Prior to our entry into WWII our bombing strategy was to employ large numbers of high altitude bombers with heavy defensive firepower, flying in formation, using precision daylight bombardment. This ethical bombing technique was observed early on in WWII, but at some point the ethic changed. Why? Was it a change in the ethics of the commander or country, or was it due to a technological push through the development of on-board radar? This analysis will show that although no specific order or directive specified the destruction of Dresden, those in charge had tacitly endorsed it. History shows us that because of this change, the face of war in Europe also changed. To this day, the firestorm of Dresden remains one of the deadliest and ethically most problematic raids of WWII.Military ethicsGenerated by AIDresden (Germany)Generated by AIMilitary ethics940.542Wilcox Lt Raymond H1835709MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910163325103321The Ethics of Bombing Dresden4412584UNINA04072nam 22006015 450 991072509310332120251113210439.09783031219160(electronic bk.)978303121915310.1007/978-3-031-21916-0(MiAaPQ)EBC7247415(Au-PeEL)EBL7247415(OCoLC)1378933490(DE-He213)978-3-031-21916-0(PPN)270612807(CKB)26624134300041(EXLCZ)992662413430004120230509d2023 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierNeurodynamics An Applied Mathematics Perspective /by Stephen Coombes, Kyle C. A. Wedgwood1st ed. 2023.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2023.1 online resource (513 pages)Texts in Applied Mathematics,2196-9949 ;75Print version: Coombes, Stephen Neurodynamics Cham : Springer International Publishing AG,c2023 9783031219153 Includes bibliographical references and index.Overview -- Single neuron models-. Phenomenological models and their analysis -- Axons, dendrites, and synapses -- Response properties of single neurons -- Weakly coupled oscillator networks -- Strongly coupled spiking networks -- Population models -- Firing rate tissue models -- Stochastic calculus -- Model Details -- References.This book is about the dynamics of neural systems and should be suitable for those with a background in mathematics, physics, or engineering who want to see how their knowledge and skill sets can be applied in a neurobiological context. No prior knowledge of neuroscience is assumed, nor is advanced understanding of all aspects of applied mathematics! Rather, models and methods are introduced in the context of a typical neural phenomenon and a narrative developed that will allow the reader to test their understanding by tackling a set of mathematical problems at the end of each chapter. The emphasis is on mathematical- as opposed to computational-neuroscience, though stresses calculation above theorem and proof. The book presents necessary mathematical material in a digestible and compact form when required for specific topics. The book has nine chapters, progressing from the cell to the tissue, and an extensive set of references. It includes Markov chain models for ions, differential equations for single neuron models, idealised phenomenological models, phase oscillator networks, spiking networks, and integro-differential equations for large scale brain activity, with delays and stochasticity thrown in for good measure. One common methodological element that arises throughout the book is the use of techniques from nonsmooth dynamical systems to form tractable models and make explicit progress in calculating solutions for rhythmic neural behaviour, synchrony, waves, patterns, and their stability. This book was written for those with an interest in applied mathematics seeking to expand their horizons to cover the dynamics of neural systems. It is suitable for a Masters level course or for postgraduate researchers starting in the field of mathematical neuroscience.Texts in Applied Mathematics,2196-9949 ;75BiomathematicsDynamicsNonlinear theoriesMathematical and Computational BiologyApplied Dynamical SystemsBiomathematics.Dynamics.Nonlinear theories.Mathematical and Computational Biology.Applied Dynamical Systems.612.8612.82330151Coombes Stephen1195880Wedgwood Kyle C.
