International Symposium on Mathematics, Quantum Theory, and Cryptography: Proceedings of MQC 2019 (Mathematics for Industry #33)
by Tsuyoshi Takagi Masato Wakayama Keisuke Tanaka Noboru Kunihiro Kazufumi Kimoto Yasuhiko IkematsuThis open access book presents selected papers from International Symposium on Mathematics, Quantum Theory, and Cryptography (MQC), which was held on September 25-27, 2019 in Fukuoka, Japan. The international symposium MQC addresses the mathematics and quantum theory underlying secure modeling of the post quantum cryptography including e.g. mathematical study of the light-matter interaction models as well as quantum computing.The security of the most widely used RSA cryptosystem is based on the difficulty of factoring large integers. However, in 1994 Shor proposed a quantum polynomial time algorithm for factoring integers, and the RSA cryptosystem is no longer secure in the quantum computing model. This vulnerability has prompted research into post-quantum cryptography using alternative mathematical problems that are secure in the era of quantum computers. In this regard, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) began to standardize post-quantum cryptography in 2016. This book is suitable for postgraduate students in mathematics and computer science, as well as for experts in industry working on post-quantum cryptography.

International Trade and Food Security: The Future of Indian Agriculture
by Floor Brouwer P. K. JoshiThis book explores structural changes in India's agrifood systems during the next ten to twenty years. The dynamics in the agrifood sector is explored in the context of the overall economy, taking into account agricultural and trade policies and their impacts on national and global markets. The contributors draw on qualitative and quantitative approaches, using both a national model - to focus on urban-rural relations and income distribution - and an international model to focus on patterns of economic growth and international trade.

International Trade in Forest Products: Lumber Trade Disputes, Models and Examples
by Joseph Buongiorno Jinggang Guo Craig Johnston Xintong Li Fatemeh Mokhtarzadeh Harry Nelson Prakash Nepal Jeffrey Prestemon Brad StennesBecause of the long-standing Canada-U.S. lumber trade dispute and the current pressure on the world's forests as a renewable energy source, much attention has been directed toward the modelling of international trade in wood products. Two types of trade models are described in this book: one is rooted in economic theory and mathematical programming, and the other consists of two econometric/statistical models--a gravity model rooted in theory and an approach known as GVAR that relies on time series analyses. The purpose of the book is to provide the background theory behind models and facilitate readers in easily constructing their own models to analyse policy questions that they wish to address, whether in forestry or some other sector. Examples in the book are meant to illustrate how models can be used to say something about a variety of issues, including identification of the gains and losses to various players in the North American softwood lumber business, and the potential for redirecting sales of lumber to countries outside the United States. The discussion is expanded to include other products besides lumber, and used to examine, for example, the effects of log export restrictions by one nation on all other forestry jurisdictions, the impacts of climate policies as they relate to the global forest sector, and the impact of oil prices on forest product markets throughout the world. This book will appeal to practising economists and researchers who wish to examine various policies that affect international trade, whether their interest is local or international in scope. Because the book provides the theoretical bases underlying various models, students and practitioners will find this a valuable reference book or supplementary textbook.
International Trade of Secondhand Goods: Flow of Secondhand Goods, Actors and Environmental Impact (IDE-JETRO Series)
by Michikazu Kojima Shozo SakataThis book demonstrates the flow of the international trade of secondhand goods and examines the socio-economic background and mechanisms of the trade. It highlights the actors involved in the trade of secondhand goods and how traditionally secondhand good have largely been traded through social or ethnic networks in order to effectively transfer quality and market information. The development of information technology and emergence of new information platforms have changed these business models. The policies and regulations relating to the trade of secondhand goods are explored, alongside the negative impact of these trades, and the growing awareness of the circular economy. This book illustrates how importing countries as well as international institutions have developed regulations in order to balance these two issues. It will relevant to students and economists interested in development economics and economics geography.

Internationales Transportation-Design: Beitrag der HfG Ulm zu Praxis, Lehre und Forschung (Technik im Wandel)
by Hartmut SeegerDas Entwickeln von Fahrzeugen aller Art ist heute eine eigenständige Wissensdisziplin, die in ihrem gesamten Umfang mit digitalen Tools bearbeitet wird. Die diesbezüglichen Teilaufgaben, wie z.B. die Maßkonzeption von Fahrzeugen, entstanden aber alle in der vorausgehenden Phase in der handwerklichen Tradition sowie durch die Orientierung am sogenannten Funktionalismus und an den neuen Designwissenschaften, wie z.B. der Ergonomie. Das vorliegende Werk behandelt diese 100jährige Entwicklung am Beispiel der diesbezüglichen Pionierinstitution, der Hochschule für Gestaltung Ulm (1953-1968) und der Arbeit ihrer Alumnis bis in die Gegenwart.Die zentrale Information dieses Werkes betrifft diese interessante Wechselwirkung und Entwicklungslinie vom Kinderwagen bis zur Weltraumstation und von den Zeichentechniken bis zur designbezogenen Semantik und interfaceorientierten Pragmatik.

Die Ergebnisse wurden in einem praxisorientierten, Leitfaden leicht verständlich aufbereitet - mit einem Überblick über Methoden, mit Checklisten, weiterführender Literatur sowie relevanten Internetlinks.
Internationalising Higher Education and the Role of Virtual Exchange (Routledge Research in Higher Education)
by Robert O'DowdThis volume introduces Virtual Exchange (VE) as an innovative form of online intercultural learning and investigates the myriad of ways VE is being carried out across universities, ultimately arguing for its integration into university internationalisation policies and course curricula. Against the backdrop of increased digitalisation initiatives throughout universities given the effects of the pandemic, chapters focus not only on providing new research findings, but also on providing a comprehensive introduction and argumentation for the use of VE in university education and also in demonstrating how it can be put into use by both university decision-makers and educators. Reviewing the limitations of the activity, this timely work also fundamentally posits how VE and blended mobility more broadly could be developed in future higher education initiatives. This book will be of interest to researchers, academics, scholars, and students involved with Open & Distance Education and eLearning, approaches to internationalisation in education, and the study of higher education more broadly. Those interested in innovative methods for teaching and learning, as well as educational research, will also benefit from this volume.
