 Simulations in the Political Science Classroom: Games without Frontiers English | 2023 | ISBN: 0367699761 | 319 Pages | PDF (True) | 6 MB This book is premised on the assumption that games and simulations provide welcome alternatives and supplements to traditional lectures and class discussions-especially in political science classrooms, where real-world circumstances provide ideal applications of theory and policy prescriptions. Implementing such an active learning program, however, is sometimes daunting to overburdened professors and teaching assistants. This book addresses the challenges of using games and simulations in the political science classroom, both online and in person. Each chapter offers a game or simulation that politics teachers can use to teach course concepts and explains ways to execute it effectively. In addition, the authors in this volume make a proactive case for games and simulations. Each chapter offers research to evaluate the effectiveness of the activity and pedagogical design best practices. Thus, the book not only serves as a game design resource, but also offers demonstrable support for using games and simulations in the political science classroom. Aimed at teachers at all levels, from high school through college, the book may be especially appealing to graduate students entering teaching for the first time and open to new teaching and learning approaches.  Hiroshi Takayama, "Sicily and the Mediterranean in the Middle Ages " English | ISBN: 1138496197 | 2019 | 394 pages | EPUB | 5 MB This book is a collection of milestone articles of a leading scholar in the study of the Norman Kingdom of Sicily, a crossroads of Latin-Christian, Greek-Byzantine, and Arab-Islamic cultures and one of the most fascinating but also one of the most neglected kingdoms in the medieval world. Some of his articles were published in influential journals such as English Historical Review, Viator, Mediterranean Historical Review, and Papers of the British School at Rome, while others appeared in hard-to-obtain festschrifts, proceedings of international conferences, and so on. The articles included here, based on analysis of Latin, Greek, and Arabic documents as well as multi-lingual parchments, explore subjects of interest in medieval Mediterranean world such as Norman administrations, multi-cultural courts, Christian-Muslim diplomacy, conquests and migrations, religious tolerance and conflicts, cross-cultural contacts, and so forth. Some of them dig deep into curious specific topics, while others settle disputes among scholars and correct our antiquated interpretations. His attention to the administrative structure of the kingdom of Sicily, whose bureaucracy was staffed by Greeks, Muslims and Latins, has been a particularly important part of his work, where he has engaged in major debates with other scholars in the field.  Aziza Khazzoom, "Shifting Ethnic Boundaries and Inequality in Israel: Or, How the Polish Peddler Became a German Intellectual " English | ISBN: 080475697X | 2008 | 360 pages | EPUB | 5 MB Why do racial and ethnic groups discriminate against each other? The most common sociological answer is that they want to monopolize scarce resources―good jobs or top educations―for themselves. This book offers a different answer, showing that racial and ethnic discrimination can also occur to preserve particular group identities.  Sheet Pan Science: 25 Fun, Simple Science Experiments for the Kitchen Table; Super-Easy Setup and Cleanup English | 2022 | ISBN: 0760375674 | 372 Pages | EPUB | 18 MB Each project in the book contains simple instructions, easy-to-understand science explanations, and step-by-step photographic guides. While a stovetop or freezer may occasionally be required, most steps of the experiments can be performed directly on a rimmed baking sheet.  J. Azema, M. Emery, M. Ledoux, "Seminaire de Probabilites XXXV" English, French | 2001 | pages: 433 | ISBN: 3540416595 | DJVU | 2,6 mb Researchers and graduate students in the theory of stochastic processes will find in this 35th volume some thirty articles on martingale theory, martingales and finance, analytical inequalities and semigroups, stochastic differential equations, functionals of Brownian motion and of Lévy processes. Ledoux's article contains a self-contained introduction to the use of semigroups in spectral gaps and logarithmic Sobolev inequalities; the contribution by Emery and Schachermayer includes an exposition for probabilists of Vershik's theory of backward discrete filtrations.  Takashi Suzuki, "Semilinear Elliptic Equations: Classical and Modern Theories " English | ISBN: 3110555352 | 2020 | 450 pages | PDF | 4 MB The series is devoted to the publication of high-level monographs which cover the whole spectrum of current nonlinear analysis and applications in various fields, such as optimization, control theory, systems theory, mechanics, engineering, and other sciences. One of its main objectives is to make available to the professional community expositions of results and foundations of methods that play an important role in both the theory and applications of nonlinear analysis. Contributions which are on the borderline of nonlinear analysis and related fields and which stimulate further research at the crossroads of these areas are particularly welcome.  Self-Organised Schools : Educational Leadership and Innovative Learning Environments by Alberto F. De Toni and Stefano De Marchi  J. Herwanger, "Seismic geomechanics : how to build and calibrate geomechanical models using 3D and 4D seismic data" English | 2011 | pages: 195 | ISBN: 9073834104 | PDF | 11,7 mb  D.J. Verschuur, "Seismic Multiple Removal Techniques: Past, present and future. Revised Edition" English | 2013 | pages: 246 | ISBN: 9073834562 | PDF | 18,0 mb This book is also used as course material for a short course, given by the author. For more information, click here Multiple reflections have been a major problem since the beginning of seismic exploration. In the last five decades a range of methods have been developed to suppress these refl ections and enhance the primaries. This book provides an overview of these techniques, starting with the deconvolution-based methods from the 1960s, via the move-out discrimination techniques of the 1980s and ending up with wave-equation based methods from the 1990s and their 3D extensions as developed in the 2000s. Furthermore, the current challenges in multiple removal and their relation with seismic imaging and inversion are treated. Besides this overview, the book also discusses processing concepts that are required to better understand various technologies, such as high-resolution seismic data transforms (Fourier, Radon), adaptive fi ltering techniques, wave-equation based forward and inverse wave propagation and the processing of seismic data in different transform domains. The emphasis is not to thoroughly treat the mathematics but to present some understanding of the physical concepts behind each method, illustrated with clear examples.  Security, Privacy, and Applied Cryptography Engineering: Third International Conference, SPACE 2013, Kharagpur, India, October 19-23, 2013. Proceedings By Patrick Schaumont, Aydin Aysu (auth.), Benedikt Gierlichs, Sylvain Guilley, Debdeep Mukhopadhyay (eds.) 2013 | 191 Pages | ISBN: 3642412238 | PDF | 3 MB This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Conference on Security, Privacy and Applied Cryptography Engineering held in Kharagpur, India, in October 2013.
