Theory and Application of Rare Earth Materials

This book starts with a theoretical introduction of the rare earth materials, and it subsequently analyzes the essential characteristics of these materials from elements, compounds to physical chemistry and metal materials, etc. Under the supplementary explanation of experimental data and results, the research is gradually guided into the multi-domain application scene. Through extensive analyses, this book displays comprehensively the distinguished values of the rare earth materials and the theoretical, empirical, and practical significance of rare earth materials is unraveled. It also covers an exhaustive review of 17 rare earth elements, their characteristics, and more possibilities in physical chemistry, functional materials, metallurgy, composites and engineering, and their prospects in production and technical applications. In-depth account of the whole spectrum of rare earth material research makes this book a unique reference to academic researchers, students, and engineers.

Theory and Application of Acoustic Sources Using Complex Analysis: Complex Acoustic Sources, Green’s Functions and Half-Space Problems, Acoustic Radiation and Scattering Using Equivalent Source and Boundary Element Methods

This book highlights the mathematical and physical properties of acoustical sources with singularities located in the complex plane and presents the application of such special elements to solve acoustical radiation and scattering problems. Sources whose origin lies in the complex plane are also solutions of the wave equation but possess different radiating properties as their counterparts with real positions. Such mathematical constructions are known in the fields of optics and electrodynamics, but they are not common in acoustical research. The objective of the book is to introduce this concept to acousticians and motivate them to engage themselves in further research and application of complex sources. Such sources are particularly useful to formulate Green’s functions and related equivalent source and boundary element methods in half-spaces.

Theorizing Transition: The Political Economy of Post-Communist Transformations

Theorizing Transition provides a comprehensive examination of the economic, political, social and cultural transformations in post-Communist countries and an important critique of transition theory and policy. The authors create the basis of a theoretical understanding of transition in terms of a political economy of capitalist development. The diversity of forms and complexities of transition are examined through a wide range of examples from post-Soviet countries and comparative studies from countries such as Vietnam and China. Theorizing Transition challenges many of the comfortable assumptions unleashed by the euphoria of democratisation and the triumphalism of market capitalism in the early 1990s and shows transition to be much more complex than mainstream theory suggests.

Theorizing Transboundary Waters in International Relations (Springer Water)

This book is the first collection of state-of-the-art research projects analyzing water conflict and cooperation with an explicitly theoretical point of view. Its fourteen chapters offer a comprehensive and up-to-date overview on how the application of various theoretical perspectives can support the work of scholars and practitioners in mitigating water conflict and developing cooperation.The volume starts out from a literature review on the theorization of transboundary waters in International Relations, which prepares the ground for the demonstration of the latest approaches of scholars currently working on this field. The discussion of their findings is divided into four main sections. The first section deals with reflections and critiques on the grand theories of International Relations, proposing new and more nuanced frameworks for understanding and managing transboundary water relations by going beyond the traditional assumptions. The second section focuses on the catalysts and barriers of cooperation, applying theoretical frameworks which reveal the consequences of the dynamics in power relations and institutional frameworks. The third section investigates into the perspectives at the intersections of theory and practice related to the most practical field within the scope of the volume: water diplomacy. The fourth section introduces new perspectives to provide specific entry points for understanding and managing water conflict and cooperation.Overall, the work intends to demonstrate that the theorization of transboundary waters can significantly contribute to the deeper understanding and the more efficient management of water conflicts and cooperation from several aspects.The authors come from diverse backgrounds, and their individual careers are often related to the intersections of theory and practice in the field of transboundary water management. Their expertise covers water issues from all around the globe, which is reflected in the range of the analyzed case studies. The diversity of the experts involved, their backgrounds, their perspectives, the applied theories, and the analyzed cases was an important priority for the editors.

Theorizing Outdoor Recreation and Ecology (Leisure Studies in a Global Era)

Deciding what user impacts are natural or unnatural has inspired much debate. Biophysically, moose cause similar kinds of soil and vegetation impacts as hikers. Yet moose are the sign of nature while hikers are the sign of damage. The field of outdoor recreation is beset with paradoxes, and this book presents a unique, alternative framework to address these dilemmas. Examining outdoor recreation through the lens of ecological theory, Ryan draws from theorists such as Foucault, Derrida and Latour. The book explores minimum impact strategies designed to protect and enhance ecological integrity, but that also require a disturbing amount of policing of users, which runs counter to the freedom users seek. Recent ecological theory suggests that outdoor recreation's view of nature as balanced when impacts are removed is outdated and incorrect. What is needed, and indeed Ryan presents, is a paradoxical and ecological view of humans as neither natural nor unnatural, a view that embraces some traces in nature.

