Fighting climate change is the ultimate societal challenge, and the difficulty is not just in the wrenching adjustments required to cut greenhouse emissions and to respond to change already under way. A second and equally important difficulty is ensuring widespread public understanding of the natural and social science. This understanding is essential for an effective risk management strategy at a planetary scale. The scientific, economic, and policy aspects of climate change are already a challenge to communicate, without factoring in the distractions and deflections from organized programs of misinformation and denial.Here, four scholars, each with decades of research on the climate threat, take on the task of explaining our current understanding of the climate threat and what can be done about it, in lay language-importantly, without losing critical aspects of the natural and social science. In a series of essays, published during the 2020 presidential election, the COVID pandemic, and through the fall of 2021, they explain the essential components of the challenge, countering the forces of distrust of the science and opposition to a vigorous national response. Each of the essays provides an opportunity to learn about a particular aspect of climate science and policy within the complex context of current events. The overall volume is more than the sum of its individual articles. Proceeding each essay is an explanation of the context in which it was written, followed by observation of what has happened since its first publication. In addition to its discussion of topical issues in modern climate science, the book also explores science communication to a broad audience. Its authors are not only scientists - they are also teachers, using current events to teach when people are listening. For preservingEarth's planetary life support system, science and teaching are essential. Advancing both is an unending task. 216 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book provides a detailed biographical account of the industrious late nineteenth-century astronomer William Frederick Denning who, in later life, rose to be a celebrated public figure and a highly respected amateur astronomer. The book also examines Denning's many contributions tothe astronomy of his time.As an indomitable promotor of amateur astronomy, Denning was closely involved in the formation of the short-lived, but historically pivotal, Observational Astronomy Society (OAS) in 1869. Readers will learn about the origins and the observational programs initiated by the OAS, and the author also presents a series of biographical sketches of its most industrious members. Furthermore, by examining Denning's letters and publications, the author shows how he helped to nurture the growth of amateur astronomy, also teaching amateur observers how to make their efforts scientifically useful.A stalwart observer and enthusiast himself, Denning was a key player in the development of meteor astronomy in England, culminating in his being invited, in 1922, to be the first President of Commission 22 (meteors, meteorites and interplanetary dust) of the newly formed International Astronomical Union. The text follows the development and rapid growth of meteor astronomy during the nineteenth century, focusing upon the key observations and important theoretical advances. In addition, it pays tribute to pioneering practitioners, who, along with Denning, set out to unravel the story and secrets of the shooting stars.While not an openly forthright or strident figure, Denning, at the height of his career, became embroiled in two public and controversial issues. The first related to his pseudo-scientific theory of optical blurring, and his belief that large-aperture telescopes performed less efficiently than smaller-aperture telescopes when used in the study of planetary disks. The second concerned the mysterious issue of stationary meteor shower radiants-an apparent observational reduction that was completely at odds with both the standard theories of gravitational dynamics and the generally accepted notion of meteoroid stream structure. The book explores these two controversies and uses them to examine Denning's outlook on scientific methodology. 348 pp. Englisch.

Taken together, the maps tell a story about the physical world; about the impact our species is having on the world; and about how people live in the world - or at least how we lived immediately before the emergence of Covid-19. The maps lie. All maps lie. But the origins of the deceptions are explained, the data sources are signposted and referenced, and the readers are shown how to create their own maps using freely available software. The reader is thus armed with the tools needed to explore local, national or world data - on topics ranging from science to society; environment to entertainment; wealth to wellbeing - a valuable skill in an age when certain politicians are happy to refer to 'alternative facts' and media outlets deliver data visualizations that sometimes mislead as much as inform. 232 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This open access book provides a detailed exploration of the phase behaviour of, and interfacial properties in, complex colloidal mixtures (e.g., clay, milk, blood). Insights into colloids have been at the heart of many innovations in different industries. The big question underlying these innovations is how can colloidal systems be formulated and designed towards the desired properties To do this, the forces between the colloidal particles need to be controlled. Adding depletants (non-adsorbing polymers or small colloids) is key to controlling the attractive interactions. Colloids and the Depletion Interaction provides the qualitative insights and quantitative tools to understand and predict such forces in colloidal dispersions. It offers a concise introduction to the history and fundamentals of the depletion interaction in, and phase behaviour of, colloidal dispersions.Why does adding polymers lead to attractive forces between colloidal particles What determines the phase stability of multi-component colloidal systems These include colloid-polymer mixtures, binary colloidal mixtures, and anisotropic particles such as clay platelets, cubes and rod-like viruses. Conceptual explanations are accompanied by experimental and computer simulation results throughout. Illustrations of depletion effects in colloid science, biology and technology demonstrate its wider significance. The concluding outlook provides the scope of challenges and possibilities in this exciting field of science. This second updated and enlarged edition contains 12 Chapters. It is an ideal book for advanced undergraduates and graduate students in physical chemistry, chemical engineering and soft matter physics. Besides providing a fundamental understanding of depletion interactions in colloidal mixtures, it gives background information on colloidal stability and phase behaviour in general. For experienced scientists and engineers working on mixtures of colloids and non-adsorbing (bio)polymers or colloidal particles, this book serves as a reference for understanding depletion interactions in systems of their specific interest. 408 pp. Englisch.

