Abstract

Publikace shrnuje výsledky výzkumu různých typů prostoru v literární tvorbě čtyř francouzských autorek inspirovaných křesťanstvím, M. Noëlové, S. Renaudové, Ch. Singerové a S. Germainové. Jejich literární texty pokrývají celé 20. století a ukazují rozmanitost v přístupech k prostoru, ale také rozdíl v literatuře obou polovin 20. století. Metodologicky práce postupuje od fenomenologického bachelardovského pohledu na intimní prostor domova přes otevřený prostor profánní i posvátný dle studií Mircey Eliadeho ke geokritické analýze prostoru v návaznosti na teorii geokritiky Bertranda Westphala, v českém prostředí dosud téměř nevyužívanou. Studium prostoru ukazuje, že literaturu nelze oddělovat od okolního světa, naopak také ona přispívá k jeho lepšímu porozumění.

Abstract

What is Time? Assuming no prior specialized knowledge by the reader, the book raises specific, hitherto overlooked questions about how time works, such as how and why anyone can be made to be, at the very same instant, simultaneous with events that are actually days apart. It examines abiding issues in the physics of time or at its periphery which still elude a full explanation - such as delayed choice experiments, the brain's perception of time during saccadic masking, and more - and suggests that these phenomena can only exist because they ultimately obey applicable mathematics, thereby agreeing with a modern view that the universe and everything within it, including the mind, are ultimately mathematical structures. It delves into how a number of conundrums, such as the weak Anthropic Principle, could be resolved, and how such resolutions could be tested experimentally. All its various threads converge towards a same new vision of the ultimate essence of time, seen as a side effect from a deeper reality.

Abstract

Anton Pannekoek (1873-1960), prominent astronomer and world-renowned socialist theorist, stood at the nexus of the revolutions in politics, science and the arts of the early twentieth century. His astronomy was uniquely visual and highly innovative, while his politics were radical. Anton Pannekoek: Ways of Viewing Science and Society collects essays on Pannekoek and his contemporaries at the crossroads of political history, the history of science and art history.

Abstract

This perspective of this book views Earth's various layers as a whole system, and tries to understand how to achieve harmony and sustainable development between human society and nature, with the theme of " habitability of the Earth." This book is one effort at providing an overview of some of the recent exciting advances Chinese geoscientists have made. It is the concerted team effort of a group of researchers from diverse backgrounds to generalize their vision for Earth science in the next 10 years. The book is intended for scholars, administrators of the Science and Technology policy department, and science research funding agencies. This is an open access book.

Abstract

As records of the link between a manuscript and the texts it contains, paratexts document many aspects of a manuscript's life: production, transmission, usage, and reception. Comprehensive studies of paratexts are still rare in the field of manuscript studies, and the universal categories of time and space are used to create a common frame for research and comparisons. Contributions in this volume span over three continents and one millennium.

Abstract

In this book I investigate the necessary structure of the aether – the stuff that fills the whole universe. Some of my conclusions are. 1. There is an enormous variety of structures that the aether might, for all we know, have. 2. Probably the aether is point-free. 3. In that case, it should be distinguished from Space-time, which is either a fiction or a construct. 4. Even if the aether has points, we should reject the orthodoxy that all regions are grounded in points by summation. 5. If the aether is point-free but not continuous, its most likely structure has extended atoms that are not simples. 6. Space-time is symmetric if and only if the aether is continuous. 7. If the aether is continuous, we should reject the standard interpretation of General Relativity, in which geometry determines gravity. 8. Contemporary physics undermines an objection to discrete aether based on scale invariance, but does not offer much positive support.

Abstract

5G traffic has very diverse requirements with respect to data rate, delay, and reliability. The concept of using multiple OFDM numerologies adopted in the 5G NR standard will likely meet these multiple requirements to some extent. However, the traffic is radically accruing different characteristics and requirements when compared with the initial stage of 5G, which focused mainly on high-speed multimedia data applications. For instance, applications such as vehicular communications and robotics control require a highly reliable and ultra-low delay. In addition, various emerging M2M applications have sparse traffic with a small amount of data to be delivered. The state-of-the-art OFDM technique has some limitations when addressing the aforementioned requirements at the same time. Meanwhile, numerous waveform alternatives, such as FBMC, GFDM, and UFMC, have been explored. They also have their own pros and cons due to their intrinsic waveform properties. Hence, it is the opportune moment to come up with modification/variations/combinations to the aforementioned techniques or a new waveform design for 5G systems and beyond. The aim of this Special Issue is to provide the latest research and advances in the field of waveform design for 5G systems and beyond.

Abstract

After the books on "La politica e gli spazi politici", "Metafore dello spazio", "Gli spazi immaginati", "Spazi e politica nella modernità tecnologica", this notebook continues the series devoted to illustrating the results of an interdisciplinary study group fostered by Lea Campos Boralevi, Vittore Collina and Bruna Consarelli, lecturers in the history of political theory, entitled "Figure dello spazio, politica e società", and aimed at exploring major political and social issues from the aspect of spaces and their production. Devoted to "Viaggio e politica" it seeks to probe the complex manner in which ideas, theories and models have been shaped over the history of political thought in relation to the journey in its spatial and physical, but also symbolic and imaginary, dimension. It is conceived as a moment of encounter and even clash with reality, problems, 'other' mentalities, and with formation, knowledge and transformation. Appendix: Tavole di Zwinger riprodotte nell'intervento di Lucia Felici, "La Methodus Apodemica di Theodor Zwinger: un osservatorio cinquecentesco della città come spazio politico". Questo quaderno su Viaggio e politica continua la serie della Firenze University Press, nella quale sono finora usciti, a cura di Bruna Consarelli, "La politica e gli spazi" (2003), "Metafore dello spazio" (2004), "Gli spazi immaginati" (2005), "Spazi e politica nella modernità tecnologica" (2006). La serie è dedicata ad illustrare i risultati di un gruppo di studio interdisciplinare, promosso da Lea Campos Boralevi, Vittore Collina e Bruna Consarelli, docenti di Storia delle dottrine politiche, intitolato "Figure dello spazio, politica e società", con l'obiettivo di indagare i grandi temi politici e sociali dell'età moderna e contemporanea, dal punto di vista degli spazi e della loro produzione. "Viaggio e politica" presenta le complesse modalità con cui idee, dottrine, modelli si sono venuti configurando nella storia del pensiero politico rispetto al viaggio nella sua dimensione spaziale e fisica, ma anche simbolica e immaginaria, come momento di formazione, conoscenza e trasformazione nel confronto con realtà, problemi e mentalità 'altri'.

Abstract

This open access book serves as textbook on the physics of the radiation belts surrounding the Earth. Discovered in 1958 the famous Van Allen Radiation belts were among the first scientific discoveries of the Space Age. Throughout the following decades the belts have been under intensive investigation motivated by the risks of radiation hazards they expose to electronics and humans on spacecraft in the Earth’s inner magnetosphere. This textbook teaches the field from basic theory of particles and plasmas to observations which culminated in the highly successful Van Allen Probes Mission of NASA in 2012-2019. Using numerous data examples the authors explain the relevant concepts and theoretical background of the extremely complex radiation belt region, with the emphasis on giving a comprehensive and coherent understanding of physical processes affecting the dynamics of the belts. The target audience are doctoral students and young researchers who wish to learn about the physical processes underlying the acceleration, transport and loss of the radiation belt particles in the perspective of the state-of-the-art observations.
