Free Download Adaptive Urban Transformation: Urban Landscape Dynamics, Regional Design and Territorial Governance in the Pearl River Delta, China by Steffen Nijhuis, Yimin Sun, Eckart Lange
English | EPUB | 2023 | 315 Pages | ISBN : 303089827X | 162.1 MB
This book provides a cross-sectoral, integrative and multi-scale design and planning approach for adaptive urban transformation of fast urbanising deltas, taking the Pearl River Delta (China) as a case study. Deltaic areas are among the most promising regions in the world. Their strategic location and superior quality of their soils are core factors supporting both human development and the rise of these regions as global economic hubs. At the same time, however, deltas are extremely vulnerable to multiple threats from both climate change and urbanisation. These include an increased flood risk combined with the resulting loss of ecological and social-cultural values. To ensure a more sustainable future for these areas, spatial strategies are needed to strengthen resilience, i.e. help the systems to cope with their vulnerabilities as well as enhance their capacity to overcome natural and artificial threats.

Free Download Xizheng Ke, Pengfei Wu, "Adaptive Optics Theory and Its Application in Optical Wireless Communication"
English | 2022 | ISBN: 9811679002, 9811679037 | PDF | pages: 387 | 16.8 mb
This book introduces in detail the theory of adaptive optics and its correction technology for light wave distortion in wireless optical communication. It discusses the adaptive control algorithm of wavefront distortion, proportional+integral control algorithm and iterative control algorithm, and double fuzzy adaptive PID control algorithm. It also covers the SPGD algorithm of adaptive optics correction, deformable mirrors eigenmode method of wavefront aberration correction, vortex beam wavefront detecting wavefront aberration correction, liquid crystal spatial light modulator wavefront correction, different wavelengths of Gaussian beam transmission wavefront differences in the atmospheric turbulence and correction and with wavefront tilt correction adaptive optics wavefront aberration correction. Various distortion correction methods are verified by experiments and the experimental results are analyzed.

Free Download Adaptive Filter Theory By Simon Haykin
2014 | 907 Pages | ISBN: 013267145X | PDF | 21 MB
The subject of adaptive filters constitutes an important part of statistical signal processing. Whenever there is a requirement to process signals that result from operation in anenvironment of unknown statistics or one that is inherently nonstationary, the use ofan adaptive filter offers a highly attractive solution to the problem as it provides a significant improvement in performance over the use of a fixed filter designed by conventional methods. Furthermore, the use of adaptive filters provides new signal-processingcapabilities that would not be possible otherwise. We thus find that adaptive filters havebeen successfully applied in such diverse fields as communications, control, radar, sonar,seismology, and biomedical engineering, among others.

Free Download Jeffrey T. Young, "Adam Smith's Theory of Value and Distribution "
English | ISBN: 1032373016 | 2023 | 232 pages | EPUB, PDF | 2 MB + 2 MB
Ever since the time of his early interpreters, beginning with David Hume, Adam Smith's theory of value has been the subject of confusion and misunderstanding―including a controversy which still rages over whether Smith held a labour theory of value, and, if so, whether he held to it throughout Wealth of Nations, or if it was confined to the "Early and Rude State"? This book provides a close reading of Smith's key text, and also incorporates material from the other parts of Smith's oeuvre, especially from The Theory of Moral Sentiments, to yield original and important insights into Smith's theory of value. The book operates on the assumption that Smith is proposing relatively simple ideas about price and takes a conventional view that simple Supply and Demand models can illuminate, clearly and consistently with his text, his theory of price. Combining these elements, the book argues that, contra Marx, Smith does not have a labour theory of value at all, understood as a theory of the determination of the relative price structure. Instead, Smith is placed squarely in the supply and demand, general equilibrium framework and the claim that he is part of a "surplus tradition", which receives its highest treatment in the work of Piero Sraffa, is refuted. This book will be of particular interest to Adam Smith specialists, historians of economic thought, and research economists who have an interest in Smith.

Free Download Action at a Distance: Studies in the Practicalities of Executive Management By Robert John Anderson, Wes W. Sharrock
2018 | 194 Pages | ISBN: 1351381482 | PDF | 3 MB
This book examines the nature of work and management, centring on documents as a class of management objects which have been relatively understudied in ethnomethodological research. Treating documents and similar artefacts as ordering devices, the authors describe consociation - the social organisation of patterns of coordinated action in situations where the usual resources of face to face communication are absent. With a focus on senior managers, this volume provides a description of the interior configuration of the world of senior management as the encountered, everyday experience of managing, drawing on first person experience rather than ethnographic fieldwork to shed new light on the importance of third person reflection upon practical understandings. An innovative study of the social character of such management objects as spreadsheets, strategic plans, computational models and charts, Action at a Distance will appeal to scholars of sociology with interests in ethnomethodology, the sociology of work and method in the social sciences.
