    Karaoke and the Construction of Identity in Chinese America

    by Casey M.K. Lum ...
    Series series Everyday Communication Series
    Originating in Japan early in the 1970s as a simple sing-along technology, karaoke has become a hybrid media form designed to integrate mass-mediated popular music, video images, computer graphics, and the live musical performance of its human users. Not only has karaoke become a multimillion-dollar entertainment industry, its varied uses have also evolved into diverse popular cultural and social ... Read more

  • Diversity and Complexity

    by Scott E. Page ...
    Series series Primers in Complex Systems
    This book provides an introduction to the role of diversity in complex adaptive systems. A complex system--such as an economy or a tropical ecosystem--consists of interacting adaptive entities that produce dynamic patterns and structures. Diversity plays a different role in a complex system than it does in an equilibrium system, where it often merely produces variation around the mean for ... Read more

  • The Interplay of Truth and Deception: New Agendas in Theory and Research

    New Agendas in Theory and Research

    Edited by Matthew S. McGlone, Mark L. Knapp ...
    Series series New Agendas in Communication Series
    During the past 30 years, there have been a steadily increasing number of scientific and popular publications dealing with lying and deception. Questions about the extent to which public officials are deceptive are standard fare in current magazines and newspapers. This volume aims to present on a more precise conceptualization of this phenomenon, manifested in some well-known constructions like ... Read more

  • Coherent States, Wavelets, and Their Generalizations

    by Syed Twareque Ali, Jean-Pierre Antoine, Jean-Pierre Gazeau ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This second edition is fully updated, covering in particular new types of coherent states (the so-called Gazeau-Klauder coherent states, nonlinear coherent states, squeezed states, as used now routinely in quantum optics) and various generalizations of wavelets (wavelets on manifolds, curvelets, shearlets, etc.). In addition, it contains a new chapter on coherent state quantization and the related ... Read more

  • Introduction to Coalgebra

    Towards Mathematics of States and Observation

    by Bart Jacobs ...
    Series Book 59 - Cambridge Tracts in Theoretical Computer Science
    The area of coalgebra has emerged within theoretical computer science with a unifying claim: to be the mathematics of computational dynamics. It combines ideas from the theory of dynamical systems and from the theory of state-based computation. Although still in its infancy, it is an active area of research that generates wide interest. Written by one of the founders of the field, this book acts ... Read more

    by Askold Khovanskii ...
    Translated by Vladlen Timorin, Valentina Kiritchenko ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    The first part of this book provides an elementary and self-contained exposition of classical Galois theory and its applications to questions of solvability of algebraic equations in explicit form. The second part describes a surprising analogy between the fundamental theorem of Galois theory and the classification of coverings over a topological space. The third part contains a geometric ...

  • Group Processes

    Edited by John M. Levine ...
    Series series Frontiers of Social Psychology
    It is impossible to understand human behavior without understanding the critical role that groups play in people’s lives. Most of us belong to a range of formal and informal groups, including families, work teams, and friendship cliques. These groups absorb a great deal of our time and energy and are instrumental in satisfying our most fundamental needs. In addition, they connect us to larger ... Read more

  • Finiteness Properties of Arithmetic Groups Acting on Twin Buildings

    by Stefan Witzel ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    Providing an accessible approach to a special case of the Rank Theorem, the present text considers the exact finiteness properties of S-arithmetic subgroups of split reductive groups in positive characteristic when S contains only two places. While the proof of the general Rank Theorem uses an involved reduction theory due to Harder, by imposing the restrictions that the group is split and that S ... Read more

  • Pseudo-reductive Groups

    by Brian Conrad, Ofer Gabber, Gopal Prasad ...
    Series Book 26 - New Mathematical Monographs
    Pseudo-reductive groups arise naturally in the study of general smooth linear algebraic groups over non-perfect fields and have many important applications. This monograph provides a comprehensive treatment of the theory of pseudo-reductive groups and gives their classification in a usable form. In this second edition there is new material on relative root systems and Tits systems for general ... Read more
