艾莉森•简出生于英国的翰弗郡，成长在德比郡。她就读于伦敦大学的平面设计专业，学习了绘画与专业插画的技巧，并以全班第一名的成绩毕业，之后就职于一家动漫工作室。 就这样过了一两年，她决定改变职业方向，开始了插画家的职业生涯。现在她的插画作品遍布于各个领域，包括设计、广告、项目，以及她最热爱的童书创作。目前她正与阿德曼动画公司（Ardman Animation）合作，制作新版本的《胡桃夹子》动画电影。 艾莉森的画作非常具有特点，她利用一种叫做Alkyd（醇酸树脂）的油画颜料作画，在画布表面做一层快速涂抹，干了就会形成类似于龟裂的仿旧效果。很多小读者将她的画作可爱地称为“碎蛋壳画”。她在创作插画中非常注重趣味性，每张图之间都会暗藏承上启下的线索，并将大家耳熟能详的童话故事融入其中，使插画能够无限地延伸，增大了阅读的自主和自由度。

多核处理器的出现使得并行编程成为了每个程序员关注的主题。不具备多处理器核的计算机系统已经变得越来越少。本书为c++程序给出了并行编程的解决方案，它既不要求放弃c++，也不要求使用那些裸线程或者本地线程。 本书介绍的是Intel线程构建模块。线程构建模块是一个用来实现并行语义的c++模板库，它对c++进行了扩展，抽象出了线程管理机制并支持简明的并行编程。在使用这个库时，你所要指定的是任务而不是线程，然后库将高效自动地将这些任务映射到线程上。如果希望程序在处理器核不断增加的情况下也能够继续运行，那么这种方式将带来许多好处。与裸线程相比，线程构建模块能够使你更方便地表达并行语义，同时还能够提高程序的性能，可移植性和可扩展性。在使用本书时，你无需任何并行编程经验或者在多核处理器上的编程经验。无论你是拥有丰富的并行编程经验，还是对并行编程一无所知，本书的内容都...(展开全部)

Complex adaptive systems (cas), including ecosystems, governments, biological cells, and markets, are characterized by intricate hierarchical arrangements of boundaries and signals. In ecosystems, for example, niches act as semi-permeable boundaries, and smells and visual patterns serve as signals; governments have departmental hierarchies with memoranda acting as signals; and ...(展开全部)

An overarching framework for comparing and steering complex adaptive systems is developed through understanding the mechanisms that generate their intricate signal/boundary hierarchies. Complex adaptive systems (cas), including ecosystems, governments, biological cells, and markets, are characterized by intricate hierarchical arrangements of boundaries and signals.
