• Sommario/riassunto: The aim of this book is to explore the challenges facing rural communities and economies and to demonstrate the potential of spatial microsimulation for policy and analysis in a rural context. This is done by providing a comprehensive overview of a particular spatial microsimulation model called SMILE (Simulation Model of the Irish Local Economy). The model has been developed over a ten year period for applied policy analysis in Ireland which is seen as an ideal study area given its large percentage of population living in rural areas. The book reviews the policy context and the state of the art in spatial microsimulation against which SMILE was developed, describes in detail its model design and calibration, and presents example of outputs ; showing what new information the model provides using a spatial matching process. The second part of the book explores a series of rural issues or problems, including the impacts of new or changing government or EU policies, and examines the contribution that spatial microsimulation can provide in each area.

I expect that this book will inspire the next generation of innovators and problem solvers to tackle the challenges and opportunities of today and tomorrow, ensuring a future where technology serves humanity with utmost dependability and safety." --Professor Way Kuo in the Foreword to Design and Manufacturing Practices for Performability Engineering There are several aspects involved when evaluating a system's performance, such as reliability, cost, quality, safety, maintainability, risks, and performance-related characteristics. Performability engineering provides a unified framework for integrating these aspects in a quantified manner, enabling informed decisions about a system. However, this field faces the daunting task of unifying diversified disciplines and theories that address issues such as quality, reliability, availability, maintainability, and safety (QRAMS), as well as engineering characteristics, statistical data analysis, multi-criteria decision-making, and applications of deep and machine learning. This book documents the latest ideas presented by world leaders in the QRAMS domain. Through diverse chapters, this volume represents the vitality of QRAMS in performability engineering. Design and Manufacturing Practices for Performability Engineering serves as a useful resource for practicing engineers and researchers pursuing this challenging and relevant area for sustainable development. Readers will find the book: Comprehensively covers a wide range of topics in the area of QRAMs; Provides in-depth explanations of best practices in various elements of Performability Engineering; Explores expert insights and real-world scenarios to demonstrate the many applications of QRAMs. Audience Researchers and educators of reliability engineering, electrical, computer science, electronics, and communication engineering with their associated allied areas. Industry analysts and design engineers of engineering systems will also find this book valuable.

• Sommario/riassunto: In der vorliegenden Ausgabe werden die bislang wenig beachteten Jesajahomilien des Origenes erstmalig ins Deutsche übersetzt sowie mit Einzelerklärungen und einer umfangreichen Einleitung versehen. In den neun lateinisch erhaltenen Predigten setzt sich der alexandrinische Theologe mit so diffizilen biblischen Motiven wie der Verstockung Israels und Jesajas berühmter Gottes- und Seraphenvision auseinander. ; Im Kontext einer reichen inner- und außerbiblischen Tradition, in die Origenes sich mit seiner Auslegung bewusst stellt, und im Rekurs auf das platonische Denken seiner Zeit entsteht so eine ausgesprochen vielschichtige Darstellung der Theologie des Jesajabuches, die für die Geschichte der Auslegung dieses biblischen Schlüsseltextes ebenso interessant und ergiebig ist wie für das Bild der origeneischen Theologie. Neben Fragen der wechselvollen Überlieferungs- und Rezeptionsgeschichte beleuchtet die Einleitung den überaus komplexen Hintergrund der Jesajadeutung des Origenes. Ein Anhang, in dem die Testimonien zu dem nicht erhaltenen Jesajakommentar des Origenes gesammelt und der im ersten Origenismusstreit entstandene Traktat des Theophilus von Alexandria gegen die origeneische Auslegung mit Übersetzung abgedruckt ist, schließen den Band ab.; In this work Origen's homilies on Isaiah are translated into German for the first time. These homilies, which have previously attracted little attention, are provided with annotations and an extensive introduction. In the nine preserved Latin sermons, the Alexandrian theologian explores such difficult Biblical motives as Israel's obduracy and Isaiah's famous vision of God and the Seraphs. Thus, with recourse to the Platonic thought of his time and consciously confronting the context of a rich biblical and non-biblical tradition with his interpretation, Origen provided a distinctly complex account of the theology of the Book of Isaiah; one which is equally interesting and fruitful for both the historical interpretation of this key biblical text and for our understanding of Origenian theology. Besides questions dealing with the varied history of Origen's Isaiah interpretation and its reception, the introduction sheds light on its extremely complex background. This work is rounded off with an appendix containing a collection of testimonies to Origen's Isaiah commentary (the commentary itself is not included). It also contains a treatise by Theophilus of Alexandria condemning the Origenist interpretation, originating from the First Origenist Crisis, with a translation.
