The present volume celebrates the 60th birthday of Professor Giovanni Paolo Galdi and honors his remarkable contributions to research in the ?eld of Mathematical Fluid Mechanics. The book contains a collection of 35 peer reviewed papers, with authors from 20 countries, re?ecting the worldwide impact and great inspiration by his work over the years. These papers were selected from invited lectures and contributed talks presented at the International Conference on Mathematical Fluid Mechanics held in Estoril, Portugal, May 21–25, 2007 and organized on the oc- sion of Professor Galdi’s 60th birthday. We express our gratitude to all the authors and reviewers for their important contributions...
An embodied perspective on mathematical thinking, teaching and learning has grown from early theoretical and empirical work in the 90’s to a diverse and productive collection of approaches today. The aim of this book is to survey the landscape of these approaches and to provide empirical examples of research and an in-depth analysis of the most influential perspectives on embodiment and mathematics. More particularly, the book clarifies differences and points of contact among several theoretical and methodological frameworks that all take embodiment as a core construct in understanding mathematical thinking, and illustrates in a concrete way the affordances of each of these frameworks. Contributors are: Dor Abrahamson, Martha W. Alibali, Corey Brady, James A. Dixon, Laurie Edwards, Virginia J. Flood, Susan Gerofsky, Christina Krause, Ricardo Nemirovsky, Matthew Petersen, Luis Radford, Wolff-Michael Roth, Anna Shvarts, and Ashwin Vaidya.
The Second Law, a cornerstone of thermodynamics, governs the average direction of dissipative, non-equilibrium processes. But it says nothing about their actual rates or the probability of fluctuations about the average. This interdisciplinary book, written and peer-reviewed by international experts, presents recent advances in the search for new non-equilibrium principles beyond the Second Law, and their applications to a wide range of systems across physics, chemistry and biology. Beyond The Second Law brings together traditionally isolated areas of non-equilibrium research and highlights potentially fruitful connections between them, with entropy production playing the unifying role. Key ...
This book highlights recent research on bio-inspired computing and its various innovative applications in Information and Communication Technologies. It presents 50 high-quality papers from the 9th International Conference on Innovations in Bio-Inspired Computing and Applications (IBICA 2018) and 7th World Congress on Information and Communication Technologies (WICT 2018), which was held at Toc H Institute of Science and Technology (TIST) on December 17–19, 2018. IBICA-WICT 2018 was a premier conference and brought together researchers, engineers and practitioners whose work involved bio-inspired computing, computational intelligence and their applications in information security, real-world contexts etc. Including contributions by authors from 22 countries, the book offers a valuable reference guide for all researchers, students and practitioners in the fields of Computer Science and Engineering.
Climate change affects every person and society, every community and industry. Education at all levels, in all disciplines, and both inside and outside official institutions must now address climate change and its many effects on social and environmental systems. This book provides a framework for putting climate change at the forefront of educational agendas and pedagogical tools for teaching climate science across local and global settings. Cassie Xu and Radhika Iyengar present evidence-based teaching practices and strategies that are grounded in a broad conception of education and emphasize a systems approach. They share examples of effective approaches in diverse learning environments—...
