This book reports on the development and assessment of a novel framework for studying neural interactions (the connectome) and their dynamics (the chronnectome).
This book explores the question of whether and how meme theory or "e;memetics"e; can be fruitfully utilized in evolutionary economics and proposes an approach known as "e;economemetics"e; which is a combination of meme theory and complexity theory that has the potential to combat the fragmentation of evolutionary economics while re-connecting the field with cultural evolutionary theory.
This highly interdisciplinary volume brings together a carefully curated set of case studies examining complex systems with multiple time scales (MTS) across a variety of fields: materials science, epidemiology, cell physiology, mathematics, climatology, energy transition planning, ecology, economics, sociology, history, and cultural studies.
This lecture provides an introduction to Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), a technology enabling automatic identification of objects at a distance without requiring line-of-sight.
Volunteer Police, Choosing to Serve provides an in-depth comparison between volunteer policing in the United States and in the United Kingdom, and explores the shared past and similar-yet sometimes divergent-evolution of special constables, auxiliaries, and reserves.
This book is the final outcome of the Eurographics Workshop on Design, Specification and Verification of Interactive Systems, that was held in Bonas, from June 7 to 9, 1995.
Most failure or accident investigations begin at the end of the story: after the explosion, after the fire has been extinguished, or after the collapse.
Amid the dynamic growth of artificial intelligence, this book presents a collection of findings and advancements from the second edition of the A2IA-Artificial Intelligence and Industrial Applications conference.
The new edition of this popular book has been transformed into a hands-on textbook, focusing on the principles of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), their applications, their protocols and standards, and their analysis and test tools; a meticulous care has been accorded to the definitions and terminology.
This book offers a unique compendium of the authors' own research on the use of theoretical stability analysis, showing how to take advantage of local stability design and ultimate boundedness for practical robot control.
This textbook introduces space vehicle maneuvering, propulsion, dynamics and control, and discusses the space environment and its influence on the spacecraft propulsion system.
