Overview: Gives a practical introduction to agent-based modelling of socio-technical systems, such as infrastructures.Includes practical suggestions and procedures based on years of modelling experience.Provide.Decision makers in large scale interconnected network systems require simulation models for decision support. The behaviour of these systems is determined by many actors, situated in a dynamic, multi-actor, multi-objective and multi-level environment. How can such systems be modelled and how can the socio-technical complexity be captured? Agent-based modelling is a proven approach to ha

Overview: All technologies differ from one another. They are as varied as humanity‘s interaction with the physical world. Even people attempting to do the same thing produce multiple technologies. For example, John H. White discovered more than l 1000 patents in the 19th century for locomotive smokestacks. Yet all technologies are processes by which humans seek to control their physical environment and bend nature to their purposes. All technologies are alike. The tension between likeness and difference runs through this collection of papers. All focus on atmospheric flight, a twentieth-centur

Overview: Describes the state of the art in the areas of radiation tolerance circuit design and process variation tolerant circuit design.Presents analytical approaches to test efficiently the severity of electThis monograph is motivated by the challenges faced in designing reliable VLSI systems in modern VLSI processes. The reliable operation of integrated circuits (ICs) has become increasingly dif?cult to achieve in the deep submicron (DSM) era. With continuouslydecreasing device feature sizes, combinedwith lower supply voltages and higher operating frequencies, the noise immunity of VLSI ci

Overview: Represents the first theoretical analysis focused on the Pacific Coast of Colombia.Presents a model of regional democracy and state-building that can be applied to other developing countries.Provides .This book examines the state-building process in Colombia, specifically in the Pacific Coast region. Using the regionally isolated and historically neglected Pacific Coast as a case study, the authors analyze the Colombian nation-building and democratic processes, applying diverse methodology and an interdisciplinary focus.  The early chapters lay the foundation of the text through the

Overview: The first volume of this series dealt with the Basic Principles of Boundary Elements, while the second concentrated on time dependent problems and Volume three on the Computational Aspects of the method. This volume studies the applications of the method to a wide variety of geomechanics problems, most of which are ideally suited for boundary elements demonstrating the potentiality of the technique. Chapter 1 deals with the application of BEM to three dimensional elastody­ namics soil-structure interaction problems. It presents detailed formulations for rigid, massless foundations of

Overview: Allegory in America surveys the history of American allegorical writing from the Puritans through the period of American romanticism to postmodernism. In a series of theoretical chapters the cultural function of allegory is discussed in relation to the mythology of American exceptionalism. Each theoretical chapter is followed by a chapter that analyzes a specific text or group of texts. Allegorical indeterminacy is seen to produce a literary tradition that both represents and subverts the ideals of American orthodoxy.978-0-230-37993-0Series ISSN 2946-8744 Series E-ISSN 2946-8752

Overview: Der modeme Digital-Computer wurde entwickelt, um komplizierte und zeitraubende Berechnungen zu erleichtern und zu beschleunigen. Bei den meisten Anwendungen spielt seine Fähigkeit, grosse Mengen von Informationen zu speichern und wieder zugänglich zu machen, die wichtigste Rolle (und wird als Haupteigenschaft betrachtet); seine Fähigkeit zu rechnen, d.h. zu kalkulieren, Arithmetik auszuführen, ist in vielen Fällen nahezu belanglos. In allen diesen Fällen stellt die grosse Menge an Information, die in irgendeiner Weise verarbeitet werden muss, eine Abstraktion eines Teils der realen W

Overview: The editors are happy to present the twentieth volume in the review series Advances in Nuclear Science and Technology. Lahey and Drew, our first authors, present a concise development of the equations for two-phase flow, essential to the understanding of normal and, even more, accidental behavior in water-cooled reactors. The commitment to the PWR in Europe (now joined by England in this respect) and the aftermath of Chernobyl in the U.S.S.R. put continuing emphasis on the need for good understanding of two-phase phenomena to provide good modelling. The second review, by Downar and S
