Описание: This is a handbook for emerging programs that addresses the real world needs of employers, trainers, college administrators, faculty, workforce development professionals, economic development councils, regulatory organizations, and sponsoring groups that are working to provide a richer pool of candidates for entry level jobs as well as journeymen technical specialists pursuing careers in challenging technical fields.
The approaches, experiences, and principal factors for success described in this book provide unique and vital best practices and lessons learned for anyone seeking to prepare a technically qualified workforce for hands-on careers in fields such as advanced and integrated manufacturing, robotics and mechatronics, aviation assembly and repair, marine and automotive technology, telecommunications, and aerospace-related technologies.
Included are examples of the structures and strategies that resulted in the effective development of inspirational leadership able to instill professional work ethic and teach and apply the hands-on technical skills and competencies suitable for a host of emerging jobs in today's challenging economy and global competition.
"Championing Tomorrow's U. S. Technical Workforce" captures the key elements in an on-going battle to cope with the trends of global competition and technological change inherent in America's aerospace programs. Through the pioneering efforts and results by a group of dedicated partners from business and industry, education, and government agencies, this book catalogs the practices that succeeded in training and qualifying workers to become credentialed as certified aerospace technicians(R).

Описание:
A general framework for constructing and using probabilistic models of complex systems that would enable a computer to use available information for making decisions.
Most tasks require a person or an automated system to reason -- to reach conclusions based on available information. The framework of probabilistic graphical models, presented in this book, provides a general approach for this task. The approach is model-based, allowing interpretable models to be constructed and then manipulated by reasoning algorithms. These models can also be learned automatically from data, allowing the approach to be used in cases where manually constructing a model is difficult or even impossible. Because uncertainty is an inescapable aspect of most real-world applications, the book focuses on probabilistic models, which make the uncertainty explicit and provide models that are more faithful to reality.
Probabilistic Graphical Models discusses a variety of models, spanning Bayesian networks, undirected Markov networks, discrete and continuous models, and extensions to deal with dynamical systems and relational data. For each class of models, the text describes the three fundamental cornerstones: representation, inference, and learning, presenting both basic concepts and advanced techniques. Finally, the book considers the use of the proposed framework for causal reasoning and decision making under uncertainty. The main text in each chapter provides the detailed technical development of the key ideas. Most chapters also include boxes with additional material: skill boxes, which describe techniques; case study boxes, which discuss empirical cases related to the approach described in the text, including applications in computer vision, robotics, natural language understanding, and computational biology; and concept boxes, which present significant concepts drawn from the material in the chapter. Instructors (and readers) can group chapters in various combinations, from core topics to more technically advanced material, to suit their particular needs.

Описание: This book examines major literary texts by and about the Irish in the Middle Ages, providing an analysis of a spatial poetics developed over 600 years. It argues that the Irish theorised anew the concept of `place` and developed a `spatial turn` that reconfigured how communities in the Irish Sea region thought about writing, place and identity. -- .

Описание: Talmuda de-Eretz Israel: Archaeology and the Rabbis in Late Antique Palestine brings together an international community of historians, literature scholars and archaeologists to explorehow the integrated study of rabbinic texts and archaeology increases our understanding of both types of evidence, and of the complex culture which they together reflect. This volume reflects a growing consensus that rabbinic culture was an “embodied” culture, presenting a series of case studies that demonstrate the value of archaeology for the contextualization of rabbinic literature. It steers away from later twentieth-century trends, particularly in North America, that stressed disjunction between archaeology and rabbinic literature, and seeks a more holistic approach.
