Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this concise, clear introduction, the authors describe the theory of spatial diffusion, its method of measurement and many of its applications. The seminal work of Torsten Hagerstrand, who introduced the original spatial model of diffusion, is outlined.

Download or read book Models in Spatial Analysis written by Lena Sanders and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title provides a broad overview of the different types of models used in advanced spatial analysis. The models concern spatial organization, location factors and spatial interaction patterns from both static and dynamic perspectives. Each chapter gives a broad overview of the subject, covering both theoretical developments and practical applications. The advantages of an interdisciplinary approach are illustrated in the way that the viewpoint of each of the individual disciplines are brought together when considering questions relevant to spatial analysis. The authors of the chapters come from a range of different disciplines (geography, economy, hydrology, ecology, etc.) and are specialists in their field. They use a range of methods and modeling tools developed in mathematics, statistics, artificial intelligence and physics.

Book excerpt: In addition to presenting the latest work in the field, Artificial Life V includes a retrospective and prospective look at both artificial and natural life with the aim of refining the methods and approaches discovered so far into viable, practical tools for the pursuit of science and engineering goals. May 16-18, 1996 · Nara, Japan Despite all the successes in computer engineering, adaptive computation, bottom-up AI, and robotics, Artificial Life must not become simply a one-way bridge, borrowing biological principles to enhance our engineering efforts in the construction of life-as-it-could-be. We must ensure that we give back to biology in kind, by developing tools and methods that will be of real value in the effort to understand life-as-it-is. Artificial Life V marks a decade since Christopher Langton organized the first workshop on artificial life--a decade characterized by the exploration of new possibilities and techniques as researchers have sought to understand, through synthetic experiments, the organizing principles underlying the dynamics (usually the nonlinear dynamics) of living systems. In addition to presenting the latest work in the field, Artificial Life V includes a retrospective and prospective look at both artificial and natural life with the aim of refining the methods and approaches discovered so far into viable, practical tools for the pursuit of science and engineering goals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first half, McGillivray (geography, Capilano College, North Vancouver) focuses on the combination of physical processes that produced the variety of landscape features in the western Canadian province, and briefly reviews land uses from the First Nations up to the present. Then he details the economic geography, with chapters on forestry, the salmon fishery, metal mining, energy supply and demand, agriculture, water, and the tourism industry. He also addresses current problems such as urbanization, economic development, and resource management, reviewing the background of each and suggesting what the future might bring. He includes a glossary without pronunciation guides. Canadian card order number: C00-910266-3. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Download or read book Life Space and Economic Space written by John Friedmann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-01-16 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Friedmann perceives a global crisis which he traces to the dissolution of territorial relations. This he believes results from penetration of the global system of markets into the remotest corners of the world, undermining tradition cultures and ways of life. The consequence is incipient breakdown, he asserts, and we need to repoliticize space and subordinate the power of capital to the collective will of people organized to work toward common ends. This deliberately provocative collection of essays includes an autobiographical fragment providing contextual information about the author.
Download or read book The Science Handbook written by Matthew S. Deal and published by Matthew S. Deal. This book was released on 2023-11-11 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook presents a diverse array of scientific concepts, with the intent that one or several will spark an interest in deeper exploration. The first attempt for this book was to compile all the "First Laws" of science as an introduction. However, focusing solely on the “first laws” omitted too many fascinating and crucial concepts that would be ideal in an introductory handbook such as this. Consequently, the book evolved to feature various theories and principles of science, aiming to attract folks with a term, concept, or idea that drives their curiosity further. Thus, this book is not intended as a reference source, but rather as a catalyst for exploration and discovery.

Download or read book Mobilities and Health written by Anthony C. Gatrell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-22 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Looking at health and health care in a new way, this book examines health risks and benefits as encountered 'on the move' rather than focusing on the risks and benefits incurred at fixed locations. The provision and utilization of health care is also investigated, as produced/delivered and consumed/accessed in mobile settings. Engaging with the contemporary concern with 'mobilities' this book covers many forms of movement and flow, including movements of people, disease, information and health care. The issues and problems which are considered - whether re-emerging infections, displaced persons, or the 'risks' of globalised travel - are of current and ongoing concern. Drawing on three main disciplines, geography, sociology, and epidemiology, author Tony Gatrell makes strong connections between these areas of inquiry, drawing on (for example) social theorising, geographical concepts, and epidemiological methods and data. The book will be of interest to the growing number of geographers working on the geography of health, along with social scientists involved in the mobilities 'turn'. More broadly, as issues of global public health that invariably involve the movements of people, goods, viruses and information continue to hit the headlines, the book is both timely and of policy relevance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in1984. Regional development planning has grown rapidly in recent years, as both an academic specialism and a focus of policy and practice. Books and articles on the subject have proliferated, and all across the Third World governments have become commited to it, setting up large new departments and even ministries. Charles Gore argues that this growing popularity of regional planning in developing countries is profoundly paradoxical.
