"The papers in this volume, are characterised by new ideas, fresh approaches and new criticisms of old ideas. A common theme which is explicit in most papers is a rejection of the adequacy of what might be called classical cognitive science involving 'language of thought' approaches to mental representation. Within AI, this kind of critique has taken the form of a rejection of 'GOFAI', that is the symbolic approach of 'Good Old Fashioned AI.'". "The volume starts with papers which treat the more general issues and those which survey the field of both current and older theories when offering new approaches to mental representation. The volume finishes with papers that focus on more specific topics like the role of representation in memory and the nature of causal representations or something quite different?"--BOOK JACKET.

In this IAU Symposium on Wolf--Rayet stars, binary aspects received ample attention, notably because of the recognition that many observations of spectral and photometric variability at all accessible wavelengths are related to colliding winds or other forms of wind interaction. The basic structure of the conference and its proceedings is basic parameters and general properties of WR stars; state of the art model atmospheres for WR stars, anisotropic mass loss and disk formation of WR stars, properties of WR binaries; influence of stellar winds on mass transfer in hot massive binary evolution; dust formation near WR stars and other circumstellar phenomena; and hydrodynamics and high-energy physics of colliding winds in WR+O binaries and of WR winds interacting with compact objects. Within this framework 20 invited reviews, 38 invited oral contributions, and 76 poster papers were presented at the Symposium, entertaining 111 astronomers from 24 countries. These proceedings provide up-to-date information on all aspects of Wolf--Rayet atmospheres, binaries, and colliding winds.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the Third International Conference on Analysis of Images, Social Networks and Texts, AIST 2014, held in Yekaterinburg, Russia, in April 2014. The 11 full and 10 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 74 submissions. They are presented together with 3 short industrial papers, 4 invited papers and tutorials. The papers deal with topics such as analysis of images and videos; natural language processing and computational linguistics; social network analysis; machine learning and data mining; recommender systems and collaborative technologies; semantic web, ontologies and their applications; analysis of socio-economic data.

Parler de la relation Homme-milieu, c'est reconnaître l'interaction entre l'Homme et la nature. Repenser cette relation sous-tend que les règles qui la régissent aujourd'hui posent problème. L'Homme qui tire sa vie et son existence de la nature a l'obligation de conserver cette nature, faisant appel à un sens des responsabilités plus accru de l'Homme envers la création. Ce livre attire l'attention sur la question écologique, notamment le respect de l'environnement.
