A Historical View of the Hindu Astronomy
Shrouded in poetry, the earliest accounts of Hindu astronomy can strike modern readers as obscure. They involve the marriage of the moon to twenty-seven princesses, a war between gods and giants, and shadows that give birth to planets. In this fascinating study, first published in Calcutta in 1823 and reissued here in the 1825 edition, John Bentley (c.1750–1824) strives to strip back the myth…

Privatization, Restructuring, and Regulation of Network Utilities
Network utilities, such as electricity, telephones, and gas, are public utilities that require a fixed network to deliver their services. Because consumers have no choice of network, they risk exploitation by network owners. Once invested, however, a network's capital is sunk, and the bargaining advantage shifts from investor to consumer. The investor, fearing expropriation, may be reluctant to…

Chapter 8 the music editions of Christian Egenolff
The present chapter, based on a first-hand examination of all of Egenolff’s music editions, including every known exemplar of ten of the fourteen extant editions, aims to remedy this, so that future work on Egenolff and the music in his editions can rest on a surer bibliographical foundation. The catalogue closes with a number of titles that either do not in fact contain printed music, or the…

Probabilistic linguistics
" ... originated as a symposium on 'Probability theory in linguistics' held in Washington, D.C. as part of the Linguistic Society of America meeting in January 2001"--Preface.For the past forty years, linguistics has been dominated by the idea that language is categorical and linguistic competence discrete. It has become increasingly clear, however, that many levels of representation, from phon…

Probabilistic models of the brain :perception and neural function
"A Bradford book."Neurophysiological, neuroanatomical, and brain imaging studies have helped to shed light on how the brain transforms raw sensory information into a form that is useful for goal-directed behavior. A fundamental question that is seldom addressed by these studies, however, is why the brain uses the types of representations it does and what evolutionary advantage, if any, these re…

Asymptotic Methods in Mechanics of Solids
The construction of solutions of singularly perturbed systems of equations and boundary value problems that are characteristic for the mechanics of thin-walled structures are the main focus of the book. The theoretical results are supplemented by the analysis of problems and exercises. Some of the topics are rarely discussed in the textbooks, for example, the Newton polyhedron, which is a gener…

Production system models of learning and development.
Cognitive psychologists have found the production systems class of computer simulation models to be one of the most direct ways to cast complex theories of human intelligence. There have been many scattered studies on production systems since they were first proposed as computational models of human problem-solving behavior by Allen Newell some twenty years ago, but this is the first book to fo…
