Starting with preliminaries on Bayesian statistics and Monte Carlo methods, followed by material on imprecise probabilities, it then focuses on reliability theory and simulation methods for complex systems. The final two chapters discuss various aspects of aerospace engineering, considering stochastic model updating from an imprecise Bayesian perspective, and uncertainty quantification for aerospace flight modelling. Written by experts in the subject, and based on lectures given at the Second Training School of the European Research and Training Network UTOPIAE (Uncertainty Treatment and Optimization in Aerospace Engineering), which took place at Durham University (United Kingdom) from 2 to 6 July 2018, the book offers an essential resource for students as well as scientists and practitioners.SpringerBriefs in Statistics EnginyeriathubEstadística matemàticathubProbabilitatsthubIncertesathubLlibres electrònicsthubUncertainty quantificationEngineering applicationsImprecise ProbabilitiesBayesian StatisticsMarkov ChainsReliabilityComplex systemsInconsistent informationModel validationExperimental measurementsOpen AccessEnginyeriaEstadística matemàticaProbabilitatsIncertesaAslett Louis J.

Rabaté, a former president of the Samuel Beckett Society and a leading scholar of modernism, explores the whole range of Beckett’s plays, novels, and essays. He places Beckett in a vital philosophical conversation that runs from Bataille to Adorno, from Kant and Sade to Badiou. At the same time, he stresses Beckett’s inimitable sense of metaphysical comedy. Foregrounding Beckett’s decision to write in French, Rabaté inscribes him in a continental context marked by a “writing degree zero” while showing the prescience and ethical import of Beckett’s tendency to subvert the “human” through the theme of the animal. Beckett’s “declaration of inhuman rights,” he argues, offers the funniest mode of expression available to us today.LiteraturePhilosophyTheaterPhilosophyLiteraturePhilosophy.TheaterPhilosophy.848/91409Rabate Jean-Michel1949-391201MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910815687103321Think, pig4089053UNINA
