Intelligent Transportation and Evacuation Planning
by Ali K. Kamrani Arab NaserIntelligent Transportation and Evacuation Planning: A Modeling-Based Approach provides a new paradigm for evacuation planning strategies and techniques. Recently, evacuation planning and modeling have increasingly attracted interest among researchers as well as government officials. This interest stems from the recent catastrophic hurricanes and weather-related events that occurred in the southeastern United States (Hurricane Katrina and Rita). The evacuation methods that were in place before and during the hurricanes did not work well and resulted in thousands of deaths. This book offers insights into the methods and techniques that allow for implementing mathematical-based, simulation-based, and integrated optimization and simulation-based engineering approaches for evacuation planning.

Intensive Longitudinal Analysis of Human Processes
by Kathleen M. Gates Sy-Miin Chow Peter C. MolenaarThis book focuses on a span of statistical topics relevant to researchers who seek to conduct person-specific analysis of human data. Our purpose is to provide one consolidated resource that includes techniques from disciplines such as engineering, physics, statistics, and quantitative psychology and outlines their application to data often seen in human research. The book balances mathematical concepts with information needed for using these statistical approaches in applied settings, such as interpretative caveats and issues to consider when selecting an approach. The statistical topics covered here include foundational material as well as state-of-the-art methods. These analytic approaches can be applied to a range of data types such as psychophysiological, self-report, and passively collected measures such as those obtained from smartphones. We provide examples using varied data sources including functional MRI (fMRI), daily diary, and ecological momentary assessment data. Features: Description of time series, measurement, model building, and network methods for person-specific analysis Discussion of the statistical methods in the context of human research Empirical and simulated data examples used throughout the book R code for analyses and recorded lectures for each chapter available via a link available at https://personspecific.weebly.com/ Across various disciplines of human study, researchers are increasingly seeking to conduct person-specific analysis. This book provides comprehensive information, so no prior knowledge of these methods is required. We aim to reach active researchers who already have some understanding of basic statistical testing. Our book provides a comprehensive resource for those who are just beginning to learn about person-specific analysis as well as those who already conduct such analysis but seek to further deepen their knowledge and learn new tools.
Intention
by G. E. M. AnscombeIntention is one of the masterworks of twentieth-century philosophy in English. First published in 1957, it has acquired the status of a modern philosophical classic. The book attempts to show in detail that the natural and widely accepted picture of what we mean by an intention gives rise to insoluble problems and must be abandoned. This is a welcome reprint of a book that continues to grow in importance.
Interacting Boson Model from Energy Density Functionals
by Kosuke NomuraThis thesis describes a novel and robust way of deriving a Hamiltonian of the interacting boson model based on microscopic nuclear energy density functional theory. Based on the fact that the multi-nucleon induced surface deformation of finite nucleus can be simulated by effective boson degrees of freedom, observables in the intrinsic frame, obtained from self-consistent mean-field method with a microscopic energy density functional, are mapped onto the boson analog. Thereby, the excitation spectra and the transition rates for the relevant collective states having good symmetry quantum numbers are calculated by the subsequent diagonalization of the mapped boson Hamiltonian. Because the density functional approach gives an accurate global description of nuclear bulk properties, the interacting boson model is derived for various situations of nuclear shape phenomena, including those of the exotic nuclei investigated at rare-isotope beam facilities around the world. This work provides, for the first time, crucial pieces of information about how the interacting boson model is justified and derived from nucleon degrees of freedom in a comprehensive manner.

