| discovering computers 2014 vermaat: Your Stone Age Brain in the Screen Age Richard E. Cytowic, 2024-10-01 An award-winning neurologist on the Stone-Age roots of our screen addictions, and what to do about them. The human brain hasn’t changed much since the Stone Age, let alone in the mere thirty years of the Screen Age. That’s why, according to neurologist Richard Cytowic—who, Oliver Sacks observed, “changed the way we think of the human brain”—our brains are so poorly equipped to resist the incursions of Big Tech: They are programmed for the wildly different needs of a prehistoric world. In Your Stone Age Brain in the Screen Age, Cytowic explains exactly how this programming works—from the brain’s point of view. What he reveals in this book shows why we are easily addicted to screen devices; why young, developing brains are particularly vulnerable; why we need silence; and what we can do to push back. In the engaging storytelling style of his popular TED Talk, Cytowic draws an easily comprehensible picture of the Stone Age brain’s workings—the function of neurotransmitters like dopamine in basic instincts for survival such as desire and reward; the role of comparison in emotion, and emotion in competition; and, most significantly, the orienting reflex, one of the unconscious circuits that automatically focus, shift, and sustain attention. Given this picture, the nature of our susceptibility to digital devices becomes clear, along with the possibility of how to break their spell. Full of practical actions that we can start taking right away, Your Stone Age Brain in the Screen Age offers compelling evidence that we can change the way we use technology, resist its addictive power over us, and take back the control we have lost. |

| discovering computers 2014 vermaat: System Overview of Cyber-Technology in a Digitally Connected Global Society Joseph O. Esin, 2017-01-16 The author acknowledges the links between education, technology, network operating systems, data, and information transmission and communications, cybertechnology, culture of education, instruction, and learning. In essence, recognizing the correlation among the education and the world of codified technology, this book will assist in providing a deeper understanding and greater improvement of instructional methods and strategies. In addition, this book will provide a correlation between education and technology as a promising and systematic approach for moving away from or conventional methods of classroom instruction and learning endeavors. The readers, in essence, will see the integration of education and cybertechnology as a pinnacle of educational reform for current and future generations. Furthermore, the contents of this book also help expound the benefits and the broad range of possibilities that technology can offer in education, instruction, and the learning process. The proliferation of the uncertain telegraph and mechanized printing machines changed the quality of human writing. We can also expect the use of a well-synthesized educational technology textbook for instruction and learning to lead to the same startling changes in human society. It is the authors view that the anticipated changes should not assume any deficiency on the part of the professors, instructors, and allied educators. Rather, it should ascertain that educators need to be proficient in the use of technology to manage and deliver instruction in different subject areas, such as computer information technology, network technology, wired and wireless technology, and cyber security threats. The author firmly believes that current and future learners are essentially the conglomeration of unfurnished learner materials that are ready and willing to be furnished by the educational system. |

And why does so much of our knowledge remain unconscious? Thanks to clever psychological and brain-imaging experiments, scientists are closer to cracking this mystery than ever before. In this lively book, Stanislas Dehaene describes the pioneering work his lab and the labs of other cognitive neuroscientists worldwide have accomplished in defining, testing, and explaining the brain events behind a conscious state. We can now pin down the neurons that fire when a person reports becoming aware of a piece of information and understand the crucial role unconscious computations play in how we make decisions. The emerging theory enables a test of consciousness in animals, babies, and those with severe brain injuries. A joyous exploration of the mind and its thrilling complexities, Consciousness and the Brain will excite anyone interested in cutting-edge science and technology and the vast philosophical, personal, and ethical implications of finally quantifying consciousness. |

Verghese, 2018-10-18 For upper-level undergraduate courses in deterministic and stochastic signals and system engineering An Integrative Approach to Signals, Systems and Inference Signals, Systems and Inference is a comprehensive text that builds on introductory courses in time- and frequency-domain analysis of signals and systems, and in probability. Directed primarily to upper-level undergraduates and beginning graduate students in engineering and applied science branches, this new textbook pioneers a novel course of study. Instead of the usual leap from broad introductory subjects to highly specialised advanced subjects, this engaging and inclusive text creates a study track for a transitional course. Properties and representations of deterministic signals and systems are reviewed and elaborated on, including group delay and the structure and behavior of state-space models. The text also introduces and interprets correlation functions and power spectral densities for describing and processing random signals. Application contexts include pulse amplitude modulation, observer-based feedback control, optimum linear filters for minimum mean-square-error estimation, and matched filtering for signal detection. Model-based approaches to inference are emphasised, in particular for state estimation, signal estimation, and signal detection.

