Overview: The book deals with urban reactivation, a particular form of regeneration intervention which in addition to the physical-spatial dimension of the places also—and above all—considers the social and relational dynamics that the intervention is able to activate. In this sense, the concept of activation (or reactivation) emphasizes the act of putting something into or back into operation, whether it concerns the material components of a container (a building or a place) or the immaterial components of a content (a need, or a function), starting from the exploitation of opportunities that

Overview: This collection of multi-authored essays not only refashions and revises critical understandings of the early modern dramatist Ben Jonson and his canon of work, but is also self-reflexive about the process. It includes original essays by both established and emergent Jonson scholars, and employs materialist, feminist and queer theory in the production of its readings of Jonsonian playtexts and masques, familiar and otherwise. It is intended to encourage new approaches by students to this central figure from the Renaissance.978-1-349-26716-3978-1-349-26714-9

ROBOT2023 is part of a series of conferences that are jointly organized by Sociedade Portuguesa de Robótica (SPR) / Portuguese Society for Robotics and by Sociedad Española para la Investigación y Desarrollo en Robóti

Overview: The game-theoretic analysis of rights forms a rapidly growingfield of study to which this book makes an important contribution. VanHees combines the game-theoretic approach with the results and toolsfrom logic, in particular from the logic of norms. The resultingsynthesis between logic and game theory provides a firm foundation forthe game-theoretic approach. The analysis shows how different types ofright are related to the strategic opportunities of individuals and ofgroups of individuals. Furthermore, the book makes an importantcontribution to the theory of liberalism, in particula

Overview: Presents Taguchi method’s alternative experimental methodology.Describes new parametric ALT methods for reliability quantitative test specifications (RQ).Suggests a variety of case studies on the mech.This book describes basic reliability concepts – parametric ALT plan, failure mechanism and design, and reliability testing with acceleration factor and sample size equation. A generalized life-stress failure model with a new effort concept has been derived and recommended to calculate the acceleration factor of the mechanical system. The new sample size equation with the acceleration f

Overview: First consolidated monograph on reactive Kripke semantics.Suitable for researchers in mathematical logic.First presents detailed theory of reactive Kripke semantics then applications in a variety of a.This text offers an extension to the traditional Kripke semantics for non-classical logics by adding the notion of reactivity. Reactive Kripke models change their accessibility relation as we progress in the evaluation process of formulas in the model. This feature makes the reactive Kripke semantics strictly stronger and more applicable than the traditional one. Here we investigate the

Overview: Presents the development of economic thinking on capitalism in historical perspective.Contrasts and analyses the work of nine renowned economists in the history of economic thought.Argues for periodic.This book explores the ideas of nine renowned economists to present the evolution of economic thought on the development and trajectory of capitalism as a system. The author shows how this diverse group of thinkers are linked by their thinking on the future role of capitalism in society and fleshes out the influences informing each economist’s work. With chapters dedicated to Karl Marx,

Overview: Discusses the virtues and problems of the constitutionalisation of rational lawmaking.Analyzes the judicial review of the quality of the legislative method.Focuses on the German constitutional case-la.This book explores the constitutional, legally binding dimension to legisprudence in the light of the German Federal Constitutional Court´s approach to rational lawmaking. Over the last decades this court has been remarkably active in applying legisprudential criteria and standards when reviewing parliamentary laws. It has thus supplied observers with a unique material to analyse the la

Overview: Provides an overview of retirement migration from the United States and Canada to Latin America.Describes the impact of retirement migration on local communities.Identifies the impact of governmental .This book provides a comprehensive overview of a growing phenomenon in migration: retired Americans moving to Latin America. Through in-depth profiles of two of the most popular destinations – Cuenca, Ecuador and San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, the book provides a unique commentary on the social forces shaping this new diaspora and its impact on the settings to which retirees relocate. 

Overview: At first only elementary functions were studied in mathematical analysis. Then new functions were introduced to evaluate integrals. They were named special functions: integral sine, logarithms, the exponential function, the prob­ ability integral and so on. Elliptic integrals proved to be the most important. They are connected with rectification of arcs of certain curves. The remarkable idea of Abel to replace these integrals by the corresponding inverse functions led to the creation of the theory of elliptic functions. They are doubly periodic functions of a complex variable. This p
