3A607882360.jsonld | A perturbation result for dynamical contact problems | This paper is intended to be a first step towards the continuous dependence of dynamical contact problems on the initial data as well as the uniqueness of a solution. Moreover, it provides the basis for a proof of the convergence of popular time integration schemes as the Newmark method. We study a frictionless dynamical contact problem between both linearly elastic and viscoelastic bodies which is formulated via the Signorini contact conditions. For viscoelastic materials fulfilling the Kelvin-Voigt constitutive law, we find a characterization of the class of problems which satisfy a perturbation result in a non-trivial mix of norms in function space. This characterization is given in the form of a stability condition on the contact stresses at the contact boundaries. Furthermore, we present perturbation results for two well-established approximations of the classical Signorini condition: The Signorini condition formulated in velocities and the model of normal compliance, both satisfying even a sharper version of our stability condition. |

3A378644157.jsonld | Spatial implications of the European Monetary Union | With the beginning of the year 1999, a further important step towards deeper integration of Europe took place: The European Monetary Union (EMU) was put into force. Undoubtedly, this has, beside other effects, also considerable effects on the economic geography of the integrating area. Possible and probable spatial effects of EMU was the motive to establish an international working group within the ARL-DATAR (Délégati-on à l'Aménagement du Territoire et à l'Action Régionale) cooperation agreement in order to shed some light on these effects. The present volume consists of papers having been elaborated by members of the working group. Considerations are made with regard to - consequences for the regions of a changed relationship in which countries being members of the euro-zone stand to each other, - macroeconomic consequences for regions of their being a member of EMU, - effects of the possible concentration of industrial activities in regions and of trends towards specialisation of regions in certain industries, - effects of EMU using a multiregional general equilibrium model, - distinguishing between static and dynamic effects of the Euro. Based on these deliberations recommendations are formulated and spatial orientated policy conclusions are given even though one fear seems to be unfounded: the aim of territorial cohesion in the EU seems not to be touched systematically by the common currency in a negative way. |

