Overview: In this book, fifteen prominent scholars of the economy, business, and technology argue that technical change can fruitfully be interpreted as an institutionally structured learning process. These essays show that the analysis of knowledge-generating institutions - including firms, industries, patenting systems, and occupations - provides important insights into the pace, direction, and persistence of technological change. The authors use these insights to both reshape economic theory and reinterpret the economic development of Britain, the USA, Germany and Japan.978-1-349-22857-7978

Overview: Nominated as an outstanding PhD thesis by the University of Manchester, UK.Develops a technique for creating shorter electron bunches for ultrafast pump-probe spectroscopy.Presents a scheme for generaThis book elaborates on the acceleration of charged particles with ultrafast terahertz electromagnetic radiation. It paves the way for new, and improves many aspects of current, accelerator applications. These include providing shorter electron bunches for ultrafast time-resolved pump-probe spectroscopy, enabling complex longitudinal profiles to be imparted onto charged particle bunches

Overview: Provides an overview of research in the area of language comprehensionLanguage comprehension and production is a uniquely human capability. We know little about the evolution of language as a human trait, possibly because our direct ancestors lived several million years ago. This fact certainly impedes the desirable advances in the biological basis of any theory of language evolution. Our knowledge about language as an existing species-specific biological sys­ tem, however, has advanced dramatically over the last two decades. New experi­ mental techniques have allowed the investigati

Overview: This book coherently summarizes the spectacular progress achieved in the areas of approximation algorithms and combinatorial optimization during the last few years..Includes supplementary material: During the last few years, we have seen quite spectacular progress in the area of approximation algorithms: for several fundamental optimization problems we now actually know matching upper and lower bounds for their approximability. This textbook-like tutorial is a coherent and essentially self-contained presentation of the enormous recent progress facilitated by the interplay between the

Overview: Visual arts depend on light to communicate, and an understanding of the physical properties of light and color should enhance the communication for both the artist and the viewer..This book is intended for students in the visual arts and for others with an interest in art, but with no prior knowledge of physics. It presents the science of light - that is, the science behind what and how we see. The approach emphasizes phenomena rather than mathematical theories and the joy of discovery rather than the drudgery of derivations - the opposite of "heavy science"..The text includes numero

Overview: This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Logic Programming and Nonmonotonic Reasoning, LPNMR 2019, held in Philadelphia, PA, USA, in June 2019..The 22 full papers and 3 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 39 submissions..

Overview: Automatic transformation of a sequential program into aparallel form is a subject that presents a great intellectualchallenge and promises a great practical award. There is a tremendousinvestment in existing sequential programs, and scientists andengineers continue to write their application programs in sequentiallanguages (primarily in Fortran). The demand for higher speedupsincreases. The job of a restructuring compiler is to discover thedependence structure and the characteristics of the given machine.Much attention has been focused on the Fortran.do. loop. This iswhere one expect
