The first generation of Digital Natives (DNs) is now growing up. Today, a new breed of digital natives is emerging. We analysed the way in which these two generations differ from each other and we explored how the world needs to change in order to harness the potential of these new digital natives.

This book discusses modeling of management processes in IT, describing initial processing and the maturity capsule, as well as a decision-making system represented by a multi-level sequential model which acquires a fuzzy rule-based implementation in this work.

The treatment of uncertainties in the analysis of engineering structures remains one of the premium challenges in modern structural mechanics. The stochastic input is modeled by the so-called Karhunen-Loeve expansion, which is formulated in this context both for scalar and vector stochastic processes as well as for random fields.

This dissertation focuses on the study of novel high-gain free-electron laser (FEL) operation schemes with external seed lasers. Several novel FEL schemes are proposed for the generation of intense coherent FEL pulses with short wavelength, sub-femtosecond pulse length or multiple carrier frequency properties, which meet the needs of FEL users.

The book addresses different areas of corpus-based translation studies, including corpus-based study of translation features, translator's style, norms of translation, translation practice, translator training and interpreting.

The underlying idea is to agree prices for specification features, instead of giving each material an individual price based on its unique specification. By doing so, a price formula will be agreed between the buyer and supplier which even defines prices of future materials with any kind of specification.

This book examines financial modeling and computational finance from a BSDE perspective, presenting a unified view of the pricing and hedging theory across all asset classes as well as a review of quantitative finance tools.

This book describes the design of a receiver front-end circuit for operation in the 60GHz range in 90nm CMOS. Physical layout of the test circuit and post-layout simulations for the implementation of a test chip including the QVCO and the first stage divider are also presented.

The book presents the life and works of one of Germany's most famous computer scientists, Carl Adam Petri. It is written in a vivid and entertaining manner, providing an in-depth discussion of the background behind Petri's best-known contribution to computer science, the Petri net.

This book provides a comprehensive description of various slab waveguide structures ranged from graded-index waveguide to symmetrical metal-cladding waveguide.

This book demystifies the models we use to simulate present and future climates, allowing readers to better understand how to use climate model results.

This book focuses on the different representations and cryptographic properties of Booleans functions, presents constructions of Boolean functions with some good cryptographic properties.

This book comprehensively introduces the drilling theory and practice behind CCSD-1 well drilling, the first stage of a key national scientific engineering project of China.

This book presents a comprehensive and systematic introduction to transforming process-oriented data into information about the underlying business process, which is essential for all kinds of decision-making.

This book shows how to systematically approach a complex geotechnical problem, from identifying existing problems, reviewing literature, to dimensional and numerical analyses, validation through full-scale testing and centrifuge model testing.

This book presents current research into the catalytic combustion of methane using perovskite-type oxides (ABO3). Catalytic combustion has been developed as a method of promoting efficient combustion with minimum pollutant formation as compared to conventional catalytic combustion.

This book begins by providing basic information on single-molecule magnets (SMMs), covering the magnetism of lanthanide, the characterization and relaxation dynamics of SMMs and advanced means of studying lanthanide SMMs.

This book explores functional polymers containing aromatic azo chromophores in side-chain, main-chain and other parts of their structures, known as azo polymers and which share common photoresponsive properties.

This concise textbook for students preferably of a postgraduate level, but also for engineers in practice, contains the basic kinematical and kinetic structures of dynamics together with carefully selected applications. Selected problems of linear and nonlinear dynamics are treated, as well as problems of vibration formation.

This innovative teaching atlas provides the reader with a practical approach to the diagnosis and management of the common and uncommon diseases that may involve the pancreatic gland.

The book introduces tourism earth-science as a new scientific discipline by applying the principles of earth-science in the study of natural and human tourism resources.

This book reviews new insights into the seismotectonics of this Central India tectonic zone, based on magnetotelluric studies. Integrates deep electromagnetic analyses with gravity, seismic and heat flow studies and distinct, delineated deep crustal features.

Unique in specializing on cardiac mass, this handbook is the result of cooperation between radiology teams working under the aegis of the French Society of Cardiovascular Imaging. Its review of sequences and protocols highlights their diagnostic capabilities.

The third edition of this book combines physical modeling of mechatronic systems with precise numerical simulation using the Finite Element method. Includes enhanced discussion of principles and methods, and new chapters on acoustic fields and flow fields.

This volume provides an introduction to stochastic differential equations with jumps, in both theory and application. The book is accessible and contains many new results on numerical methods but also innovative methodologies in quantitative finance.
