Kinetic Formulation of Conservation Laws

Kinetic Formulation of Conservation Laws

Benoit Perthame

Clarendon Press
2002
sidottu
This book gives a general presentation of the mathematical and numerical connections kinetic theory and conservation laws based on several earlier works with P. L. Lions and E. Tadmor, as well as on more recent developments. The kinetic formalism approach allows the reader to consider Partial Differential Equations, such as some nonlinear conservation laws, as linear kinetic (or semi-kinetic) equations acting on a nonlinear quantity. It also aids the reader with using Fourier transform, regularisation, and moments methods to provide new approaches for proving uniqueness, regularizing effects, and a priori bounds. Special care has been given to introduce basic tools, including the classical Boltzmann formalism to derive compressible fluid dynamics, the study of oscillatons through the kinetic defect measure, and an elementary construction of solutions to scalar conservation laws. More advanced material contains regularizing effects through averaging lemmas, existence of global large solutions to isentropic gas dynamics, and a new uniqueness proof for scalar conservation laws. Sections are also devoted to the derivation of numerical approaches, the 'kinetic schemes', and the analysis of their theoretical properties.

Environmental Assessment as a Tool for Climate Change Mitigation

Environmental Assessment as a Tool for Climate Change Mitigation

Benoit Mayer

Oxford University Press
2024
sidottu
Most governments have established procedures to appraise the environmental impacts of proposed activities. The focus of these environmental assessment procedures has long been on local environmental issues, such as air, water, and land pollution, which have a direct and concrete effect on communities. In recent years, however, these procedures have increasingly been used to consider how activities could result in the emission of greenhouse gases and exacerbate climate change. Environmental Assessment as a Tool for Climate Change Mitigation builds on a broad survey of over one hundred national environmental assessment practices - legislation, guiding documents, cases, and administrative practice - to reflect on the main conceptual and practical issues facing climate assessment. By presenting and discussing jurisdictional developments and national debates in a global comparative perspective, this book aims to enrich our collective understanding of the modalities of and, ultimately, the mitigation opportunities arising from, the use of climate assessment in relation to proposed activities. The author concludes this timely and forward-looking volume by identifying good practices that lawmakers, regulators, national agencies, judges, and lawyers should consider when developing and applying the law on climate assessment.

L'heure Des Pétitions Est Passée

L'heure Des Pétitions Est Passée

Benoit Marsan

MCGILL-QUEEN'S UNIVERSITY PRESS
2026
nidottu
Au cours de l'entre-deux-guerres au Québec, les luttes des sans-travail jouent un rôle déterminant dans la politisation du problème du chômage. Ce sujet devient alors un enjeu à la fois collectif, social et politique remettant en question la relation entre la démocratie et le capitalisme, en plus de participer au processus de formation de l'État. Ces mobilisations, jumelées à celles qui se déroulent ailleurs au Canada, expliquent pourquoi le chômage devient une question d'importance qui est soudainement débattue largement dans la sphère publique. Après la Première Guerre mondiale, les manifestations prennent racine à Montréal pour ensuite s'étendre à d'autres villes québécoises au cours de la Grande Dépression. En attirant l'attention des autorités, elles contribuent à poser un regard différent sur le chômage et la pauvreté en plus de forcer une intervention étatique accrue. L'heure des pétitions est passée explore le répertoire d'action collective et l'économie morale des sans-travail afin de mieux comprendre leur rôle dans l'histoire du chômage. Considérant que leur incapacité à trouver un travail est indépendante de leur volonté, les protestataires formulent des revendications annonçant une redéfinition de la citoyenneté comprenant de nouvelles attentes envers l'État. De ce fait, ils considèrent avoir droit à une protection sociale leur permettant de satisfaire leurs besoins fondamentaux. S'inscrivant dans une démarche d'histoire vue d'en bas, L'heure des pétitions est passée démontre le pouvoir de l'agentivité collective des gens ordinaires, ainsi que leur rôle dans les processus de transformations sociales.

