Overview: While secondary texts on Paul Virilio typically see no way out of the tempo- and techno-dystopia he articulates, Occupy Time engages the events of Occupy Wall Street to fix attention on what such readings circumvent: Virilio‘s elusive theory of resistance.978-1-137-27559-2

Overview: Among the many techniques for designing linear multivariable analogue controllers, the two most popular optimal ones are H2 and H-infinity optimization. The fact that most new industrial controllers are digital provides strong motivation for adapting or extending these techniques to digital control systems. This book, now available as a corrected reprint, attempts to do so. Part I presents two indirect methods of sampled-data controller design: These approaches include approximations to a real problem, which involves an analogue plant, continuous-time performance specifications, and

Overview: Contributed chapters cover statistical analysis, adaptive interventions and real-world implementation examples.Makes formal optimization of behavioral and biobehavioral interventions easy to implement.Behavioral, biobehavioral, and biomedical interventions are programs with the objective of improving and maintaining human health and well-being, broadly defined, in individuals, families, schools, organizations, or communities.  These interventions may be aimed at, for example, preventing or treating disease, promoting physical and mental health, preventing violence, or improving acade

Overview: This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of 13 international workshops held as part of OTM 2008 in Monterrey, Mexico, in November 2008.

Overview: Explains the current state of disk-oscillation theory, providing a potentially important tool to accurately determine spins of black hole sources in the universe.Clarifies our current understanding ofThis book presents the current state of research on disk oscillation theory, focusing on relativistic disks and tidally deformed disks. Since the launch of the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) in 1996, many high-frequency quasiperiodic oscillations (HFQPOs) have been observed in X-ray binaries. Subsequently, similar quasi-periodic oscillations have been found in such relativistic objec

Overview: Recent research on Collective Intelligence.Results the in augural Symposium on Collective Intelligence (COLLIN 2010) held in Hagen, Germany.Written by leading experts in the fieldWelcome to the proceedings of the inaugural Symposium on Collective Intelligence (COLLIN 2010). This was the first of a new series of events that will evolve over the coming years, and we were happy to hold the event in Hagen where the idea for this symposium was born. The participants visited Hagen in April, with excellent opportunities to get rain, wind and sun. Collective intelligence denotes a phenomenon

Overview: Beginning with the key changes brought about in the economy by advanced technology and organisational and institutional innovations, the author elucidates their impact on industrial systems, accumulation, firms and the processes of European integration. This approach enables the reader to establish the links in the conceptual jungle to real processes and to chart clearly, by eliminating chaos and chance factors, the interlocking grid of political destabilization and economic marginalization that the advance of capitalist globalization has introduced in all countries.978-0-333-93073-1

Overview: Presents original studies and results from a cooperation between France and Japan.Includes a broad range of studies, from environmental surveys to management considerations and integrated approaches.DThis book documents the effects of natural hazards on coastal ecosystems in detail. The sea is an indispensable component of the Earth system, and human societies obtain many goods and services from the marine environment. Global warming threatens marine ecosystems through seawater temperature rise, acidification, sea-level rise and the increased frequency of severe storms. The repeated

Overview: Multi-disciplinary approaches including hydrogeological, environmental, (bio)technological and management aspects of shared groundwater resources integrating social, economic and political dimensions .Forty percent of the world’s population depends upon increasingly scarce and shared water resources. This situation is critical at both international and national levels not only for socio-economic development, but also for the regional stability. The intensive use of groundwater for irrigation and water supply is adding pressures to scarce water resources and the environment through ov

Overview: Enlarged and revised 3rd edition of a successful adopted textbook.With a clear part and chapter structure for easier access for students.Covers observational astrophysics over the entire electromagnet.,This is the updated, widely revised, restructured and expanded third edition of Léna et al.‘s successful work Observational Astrophysics. It presents a synthesis on tools and methods of observational astrophysics of the early 21st century.
