The principal aim of this book is to introduce to the widest possible audience an original view of belief calculus and uncertainty theory. Part II, The Geometry of Uncertainty, is the core of this book, as it introduces the author's own geometric approach to uncertainty theory, starting with the geometry of belief functions: Chap.

Revisualising Intersectionality offers transdisciplinary interrogations of the supposed visual evidentiality of categories of human similarity and difference.

This book discusses the theoretical foundations of the structural modeling method applied to metamaterials.

This thesis presents the measurement of the Higgs boson cross section in the diphoton decay channel. The thesis details the calibration of electron and photon energies in ATLAS, in particular the measurement of the presampler energy scale and the estimation of its systematic uncertainty.

This book focuses on the need for an Eulerian formulation of constitutive equations. The balance laws of the thermomechanical theory are discussed and specific constitutive equations are presented for: hyperelastic materials;

This book examines the issue of foreign investor misconduct in modern international investment law, focusing on the approach that international investment law as it currently operates has developed towards foreign investor misconduct.

This book presents a unique, step-by-step approach for monitoring, detecting, analyzing and mitigating complex network cyber threats.

This book combines the latest in sociology, psychology, and biology to present evidence-based research on what works in community and institutional corrections. It spans from the theoretical underpinning of correctional counseling to concrete examples and tools necessary for professionals in the field.

This thesis presents the first ever measurement of the noise emitted by magnetic monopoles and the development of an exquisitely sensitive magnetic-field-noise spectrometer based on a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) that enabled it.

This book presents simple design paradigms related to lightweight design, that are derived from an in-depth and theoretically sound analysis based on Pareto theory.

This textbook, now in an expanded third edition, emphasizes the importance of advanced quantum mechanics for materials science and all experimental techniques which employ photon absorption, emission, or scattering.

This book offers a systematic and rigorous treatment of continuous-time Markov decision processes, covering both theory and possible applications to queueing systems, epidemiology, finance, and other fields.

With the widespread adoption of photovoltaic (PV) systems across the world, many researchers, industry players, and regulators have been exploring the use of reactive power from PV to support the grid.

This book is a rich source of information on design research and solutions for the support and development of space missions.

This book covers selected topics of automated logic synthesis dedicated to FPGAs. In addition, the authors made sure that the issues described in the book were supported by practical examples, thanks to which the reader can independently analyze even the most complex problems described in the book.

This book describes a set of novel statistical algorithms designed to infer functional connectivity of large-scale neural assemblies. The book reports on statistical methods to compute the most significant functional connectivity graph, and shows how to use graph theory to extract the topological features of the computed network.

This book, now in its second edition, introduces the singularity analysis of differential and difference equations via the Painleve test and shows how Painleve analysis provides a powerful algorithmic approach to building explicit solutions to nonlinear ordinary and partial differential equations.

This book provides an indispensable reference guide to the sustainable control and treatment of biomass residues from a wide variety of agroindustrial sources, e.g.

This thesis discusses searches for electroweakly produced supersymmetric partners of the gauge and the Higgs bosons (gauginos and higgsinos) decaying to multiple leptons, using pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 13 TeV.

Device-independent quantum cryptography is a method for exchanging secret messages over potentially insecure quantum communication channels, such as optical fibers.

This monograph introduces breakthrough control algorithms for partial differential equation models with moving boundaries, the study of which is known as the Stefan problem.

This open access book explores the digital transformation of small and rural towns, in particular, how to measure the evolution and development of digital towns.

This open access book presents a ground-breaking approach to developing micro-foundations for demography and migration studies. The book discusses in detail the process of building a simulation model of migration, based on a population of intelligent, cognitive agents, their networks and institutions, all interacting with one another.

This book focuses on the present and future challenges of managing ecosystem transformation on a planet where human impacts are pervasive.