3A562086323.jsonld | Practical hydroinformatics : computational intelligence and technological developments in water applications | Hydroinformatics has emerged over the last decade to become a recognised andestablished field of independent research activities within the hydrological and environmentalscience communities. Hydroinformatics is not just an application of Informationand Communications Technologies (ICT) to water resources, hydraulics,hydrology or environment. It strives to provide an amalgamation of water sciencewith modern technologies for the purposes of satisfying social requirements. TheEuropean Geosciences Union (EGU) held its first dedicated session on Hydroinformaticsin 2005 at the Vienna Meeting; that same meeting voted to establish theHydroinformatics Sub-Division and Technical Committee (part of the HydrologicalSciences Division). The aim of that original session was to provide an active forumin which to demonstrate and discuss the integration and appropriate application ofemergent computational technologies in a water modelling context. The initial proposalfor this book arose at that meeting out of a desire to collect together a range ofdifferent contributions from academics and practitioners working in various sectorsacross the field; there were no other published compendiums at that point which attemptedto span the latest set of methods or topics of hydrological interest that werepresented at our meeting. The starting point for the selection of authors was thesession itself. Further contributors were invited to submit papers in order to bolsterparticular sections and provide a representative selection of research across the mainthematic areas: neural networks, fuzzy logic, global and evolutionary optimisation,emerging technologies and model integration.This book is aimed at hydrologists, scientists, students and practitioners interestedin a set of techniques derived largely from artificial and computational intelligenceto solve a range of problems in hydrology. We hope that this book will promotethe field of Hydroinformatics and bridge the gap between theory and practice.We would like to thank the chapter authors for their interesting contributionsand the many reviewers who have helped to make this a useful and high-qualitypublication. We would also like to thank the publication team at Springer for theirefficient services. |
3A1794958940.jsonld | Compositional analysis of probabilistic timed graph transformation systems | The analysis of behavioral models is of high importance for cyber-physical systems, as the systems often encompass complex behavior based on e.g. concurrent components with mutual exclusion or probabilistic failures on demand. The rule-based formalism of probabilistic timed graph transformation systems is a suitable choice when the models representing states of the system can be understood as graphs and timed and probabilistic behavior is important. However, model checking PTGTSs is limited to systems with rather small state spaces. We present an approach for the analysis of large scale systems modeled as probabilistic timed graph transformation systems by systematically decomposing their state spaces into manageable fragments. To obtain qualitative and quantitative analysis results for a large scale system, we verify that results obtained for its fragments serve as overapproximations for the corresponding results of the large scale system. Hence, our approach allows for the detection of violations of qualitative and quantitative safety properties for the large scale system under analysis. We consider a running example in which we model shuttles driving on tracks of a large scale topology and for which we verify that shuttles never collide and are unlikely to execute emergency brakes. In our evaluation, we apply an implementation of our approach to the running example. Die Analyse von Verhaltensmodellen ist für cyber-physikalische Systeme von hoher Bedeutung, da die Systeme häufig komplexes Verhalten umfassen, das z.B. parallele Komponenten mit gegenseitigem Ausschluss oder probabilistischen Fehlern bei Bedarf umfasst. Der regelbasierte Formalismus probabilistischer zeitgesteuerter Graphtransformationssysteme ist eine geeignete Wahl, wenn die Modelle, die Zustände des Systems darstellen, als Graphen verstanden werden können und zeitgesteuertes und probabilistisches Verhalten wichtig ist. Modelchecking von PTGTSs ist jedoch auf Systeme mit relativ kleinen Zustandsräumen beschränkt. Wir präsentieren einen Ansatz zur Analyse von Großsystemen, die als probabilistische zeitgesteuerte Graphtransformationssysteme modelliert wurden, indem ihre Zustandsräume systematisch in überschaubare Fragmente zerlegt werden. Um qualitative und quantitative Analyseergebnisse für ein Großsystem zu erhalten, überprüfen wir, ob die für seine Fragmente erhaltenen Ergebnisse als Überannäherungen für die entsprechenden Ergebnisse des Großsystems dienen. Unser Ansatz ermöglicht es daher, Verstöße gegen qualitative und quantitative Sicherheitseigenschaften für das untersuchte Großsystem zu erkennen. Wir betrachten ein Beispiel, in dem wir Shuttles modellieren, die auf Gleisen einer großen Topologie fahren, und für die wir überprüfen, dass Shuttles niemals kollidieren und wahrscheinlich keine Notbremsungen ausführen. In unserer Auswertung wenden wir eine Implementierung unseres Ansatzes auf das Beispiel an. |
3A656674237.jsonld | Applied reliability | "It's been over 15 years since the publication of the 2nd edition of Applied Reliability. We continue to receive positive feedback from old users, and each year hundreds of engineers, quality specialists, and statisticians discover the book for the first time and become new fans. So why a 3rd edition? There are always new methods and techniques that update and improve upon older methods, but that was not the primary reason we felt the need to write a new edition. In the last 15 years, the ready availability of relatively inexpensive, powerful, statistical software has changed the way statisticians and engineers look at and analyze all kinds of data. Problems in reliability that were once difficult and time consuming for even experts now can be solved with a few well-chosen clicks of a mouse. Additionally, with the quantitative solution often comes a plethora of graphics that aid in understanding and presenting the results. All this power comes with a price, however. Software documentation has had difficulty keeping up with the enhanced functionality added to new releases, especially in specialized areas such as reliability analysis. Also, in some cases different well-known software packages use different methods and output different answers. An analyst needs to know how to use these programs effectively and which methods are the most highly recommended. This information is hard to find for industrial reliability problems"-- "This popular book is an easy-to-use guide that addresses basic descriptive statistics, reliability concepts, the exponential distribution, the Weibull distribution, the lognormal distribution, reliability data plotting, acceleration models, life test data analysis and systems models, and much more. The third edition includes a new chapter on Bayesian reliability analysis and expanded, updated coverage of repairable system modeling. Taking a practical and example-oriented approach to reliability analysis, it also provides detailed illustrations of software implementation throughout using several widely available software packages.

