Peterson Martin: Ethics for Engineers

Ethics for Engineers

ORIGINAL SIN opens with Kathryn Paige Harden taking LSD with her boyfriend in the West Texas desert, precipitating an experience in which he is unable to escape from the sense that he alone is responsible for an apocalyptic event, despite the fact that the event was impossible to avoid. Using this idea - of being born into sin, the eternal human paradox of free will versus destiny, sharpened to a razor edge by contemporary genetics - Harden explores some of the most important questions in philosophy: How are we to take responsibility for the individuals we become in light of what we know about behavioural genetics? We are not responsible for our genomes, but where does that leave us in respect of justice and punishment? If we possess a predisposition toward violence, does that make such behaviour any less egregious? If we can't help being attracted to certain people, in what sense can we be said to choose a mate or partner? In light of what we know about biology, how should we treat one another, and how can we use policies and social intervention to create a society in which all of us flourish? Beautifully written, deeply literate, autobiographically daring and informed by her own research on the cutting edge of behavioural genetics, this is a profoundly original work of literary non-fiction that promises to take us on a wild intellectual journey - and stay with us long after we turn the final page.

This is the first book to provide a sustained exploration of the philosophy of mistakes. Beginning with the distinction between mistakes and malfunction Kim Frost examines the idea that mistakes are a form of irrationality; whether there can be mistakes of sensation and emotion; the idea of mistakes as imperfect exercises of fallible powers; the seemingly paradoxical theory that mistakes seem accidental yet also explicable; and mistakes in the context of non-human animals, such as the Sphex wasp, human experience and taking responsibility for mistakes.

Mistakes are an inevitable part of human experience. We jump to conclusions, confuse one thing with another and can simply get things wrong. We make such mistakes, and in that sense we are distinctively responsible for them. In this respect, we are quite different from most other things in the natural world. This is the first book to provide a sustained exploration of the philosophy of mistakes.

In Mechanism Design and International Risk Regulation Institutions, Mike Nwogugu explains that 'Risk Management Institutions' in this context refers not just to organizations, but also to methods, assets/liabilities, mathematical computations, government interventions and regulations that pertain to global risk management. The author suggests that in order to foster economic growth, international risk regulation should transcend the current emphasis on organizations and assets/liabilities because despite international coordination and new laws enacted in various countries during 2007-2012, risk regulation remains highly ineffective in many countries.

Financial crises, including those related to sub-prime loans/mortgages, have exposed weaknesses in financial markets and risk management institutions worldwide. In 'Mechanism Design and International Risk Regulation Institutions', Mike Nwogugu explains that ’Risk Management Institutions’ in this context refers not just to organizations, but also to methods, assets/liabilities, mathematical computations, government interventions and regulations that pertain to global risk management. The author suggests that in order to foster economic growth, international risk regulation should transcend the current emphasis on organizations and assets/liabilities because despite international coordination and new laws enacted in various countries during 2007-2012, risk regulation remains highly ineffective in many countries. The author also critiques mechanism design theory (a branch of mathematics) and explains how implementation and divisibility are major elements of, and limitations to mechanisms. The author introduces new mechanisms that pertain to banking, external auditing (auditor selection), securitization, franchising, the corporate entity and credit ratings (all of which in their current form are distinct failed mechanisms). In this book, the author introduces new risk management models; and new methods for the risk-based interpretation of national Constitutions; and explains the symbolic and functional importance of Constitutional Political Economy in legislation and risk management. The Author illustrates the effects of risk regulation on economic growth. The book elucidates mechanism design theories as they relate to risk, and analyses antitrust prediction and franchising models within the context of systemic risk. The Author develops new theories of the firm and mathematical models pertaining to bankruptcy, strategic alliances and M&amp;A transactions. This book will serve the needs of Investment and corporate governance professionals; banking/securitie

With the rapid recent advances in the field of railway systems and infrastructure construction, and the evolution of AI tools that have enormous potential for application to railway design, maintenance and operations, industry professionals and researchers need an up-to-date resource on these developments. Artificial Intelligence Methods in Railway Infrastructure Systems: Application of Data Centric Engineering addresses this need. The book encapsulates the latest breakthroughs and contributions in these pivotal areas, providing readers with comprehensive insights into the cutting-edge methodologies and approaches shaping the field of railway infrastructure management. For engineers and researchers, the book provides a focused explanation of AI methodologies such as machine learning, computer vision and predictive analytics and their implementation to railway infrastructure development, tools that are new to this field. It combines theory with practical examples of the application of data centric engineering in structural health monitoring of monitoring of railway systems, thus enabling early anomaly detection and empowering infrastructure managers to address potential issues before they escalate. Given the expansive scope of research driving technological advancements in railway infrastructure management, this book serves as a reference for readers seeking to explore novel AI-based methodologies and harness their potential in the field. Readers will benefit from insights into how AI innovations can streamline their operations and enhance network safety across multiple dimensions. By providing a comprehensive overview of the subject matter, this book guides anticipatory strategies and shape future trends in railway infrastructure management.

A novel ecosystem is an ecosystem that has no historic analogue and has been brought about inadvertently by human agency. Global warming has led to the proliferation of the world's novel ecosystems, ushering in a new geologic age: the Anthropocene era. This book examines what novel ecosystems are before analyzing their ethical import.

Accelerated life tests (ALTs) have become an indispensable tool for reliability engineers to quantify a product's reliability, and for product managers to make product release decisions. However, there are many common misuses of ALTs and misinterpretations of their results. This book provides a framework for the proper design and analysis of ALTs. It compares ALTs with other industrial testing experiments, and provides guidance on their appropriate application. It features lots of examples using real data from industrial experiments, and provides statistical software for their implementation. It can be used as a textbook for students of reliability, or as a reference for practitioners
