Beyond First Order Model Theory Volume I and II

Beyond First Order Model Theory Volume I and II

Model theory is the meta-mathematical study of the concept of mathematical truth. After Afred Tarski coined the term Theory of Models in the early 1950’s it rapidly became one of the central most active branches of mathematical logic. In the last few decades ideas that originated within model theory have provided powerful tools to solve problems in a variety of areas of classical mathematics including algebra combinatorics geometry number theory and Banach space theory and operator theory. The two volumes of Beyond First Order Model Theory present the reader with a fairly comprehensive vista rich in width and depth of some of the most active areas of contemporary research in model theory beyond the realm of the classical first-order viewpoint. Each chapter is intended to serve both as an introduction to a current direction in model theory and as a presentation of results that are not available elsewhere. All the articles are written so that they can be studied independently of one another. The first volume is an introduction to current trends in model theory and contains a collection of articles authored by top researchers in the field. It is intended as a reference for students as well as senior researchers. This second volume contains introductions to real-valued logic and applications abstract elementary classes and applications interconnections between model theory and function spaces nonstucture theory and model theory of second-order logic. Features A coherent introduction to current trends in model theory. Contains articles by some of the most influential logicians of the last hundred years. No other publication brings these distinguished authors together. Suitable as a reference for advanced undergraduate postgraduates and researchers. Material presented in the book (e. g abstract elementary classes first-order logics with dependent sorts and applications of infinitary logics in set theory) is not easily accessible in the current literature. The various chapters in the book can be studied independently. | Beyond First Order Model Theory Volume I and II

Mapping the Total Value Stream A Comprehensive Guide for Production and Transactional Processes

Mapping the Total Value Stream A Comprehensive Guide for Production and Transactional Processes

Mapping the Total Value Stream defines and elaborates on the concepts of value stream mapping (VSM) for both production and transactional processes. This book reshapes and extends the lessons originally put forward in a number of pioneering works including the popular Value Stream Management for the Lean Office. It reinforces fundamental concepts and theoretical models with real-world applications and complete examples of the value stream mapping technique. To educate VSM mappers on the specific mechanics of the technique the text provides in-depth explanations for commonly encountered situations. The authors also provide a more complete perspective on the concept of availability. While they discuss availability of equipment in transactional processes they extend the concept by elaborating on availability as it applies to employees. The calculation of process lead time for work queues is taken to an advanced level � not only is the calculation of this lead time explained but the text also covers the very real possibility of having more work in the queue than available time. While previous books have focused on only production process VSM or transactional process VSM this work meets the real needs of both manufacturers and service sector organizations by dealing with both types. It goes beyond explaining each scenario to teach readers what techniques are commonly applicable to both and also explains areas of difference so that mappers will be able to readily adapt to whatever unique situations present themselves. | Mapping the Total Value Stream A Comprehensive Guide for Production and Transactional Processes

Adaptive Thermal Comfort: Principles and Practice

Adaptive Thermal Comfort: Principles and Practice

The fundamental function of buildings is to provide safe and healthy shelter. For the fortunate they also provide comfort and delight. In the twentieth century comfort became a 'product' produced by machines and run on cheap energy. In a world where fossil fuels are becoming ever scarcer and more expensive and the climate more extreme the challenge of designing comfortable buildings today requires a new approach. This timely book is the first in a trilogy from leaders in the field which will provide just that. It explains in a clear and comprehensible manner how we stay comfortable by using our bodies minds buildings and their systems to adapt to indoor and outdoor conditions which change with the weather and the climate. The book is in two sections. The first introduces the principles on which the theory of adaptive thermal comfort is based. The second explains how to use field studies to measure thermal comfort in practice and to analyze the data gathered. Architects have gradually passed responsibility for building performance to service engineers who are largely trained to see comfort as the �product� designed using simplistic comfort models. The result has contributed to a shift to buildings that use ever more energy. A growing international consensus now calls for low-energy buildings. This means designers must first produce robust passive structures that provide occupants with many opportunities to make changes to suit their environmental needs. Ventilation using free natural energy should be preferred and mechanical conditioning only used when the climate demands it. This book outlines the theory of adaptive thermal comfort that is essential to understand and inform such building designs. This book should be required reading for all students teachers and practitioners of architecture building engineering and management � for all who have a role in producing and occupying twenty-first century adaptive low-car | Adaptive Thermal Comfort: Principles and Practice

The Routledge Handbook of Classics and Queer Theory

The Routledge Handbook of Classics and Queer Theory

New directions in queer theory continue to trouble the boundaries of both queerness and the classical leading to an explosion of new work in the vast—and increasingly uncharted—intersection between these disciplines which this interdisciplinary volume seeks to explore. This handbook convenes an international group of experts who work on the classical world and queer theory. The discipline of Classics has been involved with and implicated in queer theory from the start. By placing front and center the rejection of heteronormativity queer theory has provided Classics with a powerful tool for analyzing non-normative sexual and gender relations in the ancient West while Classics offers queer theory ancient material (such as literature visual arts and social practices) that challenges a wide range of modern normative categories. The collection demonstrates the vitality of this particular moment in queer classical studies featuring an expansive array of methodologies applied to the interdisciplinary field of Classics. Embracing the indeterminacy that lies at the core of queer studies the essays in this volume are organized not by chronology or genre but rather by overlapping categories under the following rubrics: queer subjectivities queer times and places queer kinships queer receptions and ancient pasts/queer futures. The Routledge Handbook of Classics and Queer Theory offers an invaluable collection for anyone working on queer theory especially as it applies to premodern periods; it will also be of interest to scholars engaging with the history of sexuality both in the ancient world and more broadly.

Routledge Handbook of Cultural Landscape Practice

Routledge Handbook of Cultural Landscape Practice

Cultural landscapes which in the field of heritage studies and practice relates to caring for and safeguarding heritage landscapes is a concept embedded in contemporary conservation. Heritage conservation has shifted from an historical focus on buildings city centres and archaeological sites to encompass progressively more diverse forms of heritage and increasingly larger geographic areas embracing both rural and urban landscapes. While the origin of the idea of cultural landscapes can be traced to the late-19th century Euro-American scholarship it came to global attention after 1992 following its adoption as a category of ‘site’ by the UNESCO World Heritage Committee. Today cultural landscape practice has become increasingly complex given the expansion of the values and meanings of heritage the influence of environmental challenges such as human induced climate change technological advancements and the need to better understand and interpret human connections to place and landscapes. The aim of this handbook is to strike a balance between theory and practice which we see as inseparable while also seeking to achieve a geographical spread disciplinary diversity and perspectives and a mix of authors from academic practitioner management and community backgrounds. | Routledge Handbook of Cultural Landscape Practice
