Learning from the slums for the Development of Emerging Cities

This book deals with slums as a specific question and a central focus in urban planning. It radically reverses the official version of the history of world cities as narrated during decades: slums are not at the margin of the contemporary process of urbani ...

Multiple Points Of The Brownian Sheet In Critical Dimensions

Robert Dalang

It is well known that an N-parameter d-dimensional Brownian sheet has no k-multiple points when (k - 1)d > 2kN, and does have such points when (k - 1)d < 2kN. We complete the study of the existence of k-multiple points by showing that in the critical cases ...

Orchestration Graphs

Pierre Dillenbourg

By modeling pedagogical scenarios as directed geometrical graphs and proposing an associated modeling language, this book describes how rich learning activities, often designed for small classes, can be scaled up for use with thousands of participants. Wit ...

Tag-based Paper Retrieval: Minimizing User Effort with Diversity Awareness

Karl Aberer, Quoc Viet Hung Nguyen, Thành Tâm Nguyên, Son Thanh Do

As the number of scientific papers getting published is likely to soar, most of modern paper management systems (e.g. ScienceWise, Mendeley, CiteULike) support tag-based retrieval. In that, each paper is associated with a set of \emph{tags}, allowing user ...

Effective Critical Electric Field for Runaway-Electron Generation

Joan Decker

In this Letter we investigate factors that influence the effective critical electric field for runaway-electron generation in plasmas. We present numerical solutions of the kinetic equation and discuss the implications for the threshold electric field. We ...

The orchestrated collaborative classroom: Designing and making sense of heterogeneous ecologies of teaching and learning resources

Luis Pablo Prieto Santos

The physical face-to-face classroom still represents the core educational setting in which everyday CSCL practice takes place. However, current classrooms are not limited anymore to books, blackboards and other physical artifacts: laptops, tablets, digital ...

Sensitivity of drift capacities of URM walls to cumulative damage demands and implications on loading protocols for quasi-static cyclic tests

Katrin Beyer, Panagiotis Mergos

Displacement-based seismic design and assessment procedures require as key input parameter estimates of displacement capacities of the critical elements. The displacement capacities of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls are typically determined by means of q ...