The problematic use of technologies like smartphones threatens our autonomy in a variety of ways, and critics have only begun to appreciate the vast scope of this problem. In the last decade, we have seen a flurry of books making ¿self-help¿ arguments about how we could live happier, more fulfilling lives if we were less addicted to our phones. But none of these authors see this issue as one involving a moral duty to protect our autonomy. 296 pp. Englisch.

Aber sie hat auch ihre Wurzeln in dem, was rechnerisch machbar ist.In diesem einzigartigen Lehrbuch werden die Theoreme der Mathematik gegen die Machbarkeit von Berechnungen abgewogen. Kryptografie ist etwas, das man tatsächlich 'macht', kein mathematisches Spiel, über das man Theoreme beweist. Es gibt tiefgründige Mathematik; es gibt einige Theoreme, die bewiesen werden müssen; und es besteht die Notwendigkeit, die brillante Arbeit derjenigen anzuerkennen, die sich auf die Theorie konzentrieren. Auf der Ebene eines Grundstudiums sollte der Schwerpunkt jedoch zunächst darauf liegen, die Algorithmen zu kennen und zu verstehen und zu wissen, wie sie zu implementieren sind, und sich auch bewusst zu machen, dass die Algorithmen sorgfältig implementiert werden müssen, um die 'einfachen' Wege zum Brechen der Kryptografie zu vermeiden. Dieser Text deckt die algorithmischen Grundlagen ab und wird durch Kernmathematik und Arithmetik ergänzt. 324 pp. Deutsch.

The differing motives of the public and the private sector are not conducive to partnership that leads to optimal outcomes. PPS is offered to practitioners and academics as a solution to failures of PPPs by following the public stewardship tenets of fiduciary responsibility and advancing the public interest while factoring in the additional elements of the private sector. The public values of transparency, accountability, responsibility, responsiveness, efficiency, effectiveness, equity, diversity, inclusion, fairness, and security, among others, can be shared in success between the public and private partners. By establishing shared values aligning with each stakeholder's measures for success, it is possible to devise value propositions for stakeholder decision making that supports inter-organizational strategy, operations, tactics, goals, and objectives. PPS practices can further ensue as the public-private steward utilizes tools of expertise and organizational capacity. The book provides seven portraits of practitioners in the practice of PPS to assist PPP stakeholders achieve VFM. PPS is illustrated using examples in the Department of Navy (DON) and Department of Defense (DOD). 188 pp. Englisch.

Es soll die Leserinnen und Leser dazu inspirieren, sich für den sozialen Wandel zu engagieren. Ziel ist es, die Ursachen und Folgen sowie den Mehrwert eines integrativen sozialen Wandels greifbar zu machen. Anhand von Geschichten aus dem wirklichen Leben, die sich auf die Kraft des Menschen stützen, um durch Beispiele zu inspirieren, zeigt BeingChange, dass 'Zweck für Macht' keine Plattitüde ist, sondern ein Prinzip, das sowohl das subjektive Wohlbefinden als auch den sozialen Fortschritt begünstigt. Die ausgewählten formellen und informellen Akteure des Wandels verdeutlichen, warum Sinn der Unterton echter Befähigung und die wichtigste Zutat für nachhaltige Entwicklung ist. Das Ziel, das mit diesen Geschichten verfolgt wird, ist ein zweifaches: 1) zu zeigen, dass es unabhängig davon, WER und WO man ist und was man hat, möglich ist, seine lebenslangen Bestrebungen und sein tägliches Handeln in Einklang zu bringen, und 2) die Leserzu inspirieren, ihre Suche nach Sinn zu beginnen (oder zu beschleunigen), indem sie herausfinden und verfolgen, was ihnen am wichtigsten ist. Auf der ganzen Welt wächst ein Netzwerk von gleichgesinnten Denkern und Machern, die durch die gemeinsame Überzeugung verbunden sind, dass die Welt nicht als gegeben hingenommen werden darf. Jeder ist willkommen, seine Perspektive von passiv zu aktiv zu ändern und sich anzuschließen. 192 pp. Deutsch.

