As accelerated urbanization widens the gap between rich and poor and population growth becomes a global phenomenon, key strategies promoting rural economic development need to be implemented. This book covers the progress of a development initiative in Madagascar that enabled a region suffering from chronic drought and famine to provide food and become the area's breadbasket. Working with local people, the project delivered increased new cultivations, abundant harvests and improvements in infrastructure, media access, education and health. This is an indispensable book for development practitioners, NGOs, farmer associations and students in rural economics and related subjects.
The (Mis)Behaviour of Markets

The (Mis)Behaviour of Markets

Benoit B. Mandelbrot; Richard L. Hudson

Profile Books Ltd
2008
pokkari
This international bestseller, which foreshadowed a market crash, explains why it could happen again if we don't act now. Fractal geometry is the mathematics of roughness: how to reduce the outline of a jagged leaf or static in a computer connection to a few simple mathematical properties. With his fractal tools, Mandelbrot has got to the bottom of how financial markets really work. He finds they have a shifting sense of time and wild behaviour that makes them volatile, dangerous - and beautiful. In his models, the complex gyrations of the FTSE 100 and exchange rates can be reduced to straightforward formulae that yield a much more accurate description of the risks involved.
Reconciliation of Geometry and Perception in Radiation Physics

Reconciliation of Geometry and Perception in Radiation Physics

Benoit Beckers; Pierre Beckers

ISTE Ltd and John Wiley Sons Inc
2014
sidottu
Reconciliation of Geometry and Perception in Radiation Physics approaches the topic of projective geometry as it applies to radiation physics and attempts to negate its negative reputation. With an original outlook and transversal approach, the book emphasizes common geometric properties and their potential transposition between domains. After defining both radiation and geometric properties, authors Benoit and Pierre Beckers explain the necessity of reconciling geometry and perception in fields like architectural and urban physics, which are notable for the regularity of their forms and the complexity of their interactions.

Current developments in the renewable energy field, and the trend toward self-production and self-consumption of energy, has led to increased interest in the means of storing electrical energy; a key element of sustainable development. This book provides an in-depth view of the environmentally responsible energy solutions currently available for use in the building sector. It highlights the importance of storing electrical energy, demonstrates the many services that the storage of electrical energy can bring, and discusses the important socio-economic factors related to the emergence of smart buildings and smart grids. Finally, it presents the methodological tools needed to build a system of storage-based energy management, illustrated by concrete, pedagogic examples.
Computational Design of Lightweight Structures

Computational Design of Lightweight Structures

ISTE Ltd and John Wiley Sons Inc
2014

The author of this book presents a general, robust, and easy-to-use method that can handle many design parameters efficiently. Following an introduction, Chapter 1 presents the general concepts of truss layout optimization, starting from topology optimization where structural component sizes and system connectivity are simultaneously optimized. To fully realize the potential of truss layout optimization for the design of lightweight structures, the consideration of geometrical variables is then introduced. Chapter 2 addresses truss geometry and topology optimization by combining mathematical programming and structural mechanics: the structural properties of the optimal solution are used for devising the novel formulation. To avoid singularities arising in optimal configurations, this approach disaggregates the equilibrium equations and fully integrates their basic elements within the optimization formulation. The resulting tool incorporates elastic and plastic design, stress and displacement constraints, as well as self-weight and multiple loading. The inherent slenderness of lightweight structures requires the study of stability issues. As a remedy, Chapter 3 proposes a conceptually simple but efficient method to include local and nodal stability constraints in the formulation. Several numerical examples illustrate the impact of stability considerations on the optimal design. Finally, the investigation on realistic design problems in Chapter 4 confirms the practical applicability of the proposed method. It is shown how we can generate a range of optimal designs by varying design settings.

Process Modelling for Control concentrates on the modelling steps underlying a successful control design, answering questions like: How should I carry out the identification of my process to obtain a good model?How can I assess the quality of a model before to using it in control design?How can I ensure that a controller will stabilise a real process well enough before implementation?What is the most efficient method of order reduction to simplify the implementation of high-order controllers? System identification, model/controller validation and order reduction are studied in a common framework. Detailed worked examples, representative of various industrial applications, are given. This monograph uses mathematics convenient to researchers interested in real applications and to practising engineers interested in control theory. It enables control engineers to improve their methods and provides academics and graduate students with an all-round view of recent results in modelling for control.

With the expertise of more than 4.000 coaching sessions delivered in 12 countries since 2009 with his team to retail professionals, Benoit Mah explains in this book how a store manager or a sales manager should now interact with their teams, how they can enhance the talent of those new "connected salesperson" in the omnichannel strategy of the brand, so that they can marvel the client in store ... In a word: How to restore the French "boulangerie" smile in the omnichannel era.
Fraternal Charity

Fraternal Charity

Benôit Valuy

Arouca Press
2018
pokkari
Republication of Father Valuy's 1908 classic short treatise on the virtue of charity for religious but with wide application for everyone. It goes into practical principles to help religious practice the virtue of charity in their communities. Here is an excerpt from the introduction: "Father Valuy's work gives religious practical means of achieving this detachment from their own wills in order to practice the type of charity Our Lord demands of them. He strikes to the heart of that duplicity of spirit which can so easily put on the semblance of piety but which in reality is hypocritical in its dealings with other men. Fr. Valuy asks: "Am I one of those proud spirits who expose the faults of others in order to show off their pretended virtues?"His work includes the writings of the Saints who show religious (and all of us) the necessity of charity towards all. As an example, in discussing the problems of uncharitable speech, St. John Climacus states: For mercy's sake cease such conversation How would you wish me to stone my brethren--me, whose faults are greater and more numerous?" We should treat others as we would want to be treated. It is such a basic principle yet how few take it to heart "
