Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book is not a research monograph about Malliavin calculus with the latest results and the most sophisticated proofs. It does not contain all the results which are known even for the basic subjects which are addressed here. The goal was to give the largest possible variety of proof techniques. For instance, we did not focus on the proof of concentration inequality for functionals of the Brownian motion, as it closely follows the lines of the analog result for Poisson functionals. This book grew from the graduate courses I gave at Paris-Sorbonne and Paris-Saclay universities, during the last few years. It is supposed to be as accessible as possible for students who have knowledge of Ito calculus and some rudiments of functional analysis. 184 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -When it comes to branding the energy space, an exciting and largely unexplored field of research emerges. Energy companies are under the spotlight as consumers press for positive action on sustainability, CSR, and environmental issues. In light of this, this book has two objectives. First, the author explores the challenges and opportunities that experts within the field face when deciding on strategic brand direction. The results indicate that practitioners in recently liberalised markets have met the emerging branding challenges, such as differentiating commodities, meeting new consumer demands, and building strong brands. Second, the book examines, from an expert-practitioner point of view, whether branding and building brands are activities relevant to this type of market. This book, therefore, attempts to fill a literature gap, as it examines the applicability of theoretical and practical methods of branding and brand strategies in a commodity market, in this case the energy market.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book covers both classical and modern models in deep learning. The primary focus is on the theory and algorithms of deep learning. The theory and algorithms of neural networks are particularly important for understanding important concepts, so that one can understand the important design concepts of neural architectures in different applications. Why do neural networks work When do they work better than off-the-shelf machine-learning models When is depth useful Why is training neural networks so hard What are the pitfalls The book is also rich in discussing different applications in order to give the practitioner a flavor of how neural architectures are designed for different types of problems.Deep learning methods for various data domains, such as text, images, and graphs are presented in detail. The chapters of this book span three categories:The basics of neural networks:The backpropagation algorithm is discussed in Chapter 2.Many traditional machine learning models can be understood as special cases of neural networks. Chapter 3 explores the connections between traditional machine learning and neural networks. Support vector machines, linear/logistic regression, singular value decomposition, matrix factorization, and recommender systems are shown to be special cases of neural networks.Fundamentals of neural networks: A detailed discussion of training and regularization is provided in Chapters 4 and 5. Chapters 6 and 7 present radial-basis function (RBF) networks and restricted Boltzmann machines.Advanced topics in neural networks: Chapters 8, 9, and 10 discussrecurrent neural networks, convolutional neural networks, and graph neural networks.Several advanced topics like deep reinforcement learning, attention mechanisms, transformer networks, Kohonen self-organizing maps, and generative adversarial networks are introduced in Chapters 11 and 12.The textbook is written for graduate students and upper under graduate level students. Researchers and practitioners working within this related field will want to purchase this as well.Where possible, an application-centric view is highlighted in order to provide an understanding of the practical uses of each class of techniques.The second edition is substantially reorganized and expanded with separate chapters on backpropagation and graph neural networks. Many chapters have been significantly revised over the first edition.Greater focus is placed on modern deep learning ideas such as attention mechanisms, transformers, and pre-trained language models. 556 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This textbook deals with the progressive global dissolution of political, economic, and social boundaries, which has significant implications for labor markets, the international division of labor, social security, and income distribution. Politically, it is eroding the sovereign ability of nation-states to shape their own affairs; socially, it conjures up the specter of an increasingly global culture of unity. Against the background of the empirical effects of globalization processes in a number of areas, the book discusses to what extent these fears are justified, whether they cannot also be explained by other developments, and whether the benefits of globalization justify the costs and risks resulting from it.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In diesem Buch argumentiert Kaushik Basu, einer der weltweit führenden Wirtschaftswissenschaftler, dass die traditionelle ökonomische Analyse des Rechts erhebliche Mängel aufweist und bestimmte kritische Fragen nicht zufriedenstellend beantworten kann. Warum werden gute Gesetze formuliert, aber nie umgesetzt Wenn Gesetze nicht durchgesetzt werden, ist das dann ein Versagen des Gesetzes oder der Vollstrecker Und, was am wichtigsten ist, wenn man bedenkt, dass Gesetze nur Worte auf dem Papier sind, warum sind sie dann wirksam Basu bietet eine provokante Alternative, wie die Beziehung zwischen Wirtschaft und realer Rechtsdurchsetzung verstanden werden kann.Basu fasst die neoklassische Rechts- und Wirtschaftswissenschaft zusammen, bevor er sich mit den Schwächen dieser Disziplin befasst. Mit Hilfe der modernen Spieltheorie entwickelt er einen 'Brennpunkt'-Ansatz, der nicht nur die eigennützigen Handlungen der Bürger modelliert, die Gesetze befolgen müssen, sondern auch die Funktionäre des Staates - Politiker, Richter und Bürokraten -, die diese Gesetze durchsetzen. Er veranschaulicht die Zusammenhänge zwischen sozialen Normen und dem Gesetz und zeigt, wie gut durchdachte Ideen das menschliche Verhalten verändern und fördern können. Zum Beispiel werden sich Geber und Nehmer von Bestechungsgeldern zusammentun, wenn sie vor dem Gesetz gleich behandelt werden. Und bei