The Interaction of Spin with Gravity in Particle Physics: Low Energy Quantum Gravity (Lecture Notes in Physics #993)
by Gaetano Lambiase Giorgio PapiniThis book seeks to present a new way of thinking about the interaction of gravitational fields with quantum systems. Despite the massive amounts of research and experimentation, the myriad meetings, seminars and conferences, all of the articles, treatises and books, and the seemingly endless theorization, quantization and just plain speculation that have been engaged in regarding our evolving understanding of the quantum world, that world remains an enigma, even to the experts. The usefulness of general relativity in this regard has proven to be imperfect at best, but there is a new approach. We do not simply have to accept the limitations of Einstein's most celebrated theorem in regard to quantum theory; we can also embrace them, and thereby utilize them, to reveal new facts about the behavior of quantum systems within inertial and gravitational fields, and therefore about the very structure of space–time at the quantum level. By taking existing knowledge of the essential functionality of spin (along with the careful identification of the omnipresent inertial effects) and applying it to the quantum world, the book gives the reader a much clearer picture of the difference between the classical and quantum behaviors of a particle, shows that Einstein's ideas may not be as incompatible within this realm as many have come to believe, sparks new revelations of the way in which gravity affects quantum systems and brings a new level of efficiency—quantum efficiency, if you will—to the study of gravitational theory.
Interaction Ritual Chains (Princeton Studies in Cultural Sociology #62)
by Randall CollinsSex, smoking, and social stratification are three very different social phenomena. And yet, argues sociologist Randall Collins, they and much else in our social lives are driven by a common force: interaction rituals. Interaction Ritual Chains is a major work of sociological theory that attempts to develop a "radical microsociology." It proposes that successful rituals create symbols of group membership and pump up individuals with emotional energy, while failed rituals drain emotional energy. Each person flows from situation to situation, drawn to those interactions where their cultural capital gives them the best emotional energy payoff. Thinking, too, can be explained by the internalization of conversations within the flow of situations; individual selves are thoroughly and continually social, constructed from the outside in. The first half of Interaction Ritual Chains is based on the classic analyses of Durkheim, Mead, and Goffman and draws on micro-sociological research on conversation, bodily rhythms, emotions, and intellectual creativity. The second half discusses how such activities as sex, smoking, and social stratification are shaped by interaction ritual chains. For example, the book addresses the emotional and symbolic nature of sexual exchanges of all sorts--from hand-holding to masturbation to sexual relationships with prostitutes--while describing the interaction rituals they involve. This book will appeal not only to psychologists, sociologists, and anthropologists, but to those in fields as diverse as human sexuality, religious studies, and literary theory.
Interactive C#
by Vaskaran Sarcar[Announcement-Thanks for your interest in Interactive Object-Oriented Programming in C# and making this book as "No. 1 New Release". You motivated us to do some further modification and fine-tune this work. The heart of the book is Part-1 which focuses on Object-Oriented programming. But we are covering much more in this book and so, based on the readers feedback, we are bringing the upcoming and fine-tuned version of the book as "Interactive C#" very soon. You will be able to preorder the book shortly. So, stay tuned !!]Are you afraid of programming? Or, perhaps you experimented with some other programming languages and now want learn C#? Or, you want to learn fast but do not want to miss the key concepts? If the answer is yes for any of these questions, then you are at the right place. 1. The book consists of four major sections which cover 15 core topics - 9 of them are dedicated to object oriented programming, 5 of them are dedicated to advanced concepts of C#,1 of them is dedicated to design patterns which covers 3 Gang of Four design patterns with C# implementations. Finally, you will get a FAQ section to cover all of these. 2. Why do we put so much emphasis on the word "core"? It is because, world is changing and new features will keep evolving but core concepts are evergreen. All new features are built on top of those. If you have a strong foundation, you can adopt the upcoming features quickly because you can understand the reason behind those changes. So, the book focuses on core topics in depth but does not try to cover "a-z" in C# at the same time. 3. This book is interactive . With it, you can feel that you are learning in a classroom environment where your teacher is discussing some topics and asking you questions. At the same time, you can clear your doubts by asking counter questions. It is very much important because many students cannot ask questions in an open forum due to many psychological factors. If you are dedicated to this subject and repeatedly think about these Q&A sessions, you can remake yourself in the programming world. 4. This book will not invest time on topics that are easily available e. g. how to install visual studio in your system or how to write a "hello world' program etc. On the contrary, the book contains a section that provides some fundamental theories with some interesting questions/answers in the topics like-IL code, selection, iteration and jump statements, arrays, strings, structures ,enumerations etc. , so that ,you can learn and evaluate your skills in those topics. This section will act like a reference. Gradually upon repeated practice, you will be familiar with it. This section will also help you to prepare yourself before a job interview or a semester examination to answer some tricky questions that may seem to be very easy at the beginning. Your teacher only expects that before you enter into the class, you must aware of the basic syntax's/notations. 5. In most of the cases, you'll see the complete programs with output snapshots (for different inputs) i. e. You do not need to wait to run a program to see the corresponding outputs. Programs were run both in windows 7 and 10 and snapshots are taken from visual studio community 2017 edition which is free (and latest) at the time of this writing. 6. Lastly, many of us are afraid of fat books because they do not show us the promise that we can learn it in one day or 7 days etc. but they forget that learning is a continuous process. Author also believes that no real mastery can be achieved in 24 hrs or in 7 days. So, the slogan of the book is "To learn the core topics in C#, whatever efforts I need to put, I am OK with that". Still simple arithmetic says that if you can complete 2 topics per week, you can complete the book by 2 months . The book is designed for you in such a way that upon completion of the book, you will learn the core OOP concepts in C# in details how to go further.
Interactive Data Processing and 3D Visualization of the Solid Earth
by Daniel PatelThis book presents works detailing the application of processing and visualization techniques for analyzing the Earth’s subsurface. The topic of the book is interactive data processing and interactive 3D visualization techniques used on subsurface data. Interactive processing of data together with interactive visualization is a powerful combination which has in the recent years become possible due to hardware and algorithm advances in. The combination enables the user to perform interactive exploration and filtering of datasets while simultaneously visualizing the results so that insights can be made immediately. This makes it possible to quickly form hypotheses and draw conclusions. Case studies from the geosciences are not as often presented in the scientific visualization and computer graphics community as e.g., studies on medical, biological or chemical data. This book will give researchers in the field of visualization and computer graphics valuable insight into the open visualization challenges in the geosciences, and how certain problems are currently solved using domain specific processing and visualization techniques. Conversely, readers from the geosciences will gain valuable insight into relevant visualization and interactive processing techniques. Subsurface data has interesting characteristics such as its solid nature, large range of scales and high degree of uncertainty, which makes it challenging to visualize with standard methods. It is also noteworthy that parallel fields of research have taken place in geosciences and in computer graphics, with different terminology when it comes to representing geometry, describing terrains, interpolating data and (example-based) synthesis of data. The domains covered in this book are geology, digital terrains, seismic data, reservoir visualization and CO2 storage. The technologies covered are 3D visualization, visualization of large datasets, 3D modelling, machine learning, virtual reality, seismic interpretation and multidisciplinary collaboration. People within any of these domains and technologies are potential readers of the book.

Interactive LISREL in Practice: Getting Started with a SIMPLIS Approach
by Armando Luis Vieira"Getting Started with a SIMPLIS Approach" is particularly appropriate for those users who are not experts in statistics, but have a basic understanding of multivariate analysis that would allow them to use this handbook as a good first foray into LISREL. Part I introduces the topic, presents the study that serves as the background for the explanation of matters, and provides the basis for Parts II and III, which, in turn, explain the process of estimation of the measurement model and the structural model, respectively. In each section, we also suggest essential literature to support the utilization of the handbook. After having read the book, readers will have acquired a basic knowledge of structural equation modeling, namely using the LISREL program, and will be prepared to continue with the learning process.
