Debate and Dialogue Christian and Pagan Cultures c. 360-430

Debate and Dialogue Christian and Pagan Cultures c. 360-430

This book explores the construction of Christian identity in fourth and fifth centuries through inventing fabricating and sharpening binary oppositions. Such oppositions for example Christians - pagans; truth - falsehood; the one true god - the multitude of demons; the right religion - superstition served to create and reinforce the Christian self-identity. The author examines how the Christian argumentation against pagans was intertwined with self-perception and self-affirmation. Discussing the relations and interaction between pagan and Christian cultures this book aims at widening historical understanding of the cultural conflicts and the otherness in world history thus contributing to the ongoing discussion about the historical and conceptual basis of cultural tolerance and intolerance. This book offers a valuable contribution to contemporary scholarly debate about Late Antique religious history and the relationship between Christianity and other religions. | Debate and Dialogue Christian and Pagan Cultures c. 360-430

The Development of Marketing Management The Case of the USA c. 1910-1940

The Development of Marketing Management The Case of the USA c. 1910-1940

There has been much discussion about the origin of marketing and marketing thought and whether it was truly American in origin. Nevertheless it is true that US marketing management thought was very influential throughout the world in the latter half of the twentieth century becoming dominant after the Second World War. In order to recognize why and how this kind of thought developed in the USA it is necessary to explore the historical contexts in which the marketing management thought was produced and developed at this time as well as the contents of the thought. This work argues that while doubts about the US origin of marketing are acceptable marketing management thought which especially appeals to mass producers such as the USA developed according to their particular needs. This book looks at the relationship between theories of marketing and the historical context in which they were developed rescuing them from later generalizations that failed to take into account contemporary social and economic factors. | The Development of Marketing Management The Case of the USA c. 1910-1940

Performance Analysis of Queuing and Computer Networks

Performance Analysis of Queuing and Computer Networks

Performance Analysis of Queuing and Computer Networks develops simple models and analytical methods from first principles to evaluate performance metrics of various configurations of computer systems and networks. It presents many concepts and results of probability theory and stochastic processes. After an introduction to queues in computer networks this self-contained book covers important random variables such as Pareto and Poisson that constitute models for arrival and service disciplines. It then deals with the equilibrium M/M/1/∞queue which is the simplest queue that is amenable for analysis. Subsequent chapters explore applications of continuous time state-dependent single Markovian queues the M/G/1 system and discrete time queues in computer networks. The author then proceeds to study networks of queues with exponential servers and Poisson external arrivals as well as the G/M/1 queue and Pareto interarrival times in a G/M/1 queue. The last two chapters analyze bursty self-similar traffic and fluid flow models and their effects on queues.

Modeling and Simulation-Based Systems Engineering Handbook

Modeling and Simulation-Based Systems Engineering Handbook

The capability modeling and simulation (M&S) supplies for managing systems complexity and investigating systems behaviors has made it a central activity in the development of new and existing systems. However a handbook that provides established M&S practices has not been available. Until now. Modeling and Simulation-Based Systems Engineering Handbook details the M&S practices for supporting systems engineering in diverse domains. It discusses how you can identify systems engineering needs and adapt these practices to suit specific application domains thus avoiding redefining practices from scratch. Although M&S practices are used and embedded within individual disciplines they are often developed in isolation. However they address recurring problems common to all disciplines. The editors of this book tackled the challenge by recruiting key representatives from several communities harmonizing the different perspectives derived from individual backgrounds and lining them up with the book’s vision. The result is a collection of M&S systems engineering examples that offer an initial means for cross-domain capitalization of the knowledge methodologies and technologies developed in several communities. These examples provide the pros and cons of the methods and techniques available lessons learned and pitfalls to avoid. As our society moves further in the information era knowledge and M&S capabilities become key enablers for the engineering of complex systems and systems of systems. Therefore knowledge and M&S methodologies and technologies become valuable output in an engineering activity and their cross-domain capitalization is key to further advance the future practices in systems engineering. This book collates information across disciplines to provide you with the tools to more efficiently design and manage complex systems that achieve their goals.

Random Circulant Matrices

Random Circulant Matrices

Circulant matrices have been around for a long time and have been extensively used in many scientific areas. This book studies the properties of the eigenvalues for various types of circulant matrices such as the usual circulant the reverse circulant and the k-circulant when the dimension of the matrices grow and the entries are random. In particular the behavior of the spectral distribution of the spectral radius and of the appropriate point processes are developed systematically using the method of moments and the various powerful normal approximation results. This behavior varies according as the entries are independent are from a linear process and are light- or heavy-tailed. Arup Bose obtained his B. Stat. M. Stat. and Ph. D. degrees from the Indian Statistical Institute. He has been on its faculty at the Theoretical Statistics and Mathematics Unit Kolkata India since 1991.
