Download or read book Controversies in the Contemporary World written by Adriano Fabris and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2019-08-07 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by Marcelo Dascal’s theory of controversies, this volume includes studies in the theory of controversies, studies of the history of controversy forms and their evolution, and case-studies of particular historical and current controversies. The purpose of this volume is to identify a taxonomy of controversies and also to sense a line of development for the phenomenon of controversies itself. At the same time, we want to ask ourselves about the impact and the spread of controversies in the contemporary world, eminently intended as a heuristic element facilitating knowledge. For all these reasons, the fundamental aim of the volume is to provide the reader with a selection of current theoretical and practical perspectives on controversies, and to offer a broad picture of the complex range of definitions, meanings and practices connected to them.

Download or read book Histories of Medicine and Healing in the Indian Ocean World Volume One written by Anna Winterbottom and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-01-26 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This interdisciplinary work, the first of two volumes, presents essays on various aspects of disease, medicine, and healing in different locations in and around the Indian Ocean from the ninth century to the early modern period. Themes include theoretical explanations for disease, concepts of fertility, material culture, healing in relation to diplomacy and colonialism, public health, and the health of slaves and migrant workers. Overall, the books argue that, throughout the period of study, the Indian Ocean has been the site of multiple interconnected medical interactions that may be viewed in the context of the environmental factors connecting the region. The two volumes are the first to use the Indian Ocean World as a geographical and conceptual framework for the study of disease. It will appeal to academics and graduate students working in the fields of medical and scientific history, as well as in the growing fields of Indian Ocean studies and global history.

Download or read book Application of Holomorphic Functions in Two and Higher Dimensions written by Klaus Gürlebeck and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-06-20 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents applications of hypercomplex analysis to boundary value and initial-boundary value problems from various areas of mathematical physics. Given that quaternion and Clifford analysis offer natural and intelligent ways to enter into higher dimensions, it starts with quaternion and Clifford versions of complex function theory including series expansions with Appell polynomials, as well as Taylor and Laurent series. Several necessary function spaces are introduced, and an operator calculus based on modifications of the Dirac, Cauchy-Fueter, and Teodorescu operators and different decompositions of quaternion Hilbert spaces are proved. Finally, hypercomplex Fourier transforms are studied in detail. All this is then applied to first-order partial differential equations such as the Maxwell equations, the Carleman-Bers-Vekua system, the Schrödinger equation, and the Beltrami equation. The higher-order equations start with Riccati-type equations. Further topics include spatial fluid flow problems, image and multi-channel processing, image diffusion, linear scale invariant filtering, and others. One of the highlights is the derivation of the three-dimensional Kolosov-Mushkelishvili formulas in linear elasticity. Throughout the book the authors endeavor to present historical references and important personalities. The book is intended for a wide audience in the mathematical and engineering sciences and is accessible to readers with a basic grasp of real, complex, and functional analysis.

Download or read book Construction of Mappings for Hamiltonian Systems and Their Applications written by Sadrilla S. Abdullaev and published by Springer. This book was released on 2006-08-02 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the method of canonical transformation of variables and the classical perturbation theory, this innovative book treats the systematic theory of symplectic mappings for Hamiltonian systems and its application to the study of the dynamics and chaos of various physical problems described by Hamiltonian systems. It develops a new, mathematically-rigorous method to construct symplectic mappings which replaces the dynamics of continuous Hamiltonian systems by the discrete ones. Applications of the mapping methods encompass the chaos theory in non-twist and non-smooth dynamical systems, the structure and chaotic transport in the stochastic layer, the magnetic field lines in magnetically confinement devices of plasmas, ray dynamics in waveguides, etc. The book is intended for postgraduate students and researches, physicists and astronomers working in the areas of plasma physics, hydrodynamics, celestial mechanics, dynamical astronomy, and accelerator physics. It should also be useful for applied mathematicians involved in analytical and numerical studies of dynamical systems.

