Written by a number of Islamic religious authorities and Muslim scholars, this work presents the views and teachings of mainstream Sunni and Shi’i Islam on the subject of jihad. It authoritatively presents jihad as it is understood by the majority of the world’s 1.7 billion Muslims in the world today, and supports this understanding with extensive detail and scholarship. No word in English evokes more fear and misunderstanding than "jihad." To date the books that have appeared on the subject in English by Western scholars have been either openly partisan and polemical or subtly traumatized by so many acts and images of terrorism in the name of jihad and by the historical memory of nearly...

The overarching aim of this open access book is to present self-contained theory and algorithms for investigation and prediction of electric demand peaks. A cross-section of popular demand forecasting algorithms from statistics, machine learning and mathematics is presented, followed by extreme value theory techniques with examples. In order to achieve carbon targets, good forecasts of peaks are essential. For instance, shifting demand or charging battery depends on correct demand predictions in time. Majority of forecasting algorithms historically were focused on average load prediction. In order to model the peaks, methods from extreme value theory are applied. This allows us to study extr...
Çanakkale Savaşı üzerinde kalem oynatanların çoğunda bir yanılgı olarak; savaşa ve savaşa katılan kişilere bakış açısında şahsi dünya görüşünün ve ideolojisinin belirleyici olduğu görülmektedir. Halbuki doksan küsür yıl önce yaşanan bir savaşı, o günün şartlarına göre değerlendirip, objektif biçimde anlayıp yorumlamak gerekir. İşte bu anlayışı esas alarak bilgi ve belgeye dayalı bir şekilde, yerli ve yabancı kaynaklardan faydalanarak elinizdeki kitap hazırlandı. Çanakkale Savaşı üzerine yazılmış onlarca kitaba rağmen yeniden bir savaş kitabı yazmak yerine, bu kitapta belirlenen sorulara cevaplar verilerek savaş anlatılmaya çal...
This volume presents selected and peer-reviewed contributions from the 14th Workshop on Stochastic Models, Statistics and Their Applications, held in Dresden, Germany, on March 6-8, 2019. Addressing the needs of theoretical and applied researchers alike, the contributions provide an overview of the latest advances and trends in the areas of mathematical statistics and applied probability, and their applications to high-dimensional statistics, econometrics and time series analysis, statistics for stochastic processes, statistical machine learning, big data and data science, random matrix theory, quality control, change-point analysis and detection, finance, copulas, survival analysis and reliability, sequential experiments, empirical processes, and microsimulations. As the book demonstrates, stochastic models and related statistical procedures and algorithms are essential to more comprehensively understanding and solving present-day problems arising in e.g. the natural sciences, machine learning, data science, engineering, image analysis, genetics, econometrics and finance.
The ongoing impact of Industry 4.0 and disruptive technologies has transformed conventional supply chains into globally connected collaborative networks. As supply chains become flexible, agile, and digital structures, the planning and operation phases of the key business processes become more complex. This book presents state-of-the-art chapters on smart and sustainable supply chain management in the aviation industry. The aviation industry is one of the main industries affected by the rapid transformation initiated by the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Disruptive technologies, such as artificial intelligence, augmented reality, advanced sensor systems, and autonomous robots, are shaping the...
