Sommario/riassunto

This volume is an attempt to rethink Niccolò Machiavelli, one of the most challenging political thinkers in the history of European political thought. In 2013, we will mark 500 years since Machiavelli wrote his puzzling letter to Lorenzo de’ Medici, Il Principe . This book is an endeavor to cover some of the most complex aspects of Machiavelli’s life and work.

Welcome address -- Intensity limitations in circular particle accelerators -- Wake fields and impedances -- Bench methods for bean-coupling impedance measurement -- Coherent beam instabilities -- Observation and correction of instabilities in circular accelerators -- Some longitudinal dynamics of bunched beams -- Low energy aspects of circular accelerators -- High current beam transport in linear accelerator structures -- Observation of high current effects in high energy linear accelerators -- Observations of the beam-beam interaction in Hadron colliders -- Beam-beam effects in electron-positron storage rings -- Coherent beam-beam effects -- Beam-beam phenomena in linear colliders -- Engineering limitations of proton colliders -- Engineering limitations with electrons -- Intrabeam scattering -- Ions and neutralization -- Beam loading in RF cavities -- High-brightness injectors for Hadron colliders -- The next linear collider -- Hadron collider luminosity limitations -- Physics and technology challenges of $$B\bar B$$ factories.

Sommario/riassunto

This is the proceedings of the fourth school in a series of specialized courses organized by CERN's CAS and the American USPAS. It deals with intensity limitations. The contribution thoroughly edited for this publication fall into the following categories: self and environmental fields - coherent instabilities and their simulation - beam-beam interaction - other multi-particle effects - beam source limitations - engineering limitations. This exposition of the inner working of high-intensity particle beams addresses particle physicistsas well as those that commission new machines. The lecturers were chosenas being at the forefront of latest developments in this field.

Sommario/riassunto

Industry 4.0 has spread globally since its inception in 2011, now encompassing many sectors, including its diffusion in the field of financial services. By combining information technology and automation, it is now canvassing the insurance sector, which is in dire need of digital transformation. This book presents a business model of Insurance 4.0 by detailing its implementation in processes, platforms, persons, and partnerships of the insurance companies alongside looking at future developments. Filled with business cases in insurance companies and financial services, this book will be of interest to those academics and researchers of insurance, financial technology, and digital transformation, alongside executives and managers of insurance companies. Bernardo Nicoletti is a Professor of Operations Management at Temple University, Rome, Italy. He also provides consultancy advice



and coaching in Europe, Middle East, and Asia on ICT strategy, process improvement, and financial services. In his research, Bernardo has been particularly active in the application of the agile method and its tools to a variety of industries. He has authored 30 books on management and published 250 articles in domestic and international journals. He frequently speaks at international conferences.