Theorizing Built Form and Culture: The Legacy of Amos Rapoport (Routledge Research in Architecture)

In this collection of essays, Theorizing Built Form and Culture: The Legacy of Amos Rapoport – a felicitation volume to celebrate the significance of Professor Amos Rapoport's lifelong scholarship – scholars from around the world discuss the analytical relevance, expansion, and continuing application of these contributions in developing an advanced understanding of mutual relationships between people and built environments across cultures.Professor Amos Rapoport has espoused an intellectual and theoretical legacy on environmental design scholarship that explains how cultural factors play a significant role in the ways people create and use environments as well as the way environments, in turn, influence people’s behavior. This volume presents a hitherto-not-seen, unique, and singular work that simultaneously articulates a cohesive framework of Rapoport’s architectural theories and demonstrates how that theoretical approach be used in architectural inquiry, education, and practice across environmental scales, types, and cultural contexts. It also acknowledges, for the very first time, how this theoretical legacy has pioneered the decolonizing of the Eurocentric approaches to architectural inquiry and has thus privileged an inclusive, cross-cultural perspective that laid the groundwork to understand and analyze non-Western design traditions. The book thus reflects a wide range of cross-cultural and cross-contextual range to which Professor Rapoport’s theories apply, a general notion of theoretical validity he always advocated for in his own writings.The volume is a paramount source for scholars and students of architecture who are interested in understanding how culture mediates the creation, use, and preservation of the built environment.

Theories of Sustainable Development (Routledge Studies in Sustainable Development)

While sustainability has become a buzzword in discussions about the environment and development, work on theories of sustainable development has received much less attention. However, theory is vital as understanding the origins and development of the concept is the key to achieving successful implementation of sustainability. This book offers an interdisciplinary collection of research articles on the theories of sustainable development, drawing on a wide range of subjects including history, politics, governance, complex systems, economics and philosophy. It advocates viewing sustainable development not only as the establishment of a permanent, globally practicable and future-capable mode of life and economics, but as a complex array of problems involving a wide range of social-scientific and humanistic disciplines. This innovative approach means that the book is oriented toward current problems, not toward the established academic boundaries, and it draws out lessons that are relevant for those studying and working in sustainability across the world. This book will be of great interest to researchers and students of sustainable development and environmental politics, as well as practitioners working with sustainable development in politics, business, administration, and civil society organizations.

Theories of Endogenous Regional Growth: Lessons for Regional Policies (Advances in Spatial Science)

During the last two decades a new growth theory has emerged - often labelled "endogenous economic growth". The contributions in the book develop these advances into a theoretical framework for endogenous regional economic growth and explain the implications for regional economic policies in the perspective of the new century. Endogenous growth models can reflect increasing returns and hence refer more adequately to empirical observations than earlier models, and the models become policy relevant, because in endogenous growth models policy matters. Such policies comprise efforts to stimulate the growth of knowledge intensity of the labour supply and knowledge production in the form of R&D.

Theories of Change: Change Leadership Tools, Models and Applications for Investing in Sustainable Development (Sustainable Finance)

Today, it has become strikingly obvious that companies no longer operate in an environment where only risk return and volatility describe the business environment. The business has to deal with volatility plus uncertainty, plus complexity and ambiguity (VUCA): that requires new qualities, competencies, frameworks; and it demands a new mind set to deal with the VUCA environment in investment, funding and financing. This book builds on a new megatrend beyond resilience, called anti-fragility. We have had the black swan (financial crisis) and the red swan (COVID) - the Bank for International Settlement is preparing for regenerative capitalism, block chain based analysis of financial streams and is aiming to prevent the “Green Swan” – the climate crisis to lead to the next lockdown. In the light of the UN 17 Sustainable Development Goals, what is required, is Theories of Change.Written by experts working in the fields of sustainable finance, impact investing, development finance, carbon divesting, innovation, scaling finance, impact entrepreneurship, social stock exchanges, alternative currencies, Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs), ledger technologies, civil action, co-creation, impact management, deep learning and transformation leadership, the book begins by analysing existing Theories of Change frameworks from various disciplines and creating a new integrated model – the meta-framework. In turn, it presents insights on creating and using Theories of Change to redirect investment capital to sustainable companies while implementing the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Climate Agreement. Further, it discusses the perspective of planetary boundaries as defined by the Stockholm Resilience Institute, and investigates various aspects of systems, organizations, entrepreneurship, investment and finance that are closely tied to the mission ingrained in the Theory of Change. As it demonstrates, solutions that ensure the parity of profit, people and planet through dynamic change can effectively address the needs of entrepreneurs and business. By exploring these concepts and their application, the book helps create and shape new markets and opportunities.

