David Hume''s "A Treatise of Human Nature: Being an Attempt to Introduce the Experimental Method into Moral Subjects," remains a cornerstone of philosophical thought, exploring the very foundations of human understanding and moral reasoning. This meticulous edition, featuring Thomas Hill Green''s insightful contributions, presents Hume''s ambitious project: to apply the rigor of the experimental method to the study of human nature. Within these pages, Hume delves into epistemology, dissecting how we acquire knowledge and form beliefs. He probes the depths of ethics and moral philosophy, examining the origins of our moral sentiments and the principles that guide our actions. "A Treatise of Human Nature" offers a profound exploration of metaphysics, questioning the nature of reality and our place within it. Hume''s work challenges readers to critically examine their own perceptions and assumptions, offering a timeless and thought-provoking investigation into the complexities of human existence. A vital read for anyone interested in philosophy, English literature, and the enduring questions surrounding human nature.

Practical Data Analytics for Innovation in Medicine: Building Real Predictive and Prescriptive Models in Personalized Healthcare and Medical Research Using AI, ML, and Related Technologies, Second Edition discusses the needs of healthcare and medicine in the 21st century, explaining how data analytics play an important and revolutionary role. With healthcare effectiveness and economics facing growing challenges, there is a rapidly emerging movement to fortify medical treatment and administration by tapping the predictive power of big data, such as predictive analytics, which can bolster patient care, reduce costs, and deliver greater efficiencies across a wide range of operational functions. Sections bring a historical perspective, highlight the importance of using predictive analytics to help solve health crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic, provide access to practical step-by-step tutorials and case studies online, and use exercises based on real-world examples of successful predictive and prescriptive tools and systems. The final part of the book focuses on specific technical operations related to quality, cost-effective medical and nursing care delivery and administration brought by practical predictive analytics. - Brings a historical perspective in medical care to discuss both the current status of health care delivery worldwide and the importance of using modern predictive analytics to help solve the health care crisis - Provides online tutorials on several predictive analytics systems to help readers apply their knowledge on today''s medical issues and basic research - Teaches how to develop effective predictive analytic research and to create decisioning/prescriptive analytic systems to make medical decisions quicker and more accurate

Synopsis for Jubilation Deferred The story begins with the two brothers decision to purchase land in the distant Mississippi Delta. Here they would seek their fortunes in farming the highly profitable cotton fields and thereby join in the wealthy agrarian base of the British Industrial Revolution. The principal advisories were believed to originate not from the unforgiving misqueto or the heat or the annual per-pound price of their produce but in the existing battle of dominance of the slave ambition. While this story centers on the savagery bestowed on the slave, it also attempts to demonstrate the shallow lives of the plantation owners as uninhibited, strong-willed malevolence. I believe you will find this story a great read. As for conclusions, this author cannot recognize conclusions to an ongoing struggle. Advancements, yes, but not to the degree of acceptance of this African American generation as compared to other races that have recently ascended our shores, thus establishing the major point of view: jubilation deferred. The story contains the slaves long-held belief that through the years of harsh treatment, their god was watching over them. This truth is verified in what you will find as a surprise ending to this fantasia. Thomas Hill

Practical Text Mining and Statistical Analysis for Non-structured Text Data Applications brings together all the information, tools and methods a professional will need to efficiently use text mining applications and statistical analysis. Winner of a 2012 PROSE Award in Computing and Information Sciences from the Association of American Publishers, this book presents a comprehensive how-to reference that shows the user how to conduct text mining and statistically analyze results. In addition to providing an in-depth examination of core text mining and link detection tools, methods and operations, the book examines advanced preprocessing techniques, knowledge representation considerations, and visualization approaches. Finally, the book explores current real-world, mission-critical applications of text mining and link detection using real world example tutorials in such varied fields as corporate, finance, business intelligence, genomics research, and counterterrorism activities. The world contains an unimaginably vast amount of digital information which is getting ever vaster ever more rapidly. This makes it possible to do many things that previously could not be done: spot business trends, prevent diseases, combat crime and so on. Managed well, the textual data can be used to unlock new sources of economic value, provide fresh insights into science and hold governments to account. As the Internet expands and our natural capacity to process the unstructured text that it contains diminishes, the value of text mining for information retrieval and search will increase dramatically. - Extensive case studies, most in a tutorial format, allow the reader to ''click through'' the example using a software program, thus learning to conduct text mining analyses in the most rapid manner of learning possible - Numerous examples, tutorials, power points and datasets available via companion website on Elsevierdirect.com - Glossary of text mining terms provided in the appendix

In his time, Thomas Hill, a British-born painter who worked extensively in the American West during the second half of the nineteenth century, earned favorable comparison with Albert Bierstadt in the East Coast press, and received highest honors for landscape painting at the Philadelphia Centennial. By the late 1860s, his monumental canvases of Yosemite commanded five thousand dollars apiece and attracted national critical acclaim. Hill is generally associated with those paintings of Yosemite and other grand landscapes and his The Driving of the Last Spike. These large-scale compositions, however, incompletely represent Thomas Hill''s talents and enthusiams. Some of the artist''s finest achievements are realized in smaller paintings, classified as oil sketches, of subjects as diverse as Newport, Rhode Island, Lake Tahoe in California, and the Pacific Northwest. These modest works attest to Hill''s powers of observation, his abilities to render immediate descriptions of his subjects, and his enchantment with his motifs. Oil sketches - usually made on board or paper and under sixteen-by-twenty inches - comprise a significant portion of Thomas Hill''s work. Spontaneously executed, they capture the artist''s direct responses to nature. As a body they offer immediacy and visual delight, as well as insights into the artist''s broad interests and the cultural context in which he worked. And because they represent, in many cases, the only surveying evidence of larger-scale paintings made from them, the oil sketches are key to documenting Hill''s career. - excerpted from the essay by Janice T. Driesbach. -- from front cover flap.
