Topics in Mathematical Physics, General Relativity, and Cosmology in Honor of Jerzy Pleba?ski

One of modern science's most famous and controversial figures, Jerzy Plebanski was an outstanding theoretical physicist and an author of many intriguing discoveries in general relativity and quantum theory. Known for his exceptional analytic talents, explosive character, inexhaustible energy, and bohemian nights with brandy, coffee, and enormous amounts of cigarettes, he was dedicated to both science and art, producing innumerable handwritten articles - resembling monk's calligraphy - as well as a collection of oil paintings. As a collaborator but also an antagonist of Leopold Infeld's (a coauthor of Albert Einstein's), Plebanski is recognized for designing the "heavenly" and "hyper-heavenly" equations, for introducing new variables to describe the gravitational field, for the exact solutions in Einstein's gravity and in quantum theory, for his classification of the tensor of matter, for some outstanding results in nonlinear electrodynamics, and for analyzing general relativity with continuous sources long before Chandrasekhar et al. A tribute to Plebaski's contributions and the variety of his interests, this is a unique and wide-ranging collection of invited papers, covering gravity quantization, strings, branes, supersymmetry, ideas on the deformation quantization, and lesser known results on the continuous Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff problem.

Integrating Technology Into Student Affairs (#9 SAPPI Series)

By: V. Barbara Bush,Hugo A. Garcia

This book is a valuable resource for graduate students in student affairs preparation programs and anyone working in the field of student affairs. It provides readers with a comprehensive guide to the integration of technology in student affairs, drawing on the expertise of leading scholars and practitioners in the field. The chapters in this book explore the many ways in which technology can be used to enhance student engagement, support, and learning outcomes. The topics include the history of technology in student affairs, digital identity, integrating high-tech with high touch on campus, ethical issues with technology, technology and risk management, consideration of the need for social media liaisons in student affairs, technology competency and adaptability, and case study on technology decision-making. Whether you are a seasoned professional or a new practitioner, you can gain a wealth of insights on how to use theoretical models to address digital identity, convert traditional campus functions to technological approaches, apply a conceptual framework for ethical technological practices, enhance campus and community engagement through the development of a social media liaison, navigate technological competency and adaptability issues on campus as well as to identify legal issues arising in daily practice and learn risk management skills. The knowledge, skills, and wisdom provided in this book will guide you not only to incorporate technology into your work but also empower you to leverage technology in innovative ways to better serve the needs of your students and advance the field of student affairs.

Model-Driven and Software Product Line Engineering

By: Jean-Claude Royer,Hugo Arboleda

Many approaches to creating Software Product Lines have emerged that are based on Model-Driven Engineering. This book introduces both Software Product Lines and Model-Driven Engineering, which have separate success stories in industry, and focuses on the practical combination of them. It describes the challenges and benefits of merging these two software development trends and provides the reader with a novel approach and practical mechanisms to improve software development productivity. The book is aimed at engineers and students who wish to understand and apply software product lines and model-driven engineering in their activities today. The concepts and methods are illustrated with two product line examples: the classic smart-home systems and a collection manager information system.