3A614692644.jsonld | Tree rings and natural hazards : a state-of-the-art | "The initial employment of tree rings in natural hazard studies was simply as a dating tool and rarely exploited other environmental information and records of damage contained within the tree. However, these unique, annually resolved, tree-ring records preserve valuable archives of past earth-surface processes on timescales of decades to centuries. As many of these processes are significant natural hazards, understanding their distribution, timing and controls provides valuable information that can assist in the prediction, mitigation and defence against these hazards and their effects on society. Tree Rings and Natural Hazards provides many illustrations of these themes, demonstrating the application of tree rings to studies of snow avalanches, rockfalls, landslides, floods, earthquakes, wildfires and several other processes. Several of the chapters are 'classic studies', others represent recent applications using previously unpublished material. They illustrate the breadth and diverse applications of contemporary dendrogeomorphology and underline the growing potential to expand such studies, possibly leading to the establishment of a range of techniques and approaches that may become standard practice in the analysis of natural hazards in the future."--Publisher's description |

3A376535504.jsonld | Quantum entropy and its use | This book provides a complete overview of quantum entropy theory, from the early days of quantum mechanics up to the most recent developments. It employs mathematical formalism based on operator theory and functional analysis with a goal of creating a comprehensive account of the different entropy concepts, their interrelations and use. Among the ideas discussed are entropy of a quantum state, relative entropy, mutual entropy, entropy of a coarse graining and dynamical entropy. Numerous fundamental properties of quantum information measurement are developed, including the von Neumann entropy of a statistical operator and its limiting normalized version, the entropy rate. Use of quantum- entropy quantities is made in perturbation theory, central limit theorems, thermodynamics of spin systems, entropic uncertainty relations, and optical communication.

3A385120095.jsonld | Fighting unemployment : the limits of free market orthodoxy | With much of Europe plagued by high levels of unemployment, it has become widely accepted that the culprit is labor market rigidity and that the prescription can only be labor market deregulation: lower wages, higher earnings inequality, greater decentralization in bargaining, less generous unemployment benefits, more hiring flexibility, and less job security. Fighting Unemployment critically assesses this free market orthodoxy. With cross-country statistical analyses and country case studies, leading economists from seven North American and European countries contend that this conventional wisdom has greatly exaggerated the extent to which the unemployment problem can be blamed on protective labor market institutions and that the case for dismantling the welfare state to fight unemployment rests more on free market ideology than on the empirical evidence. The larger message of this book is that fundamentally different labor market models - ranging from the 'American Model' to the much more regulated and coordinated Scandinavian systems - are compatible with low unemployment. |

3A279737025.jsonld | The motel in America | "In The Motel in America, John Jakle, Keith Sculle, and Jefferson Rogers take an informative and entertaining look at the history, architecture, and business of motels in the United States. Like Jakle and Sculle's acclaimed The Gas Station in America, this book explores the effect on American culture as citizens became motorists. The new breed of automobile traveler rejected the hotels of the railroad era, which were located in congested downtown areas and lacked adequate parking. Instead, they came to favor the roadside lodgings outside city limits which came to be known as motels, a term first used in Arthur Heineman's Milestone Mo-tel, opened in San Luis Obispo, California, in 1926." "The popularity of motels grew steadily throughout the century, booming after the Second World War and reaching a peak in 1961, when there were some 61,000 motels operating throughout the country, the vast majority of them independently owned. These motels were an integral part of the American landscape, shaping their guests' ideas about modern living, introducing Americans to the consumer novelties of the age: color televisions, automatic coffee makers, shag rugs, even residential swimming pools. By the 1980s, most of the country's 40,000 motel establishments were affiliated with referral and franchise chains, reflecting the traveler's need for uniform quality and the entrepreneur's desire for regional or national recognition."

