Sommario/riassunto

This book gathers select contributions from the 32nd International Congress and Exhibition on Condition Monitoring and Diagnostic Engineering Management (COMADEM 2019), held at the University of Huddersfield, UK in September 2019, and jointly organized by the University of Huddersfield and COMADEM International. The aim of the Congress was to promote awareness of the rapidly emerging interdisciplinary areas of condition monitoring and diagnostic engineering management. The contents discuss the latest tools and techniques in the multidisciplinary field of performance monitoring, root cause failure modes analysis, failure diagnosis, prognosis, and proactive management of industrial systems. There is a special focus on digitally enabled asset management and covers several topics such as condition monitoring, maintenance, structural health monitoring, non-destructive testing and other allied areas. Bringing together expert contributions from academia and industry, this book will be a valuable resource for those interested in latest condition monitoring and asset management techniques. .

Sommario/riassunto

"Riyukta Raghunath's monograph offers a stimulating reappraisal of alternate history fiction. This cognitively informed approach, supported



by thorough readings of counterfactual World War II novels, demonstrates the vitality of possible worlds-based theories of narrative." - Marco Caracciolo, Ghent University, Belgium This book offers a comprehensive Possible Worlds framework with which to analyse counterfactual historical fiction. Counterfactual historical fiction is a literary genre that comprises narratives set in worlds whose histories run contrary to the history of our world, usually speculating on what would have happened had a significant historical event (such as a war) turned out differently. The author develops a systematic critical approach based on a customised model of Possible Worlds Theory supplemented by cognitive concepts that account for the different processes that readers go through when they read counterfactualhistorical fiction, a genre which relies heavily on pre-existing knowledge about history and culture. This book will be of interest to anyone working with Possible Worlds, including within the fields of philosophy, literary studies, stylistics, cognitive poetics, and narratology. Riyukta Raghunath is a Lecturer in the English department at New College of the Humanities, UK.

Sommario/riassunto

Complexity science affords a number of novel tools for examining terrorism, particularly network analysis and NK-Boolean fitness landscapes as well as other tools drawn from non-linear dynamical systems modeling. This book follows the methodologies of complex adaptive systems research in their application to addressing the problems of terrorism, specifically terrorist networks, their structure and various methods of mapping and interdicting them as well as exploring the complex landscape of network-centric and irregular warfare. A variety of new models and approaches are presented here, including Dynamic Network Analysis, DIME/PMESII models, percolation models and emergent models of insurgency. In addition, the analysis is informed by practical experience, with analytical and policy guidance from authors who have served within the U.S. Department of Defense, the British Ministry of Defence as well as those who have served in a civilian capacity as advisors on terrorism and counter-terrorism.