Download or read book Parallel computing of partial differential equations based applications written by Siham Tabik and published by Universidad Almería. This book was released on 2008-05-12 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La mayoría de los modelos matemáticos empleados para describir fenómenos físicos reales en ciencia e ingeniería están gobernados por ecuaciones parciales diferenciales no-lineales dependientes del tiempo PDEs (Partial Differential Equations). Generalmente, la solución de dichas ecuaciones requiere una discretización usando métodos como los de diferencias finitas, elementos finitos, volúmenes finitos o métodos de los momentos. El análisis del comportamiento de los modelos matemáticos basados en PDEs para sistemas reales es muy costoso desde el punto de vista computacional, y los costes pueden ser tan enormes que su implementación paralela se convierte en la única solución. Adicionalmente, la reciente disponibilidad en el mercado de la computación de alta prestación de arquitecturas de nodos de memoria compartida conectados entre si ha incrementado la importancia de diseñar códigos eficientes apropiados para explotar estas plataformas. Dichas plataformas soportan tres paradigmas de comunicación: 1) el paradigma de memoria compartida, 2) el paradigma de paso de mensajes, y 3) el paradigma híbrido, que consiste en la combinación de los dos paradigmas anteriores. Cada uno de los paradigmas ofrece ventajas y desventajas en función de las características de la plataforma paralela y del problema. Esta tesis analiza la solución numérica de tres aplicaciones científicas en física y en el campo del tratamiento de imágenes gobernadas por ecuaciones diferenciales, tridimensionales, independientes del tiempo. En particular, la primera aplicación es un método dependiente del tiempo que resuelve la ecuación integral del campo eléctrico para el análisis de la interacción entre hilos finos conductores y ondas electromagnéticas; la segunda aplicación es un método de diferencias finitas que resuelve la ecuación de difusión altamente acoplada con un sistemas masivo para filtrar imágenes 3D en biología celular y biomedicina; y la tercera aplicación es un conjunto de cuatro ecuaciones de reacción-difusión para simular el fenómeno de bursting en tres dimensiones, un fenómeno común en numerosos sistemas naturales. Para ello, se analizan las características de los paradigmas de comunicación conforme se aplican para obtener las soluciones numéricas de las tres aplicaciones descritas anteriormente. Los resultados indican que es posible establecer una abstracción de los modelos de comunicación que permite un desarrollo eficiente, simple y robusto de los modelos de comunicación que son independientes de las arquitecturas de las diferentes plataformas usadas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Publishers Weekly best book of 1995! Dr. Michael Guillen, known to millions as the science editor of ABC's Good Morning America, tells the fascinating stories behind five mathematical equations. As a regular contributor to daytime's most popular morning news show and an instructor at Harvard University, Dr. Michael Guillen has earned the respect of millions as a clear and entertaining guide to the exhilarating world of science and mathematics. Now Dr. Guillen unravels the equations that have led to the inventions and events that characterize the modern world, one of which -- Albert Einstein's famous energy equation, E=mc2 -- enabled the creation of the nuclear bomb. Also revealed are the mathematical foundations for the moon landing, airplane travel, the electric generator -- and even life itself. Praised by Publishers Weekly as "a wholly accessible, beautifully written exploration of the potent mathematical imagination," and named a Best Nonfiction Book of 1995, the stories behind The Five Equations That Changed the World, as told by Dr. Guillen, are not only chronicles of science, but also gripping dramas of jealousy, fame, war, and discovery.

Download or read book Theory and Practice of High Resolution Seismic HRS Geo Technology Application written by Vladimir L. Trofimov and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2024-03-08 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book outlines the scientific, methodological and practical foundations for applying High Resolution Seismic HRS-Geo Technology in order to build detailed 2D and 3D seismic acoustic models in the form of acoustic impedances (AI) and reflection coefficients (RC) and the most important geological indicators. The monograph is a continuation of the book by the same authors "Oil and Gas Reservoir Prospecting and Exploration: High-Resolution Seismic HRS techniques and technology". Particular attention is paid to improving the process of searching for AI and RC models using the vector of objective functions, in which various types of residuals between real and model data are iteratively calculated. The well-known criteria for predicting the oil and gas potential of productive deposits from the standpoint of the system analysis principles and the set of geological indicators found from the HRS data are analyzed. The features of solving the main seismogeological problems using HRS-Geo Technology modules are shown, illustrated by numerous examples, and using a special (optimal) processing graph and a set of additional seismic record regularization procedures that provide maximum detail of high-resolution seismic data. The book is meant for scientists and specialists involved in in-depth complex geological interpretation of seismic data in the search and exploration of oil and gas deposits, as well as students of geophysical and geological specialties, graduate students of these specializations and developers.

Download or read book In Pursuit of the Unknown written by Ian Stewart and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2012-03-13 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The seventeen equations that form the basis for life as we know it. Most people are familiar with history's great equations: Newton's Law of Gravity, for instance, or Einstein's theory of relativity. But the way these mathematical breakthroughs have contributed to human progress is seldom appreciated. In In Pursuit of the Unknown, celebrated mathematician Ian Stewart untangles the roots of our most important mathematical statements to show that equations have long been a driving force behind nearly every aspect of our lives. Using seventeen of our most crucial equations -- including the Wave Equation that allowed engineers to measure a building's response to earthquakes, saving countless lives, and the Black-Scholes model, used by bankers to track the price of financial derivatives over time -- Stewart illustrates that many of the advances we now take for granted were made possible by mathematical discoveries. An approachable, lively, and informative guide to the mathematical building blocks of modern life, In Pursuit of the Unknown is a penetrating exploration of how we have also used equations to make sense of, and in turn influence, our world.
