It shows obstacles companies face in conducting socially responsible business. Focusing on government-business relations in the Netherlands, the book also exposes key policy bottlenecks: the tendency of the Dutch government to hold on to the status quo and shield incumbent firms through tax breaks and lax enforcement. There is a real risk of policies that pamper businesses. We also show how policies can better capitalize on the innovative qualities of entrepreneurship. Effective government policy makes it worthwhile for companies to alter their business model so that their products, services, and production processes benefit society. Our recommendations address the role of government, consumers, financiers, and companies themselves. While this work focuses on the Netherlands, it tackles questions that countries face worldwide on how to minimize harmful business conduct and maximize good business solutions. This makes the book broadly relevant to policymakers, business leaders, and researchers grappling with the impact of business on society today. http://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/b179ea4d8253663b791e1849210491bc.pdf b66bdd61c0c7304b8a1f01f28a4e6a05 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Building on classical foundations, it offers practical tools for the 21st century. Many applied problems center around metric questions, such as optimization with respect to distances. After a short dive into 19th-century geometry of plane curves, we turn to problems expressed by polynomial equations over the real numbers. The solution sets are real algebraic varieties. Many of our metric problems arise in data science, optimization, and statistics. These include minimizing Wasserstein distances in machine learning, maximum likelihood estimation, computing curvature, or minimizing the Euclidean distance to a variety. This book addresses a wide audience of researchers and students and can be used for a one-semester course at the graduate level. The key prerequisite is a solid foundation in undergraduate mathematics, especially in algebra and geometry. http://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/99c89b59510b668c0c7e84452c27c7ed.pdf 93388c32959832cc7fdab0e9b861c177 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Quantum Computing from Hopfield Nets: A Textbook with Python Code Examples Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Christian Bauckhage, Rafet Sifa Subject The topic of the resource Quantum Computing Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Springer Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2026 Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource PDF Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License Language A language of the resource English Type The nature or genre of the resource Text Description An account of the resource This open access book is meant as a textbook for computer science students who are looking for a gentle introduction to the world of quantum computing. More specifically, it is written for readers who have basic knowledge of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) and have a certain familiarity with search algorithms, optimization techniques, and neural networks. This is not because the authors are interested in quantum AI or quantum ML, but because they start from the basic premise that there exists a conceptual bridge between certain AI/ML models and certain quantum computing models. The purpose of this book is therefore 1) to revisit these AI/ML models and their applications, and 2) to build on this familiar foundation to segue into the study of quantum computing and its possible use cases. The presentation is technical but pragmatic and practice-oriented. The authors cover theory to the necessary extent but largely proceed in an example-driven manner. Most of the examples are concerned with combinatorial optimization and consider problems that can be cast as quadratic unconstrained binary optimization problems. Numerous Python/NumPy/SciPy codes support the mathematical discussion and demonstrate how to put theory into practice, accompanied by exercises for each chapter. Parts of the material were adopted from long-running lectures on pattern recognition, on the foundations of quantum computing, and on quantum computing algorithms, which are taught by the authors in the computer science master’s program at the University of Bonn. http://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/75a37ed103af97e2fe5c3a960ff60add.pdf 488089f8e485f4d750b86504d6b4c84f Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
