Overview: Examines how issues of megacity development, urban form, sustainability, and unsustainability are conceived, how governance processes are influenced by these ideas, and how these processes have in turFor the first time in human history, more than half the world’s population is urban. A fundamental aspect of this transformation has been the emergence of giant cities, or megacities, that present major new challenges. This book examines how issues of megacity development, urban form, sustainability, and unsustainability are conceived, how governance processes are influenced by these ide

Overview: Selected collection of recent research on multi-objective approach to machine learning.Recent developments in evolutionary multi-objective optimization.Applies the concept of Pareto-optimality to mach.Recently, increasing interest has been shown in applying the concept of Pareto-optimality to machine learning, particularly inspired by the successful developments in evolutionary multi-objective optimization. It has been shown that the multi-objective approach to machine learning is particularly successful to improve the performance of the traditional single objective machine learning

Overview: This second volume carries on the excellent work of its predecessor, ex­ tending its scope to other melts and to other techniques. It continues to present first-hand understanding and experience of this difficult and demanding field. There is ever present the trade-off or reconciliation between the novel chemistry of systems not dominated by the mediating influence of a supposedly indifferent solvent and the high temperatures required to effect the fluidity of the system. At the limit, the very high temperatures so increase the rates of all reactions as to dissolve the temporal diffe

Overview: Presents primary data and lessons learned for policy makers.Describes case studies useful as laboratory and field preparation materials.Includes chapters by authors from different continents, appealinThis book critically assesses mobilities across the Mediterranean Basin and explores the implications of changing European relationships in the light of observations of the intersectional formation and evolution of identities, behavior and ideas.

Overview: Enables the reader to develop general principles from which equations of motions may be derived.Highlights the importance of the concept of symmetries as a basis for quantum mechanics.Contains over 12Purpose and Emphasis. Mechanics not only is the oldest branch of physics but was and still is the basis for all of theoretical physics. Quantum mechanics can hardly be understood, perhaps cannot even be formulated, without a good kno- edge of general mechanics. Field theories such as electrodynamics borrow their formal framework and many of their building principles from mechanics. In sh

Overview: Brings together the latest and best work in this rapidly developing field.Provides a cohesive overview of current best-practice and provides stimulus and impetus to the development of the field over t.Much of biology can be understood in terms of demography. It is the demographic processes of birth and death which govern rates of population growth and the rates at which gene frequencies change. The analysis of demographic processes in free-living organisms is, however, far from simple. Scientists from diverse fields in biology and statistics have united to address the challenges by d

Overview: Attempts to delineate the merger between capitalism “and” the media, seen as one single entity.Reaches beyond political economy, communication studies and critical media studies.Explores corporate medThis book argues that media and capitalism no longer exist as separated entities, and posits three reasons why one can no longer exist without the other. Firstly, mass media have become indispensable to capitalism due to the media’s ability to sell the commodities of mass consumerism. Media capitalism also creates pro-capital attitudes among a target population and establishes an ideolog

Overview: Recent advances in reducing Runge and Gibbs phenomena.Difficulties in studying models depending on the highly non-linear behaviour of a system of PDEs.Quasi-interpolation and numerical solution of intThis book contains plenary lectures given at the International Conference on Mathematical and Computational Modeling, Approximation and Simulation, dealing with three very different problems: reduction of Runge and Gibbs phenomena, difficulties arising when studying models that depend on the highly nonlinear behaviour of a system of PDEs, and data fitting with truncated hierarchical B-sp

Overview: Offers an analysis of scientific research from methodological pragmatism as well as from a pluralist methodological approach.Covers three methodological levels of scientific research: basic science, aThis book highlights the existence of a diversity of methods in science, in general, in groups of sciences (natural, social or the artificial), and in individual sciences. This methodological variety is open to a number of consequences, such as the differences in the research according to levels of reality (micro, meso and macro), which leads to multi-scale modelling and to questioning “

Overview: This paper treats a two-echelon inventory system. The higher echelon is a single location reffered to as the depot, which places orders for supply of a single com­ modity. The lower echelon consists of several points, called the retailers, which are supplied by shipments from the depot, and at which random demands for the item occur. Stocks are reviewed and decisions are made periodically. Orders and/or shipments may each require a fixed lead time before reaching their respective desti­ nations. Section II gives a short literature review of distribution research. Section III introduc
