Generated Dynamics of Markov and Quantum Processes
by Martin JanßenThis book presents Markov and quantum processes as twosides of a coin called generated stochastic processes. It deals withquantum processes as reversible stochastic processes generated byone-step unitary operators, while Markov processes are irreversible stochasticprocesses generated by one-step stochastic operators. The characteristicfeature of quantum processes are oscillations, interference, lots of stationarystates in bounded systems and possible asymptotic stationary scattering statesin open systems, while the characteristic feature of Markov processes arerelaxations to a single stationary state. Quantum processes apply to systemswhere all variables, that control reversibility, are taken as relevantvariables, while Markov processes emerge when some of those variables cannot befollowed and are thus irrelevant for the dynamic description. Their absencerenders the dynamic irreversible. Afurther aim is to demonstrate that almost any subdiscipline of theoretical physicscan conceptually be put into the context of generated stochastic processes. Classical mechanics and classical field theory are deterministic processeswhich emerge when fluctuations in relevant variables are negligible. Quantummechanics and quantum field theory consider genuine quantum processes. Equilibrium and non-equilibrium statistics apply to the regime where relaxingMarkov processes emerge from quantum processes by omission of a large number ofuncontrollable variables. Systems with many variables often self-organize insuch a way that only a few slow variables can serve as relevant variables. Symmetries and topological classes are essential in identifying such relevantvariables. Thethird aim of this book is to provide conceptually general methods of solutionswhich can serve as starting points to find relevant variables as to apply best-practice approximation methods. Such methods are available through generatingfunctionals. The potential reader is a graduate student whohas heard already a course in quantum theory and equilibrium statisticalphysics including the mathematics of spectral analysis (eigenvalues,eigenvectors, Fourier and Laplace transformation). The reader should be openfor a unifying look on several topics.

Other applications of high power microwave technology are not neglected, and among those discussed are multiple charged ion and soft x-ray sources, electron spin resonance spectroscopy, advanced materials processing, millimeter wave radar, and supercolliders.
Generation Me - Revised and Updated: Why Today's Young Americans Are More Confident, Assertive, Entitled--and More Miserable Than Ever Before
by Ph.D. Jean M. TwengeThe Associated Press calls them "The Entitlement Generation," and they are storming into schools, colleges, and businesses all over the country. They are today's young people, a new generation with sky-high expectations and a need for constant praise and fulfillment. In this provocative new book, headline-making psychologist and social commentator Dr. Jean Twenge documents the self-focus of what she calls "Generation Me" -- people born in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. Herself a member of Generation Me, Dr. Twenge explores why her generation is tolerant, confident, open-minded, and ambitious but also cynical, depressed, lonely, and anxious. Using findings from the largest intergenerational study ever conducted -- with data from 1.3 million respondents spanning six decades -- Dr. Twenge reveals how profoundly different today's young adults are -- and makes controversial predictions about what the future holds for them and society as a whole. But Dr. Twenge doesn't just talk statistics -- she highlights real-life people and stories and vividly brings to life the hopes and dreams, disappointments and challenges of Generation Me.With a good deal of irony, humor, and sympathy she demonstrates that today's young people have been raised to aim for the stars at a time when it is more difficult than ever to get into college, find a good job, and afford a house -- even with two incomes. GenMe's expectations have been raised just as the world is becoming more competitive, creating an enormous clash between expectations and reality. Dr. Twenge also presents the often-shocking truths about her generation's dramatically different sexual behavior and mores. GenMe has created a profound shift in the American character, changing what it means to be an individual in today's society. Engaging, controversial, prescriptive, and often funny, Generation Me will give Boomers new insight into their offspring, and help GenMe'ers in their teens, 20s, and 30s finally make sense of themselves and their goals and find their road to happiness.
