Overview: Develops a new method for ranking economies in terms of their levels of development.Obtains robust rankings but has the disadvantage of the possibility (though not the inevitability) of ranking failurThis book discusses how to measure the level of development of an economy, particularly, the task of ranking economies in terms of their development. In this context, development is defined as an increase in people’s level of wellbeing. The book emphasises that wellbeing is a multidimensional concept, and that it is important to ask how equitably the fruits of development are distributed

Overview: Introduces key concepts of Mechanistic Data Science for decision making and problem solving.Demonstrates innovative solutions of engineering problems by combining data science and mechanistic knowledg.This book introduces Mechanistic Data Science (MDS) as a structured methodology for combining data science tools with mathematical scientific principles (i.e., “mechanistic” principles) to solve intractable problems.  Traditional data science methodologies require copious quantities of data to show a reliable pattern, but the amount of required data can be greatly reduced by considering

Overview: At the beginning of the twentieth century, engineers and technologists would have recognized the importance of adhesion in two main aspects: First, in the display of friction between surfaces — at the time a topic of growing importance to engineers; the second in crafts requiring the joining of materials — principally wood—to form engineering structures. While physical scientists would have admitted the adhesive properties of glues, gels, and certain pastes, they regarded them as materials of uncertain formulation, too impure to be amenable to precise experiment. Biological scientist

Overview: This book investigates the classical model of cooperative games with transfer­ able utility (TU-games) and models in which the players have the possibility to cooperate partially, namely fuzzy and multichoice games. In a crisp game the agents are either fully involved or not involved at all in cooperation with some other agents, while in a fuzzy game players are allowed to cooperate with infinitely many different participation levels, varying from non-cooperation to full cooperation. A multichoice game describes an intermediate case in which each player may have a fixed number of act

Overview: The latest state of simulation techniques to model plasticity and fracture in crystalline materials on the nano- and microscale is presented. Discrete dislocation mechanics and the neighbouring fields molecular dynamics and crystal plasticity are central parts. The physical phenomena, the theoretical basics, their mathematical description and the simulation techniques are introduced and important problems from the formation of dislocation structures to fatigue and fracture from the nano- to microscale as well as it’s impact on the macro behaviour are considered.978-3-7091-1665-4978-3

Overview: In diesem Buch wird die Multisensordatenverarbeitung bei Roboteranwendungen umfassend behandelt. Zunächst werden die wesentlichen Grundlagen der Informationsverarbeitung von Sensordaten dargestellt. In einem speziellen Kapitel werden die Besonderheiten der Montage mit Industrierobotern und die Anforderungen an ein Multisensorensystem betrachtet. Darauf aufbauend wird ein hierarchisches Konzept zur Überwachung und Diagnose von Roboteraktionen erarbeitet. Die Ebenen des Systems werden in bezug auf benötigtes Wissen, die Art der Verarbeitung und die Struktur der Daten untersucht. Je höh

Overview: This book had its nucleus in some lectures given by one of us (J. O’M. B. ) in a course on electrochemistry to students of energy conversion at the University of Pennsyl- nia. It was there that he met a number of people trained in chemistry, physics, biology, metallurgy, and materials science, all of whom wanted to know something about electrochemistry. The concept of writing a book about electrochemistry which could be understood by people with very varied backgrounds was thereby engendered. The lectures were recorded and written up by Dr. Klaus Muller as a 293-page manuscript. At a

Overview: Ein Data Warehouse ist in der betrieblichen Praxis häufigen Änderungen unterworfen. Einerseits kann sich die Dimensionsstruktur im Zeitablauf ändern, andererseits erweist sich der Informationsbedarf eines Entscheidungsträgers häufig als unstetig und dynamisch. Bei einer nachträglichen Beurteilung von Entscheidungssituationen ist jedoch die zum Entscheidungszeitpunkt vorherrschende Informationslage von elementarer Bedeutung...Steffen Stock erweitert das Data-Warehouse-Konzept um das Konzept der zeitbezogenen Daten, damit die zu jedem Zeitpunkt verfügbaren Daten und Klassifikationshier