Different thinking styles are needed throughout the founding journey. Archetypes are deeply engrained templates in the collective unconscious and can be used to reveal the hidden aspects of social interactions within teams. This book employs an archetypical personality test to uncover the eight most significant team roles needed in a startup: the leader, the mentor, the artist, the friend, the hero, the femme fatale, the rebel and the manager. The artist, for example, always finds unconventional solutions, the femme fatale attracts support for the idea, and the hero is undaunted in the face of setbacks. Archetypical roles can manifest in individuals or at the group level, and they can and should change throughout the journey. With the included personality test, this book offers entrepreneurs, investors and mentors alike a tool to improve the interpersonal processes in startup teams. 248 pp. Englisch.

It examines how these developments have influenced the motivations and opportunities to commit organized crime. The volume not only focuses on illegal activities in illegal markets, such as drug and human trafficking, but also addresses organized crime and deviance in various legitimate industries. The contributions were presented at seminars of the Centre for Information and Research on Organized Crime (CIROC), and will be of particular interest to organized crime scholars and researchers, as well as advanced students of criminology across the world. 252 pp. Englisch.

Internet users increasingly rely on wireless access links for diverse tasks such as web browsing, video conferencing, interactive games, and data sharing. Irrespective of how they access the Internet, they expect good performance and a high quality of experience. Unfortunately, wireless access networks are much more challenging to build than wired networks. In wired networks, signals used for communication are contained in a carefully engineered transmission medium. In contrast, wireless signals travel in our physical environment, where the presence of obstacles, interference, and mobility can affect communication. In addition, network performance can differ significantly across physical environments. As a result, the performance of wireless links is often lower and less predictable than that of wired links. The author structured the book according to the layers in the Internet protocol stack, similar to traditional network books. However, rather than presenting a general description of each layer, the focus is on wireless networks and how they differ from wired networks. 136 pp. Englisch.

It includes the main principles of the transistors operation, modeling and applications. Fundamentals about transport mechanisms in a-Si:H TFTs and the associated electronic properties are introduced and extended to design examples and strategies to build reliable, large-area, performance optimized circuits. The book also reviews the effect of the amorphous silicon nature and how it impacts the transistors properties and their relevant applications. Fundamentals are made as simple as possible to be easily grasped as they cover everything expected to be important for an easy understanding of the introduced concepts. The author's approach is geared toward undergraduate and graduate students, but the content is also appropriate for circuit simulator developers, integrated circuit designers and manufacturers, as well as everyone engaged in work on large area integrated circuit technologies and photovoltaics. 148 pp. Englisch.

They address the question of what doing science means to them, and describe attitudes and working practices that have proved effective and rewarding. The book is aimed in particular at young people who are attracted by science or already undertaking undergraduate studies, and who are considering making science their long-term profession. It will also be helpful and revealing to early-career scientists who are searching for their own best route to success. The book serves as a platform for experienced scientists to describe their original inclination, how that subjective disposition found its expression in their way of doing science, whether their expectations were met, and what achievements they can claim. But it is not restricted to success: contributors also share details of the limitations and failures they have encountered. Last but not least they describe how they see science now, how they think it will be in the near future, and what advice they would give to the their much younger colleagues. Readers will appreciate the diversity of the individual paths shaped by different education, motivation, ambition, inclination, intuition, feeling, belief and eligibility. At the same time the stories confirm that science relies on a translation of this subjective level into an objective level, one that is shared and accepted by the international scientific community, and whose results are produced with a commonly accepted and fully rational scientific method of investigation. 332 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book introduces optimal control problems for large families of deterministic and stochastic systems with discrete or continuous time parameter. These families include most of the systems studied in many disciplines, including Economics, Engineering, Operations Research, and Management Science, among many others.The main objective is to give a concise, systematic, and reasonably self contained presentation of some key topics in optimal control theory. To this end, most of the analyses are based on the dynamic programming (DP) technique. This technique is applicable to almost all control problems that appear in theory and applications. They include, for instance, finite and infinite horizon control problems in which the underlying dynamic system follows either a deterministic or stochastic difference or differential equation. In the infinite horizon case, it also uses DP to study undiscounted problems, such as the ergodic or long-run average cost.After a general introduction to control problems, the book covers the topic dividing into four parts with different dynamical systems: control of discrete-time deterministic systems, discrete-time stochastic systems, ordinary differential equations, and finally a general continuous-time MCP with applications for stochastic differential equations.The first and second part should be accessible to undergraduate students with some knowledge of elementary calculus, linear algebra, and some concepts from probability theory (random variables, expectations, and so forth). Whereas the third and fourth part would be appropriate for advanced undergraduates or graduate students who have a working knowledge of mathematical analysis (derivatives, integrals, .) and stochastic processes. 292 pp. Englisch.
