Dual Wield - Jon Stone - Bog - De Gruyter - Plusbog.dk

In recent years, poetry and video games have begun talking to – and taking from – one another in earnest. Poets, ever in pursuit of meaning, now draw inspiration from digital-interactive fantasy worlds, while video game developers aim to enrich their creations by imbuing them with poetic depth. This book investigates the phenomena of poem-game hybrids and other forms of poetic-ludic interplay, making use of both a multidisciplinary critical approach and the author’s own experiments in building and testing hybrid artefacts. What emerges is the suggestion of a future where reading and playing are no longer seen as separate endeavours, where the quests for sensory pleasure and philosophic insight are one and the same.

The Design and Analysis of Experiments and Surveys - L. Rob Verdooren - Bog - De Gruyter - Plusbog.dk

This volume is the English version of the second edition of the bilingual textbook by Rasch, Verdooren and Gowers (1999). A parallel version in German is available from the same publisher. This book is intended for students and experimental scientists in all disciplines and presumes only elementary statistical knowledge. This prerequisite knowledge is summarised briefly in appendix B. Knowledge of differential and integral calculus is not necessary for the understanding of the text. Matrix notation is explained in Appendix C. As well as the correction of errors, the present edition differs from the first by the introduction of some new sections, such as that on testing the equality of two proportions (Section 3.4.4), and the inclusion of sequential tests. All new material is accompanied by descriptions of the relevant SPSS and CADEMO procedures.

System Engineering with SysML - Birgit Vogel Heuser - Bog - De Gruyter - Plusbog.dk

Systemic thinking is required to design increasingly complex mechatronic systems. SySML is a description language that is tailored precisely to this purpose. Based on UML, it also enables the modelling of requirements, hardware and time behaviour in the context of both simulation and testing. A model-based engineering decision is expensive and risky, so efficient assessment of the suitability of SysML is critical to success, as is rapid familiarisation. The book and the accompanying digital material with the models in two modelling environments (EASystems and CoDeSys) enable a step-by-step, efficient introduction that extends to the various facets of more complex mechatronic production systems. The book plus material can be used both as a basis for courses, including exercises and interactive formats, and as a step-by-step introduction to more realistic models from the perspective of manufacturers of mechatronic systems through to production systems.

ALM Modeling and Balance Sheet Optimization - Diogo Gobira - Bog - De Gruyter - Plusbog.dk

ALM Modeling and Balance Sheet Optimization is a comprehensive book that combines theoretical exploration with practical guidance and code examples on implementing a balance sheet optimization model. The book emphasizes the use of stochastic dynamic programming to develop a deep and holistic understanding of the banking problem. Encompassing the entire implementation stack – spanning from data layers to the specification of decision variables, business and regulatory constraints, objective functions, modeling strategies, solving techniques, debugging, and reporting – this book serves as a comprehensive guide for constructing highly effective balance optimization models from scratch, enabling the maximization of banking outcomes. Readers will learn how to build a mathematical model capable of generating projections for portfolios; balance sheet, income and cash flow statements; capital, and risk measures in real-world scenarios. This practical approach is particularly valuable for professionals involved in integrated stress testing, capital adequacy assessment, financial planning, and optimization tasks. In essence, the book offers valuable insights into the challenges of balance sheet optimization, providing readers with the necessary tools to build their own dynamic and comprehensive ALM models.

Research Methods in Language Acquisition - Maria Blume - Bog - De Gruyter - Plusbog.dk

Language acquisition research is challenging—the intricate behavioral and cognitive foundations of speech are difficult to measure objectively. The audible components of speech, however, are quantifiable and thus provide crucial data. This practical guide synthesizes the authors’ decades of experience into a comprehensive set of tools that will allow students and early career researchers in the field to design and conduct rigorous studies that produce reliable and valid speech data and interpretations. The authors thoroughly review specific techniques for obtaining qualitative and quantitative speech data, including how to tailor the testing environments for optimal results. They explore observational tasks for collecting natural speech and experimental tasks for eliciting specific types of speech. Language comprehension tasks are also reviewed so researchers can study participants’ interpretations of speech and conceptualizations of grammar. Most tasks are oriented towards children, but special considerations for infants are also reviewed, as well as multilingual children. Chapters also provide strategies for transcribing and coding raw speech data into reliable data sets that can be scientifically analyzed. Furthermore, they investigate the intricacies of interpretation so that researchers can make empirically sound inferences from their data and avoid common pitfalls that can lead to unscientific conclusions.

Pandemics Among Nations - Iskren Ivanov - Bog - De Gruyter - Plusbog.dk

The end of the Cold War marks the geopolitical peak of America''s global primacy. The centerpiece of U.S. Foreign Policy in the pre-pandemic world order was the assumption that promoting human rights and democracy will secure peace. However, the Coronavirus Pandemic challenged the U.S.-dominated globalized order. The international system in the post-pandemic age embodies a paradox of the American primacy and the Chinese struggle for global domination. Pandemics Among Nations: U.S. Foreign Policy and the New Grand Chessboard addresses the geopolitical puzzle of the post-pandemic world order and seeks to explain how COVID 19 has remastered Brzezinski''s theory of the Grand Chessboard. In this book, Ivanov offers a two-level approach, emphasizing the consequences of the Pandemic and their impact on U.S. Foreign Policy. He also argues that if the United States wants to maintain its leadership in the post-pandemic world order, Washington should develop a new concept of smart power to deter the Chinese Art of War. The foremost goal of Pandemics Among Nations is to analyze how America could overcome the geopolitical effects of the Pandemic. The author examines three possible scenarios for the future role of the United States on the post-pandemic Chessboard. The analysis rests on the testing of a series of research hypotheses across a structured comparison of all elements of the remastered Grand Chessboard, not just on isolated case studies such as China''s rise, Russian New Imperialism or European ambitions for a mutual defense.
