Control of Traffic Systems in Buildings
Transportation systems in buildings are part of everyday life: whether ferrying people twenty storeys up to the office or moving luggage at the airport, 21st-century society relies on them. This book presents the latest in analysis and control of transportation systems in buildings focusing primarily on elevator groups. The theory and design of passenger and cargo transport systems are covered, with operational examples and topics of special interest.
Parameter Setting in Evolutionary Algorithms
One of the main difficulties of applying an evolutionary algorithm (or, as a matter of fact, any heuristic method) to a given problem is to decide on an appropriate set of parameter values. Typically these are specified before the algorithm is run and include population size, selection rate, operator probabilities, not to mention the representation and the operators themselves. This book gives the reader a solid perspective on the different approaches that have been proposed to automate control of these parameters as well as understanding their interactions. The book covers a broad area of evolutionary computation, including genetic algorithms, evolution strategies, genetic programming, estimation of distribution algorithms, and also discusses the issues of specific parameters used in parallel implementations, multi-objective evolutionary algorithms, and practical consideration for real-world applications. It is a recommended read for researchers and practitioners of evolutionary computation and heuristic methods.
Dynamics of Discrete and Continuum Structures and Media
This volume is dedicated to the sixtieth birthday of Prof. Alexey Porubov and contains a selection of scientific papers prepared by papers by his friends and colleagues from different countries. It is devoted to actual research in dynamics considering discrete and continuum models of continuum and structures. It includes microstructures modeling the behavior of materials and offers new theoretical approaches in dynamics with applications. There has been rapid development in the field of continuum mechanics in recent years. This has led to new theoretical concepts, e.g., better inclusion of the microstructure in the models describing material behavior. At the same time, there are also more applications for the theories in engineering practice. The book gives a new insight into the current developments.
Emergence, Analysis and Evolution of Structures
In May 2002 a number of about 20 scientists from various disciplines were invited by the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities to participate in an interdisciplinary workshop on structures and structure generating processes. The site was the beautiful little castle of Blankensee, south of Berlin. The disciplines represented ranged from mathematics and information theory, over various ?elds of engineering, biochemistry and biology, to the economic and social sciences. All participants presented talks explaining the nature of structures considered in their ?elds and the associated procedures of analysis. It soon became evident that the study of structures is indeed a common c- ...
Defy the Clock with Slow Aging
The book “Defy the Clock with Slow Aging” aims to bring theoretical and practical aspects of biogerentology mechanisms that are responsible for biology of aging. Biochemical, molecular and clinical aspects of aging is covered in its chapters. The causes, process, control of aging is covered under one umbrella. There are ten chapters that illustrate how slowing the aging process involves a combination of lifestyle choices, scientific advancements, and holistic practices. Here’s a breakdown of key areas that contribute to longevity and healthy aging. Slowing the aging process is about more than just looking younger—it's about maintaining health, vitality, and quality of life as we grow older. Here’s why it matters. Looking younger is often associated with more than just aesthetics—it can impact how you feel, how others perceive you, and even your overall well-being. Here’s why it can be important. So, we hope this book will support those minds who want to slow their aging process.
