Applied Partial Differential Equations

"This second edition contains new and additional exercises, and it includes a new chapter on the applications of PDEs to biology: age structured models, pattern formation, epidemic wave fronts, and advection-diffusion processes. The student who reads through this book and solves many of the exercises will have a sound knowledge base for upper division mathematics, science, and engineering courses where detailed models and applications are introduced."--BOOK JACKET.

Parallel Processing and Applied Mathematics

4th International Conference, PPAM 2001 Naleczow, Poland, September 9-12, 2001 Revised Papers

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Parallel Processing and Applied Mathematics, PPAM 2002, held in Naleczow, Poland, in September 2001. The 101 papers presented were carefully reviewed and improved during two rounds of reviewing and revision. The book offers topical sections on distributed and grid architectures, scheduling and load balancing, performance analysis and prediction, parallel non-numerical algorithms, parallel programming, tools and environments, parallel numerical algorithms, applications, and evolutionary computing and neural networks.

Many problems in engineering, chemistry and physics require the representation
of solutions in complex geometries. In the paper we ... The control volume

Applied Mathematical Modelling of Engineering Problems

The subject of the book is the "know-how" of applied mathematical modelling: how to construct specific models and adjust them to a new engineering environment or more precise realistic assumptions; how to analyze models for the purpose of investigating real life phenomena; and how the models can extend our knowledge about a specific engineering process. Two major sources of the book are the stock of classic models and the authors' wide experience in the field. The book provides a theoretical background to guide the development of practical models and their investigation. It considers general modelling techniques, explains basic underlying physical laws and shows how to transform them into a set of mathematical equations. The emphasis is placed on common features of the modelling process in various applications as well as on complications and generalizations of models. The book covers a variety of applications: mechanical, acoustical, physical and electrical, water transportation and contamination processes; bioengineering and population control; production systems and technical equipment renovation. Mathematical tools include partial and ordinary differential equations, difference and integral equations, the calculus of variations, optimal control, bifurcation methods, and related subjects.

Human-Centered Social Media Analytics

This book provides a timely and unique survey of next-generation social computational methodologies. The text explains the fundamentals of this field, and describes state-of-the-art methods for inferring social status, relationships, preferences, intentions, personalities, needs, and lifestyles from human information in unconstrained visual data. Topics and features: includes perspectives from an international and interdisciplinary selection of pre-eminent authorities; presents balanced coverage of both detailed theoretical analysis and real-world applications; examines social relationships in human-centered media for the development of socially-aware video, location-based, and multimedia applications; reviews techniques for recognizing the social roles played by people in an event, and for classifying human-object interaction activities; discusses the prediction and recognition of human attributes via social media analytics, including social relationships, facial age and beauty, and occupation.

Despite the progress made during the last decade in video understanding,
extracting high-level semantics in the form of relations among the actors in a
video is still an under-explored area. This chapter discusses a streamlined
methodology to ...

Corporate Media Relations und Personalisierung

Eine empirische Analyse der Medienarbeit ausgewählter DAX30-Unternehmen

Längst hat der Trend zur Personalisierung die Unternehmenswelt mit Wucht ergriffen. Unternehmen werden immer stärker anhand der Personen an ihrer Spitze beschrieben und bewertet. Besonders den CEOs großer Unternehmen kommt somit eine Schlüsselrolle in der Unternehmenskommunikation zu. Das Buch erörtert die Gründe und Auswirkungen medialer Personalisierung und untersucht in Fallstudien von DAX30-Unternehmen, wie das Kommunikationsmanagement mit der zunehmenden Personalisierung umgeht. Die Auswirkungen dieses Trends sind beträchtlich und umfassen Chancen und Risiken gleichermaßen. Eine CEO-Positionierung stützt sich dabei hauptsächlich auf wirtschaftliche Themen, umfasst jedoch auch soziale und emotionale Aspekte. Sie läuft in verschiedenen Phasen ab, in denen das Kommunikationsmanagement vor wechselnden Herausforderungen steht und unterschiedlich große Handlungsspielräume nutzen kann.

Die forschungsleitenden Fragen orientierten sich dabei konsequent an den
beiden im Theorieteil der Arbeit entwickelten Modellen personalisierter Media
Relations, die das Resultat einer umfassenden Analyse und Aufarbeitung des ...

Mutative Media

Communication Technologies and Power Relations in the Past, Present, and Futures

Mutative Media is a sweeping examination of how communication technologies have contributed to changes in people’s thoughts and actions, and thus in the power structures of societies, in the past, at present, and in four alternative futures. We start by surveying what is generally known about the emergence of human language and speech that has enabled humans to extend their organizing abilities beyond that of other hominids. We then review research on the emergence of signs, symbols, and eventually writing, which led to new ways of thinking, acting, and organizing in scribal societies and vastly extended human influence globally. We consider the impact of the printing press in Europe, the Middle East, China, and Korea that led to various ways of thinking and organizing in modern societies, and conclude our historical survey with a discussion of the emergence and impact of electric and electronic communication technologies from the nineteenth century to the present. After a brief overview of what “futures studies” is and is not, based on our extensive experience in the field, we present four generic alternative futures, and discuss a prototype of a hybrid, mixed-reality game designed to enable players to experience the power and potential of new communication technologies within four very different environments and conditions. We think you will be intrigued by our surprising findings and what they may mean for future generations!