The Generation Myth: Why When You're Born Matters Less Than You Think
by Bobby DuffyMillennials, Baby Boomers, Gen Z—we like to define people by when they were born, but an acclaimed social researcher explains why we shouldn't.Boomers are narcissists. Millennials are spoiled. Gen Zers are lazy. We assume people born around the same time have basically the same values. It makes for good headlines, but is it true?Bobby Duffy has spent years studying generational distinctions. In The Generation Myth, he argues that our generational identities are not fixed but fluid, reforming throughout our lives. Based on an analysis of what over three million people really think about homeownership, sex, well-being, and more, Duffy offers a new model for understanding how generations form, how they shape societies, and why generational differences aren&’t as sharp as we think.The Generation Myth is a vital rejoinder to alarmist worries about generational warfare and social decline. The kids are all right, it turns out. Their parents are too.
Generation of Multivariate Hermite Interpolating Polynomials
by null Santiago Alves TavaresThis text advances the study of approximate solutions to partial differential equations by formulating a novel approach that employs Hermite interpolating polynomials and by supplying algorithms useful in applying this approach. The book's three sections examine constrained numbers, Hermite interpolating polynomials, and selected applications. The authors outline the rules for writing the algorithms and then present them in pseudo-code. Next, they define the properties that characterize the Hermite interpolating polynomials, propose an expression and demonstrate an algorithm for generating the polynomials, and show the advantages of this new technique over the classical approach.
Generation, Ungleichheit, Technik: Technikkompetenz im höheren Lebensalter (Vechtaer Beiträge zur Gerontologie)
by Bill PottharstIn diesem Buch wird versucht, die Theorieansätze der Technikgenerationen mit jenen der sozialen Ungleichheit auf eine Weise zu verbinden, dass Rückschlüsse auf die Technikakzeptanz, die Technikkompetenz und die Techniknutzung im höheren Lebensalter abgeleitet werden können. Technikroutinen werden im höheren Lebensalter insbesondere durch Prägungen im Lebensverlauf und die soziale Lage in der aktuellen Lebenssituation bestimmt. Unerlässlich scheint, älteren Menschen Zugang zu neuen Technologien zu ermöglichen, ihnen jedoch ebenso genügend Freiraum dafür einzuräumen, auf den Einsatz ungewollter Technologien verzichten zu können.
Generation Z: A Century in the Making
by Corey Seemiller Meghan GraceNo other generation in history has received as much coverage as the Millennial generation. Books, Google searches, blogs, and news articles are everywhere about them. Yet, Generation Z is comprised of our youth and young adults today and has received very little attention comparatively. Those in Generation Z are among our youngest consumers, students, colleagues, constituents, voters, and neighbors. Being able to better understand who they are and how they see the world can be helpful in effectively working with, teaching, supervising, and leading them. Generation Z: A Century in the Making offers insight into nearly every aspect of the lives of those in Generation Z, including a focus on their career aspirations, religious beliefs and practices, entertainment and hobbies, social concerns, relationships with friends and family, health and wellness, money management, civic engagement, communication styles, political ideologies, technology use, and educational preferences. Drawing from an unprecedented number of studies with higher education research institutions, market research firms such as Pew and Census, other generational researchers and industry leaders, this is the authoritative defining work on Generation Z that market researchers, consumer behaviour specialists, and employers sorely need – and it is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the sociology of generations.
