Erdoğan’s ‘New’ Turkey Attempted Coup d’état and the Acceleration of Political Crisis

Erdoğan’s ‘New’ Turkey Attempted Coup d’état and the Acceleration of Political Crisis

Demonstrating how Turkey’s politics have developed this book focuses on the causes and consequences of the failed coup d'état of 15 July 2016. The momentous event and its aftermath challenges us to ask if the coup was the cause of Turkey’s present crisis or simply an accelerant of trends already in motion and thus a catalyst for the realization of Erdoğan’s latent authoritarian impulses. Bringing together approaches from politics sociology history and anthropology the chapters shed much-needed light on these crucial questions. They offer scholars and nonspecialists alike a comprehensive overview of the implications of the coup attempt and its aftermath on the issues of religion democracy the Kurds the state resistance and more besides. Its effects have been felt in almost every aspect of Turkish society from religion to politics yet it came at a time when Turkey was already experiencing significant social and political turmoil under the increasingly authoritarian leadership of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Readers interested in contemporary politics Turkish and Middle Eastern studies will find the volume useful as they ponder other cases in this era of democratic retrenchment and global turmoil. | Erdoğan’s ‘New’ Turkey Attempted Coup d’état and the Acceleration of Political Crisis

Temporal Boundaries of Law and Politics Time Out of Joint

Temporal Boundaries of Law and Politics Time Out of Joint

In the last decade the changing role of time in society has once again taken centre stage in the academic debate. A prominent but surely not the only aspect of this debate hinges on the so-called acceleration of time and its societal consequences. Despite the fact that time is fundamental to the way in which law and politics function the influence of the contemporary experience of time on law and politics remains underdeveloped. How for example does society’s structural acceleration impact on justice? Does law actually offer stability and predictability in an ever-changing global world? How can legal and political institutions function in the wake of ever-increasing uncertainty? Both law and politics employ time to order society but they are also limited in what can be effectuated by time. It is this very tension between temporal possibilities and limitations that the contributors to this collection – drawn from different fields of law as well as from other disciplines – examine. | Temporal Boundaries of Law and Politics Time Out of Joint

Binary Neural Networks Algorithms Architectures and Applications

Binary Neural Networks Algorithms Architectures and Applications

Deep learning has achieved impressive results in image classification computer vision and natural language processing. To achieve better performance deeper and wider networks have been designed which increase the demand for computational resources. The number of floatingpoint operations (FLOPs) has increased dramatically with larger networks and this has become an obstacle for convolutional neural networks (CNNs) being developed for mobile and embedded devices. In this context Binary Neural Networks: Algorithms Architectures and Applications will focus on CNN compression and acceleration which are important for the research community. We will describe numerous methods including parameter quantization network pruning low-rank decomposition and knowledge distillation. More recently to reduce the burden of handcrafted architecture design neural architecture search (NAS) has been used to automatically build neural networks by searching over a vast architecture space. Our book will also introduce NAS and binary NAS and its superiority and state-of-the-art performance in various applications such as image classification and object detection. We also describe extensive applications of compressed deep models on image classification speech recognition object detection and tracking. These topics can help researchers better understand the usefulness and the potential of network compression on practical applications. Moreover interested readers should have basic knowledge of machine learning and deep learning to better understand the methods described in this book.

Domingo de Soto and the Early Galileo Essays on Intellectual History

Domingo de Soto and the Early Galileo Essays on Intellectual History

The unifying theme in this second volume of essays by William A. Wallace to be published in the Variorum series is signaled in the title of the opening paper: 'Domingo de Soto and the Iberian roots of Galileo's science'. The seven essays in the first part provide textual studies of Soto's early formulations of the laws of falling bodies the context in which they were developed in the 16th century and the ways in which they were transmitted in Spain and Portugal to the early 17th century mainly by Jesuit scholars. The following essays focus on the young Galileo and his work at Pisa and Padua leading to his discovery of the law of uniform acceleration in free fall. Textual evidence is presented for an indirect influence of Soto's work on Galileo mediated by Jesuits who were teaching at Padua in the first decade of the 17th century. | Domingo de Soto and the Early Galileo Essays on Intellectual History

Changing Representations of Nature and the City The 1960s-1970s and their Legacies

Changing Representations of Nature and the City The 1960s-1970s and their Legacies

The turn of the 1960s-70s characterized by the rapid acceleration of globalization prompted a radical transformation in the perception of urban and natural environments. The urban revolution and related prospect of the total urbanisation of the planet in concert with rapid population growth and resource exploitation instigated a surge in environmental awareness and activism. One implication of this moment is a growing recognition of the integration and interconnection of natural and urban entities. The present collection is an interdisciplinary inquiry into the changing modes of representation of nature in the city beginning from the turn of the 1960s/70s. Bringing together a number of different disciplinary approaches including architectural studies and aesthetics heritage studies and economics environmental science and communication the collection reflects upon the changing perception of socio-natures in the context of increasing urban expansion and global interconnectedness as they are/were manifest in specific representations. Using cases studies from around the globe the collection offers a historical and theoretical understanding of a paradigmatic shift whose material and symbolic legacies are still accompanying us in the early 21st century. | Changing Representations of Nature and the City The 1960s-1970s and their Legacies

Guidance of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

Guidance of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

Written by an expert with more than 30 years of experience Guidance of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles contains new analytical results taken from the author’s research which can be used for analysis and design of unmanned aerial vehicles guidance and control systems. This book progresses from a clear elucidation of guidance laws and unmanned aerial vehicle dynamics to the modeling of their guidance and control systems. Special attention is paid to guidance of autonomous UAVs which differs from traditional missile guidance. The author explains UAV applications contrasting them to a missile’s limited ability (or inability) to control axial acceleration. The discussion of guidance laws for UAVs presents a generalization of missile guidance laws developed by the author. The computational algorithms behind these laws are tested in three applications—for the surveillance problem the refueling problem and for the motion control of a swarm of UAVs. The procedure of choosing and testing the guidance laws is also considered in an example of future generation of airborne interceptors launched from UAVs. The author provides an innovative presentation of the theoretical aspects of unmanned aerial vehicles’ guidance that cannot be found in any other book. It presents new ideas that once crystallized can be implemented in the new generation of unmanned aerial systems.
