Conversations With Landscape moves beyond conventional dualist approaches to the study of landscape and its relation with humans. With contributions drawn from a variety of disciplines, including ...anthropology, geography, archaeology, philosophy, literature and the visual arts, this book explores the affects and emotions that are intrinsic to all conversations between landscape and humans. It will appeal to scholars and researchers across a range of social sciences and humanities.
Vyprávení o stárí je vyprávením o case, biologii a medicíne, ale také o smrti, lásce, tvorivosti, testí a moudrosti. Metuzalém byl název estnáctidílného poradu o stárnutí a stárí vysílaného Ceskou ...televizí v roce 2012. Pri psaní literárního scénáre bylo nejteí urcit a sestavit skutecnosti a souvislosti tak, aby se vely do patnácti minut jednoho televizního dílu. Poznávání sveta toti pripomíná nekolikarozmernou casoprostorovou sít. Ke scénárum prevedeným do kniní podoby a v textu znaceným kurzivou jsou pripojeny úvahy, vzpomínky, asociace i reflexe, které mne ly hlavou pri psaní, natácení, rozmluvách se cleny tábu, v prubehu projekce i povídání s diváky a kritiky. Také v nich je o fyzice a biologii, ale i o lidech, které jsem v ivote potkal; o strachu, vezení a psychiatrických zarízeních jako o spojitých nádobách; o Johanu von Guddenovi a jeho královském pacientu, o vcelím mozku a Cingischánovi; o americkém prezidentu Jeffersonovi a míence Sally Hemmingsové i detech, které spolu meli; o sebevradách i práci s vedeckými informacemi, o Sigmundu Freudovi v r. 2012 a také o zombie science...Frantiek Koukolík.
Quantifying the User Experience: Practical Statistics for User Research, Second Edition, provides practitioners and researchers with the information they need to confidently quantify, qualify, and ...justify their data. The book presents a practical guide on how to use statistics to solve common quantitative problems that arise in user research. It addresses questions users face every day, including, Is the current product more usable than our competition? Can we be sure at least 70% of users can complete the task on their first attempt? How long will it take users to purchase products on the website? This book provides a foundation for statistical theories and the best practices needed to apply them. The authors draw on decades of statistical literature from human factors, industrial engineering, and psychology, as well as their own published research, providing both concrete solutions (Excel formulas and links to their own web-calculators), along with an engaging discussion on the statistical reasons why tests work and how to effectively communicate results. Throughout this new edition, users will find updates on standardized usability questionnaires, a new chapter on general linear modeling (correlation, regression, and analysis of variance), with updated examples and case studies throughout. * Completely updated to provide practical guidance on solving usability testing problems with statistics for any project, including those using Six Sigma practices * Includes new and revised information on standardized usability questionnaires * Includes a completely new chapter introducing correlation, regression, and analysis of variance * Shows practitioners which test to use, why they work, and best practices for application, along with easy-to-use Excel formulas and web-calculators for analyzing data * Recommends ways for researchers and practitioners to communicate results to stakeholders in plain English
The three volume set LNAI 5177, LNAI 5178, and LNAI 5179, constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Knowledge-Based Intelligent Information and Engineering Systems, ...KES 2008, held in Zagreb, Croatia, in September 2008. The 316 revised papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected. The papers present a wealth of original research results from the field of intelligent information processing in the broadest sense; topics covered in the first volume are artificial neural networks and connectionists systems; fuzzy and neuro-fuzzy systems; evolutionary computation; machine learning and classical AI; agent systems; knowledge based and expert systems; intelligent vision and image processing; knowledge management, ontologies, and data mining; Web intelligence, text and multimedia mining and retrieval; and intelligent robotics and control.

The 53 revised full papers and 12 revised short papers presented together with 2 invited keynote papers, 22 demonstration papers, 4 industrial papers, 8 demo papers, and the abstract of 1 panel discussion, were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 225 submissions. The topics covered are social network, social network and privacy, data mining, probability and uncertainty, stream processing, graph, XML, XML and graph, similarity, searching and digital preservation, spatial queries, query processing, as well as indexing and high performance.
From the voice on the phone, to the voice on the computer, to the voice from the toaster, speech user interfaces are coming into the mainstream and are here to stay forever. Soundly anchored in HCI, ...cognitive psychology, linguistics, and social psychology, this supremely practical book is loaded with examples, how-to advice, and design templates. Drawing widely on decades of research—in lexicography, conversation analysis, computational linguistics, and social psychology—author Randy Allen Harris outlines the principles of how people use language interactively, and illustrates every aspect of design work.In the first part of the book, Harris provides a thorough conceptual basis of language in all its relevant aspects, from speech sounds to conversational principles. The second part takes you patiently through the entire process of designing an interactive speech system: from team building to user profiles, to agent design, scripting, and evaluation. This book provides interaction designers with the knowledge and strategies to craft language-based applications the way users will expect them to behave.*Loaded with examples and practical synopses of the best practice. *An ideal combination of conceptual base, practical illustrations, and "how-to" advice—for design and for the entire design process.*Will bring novice voice designers fully up to speed, and give experienced designers a new understanding of the principles underlying human speech interaction, principles from which to improve voice interaction design.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 7th International Workshop on Web Services and Formal Methods, WS-FM 2010, held in Hoboken, NJ, USA, in September 2010. ...The 11 revised full papers presented together with one invited paper were carefully reviewed and selected from 26 submissions. The papers feature topics such as web services; service oriented computing; cloud computing; formal methods; verification specification; testing; and business process management.
