The Analytic Field A Clinical Concept

The Analytic Field A Clinical Concept

Until now no book has ever attempted to compare and contrast contributions on analytic field theory and at the same time to explore its clinical and technical implications. This volume is intended for the first time to link together many of these writings and to provide an initial wide-ranging survey of the subject - for it is our contention that a theory of the field in various of its loci can also be inhabited by different theories. A particular aim of this book is to present not only theoretical discussions of field theory but also contributions on clinical work and technique. For this reason we have given preference to articles with a substantial clinical component which exemplify specific underlying technical theory. In the Babel of psychoanalytic languages clinical practice is in our view the most effective way of comparing psychoanalytic models. ' | The Analytic Field A Clinical Concept

Archaeological Field Schools A Guide for Teaching in the Field

Archaeological Field Schools A Guide for Teaching in the Field

The field school is often described as arite of passage among archaeologists. They are considered essential for the appropriate training of students for academic or professional archaeological careers and are perhaps the only universal experience in an increasingly diverse array of archaeological career paths. Jane Baxter‘s practical guide about how to run a successful field school offers archaeologists ways to maximize the educational and training benefits of these experiences. She presents a wide range of pedagogical theories and techniques that can be used to place field schools in an educational as well as an archaeological context. Baxter then offers ahow to guide for the design of field schools including logistical legal and personnel issues as well as strategies for integrating research and teaching in the field. Replete with checklists forms and cogent examples the author gives directors and staff a set ofbest practices for designing and implementing a school. | Archaeological Field Schools A Guide for Teaching in the Field

Quantum Field Theory Of Point Particles And Strings

Quantum Field Theory Of Point Particles And Strings

The purpose of this book is to introduce string theory without assuming any background in quantum field theory. Part I of this book follows the development of quantum field theory for point particles while Part II introduces strings. All of the tools and concepts that are needed to quantize strings are developed first for point particles. Thus Part I presents the main framework of quantum field theory and provides for a coherent development of the generalization and application of quantum field theory for point particles to strings. Part II emphasizes the quantization of the bosonic string. The treatment is most detailed in the path integral representation where the object of interest the partition function is a sum over random surfaces. The relevant mathematics of Riemann surfaces is covered. Superstrings are briefly introduced and the sum over genus 0 supersurfaces is computed. The emphasis of the book is calculational and most computations are presented in step-by-step detail. The book is unique in that it develops all three representations of quantum field theory (operator functional Schr�dinger and path integral) for point particles and strings. In many cases identical results are worked out in each representation to emphasize the representation-independent structures of quantum field theory. | Quantum Field Theory Of Point Particles And Strings

Quantitative Phase Field Modelling of Solidification

Quantitative Phase Field Modelling of Solidification

This book presents a study of phase field modelling of solidification in metal alloy systems. It is divided in two main themes. The first half discusses several classes of quantitative multi-order parameter phase field models for multi-component alloy solidification. These are derived in grand potential ensemble thus tracking solidification in alloys through the evolution of the chemical potentials of solute species rather than the more commonly used solute concentrations. The use of matched asymptotic analysis for making phase field models quantitative is also discussed at length and derived in detail in order to make this somewhat abstract topic accessible to students. The second half of the book studies the application of phase field modelling to rapid solidification where solute trapping and interface undercooling follow highly non-equilibrium conditions. In this limit matched asymptotic analysis is used to map phase field evolution equations onto the continuous growth model which is generally accepted as a sharp-interface description of solidification at rapid solidification rates. This book will be of interest to graduate students and researchers in materials science and materials engineering. Key Features Presents a clear path to develop quantitative multi-phase and multi-component phase field models for solidification and other phase transformation kinetics Derives and discusses the quantitative nature of the model formulations through matched interface asymptotic analysis Explores a framework for quantitative treatment of rapid solidification to control solute trapping and solute drag dynamics | Quantitative Phase Field Modelling of Solidification