Nahrungsmittelhilfeprogrammen sollten Gutscheine direkt an die Armen ausgegeben werden, um zu verhindern, dass Ladenbesitzer subventionierte Rationen auf dem freien Markt verkaufen. Basu liefert ein neues Paradigma für das Zusammenspiel von Recht und Wirtschaft - ein Rahmen, der sowohl für weniger entwickelte Länder als auch für die entwickelte Welt gilt.'Der Rechtsstaat als Geflecht von Erwartungen' zeigt die Grenzen und Möglichkeiten von Recht und Wirtschaft auf und schlägt eine neue Denkweise vor, die wirksamere Gesetze und eine gerechtere Gesellschaft ermöglichen wird. 228 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Stellen Sie sich vor, ein demokratischer Staat muss ein komplexes Problem lösen. Der Lösung muss eine Mehrheit der Bevölkerung zustimmen. Es stehen zwei Lösungen zur Wahl: Eine komplizierte, die schwer zu verstehen ist, das Problem aber löst und eine einfache, die leicht verständlich dargestellt werden kann, aber falsch ist, und das Problem nicht löst. Welche wird die Wahl gewinnen Vermutlich die leichte, falsche Lösung.Wir Menschen tragen den 'sense making Trieb' in uns. Wir wollen verstehen, was um uns herum geschieht. Die Welt ist aber zu schwierig und zu kompliziert, um sie tatsächlich begreifen zu können. Das macht die leichten Scheinlösungen so verführerisch. Wir lieben sie, weil sie uns vorgaukeln, wir wüssten Bescheid. Politiker wissen das und bedienen uns mit leichter Kost und die Medien wissen es auch. Das führt zu der Frage: Sind Demokratien mit Ihrer breiten politischen Mitbestimmung überhaupt in der Lage, die hochkomplexen Probleme unserer Zeit zu lösen Früher hat uns das Denken in weltanschaulichen Bahnen geholfen. Aber die Zeit ist darüber hinweggegangen und heute gibt keine klaren 'linken' oder 'rechten' Lösungen mehr. Wir brauchen deshalb dringend neue Wege, um als Demokratie zu überleben.Das Besondere an diesem Buch: Es enthält in jedem Kapitel auch eine Audioversion des Textes. 232 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Die Kunst des Cyberkriegesgreift die strategischen und taktischen Vorgehensweisen für Angriff und Verteidigung im digitalen Zeitalter auf. Dazu bedient sich der Autor historischer Konflikte (von Sun Tsu bis Carl von Clausewitz) und deren Ausgängen, um aufzuzeigen, dass es ungeachtet der veränderten Bedingungen wie Zeit, Ort, Mittel und Ressourcen - nicht aber der physikalischen Gesetze - möglich ist, von früheren Aktionen und deren Reaktionen zu lernen.Der Autor möchte mit diesem Buch zeigen, dass wir in Wirklichkeit nur alte Methoden in unser jetziges Zeitalter transferiert, aber dabei vergessen haben, deren Gründe und Auswirkungen und natürlich die daraus resultierenden Lehren mit zu übersetzen. Denn wie schon vor tausenden von Jahren sind und bleiben die Gründe für menschengeschaffene Konflikte immer dieselben: Reichtum, Ruhm, Macht, Ehre oder Lust. Kann man aus der Geschichte etwas für heutige und zukünftige (Cyber-)Kriege lernen 372 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Do Member States of the EU have a free hand in drafting Accession Treaties, or are there legal constraints on their primary law-making powers in this regard That is the main question this book addresses. It argues that such constraints do exist, and seeks to identify them, thereby providing a number of insights into the nature of the EU's legal order. The point of departure as well as the main focus of the study is the proposed permanent safeguard clause (PSC) on the free movement of persons in the Negotiating Framework for Turkey. Legal provisions, rules, principles and norms that might constrain Member States in this regard are identified with reference to the PSC.The book examines constraints on Member States stemming from three sources of EU law: Association Law, based on the existing legal framework built on the EEC-Turkey Association Agreement (Part I); EU Enlargement Law, comprised of past practice and existing EU rules on enlargement (Part II); and the foundations of EU Constitutional Law (Part III), which constrain Member States whenever they act within the scope of Union law both as primary and secondary lawmakers. Part III reveals what the Court of Justice of the EU considers to be the essence or the 'very foundations' of the Union's legal order, which it protects against encroachment. This is similar to what some constitutional courts do to protect the 'inner unity' or 'basic structure' of their constitutions.The findings of this book can be applied to the accession of any candidate state. It also sheds light on important implications for future treaty amendments, and for identifying possible limits to differentiated integration. 344 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Despite the economic relevance of trade secrets, their legal protection is not basedon a robust theoretical corpus, and a large uncertainty remains regarding how theyshould be legally apprehended. The present book investigates the foundations oftheir legal protection by assessing its justifications and aims to define how this legalapprehension should be organized.The book starts with a comparative analysis of the US and the EU legal frameworks. It demonstrates the parentship existing between the two systems of protection and highlights that the incremental structuring of trade secrets protection has led to legal systems lacking broad-based conceptual foundations. In both legal orders, trade secrets rely on blurred protection, formally anchored in unfair competition, the strength of which, however, comes closer to that offered by intellectual property law. In this convoluted architecture, the judiciary is required to play a decisive role,especially at the enforcement stage. However, the absence of clarity concerning the telos of trade secrets protection leads to legal uncertainty, potentially incoherent enforcement, and, all in all, to inefficient outcomes from a welfare perspective.The book then explores a theoretical framework based on a distinction betweentwo legal objects: the undertakings' secret sphere and secret pieces of information.Securing the undertakings' secret sphere appears as a condition for thecompetition process to happen in an economy working under structural uncertainty. It requires objective regulations enforced by public authorities. On the other hand,the legal apprehension of secret pieces of information should be considered asfalling within the realm of immaterial goods regulation aiming to solve the deficit ofmarketability of this type of good. This might call - after conducting a careful policy trade-off - for the establishment of relative (i.e. inter partes) subjective rights.
