Alfredo Weitzenfeld, Michael A. Arbib, Amanda Alexander, "The Neural Simulation
Language: A System for Brain Modeling"
The MIT Press | ISBN 0262731495 | 2002 Year | PDF | 3,76 Mb | 459 Pages[cut]
The Neural Simulation Language (NSL), developed by Alfredo Weitzenfeld, Michael
Arbib, and Amanda Alexander, provides a simulation environment for modular brain
modeling. NSL is an object-oriented language offering object-oriented protocols
applicable to all levels of neural simulation. One of NSL's main strengths is
that it allows for realistic modeling of the anatomy of macroscopic brain
structures.
The book is divided into two parts. The first part presents an overview of
neural network and schema modeling, a brief history of NSL, and a detailed
discussion of the new version, NSL 3.0. It includes tutorials on several basic
schema and neural network models. The second part presents models built in NSL
by researchers from around the world, including those for conditional learning,
face recognition, associative search networks, and visuomotor coordination. Each
chapter provides an explanation of a model, an overview of the NSL 3.0 code, and
a representative set of simulation results.

Andrew K. Frank, "Creeks And Southerners: Biculturalism On The Early American
Frontier"
University of Nebraska Press | ISBN 0803220162 | 2005 Year | PDF | 1,42 Mb | 192
Pages[cut]
Creeks and Southerners examines the families created by the hundreds of
intermarriages between Creek Indian women and European American men in the
southeastern United States during the eighteenth and early nineteenth century.
Called "Indian countrymen" at the time, these intermarried white men moved into
their wives' villages in what is now Florida, Georgia, and Alabama. By doing so,
they obtained new homes, familial obligations, occupations, and identities. At
the same time, however, they maintained many of their ties to white American
society and as a result entered the historical record in large numbers. Creeks
and Southerners studies the ways in which many children of these relationships
lived simultaneously as Creek Indians and white Southerners. By carefully
altering their physical appearances, choosing appropriate clothing, learning
multiple languages, embracing maternal and paternal kinsmen and kinswomen, and
balancing their loyalties, the children of intermarriages found ways to bridge
what seemed to be an unbridgeable divide. Many became prominent Creek political
leaders and warriors, played central roles in the lucrative deerskin trade,
built inns and taverns to cater to the needs of European American travelers,
frequently moved between colonial American and Native communities, and served
both European American and Creek officials as interpreters, assistants, and
travel escorts. The fortunes of these bicultural children reflect the changing
nature of Creek-white relations, which became less flexible and increasingly
contentious throughout the nineteenth century as both Creeks and Americans
accepted a more rigid biological concept of race, forcing their bicultural
children to choose between identities.

Elizabeth A. Buchanan (Editor), "Readings in Virtual Research Ethics: Issues and
Controversies"
Information Science Publishing | ISBN 1591402891 | 2003 Year | PDF | 1,89 Mb |
376 Pages[cut]
Readings in Virtual Research Ethics: Issues and Controversies provides an in-
depth look at the emerging field of online research and the corresponding
ethical dilemmas associated with it. Issues related to traditional research
ethics such as autonomy or respect for persons, justice, and beneficence are
extended into the virtual realm and such areas as subject selection and
recruitment, informed consent, privacy, ownership of data, and research with
minors, among many others are explored in the media and contexts of email
surveys and interviews, synchronous chat, virtual ethnography, asynchronous
discussion lists, and newsgroups.
