Metaphors are more than just linguistic tools; they go far beyond this. By drawing on the known to illuminate the unknown, they shape understanding and profoundly influence learning dynamics, making them particularly relevant in education.Metaphors for Education...
In times of crisis and uncertainty, tourism suffers multiple transformations such as societal, ecological, technological, and political changes, among many others. Beyond the cyclical adjustments, these upheavals call for agility on the part of tourism territories and...
In the era of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Digital Twins (DT), network infrastructures are rapidly evolving to meet industrial demands. Thus, we were motivated to explore the changing landscape of network deployment, management and utilization, driven by the rise of...
Science and technology profoundly shape the world today. Over the last two centuries, they have become powerful engines of change, accounting for some of the most important forms of human activity, inseparable from social, political and economic life. Analyzing their...
In smart cities, video surveillance is essential for public safety, evolving beyond simple camera installations and centralized monitoring due to the overwhelming amount of footage that challenges human operators. To enhance anomaly detection, experts have developed...
In recent years, social impact assessment (SIA) has become an important issue for organizations in the social and solidarity economy (SSE). SIA refers to the measurement of the effects of these organizations on society, and it is increasingly seen as a performance...
Democracies are struggling to respond to the climate crisis. One promising approach to the ecological transition is based on innovations involving panels of citizens drawn at random. Many countries have experimented with this form of deliberative democracy at national...
Over the past century, advancements in computer science have consistently resulted from extensive mathematical work. Even today, innovations in the digital domain continue to be grounded in a strong mathematical foundation. To succeed in this profession, both today's...
Interfaces are present in most fluid mechanics problems. They not only denote phase separations and boundary conditions, but also thin flames and discontinuity waves. Fluid Mechanics atInterfaces 3 firstly positions models as relative to applications (i.e. pollution,...
While territories have always faced multiple challenges, the addition of ecological transition to economic, cultural and social issues complicates matters considerably. Transition calls for new perspectives. The reinvention of territories through solidarity appears to...
Digital data, graph theory and spatial modeling allow us to apply the concepts of centralities and hierarchies to a wide variety of spatial situations. The authors of this book offer insight into centralities and hierarchies within networks and territories at different...
This book explores the world of reconfigurable stochastic Petri nets (RSPNs), a powerful method for modeling and verifying complex, dynamic and reconfigurable systems. As modern discrete-event systems become increasingly flexible, requiring structural adaptability at...
In the entanglement of practices, protagonists, techniques and infrastructures that enable mobility, transportation places play a crucial role. While transportation is often approached through the prism of networks, Geographical Places in Transportation invites us to...
Since they were first formulated in 1972, generalized linear models have enjoyed a veritable boom, with numerous applications in insurance, economics and biostatistics. Today, they are still the subject of a great deal of research. This book provides an overview of the...
Stochastic Modeling and Optimization Methods for Critical Infrastructure Protection is a thorough exploration of mathematical models and tools that are designed to strengthen critical infrastructures against threats – both natural and adversarial. Divided into two...
Over the past thirty years or so, serious games, gaming and playful activities have come to occupy an important place in organizations. While this phenomenon is an ancient one, the use of games for serious purposes has become widespread over the last two centuries, and...
The reader may be amazed when they are faced with the sheer number of territorial divisions associated with public action, and full of questions. What justifies this diversity? What are the problems that arise from these divisions? Why don't the limits of public action...
Archaea constitute a new branch of life alongside bacteria and eukaryotes. These microorganisms are unique in their cellular and molecular aspects. They have evolutionary links with the first eukaryotic cells and are now being used to elucidate fundamental biological...
Geomechanics of Coal Seams explores the evolving role of coal, transitioning from a historically criticized energy source tied to the Industrial Revolution, to a material with the potential to play a significant role in achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions....