Mean-Field-Type Games for Engineers

Mean-Field-Type Games for Engineers

The contents of this book comprise an appropriate background to start working and doing research on mean-field-type control and game theory. To make the exposition and explanation even easier we first study the deterministic optimal control and differential linear-quadratic games. Then we progressively add complexity step-by-step and little-by-little to the problem settings until we finally study and analyze mean-field-type control and game problems incorporating several stochastic processes e. g. Brownian motions Poisson jumps and random coefficients. We go beyond the Nash equilibrium which provides a solution for non- cooperative games by analyzing other game-theoretical concepts such as the Berge Stackelberg adversarial/robust and co-opetitive equilibria. For the mean-field-type game analysis we provide several numerical examples using a Matlab-based user-friendly toolbox that is available for the free use to the readers of this book. We present several engineering applications in both continuous and discrete time. Among these applications we find the following: water distribution systems micro-grid energy storage stirred tank reactor mechanism design for evolutionary dynamics multi-level building evacuation problem and the COVID-19 propagation control. With such a demand from engineering audiences this book is very timely and provides a thorough study of mean-field-type game theory. The strenuous protagonist of this book is to bridge between the theoretical findings and engineering solutions. The book introduces the basics first and then mathematical frameworks are elaborately explained. The engineering application examples are shown in detail and the popular learning approaches are also investigated. Those advantageous characteristics will make this book a comprehensive handbook of many engineering fields for many years and I will buy one when it gets published.

Field Theory of Nonimaging Optics

Field Theory of Nonimaging Optics

This book aims to overcome the traditional ray paradigm and provide an analytical paradigm for Nonimaging Optics based on Field Theory. As a second objective the authors address the connections between this Field Theory of Nonimaging Optics and other radiative transfer theories. The book introduces the Field Theory of Nonimaging Optics as a new analytical paradigm not statistical to analyze problems in the frame of nonimaging geometrical optics with a formulation based on field theory of irradiance vector D. This new paradigm provides new principles and tools in the optical system design methods complementary to flowline method overcoming the classical ray paradigm. This new Field paradigm can be considered as a generalization of the ray paradigm and new accurate and faster computation algorithms will be developed. In a parallel way the advance in the knowledge of the principles of Field Theory of Nonimaging Optics has produced clear advances in the connection between nonimaging optics and other apparently disconnected theories of radiation transfer. The irradiance vector D can be considered as the macroscopic average of Poynting vector with a clear connection with radiation pressure. Lorentz geometry techniques can also be applied to study irradiance vector D. There are clear thermodynamic connections between the nonimaging concentrator and Stefan-Boltzmann law of radiation. From this thermodynamic connection nonimaging optics and irradiance vector D can also be studied from a phase space point of view. This book is intended for researchers graduate students academics and professionals looking to analyze design and optimize optical systems.

God and the Book of Nature Experiments in Theology of Science

God and the Book of Nature Experiments in Theology of Science

God and the Book of Nature develops theological views of the natural sciences in light of the recent theological turn in science-and-religion scholarship and the ‘science-engaged theology’ movement. Centered around the Book of Nature metaphor it brings together contributions by theologians natural scientists and philosophers based in Europe and North America. They provide an exploration of complementary (and even contesting) readings of the Book of Nature particularly in light of the vexing questions that arise around essentialism and unity in the field of science and religion. Taking an experimental and open-ended approach the volume does not attempt to unify the readings into a single ‘plot’ that defines the Book of Nature still less a single ‘theology of nature’ but instead it represents a variety of hermeneutical stances. Overall the book embraces a constructive theological attitude toward the modern sciences and makes significant contributions to the research literature in science and religion. | God and the Book of Nature Experiments in Theology of Science

The Field Guide to Human Error Investigations

The Field Guide to Human Error Investigations

This title was first published in 2002: This field guide assesses two views of human error - the old view in which human error becomes the cause of an incident or accident or the new view in which human error is merely a symptom of deeper trouble within the system. The two parts of this guide concentrate on each view leading towards an appreciation of the new view in which human error is the starting point of an investigation rather than its conclusion. The second part of this guide focuses on the circumstances which unfold around people which causes their assessments and actions to change accordingly. It shows how to reverse engineer human error which like any other componant needs to be put back together in a mishap investigation. | The Field Guide to Human Error Investigations

The Experimental Book Object Materiality Media Design

The Experimental Book Object Materiality Media Design

The Experimental Book Object shows why and how books matter in the 21st century. Digital and audio platforms are commonplace and other fields of art beyond literature have increasingly embraced books and publication as their medium of choice. Nevertheless the manifold book object persists and continues to inspire various types of experimentation. This volume sets forth an unprecedented approach where literary and media theory are entangled with design practitioners’ artistic research and process descriptions. By probing the paradigm of the codex this collection of essays focuses on historical and contemporary experimentation that has challenged what books are and could be from the perspectives of materiality mediation and visual and typographic design. Investigations into less-studied areas and cases of performativity demonstrate what experimental books do by interacting with their systemic and cultural environments. The volume offers a multifaceted and multidisciplinary view of the book object the book design and publishing processes and their significance in the digital age. | The Experimental Book Object Materiality Media Design
