This open access book discusses how the involvement of citizens into scientific endeavors is expected to contribute to solve the big challenges of our time, such as climate change and the loss of biodiversity, growing inequalities within and between societies, and the sustainability turn. The field of citizen science has been growing in recent decades. Many different stakeholders from scientists to citizens and from policy makers to environmental organisations have been involved in its practice. In addition, many scientists also study citizen science as a research approach and as a way for science and society to interact and collaborate. This book provides a representation of the practices as well as scientific and societal outcomes in different disciplines. It reflects the contribution of citizen science to societal development, education, or innovation and provides and overview of the field of actors as well as on tools and guidelines. It serves as an introduction for anyone who wants to get involved in and learn more about the science of citizen science.
New mathematical elements were introduced: Dynamic operator, self-capacity, self-set, hierarchical dynamic structure, dynamic set, self-containment and mathematical apparatus for their use. All this was caused by the need to construct fundamentally new neural networks based on the principles of functioning of the central nervous system of living organisms. Our constructive approach to set theory differs from the construction of constructive sets by A.Mostowski: we construct completely different types of constructive sets. Here, the axiom of regularity (A8) is removed from the axioms of set theory, so we naturally obtain the possibility of using singularities in the form of self-sets, self-el...
What Is Li-Fi The term "Li-Fi" refers to a kind of wireless communication that makes use of light in order to send data and location from one device to another. During a session that he gave at TEDGlobal in Edinburgh in 2011, Harald Haas was the first person to introduce the word. How You Will Benefit (I) Insights, and validations about the following topics: Chapter 1: Li-Fi Chapter 2: IEEE 802.15 Chapter 3: IEEE 802.11 Chapter 4: Light-emitting diode Chapter 5: Wireless network Chapter 6: Wi-Fi Chapter 7: Free-space optical communication Chapter 8: Infrared Data Association Chapter 9: Physical layer Chapter 10: Wireless Chapter 11: Visible light communication Chapter 12: Home network Chapte...
This open access book offers a summary of the development of Digital Earth over the past twenty years. By reviewing the initial vision of Digital Earth, the evolution of that vision, the relevant key technologies, and the role of Digital Earth in helping people respond to global challenges, this publication reveals how and why Digital Earth is becoming vital for acquiring, processing, analysing and mining the rapidly growing volume of global data sets about the Earth. The main aspects of Digital Earth covered here include: Digital Earth platforms, remote sensing and navigation satellites, processing and visualizing geospatial information, geospatial information infrastructures, big data and ...
Artistic Research: Charting a Field in Expansion provides a multidisciplinary overview of different discourses and practices, exploring cutting-edge questions from the burgeoning field of artistic research. Intended as a primer on artistic research, it presents diverse perspectives, strategies, methodologies, and concrete examples of research projects situated at the crossroads of art and academia, exposing international work of significant projects from Europe, Asia, Australia, South and North America. The book includes chapters on diverse fields of thought and practice, addressing a common thread of questions and problematics. The comprehensive editors’ introduction offers a much-needed extensive overview of practice-based artistic research in general. This book is ideal for graduate students across philosophy, cultural studies, art, music, performance studies and more.
This book traces attempts to establish a non-religious system of Hebrew Courts in British-ruled Palestine.
Since the European Research Area was launched at the beginning of the century, significant efforts have been made to realise the vision of a coherent space for science and research in Europe. But how does one define such a space and measure its development? This timely book analyses the dynamics of change in the policy and governance of science and research within Europe over the past decade. It widens the scope of traditional policy analysis by focusing attention on the interaction between policy rationales, new governance mechanisms, and the organisational dynamics of the scientific field. The contributors build a novel analytical framework to understand the European research space as one ...
