Taking South Africa as an important case study of the challenges of structural transformation, the book offers a new micro-meso level framework and evidence linking country-specific and global dynamics of change, with a focus on the current challenges and opportunities faced by middle-income countries. Detailed analyses of industry groupings and interests in South Africa reveal the complex set …
This book presents the first algebraic treatment of quasi-truth fuzzy logic and covers the algebraic foundations of many-valued logic. It offers a comprehensive account of basic techniques and reports on important results showing the pivotal role played by perfect many-valued algebras (MV-algebras). It is well known that the first-order predicate Łukasiewicz logic is not complete with respect…
True bugs (Heteroptera) are a diverse and complex group of plant-feeding and predatory insects important to food production, human health, the global economy and the environment. Within the nearly 43,000 species described around the world, Neotropical true bugs are particularly diverse, and much remains to be discovered about their biology and relations with other species. Inspired by the need…
Reviews the most intriguing applications of fractal analysis in neuroscience with a focus on current and future potential, limits, advantages, and disadvantages. Will bring an understanding of fractals to clinicians and researchers also if they do not have a mathematical background, and will serve as a good tool for teaching the translational applications of computational models to students and…
Masalah investasi untuk mencapai hasil yang lebih tinggi dan pada saat yang sama mengurangi risiko adalah masalah yang sangat kompleks dan tidak deterministik. Hal ini menarik perhatian ilmu komputer pada umumnya dan kecerdasan artifikasi pada khususnya untuk mengatasi masalah investasi keuangan. Para ilmuwan dan insinyur menggunakan kecerdasan artifikasi untuk membuat algoritma untuk mengelo…
This book develops the basic content for an introductory course in Mechanism and Machine Theory. The text is clear and simple, supported by more than 350 figures. More than 60 solved exercises have been included to mark the translation of this book from Spanish into English. Topics treated include: dynamic analysis of machines; introduction to vibratory behavior; rotor and piston balanced; cri…
Fixed income volatility and equity volatility evolve heterogeneously over time, co-moving disproportionately during periods of global imbalances and each reacting to events of different nature. While the methodology for options-based "model-free" pricing of equity volatility has been known for some time, little is known about analogous methodologies for pricing various fixed income volatilities…
Buku ini dirancang khusus untuk fisikawan dan insinyur perangkat optoelektronik yang tertarik untuk memasukkan perhitungan kuantum ke dalam proses pemodelan dan pengembangan mereka. Meskipun para profesional ini memiliki pemahaman yang kuat tentang dasar-dasar mekanika kuantum dan relevansinya dengan bidang mereka, keterbatasan waktu sering kali membatasi keterlibatan mereka pada perhitungan da…
Proses yang diinduksi foto dalam asam nukleat memainkan peran penting dalam biosfer kita. Paparan radiasi sinar ultraviolet (UV) matahari yang terus menerus telah memberikan tekanan evolusioner sejak tahap awal kehidupan, yang menyebabkan mutasi, kematian sel, dan bahkan karsinogenesis. Mempelajari dampak radiasi UV terhadap asam nukleat memiliki sejarah yang panjang, sejalan dengan pemahaman k…
Studi tentang proses fotoinduksi dalam asam nukleat sangat penting bagi biosfer kita. Radiasi matahari ultraviolet (UV) telah memberikan tekanan evolusioner sejak tahap awal kehidupan, menyebabkan mutasi, kematian sel, dan bahkan karsinogenesis. Pemahaman kita tentang bagaimana radiasi UV mempengaruhi asam nukleat telah berkembang seiring dengan pemahaman kita tentang genetika. Namun, baru dala…
