SynopsisNeuromorphic Devices for Brain-inspired Computing: Artificial Intelligence, Perception and Robotics Explore the cutting-edge of neuromorphic technologies with applications in AI and artificial perception In Neuromorphic Devices for Brain-inspired Computing: Artificial Intelligence, Perception and Robotics, a team of expert engineers delivers a comprehensive discussion of all aspects of neuromorphic electronics designed to assist researchers and professionals to understand and apply all manner of brain-inspired computing and perception technologies. The book covers both memristic and neuromorphic devices, including spintronic, multi-terminal, and neuromorphic perceptual applications. Summarizing recent progress made in five distinct configurations of brain-inspired computing, the authors explore this promising technology s potential applications in two specific areas: neuromorphic computing systems and neuromorphic perceptual systems. The book also includes: A thorough introduction to two-terminal neuromorphic memristors, including memristive devices and resistive switching mechanisms Comprehensive explorations of spintronic neuromorphic devices and multi-terminal neuromorphic devices with cognitive behaviors Practical discussions of neuromorphic devices based on chalcogenide and organic materials In-depth examinations of neuromorphic computing and perceptual systems with emerging devices Perfect for materials scientists, biochemists, and electronics engineers, Neuromorphic Devices for Brain-inspired Computing: Artificial Intelligence, Perception and Robotics will also earn a place in the libraries of neurochemists, neurobiologists, and neurophysiologists., A meticulous exploration of the reception history of Jonah in all its facets Jonah through the Centuries is a systematic examination of the reception history of the book of Jonah, long-recognized for its numerous theological implications and diverse interpretations. The first book of its kind written in English, this singular volume provides a lucid and coherent commentary on the most influential re-readings of Jonah in Jewish, Christian, Muslim, and secular traditions. Author Lena-Sofia Tiemeyer progresses slowly through the book of Jonah verse-by-verse--even word-by-word through key verses such as Jonah 1:1 and 2:1--to offer readers deep insight into the many and multifaceted interpretations of Jonah from early Jewish readings to modern literary retellings. Structured thematically rather than strictly chronologically, the text begins with the earliest interpretation and follows its trendline all the way through to modern times before turning to the next-oldest interpretation. The commentary covers a broad range of retellings in many languages and in various media including commentaries, sermons, prose, poetry, theatrical drama, art, and music. Throughout the text, the author demonstrates how all these retellings ultimately originate within the biblical text itself and highlights how many of the interpretations are fueled and influenced by the interpreter's religious background, cultural assumptions, and their preconceived notions of what the text should say. Discusses how retellings of Jonah ultimately originate within the text's theological or literary ambiguities, choice of words, or syntactical construction Explains how cross-cultural interchanges between Jews, Christians, and Muslims at different points throughout the centuries influenced the reception of Jonah Highlights how several retellings form clusters according to the interpreters' religious affiliations Covers various interpretations of both often-cited and lesser-known verses from the book of Jonah Interacts with an international range of literary retellings of the book of Jonah, offered in English translation Jonah through the Centuries is an invaluable resource for educated clergy, undergraduate and graduate students in both seminaries and universities, scholars and academics, and general readers with interest in the reception of biblical texts in literature, art, and music.