Theories in Ecological Risk Assessment (Theoretical Biology)

This book introduces various mathematical models used in ecological risk assessment, primarily discussing models used in hazard assessment. The book aims to link ecology and conservation biology with risk assessments, bringing together the knowledge of ecotoxicology and ecology for effective risk assessment. The first part describes population-level assessment in ecological risk assessment. The chapters cover current methodologies for ecological risk assessment, individual-level assessment, population dynamics models for population-level assessment, case studies, mathematical models for population extinctions, the derivation of mean time to extinction (MTE) and their case studies. The second part of the book discusses the mathematical models involved in hazard assessments. It introduces the method of risk assessment using species sensitivity distributions (SSDs), hazard assessment of metals, chemical mixtures using the Michaelis-Menten equation, basic elements of statistics and related topics. Expected readers are risk assessors in governments and public sectors, students and young researchers interested in environmental science. The book is made accessible and easy to follow by beginners in mathematical biology and theoretical ecology.

Theories and Practices of Development

Global economic crisis and the implications of global environmental change have led academics and policy-makers to consider how ‘development’ in all parts of the world should be achieved. However, ‘development’ has always been a contested idea. While often presented as a positive process to improve people’s lives, the potential negative dimensions of ‘development’ on people and environments must also be recognized. Theories and Practices of Development provides a clear and user-friendly introduction to the complex debates around how development has been understood and achieved. The second edition has been fully updated and expanded to reflect global political and economic shifts, as well as new approaches to development. The rise of China and India is given particular attention, as is the global economic crisis and its implications for development theories and practice. There are new sections on faith-based development, and the development dimensions of climate change, as well as greater engagement with development theories as they are put into practice in the Global North. The book deals with the evolution of development ideas and policies, focusing on economic, political, social, environmental and spatial dimensions. It highlights how development cannot be considered as a neutral concept, but is entwined with inequalities in power at local, as well as national and global scales. The use of boxed examples, tables and illustrations helps students understand complex theoretical ideas and also demonstrates how development theories are put into practice in the real world. Each chapter ends with a summary section, discussion topics, suggestions for further reading and website resources.

Theories and Models of Urbanization: Geography, Economics and Computing Sciences (Lecture Notes in Morphogenesis)

This book provides a thorough discussion about fundamental questions regarding urban theories and modeling. It is a curated collection of contributions to a workshop held in Paris on October 12th and 13th 2017 at the Institute of Complex Systems by the team of ERC GeoDiverCity. There are several chapters conveying the answers given by single authors to problems of conceptualization and modeling and others in which scholars reply to their conception and question them. Even, the chapters transcribing keynote presentations were rewritten according to contributions from the respective discussions. The result is a complete “state of the art” of what is our knowledge about urban processes and their possible formalization.

Theorie und Numerik elliptischer Differentialgleichungen

Das Verständnis der numerischen Behandlung elliptischer Differentialgleichungen erfordert notwendigerweise auch die Kenntnisse der Theorie der Differentialgleichungen. Deshalb behandelt das Buch beide parallel. Zunächst wird der klassische Zugang (starke Lösungen, Differenzenverfahren) beschrieben. Dem Maximum-Minimum-Prinzip auf der theoretischen Seite entsprechen beispielsweise die Eigenschaften der M-Matrizen, die sich bei der Diskretisierung ergeben. Nach einem Exkurs über die Funktionalanalysis werden die Variationsformulierung und die Finite-Element-Diskretisierungen behandelt. Weitere Themen sind die Analyse der Diskretisierungen von Eigenwertaufgaben und die Stokes-Gleichungen mit den inf-sup-Bedingungen für die Finite-Element-Diskretisierung. Auf der theoretischen Seite wird die Regularität der Lösungen näher untersucht.Gegenüber der zweiten Auflage enthält der vorliegende Text zahlreiche Aktualisierungen, vor allem im Bereich der Finiten Elemente sowie in den Literaturangaben. Außerdem wurden die vollständigen Lösungen der Übungsaufgaben hinzugefügt.