You’ve Changed

You’ve Changed

Benoit Denizet-Lewis

PENGUIN BOOKS LTD
2026
pokkari
A compelling examination of the contemporary art of self-transformation, from the New York Times bestselling author As obsessed as we are with change, we’re also often wildly suspicious of those who claim to have pulled it off. In You’ve Changed, Benoit Denizet-Lewis shows how so much of what we think we know about self-transformation is wrong. Profound change is often less self-reinvention than self-discovery, and personal change isn’t always so personal — it’s better understood as a hazardous team sport. Drawing on insights from psychologists, neuroscientists and spiritual teachers, Denizet-Lewis confronts our ambivalent relationship with change by taking us inside the lives of people who’ve transformed themselves — or say they have. From psychedelic reality benders to political converters, from a seemingly transformed murderer to a bully-turned-Buddhist, Denizet-Lewis brings curiosity, empathy and humour to this compelling investigation of the many ways we try to reimagine ourselves — and what’s at stake when we do. You’ve Changed challenges us to think more deeply about how real transformation happens and is essential reading for anyone who’s ever wanted to change something meaningful about themselves, or someone they love.

Models of Innovation

Models of Innovation

Benoît Godin

MIT Press
2017
sidottu
Benoit Godin is a Professor at the Institut national de la recherche scientifique, Montreal.Models abound in science, technology, and society (STS) studies and in science, technology, and innovation (STI) studies. They are continually being invented, with one author developing many versions of the same model over time. At the same time, models are regularly criticized. Such is the case with the most influential model in STS-STI: the linear model of innovation.In this book, Benoit Godin examines the emergence and diffusion of the three most important conceptual models of innovation from the early twentieth century to the late 1980s: stage models, linear models, and holistic models. Godin first traces the history of the models of innovation constructed during this period, considering why these particular models came into being and what use was made of them. He then rethinks and debunks the historical narratives of models developed by theorists of innovation. Godin documents a greater diversity of thinkers and schools than in the conventional account, tracing a genealogy of models beginning with anthropologists, industrialists, and practitioners in the first half of the twentieth century to their later formalization in STS-STI.Godin suggests that a model is a conceptualization, which could be narrative, or a set of conceptualizations, or a paradigmatic perspective, often in pictorial form and reduced discursively to a simplified representation of reality. Why are so many things called models? Godin claims that model has a rhetorical function. First, a model is a symbol of "scientificity." Second, a model travels easily among scholars and policy makers. Calling a conceptualization or narrative or perspective a model facilitates its propagation.

Competitive Strategy

Competitive Strategy

Benoit Chevalier-Roignant; Lenos Trigeorgis; Avinash K. Dixit

MIT Press
2014
pokkari
A new paradigm for balancing flexibility and commitment in management strategy through the amalgamation of real options and game theory.Corporate managers who face both strategic uncertainty and market uncertainty confront a classic trade-off between commitment and flexibility. They can stake a claim by making a large capital investment today, influencing their rivals' behavior, or they can take a "wait and see" approach to avoid adverse market consequences tomorrow. In Competitive Strategy, Benoit Chevalier-Roignant and Lenos Trigeorgis describe an emerging paradigm that can quantify and balance commitment and flexibility, "option games," by which the decision-making approaches of real options and game theory can be combined.The authors first discuss prerequisite concepts and tools from basic game theory, industrial organization, and real options analysis, and then present the new approach in discrete time and later in continuous time. Their presentation of continuous-time option games is the first systematic coverage of the topic and fills a significant gap in the existing literature. Competitive Strategy provides a rigorous yet pragmatic and intuitive approach to strategy formulation. It synthesizes research in the areas of strategy, economics, and finance in a way that is accessible to readers not necessarily expert in the various fields involved.

Art & Graphic Design

Art & Graphic Design

Benoit Buquet

Yale University Press
2021
sidottu
An innovative exploration of the intersection of graphic design and American art of the 1960s and 1970s This fascinating study of the role that graphic design played in American art of the 1960s and 1970s focuses on the work of George Maciunas, Ed Ruscha, and Sheila Levrant de Bretteville. Examining how each of these artists utilized typography, materiality, and other graphic design aesthetics, Benoît Buquet reveals the importance of graphic design in creating a sense of coherence within the disparate international group of Fluxus artists, an elusiveness and resistance to categorization that defined much of Ruscha’s brand of Pop Art, and an open and participatory visual identity for a range of feminist art practices. Rigorous and compelling scholarship and a copious illustration program that presents insightful juxtapositions of objects—some of which have never been discussed before—combine to shed new light on a period of abundant creativity and cultural transition in American art and the intimate, though often overlooked, entwinement between art and graphic design.