3A1614929998.jsonld | Translating humour in audiovisual texts | Humour found in audiovisual products is, of course, performative in nature. If we consider instances of humour - any droll moment occurring in today's fare of mixed-genre products as a composite of cognition, emotion, interaction and expression - we see that the verbal code becomes just one component of four equally significant elements. And, as 'expression' is not limited to verbal output alone, humour may of course be created in absence of a verbal code. Translating humour for audiovisuals is not too different from translating verbal humour tout court. What makes humour occurring within audiovisual texts more problematic is the fact that it may be visually anchored; in other words a gag or a joke may pivot on verbal content directed at a specific element that is present within the graphic system of the same text. As the term itself suggests, audiovisuals contain two overlying structures: a visual and an auditory channel each of which contain a series of both verbal and non-verbal elements which inextricably cross-cut one another. The contributors in this collection of essays present a series of case studies from films and video-games exemplifying problems and solutions to audiovisual humour in the dubs and subs in a variety of language combinations |

3A1675975418.jsonld | Squimera : a live, Smalltalk-based IDE for dynamic programming languages | Software development tools that work and behave consistently across different programming languages are helpful for developers, because they do not have to familiarize themselves with new tooling whenever they decide to use a new language. Also, being able to combine multiple programming languages in a program increases reusability, as developers do not have to recreate software frameworks and libraries in the language they develop in and can reuse existing software instead. However, developers often have a broad choice with regard to tools, some of which are designed for only one specific programming language. Various Integrated Development Environments have support for multiple languages, but are usually unable to provide a consistent programming experience due to different features of language runtimes. Furthermore, common mechanisms that allow reuse of software written in other languages usually use the operating system or a network connection as the abstract layer. Tools, however, often cannot support such indirections well and are therefore less useful in debugging scenarios for example. In this report, we present a novel approach that aims to improve the programming experience with regard to working with multiple high-level programming languages. As part of this approach, we reuse the tools of a Smalltalk programming environment for other languages and build a multi-language virtual execution environment which is able to provide the same runtime capabilities for all languages. The prototype system Squimera is an implementation of our approach and demonstrates that it is possible to reuse development tools, so that they behave in the same way across all supported programming languages. In addition, it provides convenient means to reuse and even mix software libraries and frameworks written in different languages without breaking the debugging experience. Programmierwerkzeuge, die verschiedene Programmiersprachen unterstützen und sich konsistent bedienen lassen, sind hilfreich für Softwareentwickler, weil diese sich nicht erst mit neuen Werkzeugen vertraut machen müssen, wenn sie in einer neuen Sprache entwickeln wollen. Außerdem ist es nützlich, verschiedene Programmiersprachen in einer Anwendung kombinieren zu können, da Entwickler dann Softwareframeworks und -bibliotheken nicht in der jeweiligen Sprache nachbauen müssen und stattdessen bestehende Software wiederverwenden können. Dennoch haben Entwickler eine sehr große Auswahl, wenn sie nach Werkzeugen suchen, die teilweise zudem speziell nur für eine Sprache ausgelegt sind. Einige integrierte Entwicklungsumgebungen unterstützen verschiedene Programmiersprachen, können aber häufig keine konsistente Bedienung ihrer Werkzeuge gewährleisten, da die jeweiligen Ausführungsumgebungen der Sprachen zu verschieden sind. Darüber hinaus gibt es bereits Mechansimen, die es erlauben, Programme aus anderen Sprachen in einem Programm wiederzuverwenden. Dazu werden häufig das Betriebssystem oder eine Netzwerkverbindung verwendet. Programmierwerkzeuge unterstützen jedoch häufig eine solche Indirektion nicht und sind deshalb nur eingeschränkt nutzbar bei beispielsweise Debugging Szenarien. In dieser Arbeit stellen wir einen neuartigen Ansatz vor, der das Programmiererlebnis in Bezug auf das Arbeiten mit mehreren dynamischen Programmiersprachen verbessern soll. Dazu verwenden wir die Werkzeuge einer Smalltalk Programmierumgebung wieder und entwickeln eine virtuelle Ausführungsumgebung, die verschiedene Sprachen gleichermaßen unterstützt. Der auf unserem Ansatz basierende Prototyp Squimera demonstriert, dass es möglich ist, Programmierwerkzeuge in der Art wiederzuverwenden, sodass sie sich für verschiedene Programmiersprachen gleich verhalten und somit die Arbeit für Entwickler vereinfachen. Außerdem ermöglicht Squimera einfaches Wiederverwenden und darüber hinaus das Verschmischen von in unterschiedlichen Sprachen geschriebenen Softwarebibliotheken und -frameworks und erlaubt dabei zusätzlich Debugging über mehrere Sprachen hinweg. |

