Urban Design
This book defines and analyzes three types of continuity in urban planning and design: urban conservation, cultural tourism, and persistencies of form. It cites international examples from the author’s work, illustrated with numerous original drawings.
Seismic Isolation Strategies for Earthquake-Resistant Construction
This book presents unique, modern, and cost-effective seismic isolation strategies to make existing buildings earthquake-proof. Learn how these highly efficient methods can be implemented quickly, easily, and without interrupting building use, demonstrated on real-world examples.
This book offers exemplary solutions to chemistry problems, with necessary commentary on the processes involved. It is the basis for good preparation for national and international chemistry Olympiads, as well as for university studies in chemistry and medicine.
This book takes a historical and geometrical approach to Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity. It details the latest developments in the field, including cutting-edge research on gravitational waves, black holes, and cosmology.
The Labeled Multi-Bernoulli Filter
This guide to labeled multi-Bernoulli filters for multi-object tracking combines essential theory with practical code examples. Learn to develop your own dependable tracking systems, easily adapted for applications in robotics, automotive engineering, and public safety.
This book explores urban renewal in post-industrial regional cities through an in-depth study of Geelong. While architecture is key to change, an intersectional perspective reveals contested pasts, from the dispossession of First Nations people to the exploitation of immigrants.
This book presents a tool for decision making under uncertainty in engineering design. It synthesizes game theory and quantum decision theory in a value driven design framework to address stakeholder preferences and capture human factors like risk, bias, and emotion.
This book tackles the significant challenges of evolutionary processes with memory. It studies their properties by introducing a resolvent family to represent solutions, and explores the dual problem, solvability issues, invariant subspaces, and spectral theory.
As digital systems grow in complexity, so do the challenges of Boolean logic. This book summarizes recent progress, describing powerful approaches to solve exceptionally complex problems, from digital circuit design and testing to the future of quantum computers.
Fundamental Optics
This book updates our knowledge of light with new data from reproducible experiments. It presents a new theory which interprets verifiable information according to the various speeds of the lights involved, examining light’s general motions in space.
With the growing complexity of digital systems, solving Boolean problems is a major challenge. This volume explores powerful techniques to solve them, from hardware acceleration to the synthesis of digital and reversible circuits, extending the basis for future quantum computers.
Semiconductor silicon is the basic material of modern electronics. Its properties are determined by defects in its crystal structure, but a complete description of these defects has been a mystery—until now. This book solves it using classical and probabilistic approaches.
This book presents a theoretical description of fiber Bragg gratings, focusing on channel densification and tunability. It includes full Matlab code to synthesize and optimize various gratings using genetic algorithms, simulated annealing, and tabu search.
Oceans and Society
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the “Oceans and Society: Blue Planet” initiative, a global effort to coordinate ocean-observing programmes for societal benefit. Readers will learn how ocean observations are integrated and applied to benefit us all.
Today We’re Alive
Wilkinson presents an exploration of the multiple narratives embedded in colonial and post-colonial history in Australia. At the heart of this research is a verbatim play, interweaving Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal testimonies about the massacre at Myall Creek in 1838.
This guide covers the processing and combustion of fuels—biomass, petroleum, coal, natural gas, nuclear, hydrogen, and fuel cells. It addresses recent advances, emission concerns, and how advanced fuels can be optimized for efficiency and compliance with EURO VI emission norms.
Coastal Management Revisited
An overview of the maturing field of coastal and ocean management. Written by leading experts, it reviews 25 years of research on issues from governance to climate change, drawing on global case studies to address urgent challenges and propose a new theory of coasts and oceans.
Beyond the Bifurcation of Nature
A human-centric worldview must be dismantled. But what takes its place? This volume brings Alfred North Whitehead’s philosophy into conversation with science, religion, indigenous traditions, and art to ignite new experiments in thought and action.
Communities in Action
This volume shows how ICTs are a powerful resource for community action, including social change, learning, and development. It offers a platform for exchanging experiences, case studies, and solutions, helping readers grasp the complexities of social-technical relations.