| discovering computers 2014 vermaat: Meta-Regression Analysis in Economics and Business T.D. Stanley, Hristos Doucouliagos, 2012-08-21 The purpose of this book is to introduce novice researchers to the tools of meta-analysis and meta-regression analysis and to summarize the state of the art for existing practitioners. Meta-regression analysis addresses the rising Tower of Babel that current economics and business research has become. Meta-analysis is the statistical analysis of previously published, or reported, research findings on a given hypothesis, empirical effect, phenomenon, or policy intervention. It is a systematic review of all the relevant scientific knowledge on a specific subject and is an essential part of the evidence-based practice movement in medicine, education and the social sciences. However, research in economics and business is often fundamentally different from what is found in the sciences and thereby requires different methods for its synthesis—meta-regression analysis. This book develops, summarizes, and applies these meta-analytic methods. |
| discovering computers 2014 vermaat: The Foundations of Communication in Criminal Justice Systems Daniel Adrian Doss, William H. Glover, Jr., Rebecca A. Goza, Michael Wigginton, Jr., 2014-10-17 Myriad forms of communication occur within the criminal justice system as judges and attorneys speak to juries, law enforcement officers interact with the public, and the news media presents stories of events in courtrooms. Hindrances abound, however. Law enforcement officers and justice system personnel often encounter challenges that affect their ability to communicate with others, ranging from language barriers, to conflicting accounts of witnessed events, to errors caused by malfunctioning technology. Examining the relevancy of the U.S. Constitution to modern communications, The Foundations of Communication in Criminal Justice Systems demonstrates how information is conveyed from multiple perspectives in a range of scenarios, enabling readers to see how these matters relate to and affect the criminal justice system. Topics covered include: How to use the communications process within the justice system from the crafting of messages through the solicitation of feedback Effective methods for persuading individuals and audiences Federal regulations in the workplace and workplace communications tactics How law enforcement and public safety entities use marketing and advertising to influence the general public How to use multimedia resources when communicating Using multiple communications styles to support effective leadership The book concludes with discussions on innovations in communication technology, natural language processing, cybernetics, and other emerging concepts. With an emphasis on logical reasoning in communication, the book explores the perspectives of numerous players in the justice system, from patrol officers to attorneys. Supplemented by examples of written communication templates that can be adapted within a law enforcement organization, it provides readers with solid theoretical and applied approaches to the subject matter. |

| discovering computers 2014 vermaat: Un cervello dellʼEtà della pietra nellʼEra degli schermi Richard E. Cytowic, 2025-03-17T00:00:00+01:00 Il nostro cervello non è molto diverso da quello degli antenati dell'età della pietra. Ecco perché è così poco attrezzato per resistere alle incursioni delle Big Tech: a livello fisiologico il cervello umano è ancora programmato per le esigenze di un mondo preistorico. La funzione della dopamina negli istinti fondamentali di sopravvivenza, il ruolo delle emozioni nella competizione e, soprattutto, il riflesso di orientamento, uno dei circuiti inconsci che focalizza l'attenzione, sono alla base del funzionamento del cervello, oggi come allora, e sono i responsabili delle nostre dipendenze da smartphone. Con lo stile coinvolgente dei suoi popolari TED Talk, Richard E. Cytowic illustra come funziona la programmazione cerebrale, rivela perché siamo dipendenti dagli schermi e perché i cervelli giovani e in via di sviluppo sono particolarmente vulnerabili; infine, spiega perché abbiamo bisogno di silenzio e cosa possiamo fare per opporci. Conoscere questi meccanismi è il primo passo per cambiare il modo in cui usiamo la tecnologia, resistere al suo potere di assuefazione e riprendere il controllo che abbiamo perso sul nostro tempo. |

Once you're enabled with the techniques covered in this book, you can start to alleviate some of the inherent vulnerabilities that make today's software so susceptible to attack. The book uses web servers and web applications as running examples throughout the book. For the past few years, the Internet has had a wild, wild west flavor to it. Credit card numbers are stolen in massive numbers. Commercial web sites have been shut down by Internet worms. Poor privacy practices come to light and cause great embarrassment to the corporations behind them. All these security-related issues contribute at least to a lack of trust and loss of goodwill. Often there is a monetary cost as well, as companies scramble to clean up the mess when they get spotlighted by poor security practices. It takes time to build trust with users, and trust is hard to win back. Security vulnerabilities get in the way of that trust. Foundations of Security: What Every Programmer Needs To Know helps you manage risk due to insecure code and build trust with users by showing how to write code to prevent, detect, and contain attacks. The lead author co-founded the Stanford Center for Professional Development Computer Security Certification. This book teaches you how to be more vigilant and develop a sixth sense for identifying and eliminating potential security vulnerabilities. You'll receive hands-on code examples for a deep and practical understanding of security. You'll learn enough about security to get the job done. |

| discovering computers 2014 vermaat: Metrics and Models for Evaluating the Quality and Effectiveness of ERP Software Muketha, Geoffrey Muchiri, Micheni, Elyjoy Muthoni, 2019-07-26 Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is a class of integrated software that uses software technologies to implement real-time management of business processes in an organization. ERPs normally cut across organizations, making them large and complex. Software researchers have for many years established that complexity affects software quality negatively and must therefore be controlled with novel metrics and models of evaluation that can determine when the software is at acceptable levels of quality and when not. Metrics and Models for Evaluating the Quality and Effectiveness of ERP Software is a critical scholarly publication that examines ERP development, performance, and challenges in business settings to help improve decision making in organizations that have embraced ERPs, improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their activities, and improve their return on investments (ROI). Highlighting a wide range of topics such as data mining, higher education, and security, this book is essential for professionals, software developers, researchers, academicians, and security professionals. |

In a complete re-envisioning of the previous edition, Automating Media Centers and Small Libraries: A Microcomputer-Based Approach, Dania Bilal conceptualizes library automation in the Library Automation Life Cycle (LALC) that is informed by the systems development lifecycle (SDLC). She explains how the next-generation discovery services supported in the library services platforms (LSPs) provide a single point of access to library content in all types and formats, thereby offering a unified solution to managing library operations. The book covers methods of analyzing user requirements, describes how to structure these requirements in RFPs, and details proprietary and open-source integrated library systems (ILSs) and LSPs for school, public, special, and academic libraries. Up-to-date information is provided about ILS software installation and testing, software and hardware architecture such as single- and multi-tenant SaaS and Paas and IaaS, and usability assessment strategies for evaluating the ILS or LSP. The author concludes by describing what is likely coming next in the library automation arena. |