3A176195945X.jsonld | A charging infrastructure network for battery electric trucks in Europe | Facing climate change, The European Union has set ambitious greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets. Within Europe, heavy-duty vehicles (HDV) account for a quarter of greenhouse gas emissions in the transport sector and therefore plays a central role in achieving the climate targets. A potential solution to reduce GHG emissions is the use of battery electric vehicles (BEV). However, the limited range of BEV requires a European public fast-charging network to ensure widespread deployment of BEV. Here, European road freight transport flows are modelled based on the publicly available European Transport policy Information System (ETISplus) dataset. The resulting truck flows serve as input for a charging infrastructure network model. Potential charging stations are located using a coverage-oriented approach and sized according to a queuing model such that an average waiting time of five minutes is guaranteed at each location. Our results show that for a share of 15% BEV in HDV stock and a dense network with charging locations every 50 km, a total of 4,067 charging points at 1,640 locations are required by 2030. In contrast, with a share of 5% BEV and charging locations every 100 km, 1,715 charging points are needed at 812 locations. Our findings provide insights for the design of a public fastcharging network in Europe and thus supports the planning of future infrastructure projects. |

3A773516808.jsonld | Topology of digital images : visual pattern discovery in proximity spaces | "This book carries forward recent work on visual patterns and structures in digital images and introduces a near set-based a topology of digital images. Visual patterns arise naturally in digital images viewed as sets of non-abstract points endowed with some form of proximity (nearness) relation. Proximity relations make it possible to construct uniform topologies on the sets of points that constitute a digital image. In keeping with an interest in gaining an understanding of digital images themselves as a rich source of patterns, this book introduces the basics of digital images from a computer vision perspective. In parallel with a computer vision perspective on digital images, this book also introduces the basics of proximity spaces. Not only the traditional view of spatial proximity relations but also the more recent descriptive proximity relations are considered. The beauty of the descriptive proximity approach is that it is possible to discover visual set patterns among sets that are non-overlapping and non-adjacent spatially. By combining the spatial proximity and descriptive proximity approaches, the search for salient visual patterns in digital images is enriched, deepened and broadened. A generous provision of Matlab and Mathematica scripts are used in this book to lay bare the fabric and essential features of digital images for those who are interested in finding visual patterns in images. The combination of computer vision techniques and topological methods lead to a deep understanding of images."-- |

The implications of this fact are different for different vehicle classes. In any case the properties of both attached viscous and separated flows are of importance in this regard. After a discussion of flight environment and transport phenomena in general, the most important aerothermodynamic phenomena are treated. Thermal surface effects are particularly considered, taking into account both radiation cooling and/or active cooling, for example of inner surfaces. Finally the simulation means of aerothermodynamics are discussed. Computational methods and their modelling problems as well as the problems of ground facility and flight simulation, including the hot experimental technique, are treated.
