Fractional Dynamics on Networks and Lattices
This book analyzes stochastic processes on networks and regular structures such as lattices by employing the Markovian random walk approach. Part 1 is devoted to the study of local and non-local random walks. It shows how non-local random walk strategies can be defined by functions of the Laplacian matrix that maintain the stochasticity of the transition probabilities. A major result is that only two types of functions are admissible: type (i) functions generate asymptotically local walks with the emergence of Brownian motion, whereas type (ii) functions generate asymptotically scale-free non-local “fractional” walks with the emergence of Lévy flights. In Part 2, fractional dynamics and Lévy flight behavior are analyzed thoroughly, and a generalization of Pólya's classical recurrence theorem is developed for fractional walks. The authors analyze primary fractional walk characteristics such as the mean occupation time, the mean first passage time, the fractal scaling of the set of distinct nodes visited, etc. The results show the improved search capacities of fractional dynamics on networks.
Generalized Models and Non-classical Approaches in Complex Materials 1
This book is the first of 2 special volumes dedicated to the memory of Gérard Maugin. Including 40 papers that reflect his vast field of scientific activity, the contributions discuss non-standard methods (generalized model) to demonstrate the wide range of subjects that were covered by this exceptional scientific leader. The topics range from micromechanical basics to engineering applications, focusing on new models and applications of well-known models to new problems. They include micro–macro aspects, computational endeavors, options for identifying constitutive equations, and old problems with incorrect or non-satisfying solutions based on the classical continua assumptions.
Nonlinear Wave Dynamics of Materials and Structures
This book marks the 60th birthday of Prof. Vladimir Erofeev – a well-known specialist in the field of wave processes in solids, fluids, and structures. Featuring a collection of papers related to Prof. Erofeev’s contributions in the field, it presents articles on the current problems concerning the theory of nonlinear wave processes in generalized continua and structures. It also discusses a number of applications as well as various discrete and continuous dynamic models of structures and media and problems of nonlinear acoustic diagnostics.
IUTAM Symposium on Simulation and Identification of Organized Structures in Flows
This volume contains reviewed papers from the 1997 IUTAM Symposium, presenting the latest results from leading scientists within the field of detection and simulation of organized flow structures. It describes various aspects of complex, organized flow motion, including topics from decomposition techniques to topological concepts.
The Political Economy of Professional Sport
This timely book offers a critical interpretation of the traditional social and economic accounts of sport. It provides an incisive analysis of professional sport and defines alternative foundations to the present model. The authors demonstrate that professional sport is an extremely complex phenomenon encompassing many unique factors depending on its global reach, financing and organization. In particular they address three significant issues: • an analysis of the relationship between sport and economic development in order to explain the place of professional sport in modern societies • a study of the main difficulties facing the organization of professional sports in terms of financing, collective bargaining and the consequences of revenue sharing for competitive balance • an exploration of alternatives to current governance structures which would involve a return to professional ethics. This insightful and topical book is essential for academics and students of sport management, researchers of the economics of sport, managers of clubs and federations involved in professional sports, as well as civil servants and journalists.
Désirs et peurs alimentaires au XXIe siècle
Plaisir et santé sont-ils incompatibles ? Allons-nous vers une condamnation sans partage du sel, du sucre et des graisses ? vers un secteur économique coincé entre la pression de la demande et la montée du droit ? Irons-nous encore au restaurant demain ?.... Avant de prescrire et d'encadrer, il faut d'abord essayer de comprendre. Saisir comment nos comportements alimentaires changent et pourquoi ; comment les industriels, les restaurateurs et tous les acteurs du secteur apportent leur pierre à l'édifice. Sonder aussi les " artisans " que sont les chefs de cuisine, qui s'interrogent chaque jour sur leur métier. La gastronomie française, longtemps rayonnante et modèle incontesté, est...

Où va le sportif d'élite ?
6 juillet 2005, Londres vient de gagner un des appels d'offre les plus enviés de la planète : l'organisation des Jeux olympiques d'été de 2012. Quelle déception pour Paris ! Le sport français ne gagne plus. La France va mal. 4 août 2005, c'est désormais officiel, " il revient ". Zinédine Zidane réintègre l'équipe de France. 17 août 2005, " la lumière est revenue ". L'équipe de France emmenée par son capitaine a remporté le match amical disputé contre la Côte d'Ivoire. Le football français retrouve la victoire. La France va mieux. Nul doute, le sportif d'élite joue un rôle de plus en plus important dans notre société. Adulé, envié, imité ou détesté, il est devenu ...
