Overview: After the IUTAM Symposium on Optimization in Structural Design held in Warsaw in 1973, it was clear to me that the time had come for organizing into a consistent body of thought the enormous quantity of results obtained in this domain, studied from so many different points of view, with so many different methods, and at so many levels of practical applicability. My colleague and friend Gianantonnio Sacchi from Milan and I met with Professor Prager in Savognin in July 1974, where I submitted to them my first ideas for a treatise on structural optimization: It should cover the whole do

It also addresses fire risk acceptability, the role of fire risk assessment and fire risk management in the fire safety design process, and associated

Overview: Proposes several secure schemes to address security challenges.Provides extensive experiments and evaluates the proposed schemes using real-world data.Shows how ADS-B data links can greatly enhance sa.This book proposes secure schemes to address security challenges in secure automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast systems (ADS-B) from five different angles. First, the authors examine encryption schemes applied to the ADS-B environment for protecting messages confidentiality. Second, they propose an ADS-B broadcast authentication scheme with batch verification by employing an ident

Overview: Addresses the secure cooperative control problems of the networked robotic systems.Provides comprehensive and systematic secure control design methods for the unknown DoS attack signals.Offers secure .As one of the core equipments and actuators, robotic technology has attracted much attention and has made great progress. However, a single robotic system is often unable to handle complex tasks due to limitations in sensors, microprocessors, actuators, and the ability to handle complex situations. With the development of distributed control and microprocessing technology, networked rob

Overview: Safety-critical systems, in the sense of software-based systems used in safety­ critical applications, are ‘high-tech‘. They are products of modern technology. Their effective, efficient and safe functioning depends not only on the devel­ opment of the right technologies but also on the right use of them. The safety of a system may be compromised not only by faults in the system but also by the use in the first place of an unreliable, unsafe, or unproved technology in its development. The key to the development and use of both technologies and systems is the human being. Until recent

Overview: Nominated as an outstanding Ph.D. thesis by the The University of Adelaide, Adelaide, Australia.South Australian nominee for the 2018 Bragg Gold Medal for Excellence in Physics.First presentation of a.Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) describes the interactions between elementary quarks and gluons as they compose the nucleons at the heart of atomic structure. The interactions give rise to complexity that can only be examined via numerical simulations on supercomputers. This work provides an introduction to the numerical simulations of lattice QCD and establishes new formalisms relevant to

Overview: Muss man eine Situation verstanden haben, um in ihr moralisch handeln zu können? Dieser Frage widmet sich der Autor mit Bezug auf Maschinen, die mit Künstlicher Intelligenz betrieben werden, jedoch die Probleme, die sie lösen, nicht verstehen: Reinforcement-Learning-Agenten. Aktuell werden viele Konzepte im Kontext der Künstlichen Intelligenz genutzt, hinter denen eine lange Entwicklungsgeschichte steht. Diese Konzepte werden zunächst historisch und systematisch aufgearbeitet bzw. eingeordnet. Der Fokus liegt allerdings auf den rezenten Ansätzen zur Umsetzung Künstlicher Intelligenz,

Overview: The previous volumes in this series on soft tissue sarcomas highlighted the importance of the multidisciplinary approach to treatment, and this focus is continued in the present volume. Proper diagnosis and staging remain the cornerstone of the treatment strategy. Sophisticated histopathology tech­ niques and growing consensus on grading systems have further increased the importance of the histopathologist in providing estimates of patient prognosis as well as in providing data for planning the treatment strategy. The use of cytogenetics in this field is rapidly increasing and might

Overview: Introduces initiatives from European countries to implement the SDGs.Showcases a variety of experiences from European nations in pursuing sustainability.Outlines European-based initiatives replicable .This volume describes the thinking on sustainable development and a variety of initiatives across Europe, illustrating regional efforts to foster sustainable communities and ecological and social innovation. It contains various contributions which showcase examples of thinking, economic and social structures and in consumption and production patterns needed, to implement the SDGs..This

Overview: A collection of essays focused largely on the 19th century when alternative medicine as opposed to orthodox medicine was not accepted as "professional". Historians in this book explore the dissent which arose in various local and national contexts.978-1-349-19606-7Series ISSN 2633-5964 Series E-ISSN 2633-5972

Overview: Stratified fluids whose densities, sound speeds and other parameters are functions of a single depth coordinate occur widely in nature. Indeed, the earth‘s gravitational field imposes a stratification on its atmosphere, oceans and lakes. It is well known that their stratification has a profound effect on the propagation of sound in these fluids. The most striking effect is probably the occurrence of acoustic ducts, due to minima of the sound speed, that can trap sound waves and cause them to propagate hori­ zontally. The reflection, transmission and distortion of sonar signals by aco

Overview: Includes cutting-edge methods and protocols.Provides step-by-step detail essential for reproducible results.Contains key notes and implementation advice from the experts.Includes supplementary materia.Interest in a specialized microenvironment or “niche” regulating hemopoietic stem cell function has been steadily growing since the idea was first proposed by Ray Schofield over three decades ago. This growing interest, as well as more recently the interest in cellular-molecular-biochemical characterization of not only the hemopoietic stem cell niche but the niches for other stem cells,

Overview: Statistik lernen an konkreten FällenVorwort Bei vielen Studierenden der Betriebswirtschaftslehre erfreut sich die Statistik keiner besonderen Beliebtheit. Teilweise scheint dieses Gebiet als echtes "Problemfach" erlebt zu werden. Liegt das an mangelnden mathematischen Vorkenntnissen oder ist die Materie tatsächlich - vielleicht auch auf grund ihrer von Studierenden so empfundenen Abstraktheit - so schwer verständlich? Könnte es sein, daß in den Anfangssemestern der spätere Nutzen der Statistik noch nicht nachvollzogen werden kann und dadurch Lembarrieren entstehen? Ist vielleicht die

Overview: Includes supplementary material: Salomon Maimon (1753-1800), one of the most fascinating characters of eighteenth-century intellectual history, came from a traditional orthodox Jewish community in Eastern Europe to Berlin to seek Enlightenment. Maimon remained an outsider: an ‘Ostjude‘ among the enlightened Jews in Berlin, a freethinker among observant Jews and a Jew among the non-Jews. His autobiography became a classic of autobiographical literature of the Enlightenment. His ‘inter-cultural‘ experience is reflected in his philosophy. Indebted to the Maimonidean as well as to the mo
