Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This open access book examines the EU's and Russia's policies in Eastern Europe and the South Caucasus through the prism of hegemony, a concept that it applies to both regional actors. The study cross fertilises the literatures on the EU neighbourhood policy, Russia's foreign policy, and the scholarship on power in international relations to arrive at an innovative conceptualisation of the mechanisms of hegemonic power. The comparative lens of the analysis leads to novel findings that advance our understanding of the EU's and Russia's behaviour in the EU's Eastern neighbourhood. In this book, the existing, separate theorisations are subsumed under more generic terms and concepts, thereby rendering EU and Russian modes of influence comparable for empirical analysis. The comprehensive conceptual framework of hegemonic power in shared neighbourhoods is based on three ideal typical mechanisms of hegemonic influence: coercion, prescription, and co-optation. To understand the nature of EU and Russian hegemony in the region, the uses of the three mechanisms by Russia and the EU towards two neighbourhood countries are compared. The focus is laid on EU and Russian actions towards Moldova and Armenia since the beginning of the 2000s and the local perceptions of these actions. Thus, the comparative case study provides insights into the longer developments in this regional order that led to Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022. The book is intended for scholars and students interested in understanding the broader context of Russia's war in Ukraine. Because of its contribution to the debate on regional powers in shared neighbourhoods, it is particularly useful for researchers analysing the (changing) power dynamics and hegemonic behaviour in this regional order. Furthermore, it offers other scholars an analytical framework to work with when analysing the policies of different regional powers.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 260 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book explains the evolution of nuclear doctrines along the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st in an evolving geopolitical context, particularly the potential use of nuclear weapons to blackmail or aggressively sanctuarize territorial gains, as it has been demonstrated by Russia in Ukraine.After five decades of the Cold War, known as the first nuclear age, the world attempted to eliminate nuclear weapons through treaties and disarmament initiatives. This marked the second nuclear age, where peace efforts fostered hope that these weapons might become obsolete. However, during the first decade of the 21st century, cracks began to appear in this ambition, notably with North Korea's withdrawal from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.Today, the nuclear factor dominates the geopolitical landscape in a new and alarming way. New players have emerged, some of whom do not adhere to the rules established during the Cold War. Russia, for example, resorted to nuclear blackmail against the West in the early days of its invasion of Ukraine. This marks the onset of a third nuclear age-characterized by greater complexity, increased volatility, and the presence of new actors who are dangerously navigating their learning curves. 84 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The subject of this book is to examine the influence of mechanical vibration on the changes in the pressure pulsation spectrum of hydraulic systems. In book shows that machines and equipment equipped with hydraulic systems are a source of vibration with a wide frequency spectrum. Additionally, hydraulic valves are also exposed to vibration. Vibrations of the substrate on which the hydraulic valve is installed force the control element of the hydraulic valve to vibrate. The control element's vibration produced in this way causes changes in the pressure pulsation spectrum of the hydraulic system. A friction model modified using mixed friction theory can be used for the oscillating motion of the hydraulic directional control spool. Passive vibration isolation methods are proposed to reduce valve vibration. The biomimetic approach can be implemented in hydraulic systems (for pipelines) to reduce mechanical vibration and fluid pulsation. Numerical methods are employed to analyze the effectof changes in the pressure pulsation spectrum on the hydraulic efficiency of the pipelines. Examples are provided for the implementation of numerical methods in the calculation of hydraulic components and systems. Additionally, the effects of energy-saving in hydraulic systems by applying the proposed results overview in the current book. The current book will be interesting for both-scientific and manufacturing staff, since the implementation of knowledge can help to design more substantiable construction of machine hydraulic systems to avoid vibration problems. 196 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The evolutionary biologist Julian Huxley (1887-1975) attempted to promote a 'religion for the future,' which he would come to refer to as Transhumanism. Transhumanism was an attempt to unite a more traditional humanistic view of the human as containing some form of core essence or potential with an evolutionary point of view of humans as a work in progress. Before humans, natural selection had been responsible for the transformation of life. Through its ordering principles and through chance, it had given rise to humankind, which had ushered in a new phase of evolution. Humanity stood on the threshold of yet another critical point in evolution: The consciously purposive phase of evolution. This open access book explores the history of transhumanism by analyzing how Julian Huxley's transhumanism develops and why it does at this particular point in time, by placing it firmly within the context of his specific scientific and sociopolitical milieu, starting roughly in the interwar years and stretching over the Second World War to the 1970s. Continuing, the study then focuses on the new transhumanists of the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s and investigates continuity in mode of thinking, contributing to a more coherent understanding of transhumanism, its history and of modern projects of human enhancement. The book captures how scientific and technological development in relation to society and social order shapes images and expectations of the future and of what future is desirable. 380 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book surveys the state of the art in explainable and interpretable reinforcement learning (RL) as relevant for robotics. While RL in general has grown in popularity and been applied to increasingly complex problems, several challenges have impeded the real-world adoption of RL algorithms for robotics and related areas. These include difficulties in preventing safety constraints from being violated and the issues faced by systems operators who desire explainable policies and actions. Robotics applications present a unique set of considerations and result in a number of opportunities related to their physical, real-world sensory input and interactions.The authors consider classification techniques used in past surveys and papers and attempt to unify terminology across the field. The book provides an in-depth exploration of 12 attributes that can be used to classify explainable/interpretable techniques. These include whether the RL method is model-agnostic or model-specific, self-explainable or post-hoc, as well as additional analysis of the attributes of scope, when-produced, format, knowledge limits, explanation accuracy, audience, predictability, legibility, readability, and reactivity. The book is organized around a discussion of these methods broken down into 42 categories and subcategories, where each category can be classified according to some of the attributes. The authors close by identifying gaps in the current research and highlighting areas for future investigation. 132 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book is for students enrolled in undergraduate mechanical engineering, or similar, programs. The material presented is based on nearly thirty years of class-tested lecture notes for courses on the applications of geometric tolerancing for designers. The book's emphasis is on fit requirements for machine components, as fit assurance makes up the majority of challenging applications in tolerancing. For design engineers, knowing how to apply geometric tolerances has been a challenge even for engineers who have practiced geometric tolerancing for a long time. The syntax and meaning of geometric tolerancing statements can be learned easily and quickly, but knowing how to use them correctly is much more difficult. In the Design-for-Fitapproach, the presentation starts with the geometric requirements for various kinds of fit and then presents the geometric tolerance statements necessary to achieve those fits.To access study problems and other supplementary files, please visit:https://web.cecs.pdx.edu/~far/Springer%20Book%20Student%20Files/Index.htm 336 pp. Englisch.…
