Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Modern concordance cosmology is faced with two tasks: Accounting for the abundance of the known constituents, and determining the nature of the unknown components - dark matter and dark energy. The initial conditions which led to structure formation pose another important question. This work studies the potential of weak gravitational lensing to determine the nature of dark energy through its equation of state and its evolution, and to advance our understanding of the distribution of the primordial density fluctuations. We show how a future all-sky tomographic weak lensing survey in conjunction with expected results from CMB anisotropy probes could provide constraints on the dark energy equation of state as well as neutrino and primordial power spectrum parameters. We also examine how the parameter precision depends on the cosmological model used in our calculations, and discuss the significance of our results to survey optimisation. This work should be helpful to astrophysicists working in the field of weak lensing, and to the wider community of observational cosmologists.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -There are competing views in the literature about the influence of the level of geographical and cognitive proximity on the level of innovation. Many scholars agree that geographical proximity has a positive influence on the level of innovation. However, recent publications have criticised the importance of geographical proximity for innovation. They state that the current communication technologies (f.e. internet, e-mail) have the capacity to destroy' the distance between organizations. There is also a debate in the literature about the optimal cognitive distance between organizations. Hence, these competing views in the existing scientific literature ask for in-depth research about these topics. 100 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The aim of a speech emotion recognizer is to produce an estimate of the emotional state of the speaker given a speech fragment as an input. In other words we seek a solution for the tricky problem: given a speech fragment how to know what the speaker is feeling, even if she did not intend us to know that. How would it be possible to construct such recognizers Intuitively, when emotion is experienced, there are physiological changes, for example faster heart rate or higher blood pressure. Some of these physiological changes affect speech production organs and they are in a state different from normal, therefore the speech signal comes out of the mouth distorted as compared to emotionally neutral. Different emotions trigger different physiological changes. Thus, we can record speech in different emotional states, measure acoustic parameters of the wave, form feature vectors from these measurements, divide our data set into the training and the test sets. Train the classifier, say, the decision tree, on the train set and see how well it can predict on the test set. 112 pp. Englisch. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The modeling of mechanical systems can be defined as the mathematical idealization of the physical phenomena controlling it. This implies to define the input variables (geometrical parameters, loading conditions.) and the output variables (displacements, stresses.) allow us to understand the evolution of the mechanical system. Indeed, we cannot admit to use the deterministic models where only the average parameters are considered, because it generally leads to wrong representation of the reality. Hence, it is interesting to introduce the uncertainties in parameter evaluation and to consider their variability. The fundamental issue of probabilistic studies is therefore to take into account the uncertain character and the spatial variability of parameters.The objective of this book is therefore to analyze and to study the probabilistic response of a mechanical system with uncertain parameters. Contrary to other numerical methods, the proposed technique couples the deterministic finite element method and the probabilistic transformation method, to evaluate analytically the probability density function of the response. 96 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The Tin Ore obtained from the mine site is beneficiated into Tin concentrate, middling and Tin tailings. Tin tailings are collected as a waste from the process; this waste consists of about 25% of the total weight of Ore. The Tin tailings are disposed off in a secluded area and become wasted along river banks and farm lands or in mined out holes or they are poured on the top of slopes. Based on economics as well as environmental related issues, enormous efforts have been directed worldwide towards tin tailings management issues. Different avenues of tin tailings utilization are more or less known but none of them have so far proved to be economically viable or commercially feasible. Until now, there is no work on the economic value of this waste for industrials application. The author looks at possibility of using these industrial wastes from the mineral processing industry for the production of refractory materials. The author concluded that this industrial waste has refractory properties that can be compared favouraly with Indian fire clay refractory. Hence, this waste can be employed in refractory bricks production for furnace lining. 56 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Computing platforms such as Windows operating systems traditionally support authorization to protect accesses to well-defined persistent objects, e.g., files. Operating system authorization is usually based on the model of Discretionary Access Control (DAC) and is realized via Access Control Lists (ACLs). These mechanisms do not satisfy the needs of applications that process resources at higher levels of abstraction than the operating system. Therefore, Microsoft introduced a new authorization framework Authorization Manager (AzMan) which is built on the Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) model. This book presents experiences with AzMan and investigates possible relations to other technologies, such as XACML and PCIM. The comparison focuses on AzMan versus XACML and leads to proposing integrated solutions to overcome identified deficiencies of AzMan. Prototype implementations are described and the usage of the technologies is demonstrated. Results are used to assess the viability of the technologies and future evolvement. This book is based on Filip Höfer's diploma thesis, the covered topics are updated and extended. 96 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book describes Radiation Pressure Force on Non-spherical (Disk-type) Dust Particle for Equivalent Radii Aeff from 0.01 mm to 1.0 mm of Water Ice in Comparison with Magnetite and Silicate Using Discrete Dipole Approximation (DDA) Method. Here we present the time dependence of direct and perturbation forces by the Sun on solid bodies with radii from 0.1 m to 100 m in the interplanetary space, caused by the long-scale time variation of solar radiation/solar wind intensities. We found, when the Sun was very young (0.4 Gyr in age), the solar wind pressure exceeded the solar radiation pressure in the size region of solid bodies of interest. Furthermore, it is shown that the perturbation effect by the solar wind (pseudo-Poynting-Robertson (PR) effect) was dominant in that time, compared with the PR effect by radiation. 68 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This work addresses the problem of using seawater for cooling and the associated environmental problems caused by the usage and discharge of biocides. The discharged biocide and its byproducts are toxic to aquatic lives and must be decreased below certain limits on load prior to discharge. The conventional approach has been to add biocide removal units as an end-of-pipe treatment. This work introduces an integrated approach to reducing biocide discharge throughout coordinated strategies for in-plant modifications and biocide removal. Process integration tools are used to reduce heating and cooling requirements through the synthesis of a heat-exchange network. Heat integration among process of hot and cold streams is pursued to an economic extent by reconciling cost reduction in utilities versus any additional capital investment of the heat exchangers. Other strategies include maximization of the temperature range for seawater through the process and optimization of biocide dosage. This new approach has the advantage of providing cost savings while reducing the usage and discharge of biocides. Usefulness of this approach is illustrated on a case study. 96 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Particle-reinforced MMCs have been produced for research at universities roughly since the 1960's. Powder metallurgical production of these materials in experimental or prototype quantities followed several decades later, resulting in the birth of a powder metallurgical production base for these materials. A second impetus behind the development of these materials was in the 1980's of a process for their production using molten metal instead of far more expensive solid powder metal. The major problem in this technology is to obtain sufficient wetting of dispersoid by the liquid metal and to get a homogeneous dispersion of the ceramic particles. Among all the liquid-state processes, stir-casting technology is considered to be the most potential method for engineering application in terms of production capacity and cost efficiency. The author developed a double stir casting method to overcome this problem. The book is divided into five chapters to put the analyses in easily readable manners. The author hope that this book with aids many students, researchers and manufacturer in metal composites development. 112 pp. Englisch.…