Théorie spectrale et mécanique quantique (Mathématiques et Applications #87)

Ce livre présente la théorie spectrale des opérateurs auto-adjoints en dimension infinie ainsi que son application à la mécanique quantique. Le concept d'auto-adjonction, découvert par John von Neumann dans les années 1930, est bien plus subtil dans ce cadre que pour les matrices hermitiennes en dimension finie. Cet ouvrage peut aussi servir d’introduction mathématique à la mécanique quantique. De multiples exemples physiques servent ainsi à illustrer et motiver les théorèmes plus abstraits. Les deux derniers chapitres présentent des résultats plus récents concernant l'équation de Schrödinger pour les atomes, les molécules et les solides. Aucune connaissance physique n'est cependant requise pour lire ces pages. Premier livre en français sur le sujet destiné aux étudiants de Master, ce livre pourra accompagner un cours à ce niveau. Il devrait aussi être utile aux lecteurs plus avancés désirant en savoir plus sur cette théorie. *** This book presents the spectral theory of self-adjoint operators on Hilbert space, with applications to quantum mechanics. The concept of self-adjointness in infinite dimension was discovered by John von Neumann in the 1930s and it is much more involved than in the case of Hermitian matrices in finite dimension. The book also provides an introduction to quantum mechanics, suitable for students with a mathematics background. The presentation provides numerous physical examples illustrating the abstract theory. The last two chapters present recent results on Schrödinger’s equation for systems of particles. No previous knowledge of physics is required for the book.Based on the author’s teaching and intended for graduate courses, this French language textbook can also serve as a useful introduction to the topic for more advanced readers.

Theorie des Potentials und ihre Anwendungen auf Electrostatik und Magnetismus

Theorie der Wärme (Heidelberger Taschenbücher #10)

63 heit aufgefaßt werden muß. Dabei werden sich als Resultate von zentraler Be­ deutung ergeben: Diejenige Größe, welche die ganze Thermodynamik beherrscht, nämlich die Entropie, erweist sich als quantitatives Maß der soeben geschilderten Unkenntnis. Das ist fraglos eine der merkwürdigsten und tiefstliegenden Aus­ sagen der ganzen Physik. Sie wird natürlich nur sinnvoll durch eine exakte Formulierung, welche erst nach den Vorarbeiten der nächsten Abschnitte erfolgen kann. Ein beherrschender Zug der statistischen Mechanik besteht darin, daß die Zahl der mikroskopischen Freiheitsgrade - im wesentlichen gegeben durch die Zahl N der im System enthaltenen Atome - so ungeheuer groß ist. Obwohl mit wachsendem N unsere Kenntnis von der mikroskopischen Struktur immer geringer wird, werden dennoch die oben angedeuteten Wahrscheinlichkeitsaus­ sagen über makroskopische Größen um so schärfer, je größer N ist, in dem Sinne, daß wir im Limes N --* 00 wieder zu sicheren Aussagen gelangen. Dieser Zug der Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung ist so charakteristisch, daß wir ihn gleich jetzt an einem primitiven Beispiel erläutern wollen. Ein Gas bestehe aus N Molekülen, welche sich unabhängig voneinander in einem Volumen V bewegen (ideales Gas). Wir grenzen innerhalb V ein dagegen kleines Volumen v ab und interessieren uns für die Zahl n der Molekiile, welche sich in v aufhalten. Nennen wir und 1- P = q, ~=p so sind p bzw. q die Wahrscheinlichkeiten dafür, ein hervorgehobenes Molekül innerhalb bzw. außerhalb v zu finden.

Theorie der endlichen Gruppen: Eine Einführung (Springer-Lehrbuch)

Dieses Lehrbuch bietet einen modernen Zugang zur Theorie der endlichen Gruppen. Ohne große Vorkenntnisse wird der Leser mit den Grundlagen der Theorie vertraut gemacht und dann zu neueren Entwicklungen in der Gruppentheorie hingeführt, die unter dem Stichwort "lokale Strukturtheorie" zusammengefaßt werden können. Dabei berücksichtigen die Autoren die folgenden zwei Gesichtspunkte in besonderem Maße: Zum einen geben sie einen Einblick in eine Theorie, die völlig aus sich heraus eine Vielfalt an Methoden und Begriffen entwickelt hat und schließlich Anfang der achtziger Jahre zur Klassifikation der endlichen einfachen Gruppen führte. Zum anderen machen sie deutlich, daß diese Theorie weder abgeschlossen noch vollendet ist, sondern auch nach dieser Klassifikation weiterlebt und sich weiterentwickelt.
