Deformed Spacetime : Geometrizing Interactions in Four and Five Dimensions
This volume provides a detailed discussion of the mathematical aspects and the physical applications of a new geometrical structure of space-time, based on a generalization ("deformation") of the usual Minkowski space, as supposed to be endowed with a metric whose coefficients depend on the energy.
Deepfake detection = اكتشاف التزييف العميق
In the rapidly evolving era of artificial intelligence, addressing the escalating threats of deepfake technology becomes a necessity because of the increasing sophistication of AI algorithms in generating deceptive content, and since it threatens the integrity of information across diverse data. The main objective is to build a sophisticated AI-driven system to detect different types of deepfake in text, audio, and images. In English text deepfake detection, multiple pre-trained tokenizers have been used, but XLNET and BERT stand out with identifying objects outside the dataset with an accuracy of 0.9809 and both have been generalized & trained using LSTM. In Arabic text deepfake detection, Arabert has been trained using LSTM which led with an accuracy of 99.53% by generalizing the model. Both English and Arabic datasets have been generated to enhance the accuracy and effectiveness of the models. Audio deepfake detection has been generalized too, using Random Forest with an accuracy of 98.259%.
Deduction, Computation, Experiment : Exploring the Effectiveness of Proof
What is a proof for? What is the characteristic use of a proof as a computation, as opposed to its use as an experiment? What is the relationship between mathematical procedures and natural processes? The essays collected in this volume address such questions from different points of view and will interest students and scholars in several branches of scientific knowledge. Some essays deal with the logical skeleton of deduction, others examine the interplay between natural systems and models of computation, yet others use significant results from the natural sciences to illustrate the character of procedures in applied mathematics. Focusing on relevant conceptual and logical issues underlying the overall quest for proving, the volume seeks to cast light on what the effectiveness of proof rests on.

Decision Making for Complex Socio-Technical Systems : Robustness from Lessons Learned in Long-Term Radioactive Waste Governance
The long-term governance of radioactive waste continues to be a major complex and contentious socio-technical issue worldwide. Traditionally, it has been considered as mainly a challenge to scientists and engineers to develop technical "solutions" to specific problems. But increasingly these narrow solutions have been enlarged by wider societal considerations such as ethics, public involvement, control and retrievability – needs that have in the meanwhile been recognised by the nuclear community, at least in a general way. In this book, we analyse motives for a broad discourse as well as suggest prerequisites to launch it. The author attempts to give a novel, empirically based and technically sound treatment of fundamental issues in long-term management and governance. Written to be accessible to a wide selection of the interested public, the study proposes a combination of technical design issues, analysis methods and institutional backup in a dynamic procedure, and with involvement at all levels of political, commercial and social life.
De L’Éthique À La Justice : Langage et politique dans la philosophie de Lévinas = Language and politics in the philosophy of Levinas
Seeks to show that even if man is the event of the understanding of being, the whole of man and all meaning cannot be reduced to the understanding of being alone. On the political side, he questions the possibility of subjecting the totalitarian tendency of all politics to a search for justice that does not ultimately depend on politics itself. But these two sides are one. The discovery of a meaning beyond the comprehension of being - ethics - at the same time provides the source of the renewal of justice. Thus, by this double question, Lévinas presents to us the main threads of our investigation: a meaning beyond the comprehension of being and its ethical scope, which we call “language” and which we explore in the perspective of its importance.

Data assimilation fundamentals : A unified formulation of the state and parameter estimation problem
This textbook's significant contribution is the unified derivation of data-assimilation techniques from a common fundamental and optimal starting point, namely Bayes' theorem. Unique for this book is the "top-down" derivation of the assimilation methods. It starts from Bayes theorem and gradually introduces the assumptions and approximations needed to arrive at today's popular data-assimilation methods. This strategy is the opposite of most textbooks and reviews on data assimilation that typically take a bottom-up approach to derive a particular assimilation method.
Data Assimilation : The Ensemble Kalman Filter
Data Assimilation comprehensively covers data assimilation and inverse methods, including both traditional state estimation and parameter estimation. This text and reference focuses on various popular data assimilation methods, such as weak and strong constraint variational methods and ensemble filters and smoothers. It is demonstrated how the different methods can be derived from a common theoretical basis, as well as how they differ and/or are related to each other, and which properties characterize them, using several examples.It presents the mathematical framework and derivations in a way which is common for any discipline where dynamics is merged with measurements. The mathematics level is modest, although it requires knowledge of basic spatial statistics, Bayesian statistics, and calculus of variations. Readers will also appreciate the introduction to the mathematical methods used and detailed derivations, which should be easy to follow, are given throughout the book. The codes used in several of the data assimilation experiments are available on a web page.The focus on ensemble methods, such as the ensemble Kalman filter and smoother, also makes it a solid reference to the derivation, implementation and application of such techniques. Much new material, in particular related to the formulation and solution of combined parameter and state estimation problems and the general properties of the ensemble algorithms, is available here for the first time.
