Google and Democracy: Politics and the Power of the Internet
by Sean Richey J. Benjamin TaylorFor the first time in human history, access to information on almost any topic is accessible through the Internet. A powerful extraction system is needed to disseminate this knowledge, which for most users is Google. Google Search is an extremely powerful and important component to American political life in the twenty-first century, yet its influence is poorly researched or understood. Sean Richey and J. Benjamin Taylor explore for the first time the influence of Google on American politics, specifically on direct democracy. Using original experiments and nationally representative cross-sectional data, Richey and Taylor show how Google Search returns quality information, that users click on quality information, and gain political knowledge and other contingent benefits. Additionally, they correlate Google usage with real-world voting behavior on direct democracy. Building a theory of Google Search use for ballot measures, Google and Democracy is an original addition to the literature on the direct democracy, Internet politics, and information technology. An indispensable read to all those wishing to gain new insights on how the Internet has the power to be a normatively valuable resource for citizens.
Political Advocacy and American Politics: Why People Fight So Often About Politics
by Sean Richey J. Benjamin TaylorPolitical Advocacy and American Politics provides a detailed explanation as to why citizens engage in interpersonal advocacy in the United States. Sean Richey and J. Benjamin Taylor eloquently show how the campaigns, social media, and personality and partisanship affect one's propensity for candidates, which often leads to arguments about politics. Using original qualitative, survey, and experimental studies, Richey and Taylor demonstrate the causes of political advocacy over time in the political environment and at the individual level. While some worry about the incivility in American politics, Richey and Taylor argue political talk, where conflict is common, is caused by high-activity democratic processes and normatively beneficial individual attributes. Furthermore, Richey and Taylor argue that advocacy—when conceptualized as a democratic "release valve"—is exactly the kind of conflict we might expect in a vibrant democracy. Political Advocacy and American Politics: Why People Fight So Often About Politics is ideal for university students and researchers, yet it is also accessible to any reader looking to learn more about the role campaigns and personal attributes play in the decision to advocate.

Flash Memories
by Detlev RichterThe subject of this book is to introduce a model-based quantitative performance indicator methodology applicable for performance, cost and reliability optimization of non-volatile memories. The complex example of flash memories is used to introduce and apply the methodology. It has been developed by the author based on an industrial 2-bit to 4-bit per cell flash development project. For the first time, design and cost aspects of 3D integration of flash memory are treated in this book. Cell, array, performance and reliability effects of flash memories are introduced and analyzed. Key performance parameters are derived to handle the flash complexity. A performance and array memory model is developed and a set of performance indicators characterizing architecture, cost and durability is defined. Flash memories are selected to apply the Performance Indicator Methodology to quantify design and technology innovation. A graphical representation based on trend lines is introduced to support a requirement based product development process. The Performance Indicator methodology is applied to demonstrate the importance of hidden memory parameters for a successful product and system development roadmap. Flash Memories offers an opportunity to enhance your understanding of product development key topics such as: · Reliability optimization of flash memories is all about threshold voltage margin understanding and definition; · Product performance parameter are analyzed in-depth in all aspects in relation to the threshold voltage operation window; · Technical characteristics are translated into quantitative performance indicators; · Performance indicators are applied to identify and quantify product and technology innovation within adjacent areas to fulfill the application requirements with an overall cost optimized solution; · Cost, density, performance and durability values are combined into a common factor - performance indicator - which fulfills the application requirements
Datenreiche Medizin und das Problem der Einwilligung: Ethische, rechtliche und sozialwissenschaftliche Perspektiven
by Gesine Richter Wulf Loh Alena Buyx Sebastian Graf von KielmanseggDieses Open Access Buch befasst sich mit praktischen Fragestellungen datenreicher internationaler Verbund-Forschung. Die datenreiche Medizin spielt in Diagnostik und Therapie eine immer größere Rolle – gerade angesichts immer leistungsfähigerer algorithmischer Mustererkennung. Mithilfe wachsender Datenbestände sind diese Algorithmen zunehmend in der Lage, Krankheitssymptome zu erkennen, diese mit anderen Daten in Beziehung zu setzen und so entweder bei der Suche nach Krankheitsursachen zu helfen oder Therapien zu optimieren. Vor dem Hintergrund dieser Entwicklungen vereint der Sammelband multidisziplinäre Perspektiven auf die datengetriebene medizinische Forschung mit besonderem Blick auf die Frage der Einwilligung in die Sekundärnutzung medizinischer Daten. Dabei werden zum einen ethische Überlegungen in den Bereichen Patientenautonomie und -wohlergehen, Privatheit und Datensicherheit, sowie Verantwortungsdiffusion aufgeworfen, als auch konkrete rechtliche Fragen hinsichtlich der DSGVO-Konformität erörtert. Sozialwissenschaftliche Studien zur Art und Form der Einwilligung sowie dem Patientenverhalten runden den Band ab.