Generationen-Management: Konzepte, Instrumente, Good-Practice-Ansätze
by Martin KlaffkeDer demografische Wandel führt nicht nur zu einem Rückgang der Erwerbsbevölkerung, sondern auch zu neuen Ansprüchen und Vorstellungen der Beschäftigten im Arbeitsleben. Dessen ungeachtet setzen Arbeitgeber ihre Prioritäten beim Demografie-Management noch überwiegend in den Bereichen Gesundheitsförderung und Nachwuchsgewinnung. Dies reicht jedoch nicht aus, um in digitalen Zeiten eine wettbewerbsfähige Belegschaft aufzubauen. Denn für die Zukunftsfähigkeit von Unternehmen kommt es neben der Arbeitsfähigkeit vor allem auf die Kooperationsbereitschaft und das Engagement der Mitarbeitenden jeden Alters an.Generationen-Management steigert die Arbeitgeberattraktivität und nutzt das Potenzial altersgemischter Belegschaften nachhaltig zum Vorteil von Beschäftigten und Unternehmen. Hierbei sind drei Handlungsfelder wesentlich: die organisationalen und arbeitspolitischen Rahmenbedingungen gestalten, die lebenslange Leistungsfähigkeit fördern und die intergenerative Wertschätzung und Zusammenarbeit stärken. Mit umfangreichen Praxis-Tipps zeigen Expertinnen und Experten auf, wie Arbeitgeber die Fähigkeit zum Management einer Mehr-Generationen-Belegschaft gezielt entwickeln und sich einen handfesten Wettbewerbsvorteil erarbeiten können

Generative Social Science: Studies in Agent-Based Computational Modeling (Princeton Studies in Complexity #21)
by Joshua M. EpsteinAgent-based computational modeling is changing the face of social science. In Generative Social Science, Joshua Epstein argues that this powerful, novel technique permits the social sciences to meet a fundamentally new standard of explanation, in which one "grows" the phenomenon of interest in an artificial society of interacting agents: heterogeneous, boundedly rational actors, represented as mathematical or software objects. After elaborating this notion of generative explanation in a pair of overarching foundational chapters, Epstein illustrates it with examples chosen from such far-flung fields as archaeology, civil conflict, the evolution of norms, epidemiology, retirement economics, spatial games, and organizational adaptation. In elegant chapter preludes, he explains how these widely diverse modeling studies support his sweeping case for generative explanation.This book represents a powerful consolidation of Epstein's interdisciplinary research activities in the decade since the publication of his and Robert Axtell's landmark volume, Growing Artificial Societies. Beautifully illustrated, Generative Social Science includes a CD that contains animated movies of core model runs, and programs allowing users to easily change assumptions and explore models, making it an invaluable text for courses in modeling at all levels.
Generators of Markov Chains: From a Walk in the Interior to a Dance on the Boundary (Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics #190)
by Adam BobrowskiElementary treatments of Markov chains, especially those devoted to discrete-time and finite state-space theory, leave the impression that everything is smooth and easy to understand. This exposition of the works of Kolmogorov, Feller, Chung, Kato and other mathematical luminaries focuses on time-continuous chains but is not so far from being elementary itself. It reminds us once again that the first impression is false: an infinite, but denumerable state-space is where the fun begins. If you have not heard of Blackwell's example (in which all states are instantaneous), do not understand what the minimal process is, or do not know what happens after explosion, dive right in. But beware lest you are enchanted: 'There are more spells than your commonplace magicians ever dreamed of.'
Generic Coarse Geometry of Leaves (Lecture Notes in Mathematics #2223)
by Jesús A. Álvarez López Alberto CandelThis book provides a detailed introduction to the coarse quasi-isometry of leaves of a foliated space and describes the cases where the generic leaves have the same quasi-isometric invariants. Every leaf of a compact foliated space has an induced coarse quasi-isometry type, represented by the coarse metric defined by the length of plaque chains given by any finite foliated atlas. When there are dense leaves either all dense leaves without holonomy are uniformly coarsely quasi-isometric to each other, or else every leaf is coarsely quasi-isometric to just meagerly many other leaves. Moreover, if all leaves are dense, the first alternative is characterized by a condition on the leaves called coarse quasi-symmetry. Similar results are proved for more specific coarse invariants, like growth type, asymptotic dimension, and amenability. The Higson corona of the leaves is also studied. All the results are richly illustrated with examples. The book is primarily aimed at researchers on foliated spaces. More generally, specialists in geometric analysis, topological dynamics, or metric geometry may also benefit from it.