Here is the remarkable life story of Benoit Mandelbrot, the creator of fractal geometry, and his unparalleled contributions to science mathematics, the financial world, and the arts. Mandelbrot recounts his early years in Warsaw and in Paris, where he was mentored by an eminent mathematician uncle, through his days evading the Nazis in occupied France, to his education at Caltech, Princeton, and MIT, and his illustrious career at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center. An outside to mainstream scientific research, he managed to do what others had thought impossible: develop a new geometry that combines revelatory beauty with a radical way of unfolding formerly hidden scientific laws. In the process he was able to use geometry to solve fresh, real-world problems. With exuberance and an eloquent fluency, Benoit Mandelbrot recounts the high points of his fascinating life, offering us a glimpse into the evolution of his extraordinary mind.

Persuade que seul mon pays natal avait su preserver dans ses pierres ce savoir, celui-ci fut surement exporte en Nouvelle-France par des moines batisseurs, heritiers directs du savoir druidique.Lors d'etudes geobiologiques sacrees ayant pour objet des eglises, il fut possible de constater que certaines d'entre elles ont une energie particuliere. Comment les architectes de l'epoque ont su positionner ces eglises sur des hauts sites vibratoires et manier ces energies du lieu ? Ce livre est le fruit d'une recherche et enquete geobiologique qui dure depuis plus de trois ans.

Soft Ground Tunnel Design

Soft Ground Tunnel Design

Benoît Jones

CRC Press
2021
sidottu
Soft Ground Tunnel Design is a textbook that teaches the principles of tunnel and underground space design in soft ground. ‘Soft ground’ refers to soil, in contrast to rock. The book focuses on stability, prediction of ground movements, and structural design of the lining. It shows that the choice of excavation and support methods depends on ground stability, limitation of damage to the existing built environment, and health, safety and environmental considerations. Benoît Jones builds on the basic principles of soil-structure interaction, the three-dimensional effects of construction sequence, and the effects of construction on other surface or subsurface structures in steps of gradually increasing complexity. The use of worked examples throughout, and example problems at the end of each chapter, give the reader confidence to apply their knowledge. Engineers and graduate students will be able to: • understand the basis for choosing an underground construction method and/or ground improvement method• calculate heading stability• predict ground movements• understand the complex soil-structure interaction around an advancing tunnel• design tunnel linings in soft ground using a variety of methods• predict the effects of construction on the built environment and assess potential damageBenoît Jones has worked in tunnelling as a designer, contractor and academic for more than 20 years. He set up and ran the MSc Tunnelling and Underground Space course at the University of Warwick. He is now managing director of his own company, Inbye Engineering.

Engineering Modeling Languages

Engineering Modeling Languages

Benoit Combemale; Robert France; Jean-Marc Jézéquel; Bernhard Rumpe; James Steel; Didier Vojtisek

CRC Press
2020
nidottu
Written by foremost experts in the field, Engineering Modeling Languages provides end-to-end coverage of the engineering of modeling languages to turn domain knowledge into tools.The book provides a definition of different kinds of modeling languages, their instrumentation with tools such as editors, interpreters and generators, the integration of multiple modeling languages to achieve a system view, and the validation of both models and tools. Industrial case studies, across a range of application domains, are included to attest to the benefits offered by the different techniques. The book also includes a variety of simple worked examples that introduce the techniques to the novice user.The book is structured in two main parts. The first part is organized around a flow that introduces readers to Model Driven Engineering (MDE) concepts and technologies in a pragmatic manner. It starts with definitions of modeling and MDE, and then moves into a deeper discussion of how to express the knowledge of particular domains using modeling languages to ease the development of systems in the domains.The second part of the book presents examples of applications of the model-driven approach to different types of software systems. In addition to illustrating the unification power of models in different software domains, this part demonstrates applicability from different starting points (language, business knowledge, standard, etc.) and focuses on different software engineering activities such as Requirement Engineering, Analysis, Design, Implementation, and V&V.Each chapter concludes with a small set of exercises to help the reader reflect on what was learned or to dig further into the examples. Many examples of models and code snippets are presented throughout the book, and a supplemental website features all of the models and programs (and their associated tooling) discussed in the book.
