Reliability Modeling With Applications: Essays In Honor Of Professor Toshio Nakagawa On His 70th Birthday

Reliability modeling has been a major concern for engineers and managers engaged in high quality system designs. This book presents the recent advancement in reliability theory and reliability engineering.Starting from maintenance policies, the book introduces reliability analysis to systems using stochastic processes to study their optimization problems. In this book, the authors will illustrate how these techniques of reliability are applied to solve optimization problems in computer, information and network systems.

This interdisciplinary work discusses the construction, maintenance, evolution, and destruction of home and community spaces, which are central to the development of social cohesion. By examining how people throughout the world form different communities to establish a sense of home, the volume surveys the formation of identity within the context of rapid development, global and domestic neoliberal and political governmental policies, and various societal pressures. The themes of cooperation, conflict, inclusion, exclusion, and balance require negotiation between different actors (e.g., the state, professional developers, social activists, and residents) as homes and communities develop.

  • Publisher: Springer

This book offers an in-depth description and analysis of Chinese coin-like charms, which date back to the second century CE and which continued to be used until mid 20th century. This work is unique in that it provides an archaeological and analytical interpretation of the content of these metallic objects: inscriptive, pictorial or both. As the component chapters show, these coin-like objects represent a wealth of Chinese traditional folk beliefs, including but not limited to family values, social obligations and religious desires. The book presents a collection of contributed chapters, gathering a diverse range of perspectives and expertise from some of the world’s leading scholars in th...
