Deep Convolutional Neural Network for The Prognosis of Diabetic Retinopathy (
English | 2023 | ISBN: 9811938768 | 120 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 13 MB
This book discusses a detailed overview of diabetic retinopathy, symptoms, causes, and screening methodologies. Using a deep convolution neural network and visualizations techniques, this work develops a prognosis system used to automatically detect the diabetic retinopathy disease from captured retina images and help improve the prediction rate of diagnosis. This book gives the readers an understanding of the diabetic retinopathy disease and recognition process that helps to improve the clinical analysis efficiency. It caters to general ophthalmologists and optometrists, diabetologists, and internists who encounter diabetic patients and most prevalent retinal diseases daily.

Mlamuli Nkosingphile Hlatshwayo, "Decolonising Knowledge and Knowers: Struggles for University Transformation in South Africa "
English | ISBN: 0367618826 | 2022 | 124 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Decolonising Knowledge and Knowers contributes to the current struggles for decolonising education in the global South, focusing on the highly illuminating case of South African higher education. Galvanised by #FeesMustFall and #RhodesMustFall student protests, South Africa has seen particularly intense and broad social engagement with debates over decolonising universities. However, much of this debate has been consumed with definitions and meanings. In contrast, Decolonising Knowledge and Knowers shows how conceptual tools, specifically from Legitimation Code Theory, can be enacted in research and teaching to meaningfully work towards productive decolonisation. Each chapter addresses a key issue in contemporary debates in South African higher education and show how practices concerning knowledge and knowers are playing a role, drawing on quantitative and qualitative research, praxis, and interdisciplinary research.

Das auratische Kunstwerk: Zur Ästhetik von Richard Wagners Musiktheaterutopie By Sven Friedrich
1996 | 239 Pages | ISBN: 3484660198 | PDF | 19 MB
Ausgehend von der Grundüberzeugung Wagners, daß das dramatische Kunstwerk erst in der sinnlichen Mitteilung an alle Sinne seine vollständige und endgültige Gestalt erlange und sich daher nur im Theater verwirkliche, erweist sich die Aura-Metapher Walter Benjamins, die "einmalige Erscheinung einer Ferne, so nah sie sein mag", als treffendes Sinnbild für die künstlerische Absicht Wagners. Hatte Benjamin den "Verfall der Aura" als Symptom des Kunstwerks "im Zeitalter seiner technischen Reproduzierbarkeit" diagnostiziert, so begriff auch bereits Wagners Kritik die als kulturelle und künstlerische Degenerationsform empfundene zeitgenössische Oper als Ausdruck für den allgemeinen Verfall der Kunst im Verlust ihrer ehemaligen Bedeutung und Dignität im Zeitalter eines blinden Materialismus. Wagner entwickelt seinen Kunstbegriff dagegen auf der geistigen Grundlage des deutschen Idealismus der klassisch-romantischen Epoche. Daher erscheint es zulässig, Wagner ästhetikgeschichtlich zwischen die zwei großen idealistischen Denkrichtungen, die Romantik und die Frankfurter Schule einzureihen und den ästhetischen Komplex des 'Musikdramas' von diesen beiden Polen aus zu beleuchten. Wagner setzt sein Kunstwerk und dessen theoretische Untermauerung als Versuch einer 'Reauratisierung', als Restituierung seiner Aura, ihrem Verfall entgegen. Bühnenfestspiel und Bühnenweihfestspiel als Verbindung von elitärer splendid isolation und demokratischem Kunstideal treten dabei in Beziehung zu kultischen und religiösen Wirkungsabsichten, wodurch im Rahmen der Regenerationsthese ein aus der Ästhetik gewonnener, rezeptionsgeschichtlich jedoch prekärer kulturtheoretischer Ansatz in Reichweite rückt. Faszinosum und Skandalon von Wagners Werk erweisen sich mithin als zwei Seiten derselben Medaille.

DApps: What Are DApps? Unlocking The Full Power Of Decentralized Applications, Blockchains, Cryptocurrencies, Smart Contracts, Web 3.0, DeFi, NFTs, Build Your Business & Generate Passive Income by Patrick Ejeke
English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0B9NH1R9X | 180 pages | EPUB | 0.54 Mb
You've heard some incredibly interesting things about DApps, but you're having trouble understanding what they are. Everyone appears to have their own definition of what they are, at least in the computer industry, and the more you look into it, the more confusingly technical it all gets. You might also be eager to create a DApp and participate in the decentralized community, but you're not exactly sure how they differ from regular applications.

Cyclotomic Fields By S. Lang
2011 | 253 Pages | ISBN: 1461299470 | PDF | 22 MB
Kummer's work on cyclotomic fields paved the way for the development of algebraic number theory in general by Dedekind, Weber, Hensel, Hilbert, Takagi, Artin and others. However, the success of this general theory has tended to obscure special facts proved by Kummer about cyclotomic fields which lie deeper than the general theory. For a long period in the 20th century this aspect of Kummer's work seems to have been largely forgotten, except for a few papers, among which are those by Pollaczek [Po], Artin-Hasse [A-H] and Vandiver [Va]. In the mid 1950's, the theory of cyclotomic fields was taken up again by Iwasawa and Leopoldt. Iwasawa viewed cyclotomic fields as being analogues for number fields of the constant field extensions of algebraic geometry, and wrote a great sequence of papers investigating towers of cyclotomic fields, and more generally, Galois extensions of number fields whose Galois group is isomorphic to the additive group of p-adic integers. Leopoldt concentrated on a fixed cyclotomic field, and established various p-adic analogues of the classical complex analytic class number formulas. In particular, this led him to introduce, with Kubota, p-adic analogues of the complex L-functions attached to cyclotomic extensions of the rationals. Finally, in the late 1960's, Iwasawa w 1 I . made the fundamental discovery that there was a close connection between his work on towers of cyclotomic fields and these p-adic L-functions of Leopoldt-Kubota.
