Covering a breadth of topics, Michael demonstrates how ANT has become a major theoretical framework, influencing scholarly work across a range of fields. Critical and playful, this book fills a notable gap in the literature as Michael expertly explicates the theory and demonstrates how its key concepts can be applied. Comparing and contrasting ANT with other social scientific perspectives, Michael provides a robust and reflexive account of its analytic and empirical promise. A perfect companion for any student of Science and Technology Studies, Sociology, Geography, Management & Organisation Studies, Media & Communication, and Cultural Studies.Actor-network theoryActor-network theory.301.072Michael Mike538679CaToSAGECaToSAGEUtOrBLWBOOK9910793364603321Actor-network theory3841085UNINA05248nam 22006255 450 991030013280332120200630064634.03-319-92586-510.1007/978-3-319-92586-8(CKB)4100000005471833(DE-He213)978-3-319-92586-8(MiAaPQ)EBC6225979(PPN)229915175(EXLCZ)99410000000547183320180803d2018 u| 0engurnn|008mamaatxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierDistributions in the Physical and Engineering Sciences, Volume 3 Random and Anomalous Fractional Dynamics in Continuous Media /by Alexander I.

Applied and Numerical Harmonic Analysis,2296-50093-319-92584-9 Introduction to Volume 3 -- Notation -- Basic Distributional Tools for Probability Theory -- Random Distributions: Generalized Stochastic Processes -- Dynamical and Statistical Characteristics of Random Fields and Waves -- Forced Burgers Turbulence and Passive Tracer Transport in Burgers Flows -- Probability Distributions of Passive Tracers in Randomly Moving Media -- Levy Processes and Their Generalized Derivatives -- Linear Anomalous Fractional Dynamics in Continuous Media -- Nonlinear and Multiscale Anomalous Fractional Dynamics in Continuous Media -- Appendix A: Basic Facts About Distributions -- Bibliography -- Index.Continuing the authors’ multivolume project, this text considers the theory of distributions from an applied perspective, demonstrating how effective a combination of analytic and probabilistic methods can be for solving problems in the physical and engineering sciences. Volume 1 covered foundational topics such as distributional and fractional calculus, the integral transform, and wavelets, and Volume 2 explored linear and nonlinear dynamics in continuous media. With this volume, the scope is extended to the use of distributional tools in the theory of generalized stochastic processes and fields, and in anomalous fractional random dynamics. Chapters cover topics such as probability distributions; generalized stochastic processes, Brownian motion, and the white noise; stochastic differential equations and generalized random fields; Burgers turbulence and passive tracer transport in Burgers flows; and linear, nonlinear, and multiscale anomalous fractional dynamics in continuous media. The needs of the applied-sciences audience are addressed by a careful and rich selection of examples arising in real-life industrial and scientific labs and a thorough discussion of their physical significance. Numerous illustrations generate a better understanding of the core concepts discussed in the text, and a large number of exercises at the end of each chapter expand on these concepts. Distributions in the Physical and Engineering Sciences is intended to fill a gap in the typical undergraduate engineering/physical sciences curricula, and as such it will be a valuable resource for researchers and graduate students working in these areas. The only prerequisites are a three-four semester calculus sequence (including ordinary differential equations, Fourier series, complex variables, and linear algebra), and some probability theory, but basic definitions and facts are covered as needed. An appendix also provides background material concerning the Dirac-delta and other distributions.Applied and Numerical Harmonic Analysis,2296-5009ProbabilitiesEngineering mathematicsFunctional analysisStatisticsProbability Theory and Stochastic Processeshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M27004Engineering Mathematicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T11030Functional Analysishttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M12066Statistics for Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Chemistry and Earth Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/S17020Probabilities.Engineering mathematics.Functional analysis.Statistics.Probability Theory and Stochastic Processes.Engineering Mathematics.Functional Analysis.Statistics for Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Chemistry and Earth Sciences.515.782Saichev Alexander Iauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut344910woyczyński Wojbor Aauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910300132803321Distributions in the Physical and Engineering Sciences, Volume 32022342UNINA
