Today’s real-world problems and applications in sensory systems and target detection require efficient, comprehensive and fault-tolerant multi-sensor allocation. This book presents the theory and applications of novel methods developed for such sophisticated systems. It discusses the advances in multi-agent systems and AI along with collaborative control theory and tools. Further, it examines the formulation and development of an allocation framework for heterogeneous multi-sensor systems for various real-world problems that require sensors with different performances to allocate multiple tasks, with unknown a priori priorities that arrive at unknown locations at unknown time. It demonstrates how to decide which sensor to allocate to which tasks when and where. Lastly, it explains the reliability and availability issues of task allocation systems, and includes methods for their optimization.The presented methods are explained, measured, and evaluated by extensive simulations, and the results of these simulations are presented in this book. This book is an ideal resource for academics, researchers and graduate students as well as engineers and professionals and is relevant for various applications such as sensor network design, multi-agent systems, task allocation, target detection, and team formation.

The message conveyed in this work is that agility can be implemented anywhere. Accordingly, ten guidelines are presented for the adoption of agility to enable us to cope with changes in our lives, in our teams, and in our organizations.Since the authors advocate agility, the content is presented in the form of concise standalone chapters, allowing the reader to focus on the specific topic they wish to adopt in order to become agile.

Var Shakespeare antisemit? Eller är hans judiska Shylock snarare ett tecken på det diskursiva klimatet som rådde i England under 1500-talet? Rymmer Köpmannen i Venedig antisemitisk propaganda och är den därför rentav farlig, oavsett tidsandan och den sceniska framställningen? Til syvende og sidst är det bara åskådarna som kan ge besked.I sin uppsättning på Dramaten 2004, med Malin Ek i rollen som Shylock, sökte Mats Ek åstadkomma ett motgift. Teaterforskare verksamma vid Teater- och dansvetenskap, Stockholms universitet, genomförde en publikundersökning som visade att tvärtemot sitt syfte hade Dramatenföreställningen lockat fram antisemitiska tendenser hos åskådarna. Under ett tre dagars symposium diskuterades detta alarmerande resultat i ett tvärvetenskapligt sammanhang.Shakespeares Shylock och antisemitismen innehåller de bidrag som nio forskare presenterade i samband med symposiet: Harvardprofessorn och Shakespearespecialisten Stephen Greenblatt (i Hans Kellermans översättning), teologen Jesper Svartvik, historikerna Lars M. Andersson och Håkan Blomqvist, psykoanalytikern David Titelman, journalisten och författaren Anna Lena Lodenius, receptionsforskaren Anat Gesser-Edelsburg och teatervetarna Yael Feiler och Willmar Sauter vilka även redigerat och sammanställt boken.Denna andra utgåva av Shakespares Shylock och antisemitismen innehåller ett tillägg till förordet och en ny artikel av Yael Feiler som följer upp de olika forskningsresultat som projektet genererat de senaste åren.
Noah Purifoy made art in order to enact social change. Created mostly from found objects, his neo-Dadaist sculpture both embodies and reflects the environment in which it was created - whether the burnt ruins of the 1966 Watts Riots or the unforgiving climate of the Mojave Desert. This book follows Purifoy's remarkable life and career, during which he transitioned from high-end furniture designer to assemblage artist, social worker, arts administrator and finally creator of a desert art museum. Illustrated throughout with works from every stage of Purifoy's career, this volume also includes essays by acclaimed curators, critics, journalists and fellow artists - all champions of this profoundly thoughtful sculptor whose work has been under recognized for far too long. Published in association with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
El presente libro tiene su origen en un contexto de indagaci n acerca de aquellas estrategias que posibiliten la apropiaci n de las pr cticas de una disciplina de manera aut ntica, particularmente cuando de educaci n mediada por la tecnolog a se trata. Es as como los autores se dieron a la tarea de revisar diferentes modelos instruccionales, que a la fecha son preponderantes en la literatura educativa. El an lisis sistem tico de los modelos y sus componentes les llev a proponer una metodolog a de dise o de la instrucci n con nfasis constructivista que busca un equilibrio entre el aspecto pedag gico, tecnol gico, el cognitivo y el social, sin supeditaciones de estos elementos, pues todos posibilitan y potencian el proceso de aprendizaje. Por lo que este libro representa para el docente interesado, la propuesta y gu a para el dise o de secuencias instruccionales en escenarios mediados por la tecnolog a, donde tendr la oportunidad de reflexionar y seleccionar los elementos m s relevantes que debe integrar en el proceso de formaci n de sus aprendices, para crear un ambiente de aprendizaje basado en la resoluci n de problemas, la reflexi n y la socializaci n continua entre pares.
"In this book, Morland, Lehmann, and Karpyn discuss the critical need for healthy food financing programs as a vehicle to improve food access for all Americans. In my career as a public servant, there are very few legislative achievements that I’m prouder of than the Healthy Food Financing Initiative, which started in my home state of Pennsylvania. The program gained status as a proven and economically sustainable federal program that is helping to improve the quality of life in our neighborhoods: by allowing millions access to healthy, affordable food."– Congressman Dwight EvansUnited States House of Representatives, Pennsylvania, District 3"If we work together, we can create a healthy food system that is equitable and accessible to all. This book highlights the importance of healthy food projects like grocery stores, farmers markets, co-ops, and other healthy food retail in revitalizing local communities across the country. Without basic nourishment, kids and families simply won’t be successful – which is why this book is a must read."– Sam KassPresident Obama’s Senior Nutrition Policy Advisor and Executive Director of Let’s Move!"Morland and colleagues’ new second edition provides an excellent foundation for courses in food policy and community nutrition. Their detailed review of the economics of local and national food financing will open students’ minds to the complexity inherent in measuring and interpreting outcomes."– Robert S.

Describes how disparities in food access formed in the United States ? Includes federal policies and programs aimed at addressing food access in underserved areas, including the Healthy Food Financing Initiative ? Features examples of state initiatives that address poor access to food retailers ? Provides methods for program evaluation utilizing principals of implementation and dissemination science ? Includes critical thinking questions and embedded videos aimed to generate discussions on how restricted local food environments in the United States are rooted in economic disparities that impact food access as well as housing, education, and job opportunities

This book provides a conceptual framework for children's rights as well as specific strategies and opportunities for social workers to apply in their work. It guides social work professionals and students through the history of children's rights. It also includes a call for a paradigm shift from a focus on the right to nurturance to the right to self-determination, as well as a contrasting look at children's rights in the West versus the rest of the world.
