The Global Politics of Artificial Intelligence

The Global Politics of Artificial Intelligence

Technologies such as artificial intelligence have led to significant advances in science and medicine but have also facilitated new forms of repression policing and surveillance. AI policy has become without doubt a significant issue of global politics. The Global Politics of Artificial Intelligence tackles some of the issues linked to AI development and use contributing to a better understanding of the global politics of AI. This is an area where enormous work still needs to be done and the contributors to this volume provide significant input into this field of study to policy makers academics and society at large. Each of the chapters in this volume works as freestanding contribution and provides an accessible account of a particular issue linked to AI from a political perspective. Contributors to the volume come from many different areas of expertise and of the world and range from emergent to established authors. Chapter 2 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www. taylorfrancis. com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4. 0 license.

Algebraic Number Theory and Fermat's Last Theorem

Algebraic Number Theory and Fermat's Last Theorem

Updated to reflect current research Algebraic Number Theory and Fermat’s Last Theorem Fourth Edition introduces fundamental ideas of algebraic numbers and explores one of the most intriguing stories in the history of mathematics—the quest for a proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem. The authors use this celebrated theorem to motivate a general study of the theory of algebraic numbers from a relatively concrete point of view. Students will see how Wiles’s proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem opened many new areas for future work. New to the Fourth EditionProvides up-to-date information on unique prime factorization for real quadratic number fields especially Harper’s proof that Z(√14) is EuclideanPresents an important new result: Mihăilescu’s proof of the Catalan conjecture of 1844Revises and expands one chapter into two covering classical ideas about modular functions and highlighting the new ideas of Frey Wiles and others that led to the long-sought proof of Fermat’s Last TheoremImproves and updates the index figures bibliography further reading list and historical remarksWritten by preeminent mathematicians Ian Stewart and David Tall this text continues to teach students how to extend properties of natural numbers to more general number structures including algebraic number fields and their rings of algebraic integers. It also explains how basic notions from the theory of algebraic numbers can be used to solve problems in number theory. | Algebraic Number Theory and Fermat's Last Theorem

Randomized Phase II Cancer Clinical Trials

Randomized Phase II Cancer Clinical Trials

In cancer research a traditional phase II trial is designed as a single-arm trial that compares the experimental therapy to a historical control. This simple trial design has led to several adverse issues including increased false positivity of phase II trial results and negative phase III trials. To rectify these problems oncologists and biostatisticians have begun to use a randomized phase II trial that compares an experimental therapy with a prospective control therapy. Randomized Phase II Cancer Clinical Trials explains how to properly select and accurately use diverse statistical methods for designing and analyzing phase II trials. The author first reviews the statistical methods for single-arm phase II trials since some methodologies for randomized phase II trials stem from single-arm phase II trials and many phase II cancer clinical trials still use single-arm designs. The book then presents methods for randomized phase II trials and describes statistical methods for both single-arm and randomized phase II trials. Although the text focuses on phase II cancer clinical trials the statistical methods covered can also be used (with minor modifications) in phase II trials for other diseases and in phase III cancer clinical trials. Suitable for cancer clinicians and biostatisticians this book shows how randomized phase II trials with a prospective control resolve the shortcomings of traditional single-arm phase II trials. It provides readers with numerous statistical design and analysis methods for randomized phase II trials in oncology.

Handbook of Spin Transport and Magnetism

Handbook of Spin Transport and Magnetism

In the past several decades the research on spin transport and magnetism has led to remarkable scientific and technological breakthroughs including Albert Fert and Peter Grünberg’s Nobel Prize-winning discovery of giant magnetoresistance (GMR) in magnetic metallic multilayers. Handbook of Spin Transport and Magnetism provides a comprehensive balanced account of the state of the art in the field known as spin electronics or spintronics. It reveals how key phenomena first discovered in one class of materials such as spin injection in metals have been revisited decades later in other materials systems including silicon organic semiconductors carbon nanotubes graphene and carefully engineered nanostructures. The first section of the book offers a historical and personal perspective of the field written by Nobel Prize laureate Albert Fert. The second section addresses physical phenomena such as GMR in hybrid structures of ferromagnetic and normal metals. The third section discusses recent developments in spin-dependent tunneling including magnetic tunnel junctions with ferroelectric barriers. In the fourth section the contributors look at how to control spin and magnetism in semiconductors. In the fifth section they examine phenomena typically found in nanostructures made from metals superconductors molecular magnets carbon nanotubes quantum dots and graphene. The final section covers novel spin-based applications including advanced magnetic sensors nonvolatile magnetoresistive random access memory and semiconductor spin-lasers. The techniques and materials of spintronics have rapidly evolved in recent years leading to vast improvements in hard drive storage and magnetic sensing. With extensive cross-references between chapters this seminal handbook provides a complete guide to spin transport and magnetism across various classes of materials and structures.
