Book excerpt: Earthen architecture constitutes one of the most diverse forms of cultural heritage and one of the most challenging to preserve. It dates from all periods and is found on all continents but is particularly prevalent in Africa, where it has been a building tradition for centuries. Sites range from ancestral cities in Mali to the palaces of Abomey in Benin, from monuments and mosques in Iran and Buddhist temples on the Silk Road to Spanish missions in California. This volume's sixty-four papers address such themes as earthen architecture in Mali, the conservation of living sites, local knowledge systems and intangible aspects, seismic and other natural forces, the conservation and management of archaeological sites, research advances, and training.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INTRODUCTION 1) Introduction In 1979, Efron introduced the bootstrap method as a kind of universal tool to obtain approximation of the distribution of statistics. The now well known underlying idea is the following : consider a sample X of Xl ' n independent and identically distributed H.i.d.) random variables (r. v,'s) with unknown probability measure (p.m.) P . Assume we are interested in approximating the distribution of a statistical functional T(P ) the -1 nn empirical counterpart of the functional T(P) , where P n := n l:i=l aX. is 1 the empirical p.m. Since in some sense P is close to P when n is large, n • • LLd. from P and builds the empirical p.m. if one samples Xl ' ... , Xm n n -1 mn • • P T(P ) conditionally on := mn l: i =1 a • ' then the behaviour of P m n,m n n n X. 1 T(P ) should imitate that of when n and mn get large. n This idea has lead to considerable investigations to see when it is correct, and when it is not. When it is not, one looks if there is any way to adapt it.

Download or read book PR VISION DE S RIES TEMPORELLES L AIDE DE R SEAUX NEURONAUX EXEMPLES AVEC MATLAB written by CESAR PEREZ LOPEZ and published by CESAR PEREZ. This book was released on with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MATLAB dispose de l'outil Neural Network Toolbox qui fournit des algorithmes, des fonctions et des applications pour créer, entraîner, visualiser et simuler des réseaux de neurones. Vous pouvez effectuer la classification, la régression, le clustering, la réduction de dimensionnalité, la prévision de séries temporelles ainsi que la modélisation et le contrôle de systèmes dynamiques. Les réseaux de neurones dynamiques sont efficaces pour la prédiction de séries temporelles. Vous pouvez utiliser l'application Neural Net Time Series pour résoudre différents types de problèmes de séries chronologiques. Dans le premier type de problème de série chronologique, vous souhaitez prédire les valeurs futures d'une série chronologique y(t) à partir des valeurs passées de cette série chronologique et des valeurs passées d'une deuxième série chronologique x(t). Cette forme de prédiction est appelée réseau autorégressif non linéaire avec entrée exogène (externe), ou NARX. Dans le deuxième type de problème de séries chronologiques, une seule série est impliquée. Les valeurs futures d'une série temporelle y(t) sont prédites uniquement à partir des valeurs passées de cette série. Cette forme de prédiction est appelée autorégressive non linéaire, ou NAR. Le troisième problème de série chronologique est similaire au premier type, dans la mesure où deux séries sont impliquées, une série d'entrée (prédicteurs) x(t) et une série de sortie (réponses) y(t). Ici, vous souhaitez prédire les valeurs de y(t) à partir des valeurs précédentes de x(t), mais sans connaître les valeurs précédentes de y(t). Ce livre développe des méthodes de prévision de séries chronologiques à l'aide de réseaux de neurones dans MATLAB.

Download or read book MEGA CRISES written by Ira Helsloot and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2012-08-01 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in turbulent times with continents and nations facing ever-heightening risks such as natural disasters, intense and protracted conflicts, terrorism, corporate crises, cyber threats to infrastructures and mega-events. We are witnessing the rise of mega-crises and a new class of adversity with many unknowns. The prospect of mega-crises presents professionals and students in the field of crisis management with four major tasks. First, they should engage in “deep thinking” about the causes of the increasing occurrence of mega-crises. Second, they should identify and work through the dominant trends which complicate contemporary crisis management. Third, they should upgrade institutional crisis management capacity. Fourth, they should improve societal resilience since no institutional complex can mitigate or manage these mega-crisis on its own. This book is divided into four primary parts, each of which looks at one facet of mega-crises. Part I focuses on the concept of a mega-crisis and mega-crisis management; Part II examines crisis management of mega-natural disasters; Part III evaluates crisis management of man-made mega-crises; and Part IV identifies mega-threats and vulnerabilities. Additional major topics include Hurricane Katrina; Hurricane Gustav; the London Bombings; the Mumbai Terrorist Attacks of July 7, 2005; corporate meltdowns; the subprime crisis; the Olympic Games; electricity grids; global climate change; the Dutch Delta; risks to food security; and mega-crises and the Internet. This comprehensive text will provide practitioners and academics with the results of an across-the-board research effort in the prospects, nature, characteristics, and the effects of mega-crises.