Generic Data Structures and Algorithms in Go: An Applied Approach Using Concurrency, Genericity and Heuristics
by Richard WienerAdvance your understanding of generic data structures and algorithms and their applications using Go and the effective use of concurrency. You are invited on a journey that aims to improve your programming and problem-solving skills. This book takes you to the next step by showing how to get your programs to work efficiently as well as correctly. As you explore many data structures and the algorithms and applications associated with them, you'll focus on the trade-offs between speed and storage and the benefits of deploying concurrency when appropriate. This book will demonstrate the huge increases in application performance that are possible. The presentation of classic data structures and techniques of algorithm design (greedy, divide and conquer, branch-and-bound to name a few) provides an essential foundation and toolkit for problem solving. But this book goes further by presenting heuristic algorithms and their implementations for solving computationally intractable combinatoric optimization problems such as the travelling salesperson problem. Simulated annealing and genetic algorithms are among the techniques used.The consistent style of coding used throughout this book exploits Go’s ability to implement abstract, generic and constrained generic data types without the use of classes. Although some familiarity with Go is assumed, this book should advance your ability to use Go to tackle server-side applications, games, machine learning, information retrieval and other application domains where speed and storage efficiency is essential.What You'll LearnExplore classical data structures and algorithms aimed at making your applications run faster or require less storageUse the new generic features of Go to build reusable data structuresUtilize concurrency for maximizing application performanceSee the power of heuristic algorithms for computationally intractable problemsEnhance and improve your Go programming skillsWho This Book Is ForPracticing Go software developers and students who wish to advance their programming and problem-solving skills and experience the excitement and see the benefits of using generic data structures and algorithms that utilize concurrency whenever possible.
Genericity in Nonlinear Analysis
by Simeon Reich Alexander J. ZaslavskiThis book presents an extensive collection of state-of-the-art results and references in nonlinear functional analysis demonstrating how the generic approach proves to be very useful in solving many interesting and important problems. Nonlinear analysis plays an ever-increasing role in theoretical and applied mathematics, as well as in many other areas of science such as engineering, statistics, computer science, economics, finance, and medicine. The text may be used as supplementary material for graduate courses in nonlinear functional analysis, optimization theory and approximation theory, and is a treasure trove for instructors, researchers, and practitioners in mathematics and in the mathematical sciences. Each chapter is self-contained; proofs are solid and carefully communicated. Genericity in Nonlinear Analysis is the first book to systematically present the generic approach to nonlinear analysis. Topics presented include convergence analysis of powers and infinite products via the Baire Category Theorem, fixed point theory of both single- and set-valued mappings, best approximation problems, discrete and continuous descent methods for minimization in a general Banach space, and the structure of minimal energy configurations with rational numbers in the Aubry-Mather theory.
Genes, Environments and Interactions: Evolutionary and Quantitative Genetics Brought Up-to-date
by José M Álvarez-CastroGenetic effects are the core concepts from which quantitative genetics and the evolutionary synthesis emerged. The groundbreaking theory of genetic effects was first proposed over a century ago. This book revises that theory, both conceptually and mathematically, and brings it up-to-date. The theory here compiled is supplemented with non-previously-published developments covering the broadest spectrum of simultaneously multiallelic and multilocus architectures with autosomal and sex-linked lociArbitrary interactions (dominance, gene-gene, gene-environment, gene-sex, and parent-of-origin interactions) are accounted forBoth effects of allele substitutions from the reference of individual genotypes and in the context of populations are worked outPopulations are considered regardless of any departures from equilibrium frequencies (including both departures from Hardy-Weinberg, departures from linkage equilibrium, and non-random associations between/among genes and environments)All developments are derived under the same mathematical framework, so that transformations of genetic effects between different contexts are easily allowed In brief, this book enables novel applications to current empirical paradigms (like gene-mapping and genomic prediction) while adhering to the classical conceptualization of genetic effects and variance decomposition that let quantitative genetics and the evolutionary synthesis flourish. All relevant concepts are carefully clarified and discussed from a historical perspective. The theoretical developments presented in the book are illustrated by built-in cases and applications with real data. Reassuringly, the adequacy of the theory here presented is corroborated based on the fundamentals of model development.
