Small Island Developing States: Vulnerability and Resilience Under Climate Change by Stefano Moncada
English | PDF,EPUB | 2021 | 390 Pages | ISBN : 3030827739 | 22.7 MB
This book explores how vulnerable and resilient communities from SIDS are affected by climate change; proposes and, where possible, evaluates adaptation activities; identifies factors capable of enhancing or inhibiting SIDS people's long-term ability to deal with climate change; and critiques the discourses, vocabularies, and constructions around SIDS dealing with climate change. The contributions, written by well-established scholars, as well as emerging authors and practitioners, in the field, include conceptual papers, coherent methodological approaches, and case studies from the communities based in the Caribbean Sea and the Indian, Atlantic, and Pacific Oceans.

Simulation Training through the Lens of Experience and Activity Analysis: Healthcare, Victim Rescue and Population Protection by Simon Flandin
English | EPUB | 2022 | 310 Pages | ISBN : 3030895661 | 8.4 MB
This book offers various ways in which analyzing professional experience and activity in simulation training makes it possible to describe practice-based learning affordances and processes. Research has been conducted in various simulation programs in the domains of healthcare, victim rescue and population protection, involving healthcare workers, firemen, policemen, servicemen, and civil security leaders.

Simulation Studies of Recombination Kinetics and Spin Dynamics in Radiation Chemistry by Amit Agarwal
English | PDF | 2014 | 354 Pages | ISBN : 3319062719 | 14.5 MB
Amit Agarwal's thesis reports a substantial contribution to the microscopic simulation of radiation chemical reactions. In his research Agarwal extends existing models to further understand scavenging, spin and relaxation effects. This research has advanced the development of both the Monte Carlo Random Flights and the Independent Reaction Times (IRT) simulation tools. Particular highlights are the extension of these tools to include both the spin-exchange interaction and spin relaxation, both of which are influential in radiolytic systems where many reactions are spin-controlled.

Signals and Systems, Second Edition by S. Palani
English | EPUB | 2022 | 1093 Pages | ISBN : 3030757412 | 79.7 MB
The book is designed to serve as a textbook for courses offered to undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in Electrical Engineering. The first edition of this book was published in 2014. As there is a demand for the next edition, it is quite natural to take note of the several advances that have occurred in the subject over the past five years.

Signal Analysis and Prediction by Ales Procházka
English | PDF | 1998 | 520 Pages | ISBN : 0817640428 | 49 MB
Methods of signal analysis represent a broad research topic with applications in many disciplines, including engineering, technology, biomedicine, seismography, eco nometrics, and many others based upon the processing of observed variables. Even though these applications are widely different, the mathematical background be hind them is similar and includes the use of the discrete Fourier transform and z-transform for signal analysis, and both linear and non-linear methods for signal identification, modelling, prediction, segmentation, and classification.

Shortest Connectivity: An Introduction with Applications in Phylogeny by Dietmar Cieslik
English | PDF | 2005 | 277 Pages | ISBN : 0387235388 | 11.5 MB
The problem of "Shortest Connectivity" has a long and convoluted history: given a finite set of points in a metric space, search for a network that connects these points with the shortest possible length. This shortest network must be a tree and may contain vertices different from the points which are to be connected. Over the years more and more real-life problems are given, which use this problem or one of its relatives as an application, as a subproblem or a model.

Seven Radical Ideas for the Future of Higher Education: An Australian Perspective by Claire Macken
English | EPUB | 2021 | 123 Pages | ISBN : 9811644276 | 0.3 MB
This book focuses on the disruption of the tertiary higher education system as a result of societal changes occasioned by the Fourth Industrial Revolution and hastened by COVID-19. It takes the view that higher education is on an inevitable trajectory of disruption as a result of globalisation, technological disruption, and disaggregation of the formal education sector but that it must not lose sight of its central role in equipping current and future students for the new economy.
