Among the new topics included are, for example, polyhedral metric space, nearness matrix problems, distances between belief assignments, distance-related animal settings, diamond-cutting distances, natural units of length, Heidegger?s de-severance distance, and brain distances. The publication of this volume coincides with intensifying research efforts into metric spaces and especially distance design for applications. Accurate metrics have become a crucial goal in computational biology, image analysis, speech recognition and information retrieval. Leaving aside the practical questions that arise during the selection of a ?good? distance function, this work focuses on providing the research community with an invaluable comprehensive listing of the main available distances. As well as providing standalone introductions and definitions, the encyclopedia facilitates swift cross-referencing with easily navigable bold-faced textual links to core entries. In addition to distances themselves, the authors have collated numerous fascinating curiosities in their Who?s Who of metrics, including distance-related notions and paradigms that enable applied mathematicians in other sectors to deploy research tools that non-specialists justly view as arcane. In expanding access to these techniques, and in many cases enriching the context of distances themselves, this peerless volume is certain to stimulate fresh research. 606 $aGeometry 606 $aGeometry, Differential 606 $aTopology 606 $aComputer science$xMathematics 606 $aMathematics 606 $aVisualization 606 $aApplied mathematics 606 $aEngineering mathematics 606 $aGeometry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M21006 606 $aDifferential Geometry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M21022 606 $aTopology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M28000 606 $aComputational Mathematics and Numerical Analysis$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M1400X 606 $aVisualization$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M14034 606 $aMathematical and Computational Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T11006 615 0$aGeometry. 615 0$aGeometry, Differential. 615 0$aTopology. 615 0$aComputer science$xMathematics. 615 0$aMathematics. 615 0$aVisualization. 615 0$aApplied mathematics. 615 0$aEngineering mathematics. 615 14$aGeometry. 615 24$aDifferential Geometry. 615 24$aTopology. 615 24$aComputational Mathematics and Numerical Analysis. 615 24$aVisualization. 615 24$aMathematical and Computational Engineering. 676 $a004 676 $a510 676 $a514 676 $a516 700 $aDeza$b Michel Marie$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0104076 702 $aDeza$b Elena$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299980903321 996 $aEncyclopedia of Distances$92129509 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05265nam 22006375 450 001 9910299405003321 005 20200630121534.0 010 $a981-10-6126-2 024 7 $a10.1007/978-981-10-6126-4 035 $a(CKB)4100000001381711 035 $a(DE-He213)978-981-10-6126-4 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5185120 035 $a(PPN)222226498 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000001381711 100 $a20171206d2018 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurnn|008mamaa 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aCrossing Borders $eGoverning Environmental Disasters in a Global Urban Age in Asia and the Pacific /$fedited by Michelle Ann Miller, Michael Douglass, Matthias Garschagen 205 $a1st ed. 2018. 210 1$aSingapore :$cSpringer Singapore :$cImprint: Springer,$d2018. 215 $a1 online resource (XV, 288 p. 19 illus.) 311 $a981-10-6125-4 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index. 327 $a1.

Combining theoretical advances with contextually rich studies, the book examines efforts to tackle the complexities of cross-border environmental governance. In an urban age in which disasters are not easily contained within neatly delineated jurisdictions, both in terms of their interconnected causalities and their cascading effects, governance structures and mechanisms are faced with major challenges related to cooperation, collaboration and information sharing. This book helps bridge the gap between theory and practice by offering fresh insights and contrasting explanations for variations in transboundary disaster governance regimes among urbanising populations in the Asia-Pacific. 606 $aEnvironmental management 606 $aEnvironmental policy 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aUrban geography 606 $aClimatic changes 606 $aEnvironmental Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U17009 606 $aEnvironmental Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X33040 606 $aGovernance and Government$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911220 606 $aUrban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns)$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J15010 606 $aClimate Change$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U12007 615 0$aEnvironmental management. 615 0$aEnvironmental policy. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aUrban geography. 615 0$aClimatic changes. 615 14$aEnvironmental Management. 615 24$aEnvironmental Policy. 615 24$aGovernance and Government. 615 24$aUrban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns). 615 24$aClimate Change. 676 $a333.7 702 $aMiller$b Michelle Ann$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aDouglass$b Michael$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aGarschagen$b Matthias$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299405003321 996 $aCrossing borders$92034694 997 $aUNINA
