Urban Resilience in a Global Context: Actors, Narratives, and Temporalities
Urban Resilience is seen by many as a tool to mitigate harm in times of extreme social, political, financial, and environmental stress. Despite its widespread usage, however, resilience is used in different ways by policy makers, activists, academics, and practitioners. Some see it as a key to unlocking a more stable and secure urban future in times of extreme global insecurity; for others, it …

Theory of Control Systems Described by Differential Inclusions
This book provides a brief introduction to the theory of finite dimensional differential inclusions, and deals in depth with control of three kinds of differential inclusion systems. The authors introduce the algebraic decomposition of convex processes, the stabilization of polytopic systems, and observations of Luré systems. They also introduce the elemental theory of finite dimensional diffe…

Stimulation and Recording Electrodes for Neural Prostheses
In prosthetic devices, electrodes are the interfaces between the implant system and the body. Electrodes may be used for neural stimulation or neural signal recording according to the application. The signals to be recorded are typically small, i.e. some tens of microvolts for single pulse activity to a maximum amplitude of around 80 mV for intracellular potentials measured for example by f…

Theoretical and Observational Consistency of Massive Gravity
This work is a detailed study of both the theoretical and phenomenological consequences of a massive graviton, within the ghost-free theory of massive gravity, the de Rham-Gabadadze-Tolley (dRGT) theory. Its aim is to test the physical viability of the theory. It begins by putting constraints on the parameters of the theory in the decoupling limit based on purely theoretical grounds, like class…

Narrative Mechanics: Strategies and Meanings in Games and Real Life
What do stories in games have in common with political narratives?This book identifies narrative strategies as mechanisms for meaning and manipulation in games and real life. It shows that the narrative mechanics so clearly identifiable in games are increasingly used (and abused) in politics and social life. They have »many faces«, displays and interfaces. They occur as texts, recipes, storie…
