Index Langues : Français (fre) Tags : oiseaux des villes  ecologie  birds  ecology  urbanisation  Aspect environnemental  environmental aspects Résumé : "As natural habitat continues to be lost and the world steadily becomes more urbanized, biologists are increasingly studying the effect this has on wildlife. Birds are particularly good model systems since their life history, behaviour, and physiology are especially influenced by directly measurable environmental factors such as light and sound pollution. It is therefore relatively easy to compare urban individuals and populations with their rural counterparts. This accessible text focuses on the behavioural and physiological mechanisms which facilitate adaptation and on the evolutionary process that ensues. It discusses topics such as acoustics, reproductive cues, disease, and artificial feeding, and includes a series of case studies illustrating cutting edge research on these areas.

Networks: an introduction / Mark Newman

Titre : Networks: an introduction Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Mark Newman, Auteur Editeur : Oxford University Press Année de publication : 2010 Importance : (XI-772 p.) ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-920665-0 Langues : Anglais (eng) Tags : system analysis  network analysis (planning)  systems biology  Engineering systems  Social systems  Réseaux d'ordinateurs  Réseaux (mathématiques)  Analyse de réseau (planification)  Systèmes, Analyse de Résumé : The scientific study of networks, including computer networks, social networks, and biological networks, has received an enormous amount of interest in the last few years. The rise of the Internet and the wide availability of inexpensive computers have made it possible to gather and analyze network data on a large scale, and the development of a variety of new theoretical tools has allowed us to extract new knowledge from many different kinds of networks. The study of networks is broadly interdisciplinary and important developments have occurred in many fields, including mathematics, physics, computer and information sciences, biology, and the social sciences. This book brings together for the first time the most important breakthroughs in each of these fields and presents them in a coherent fashion, highlighting the strong interconnections between work in different areas. Subjects covered include the measurement and structure of networks in many branches of science, methods for analyzing network data, including methods developed in physics, statistics, and sociology, the fundamentals of graph theory, computer algorithms, and spectral methods, mathematical models of networks, including random graph models and generative models, and theories of dynamical processes taking place on networks.

The oxford handbook of innovation / Jan Fagerberg

Public ISBD Aucun avis sur cette notice. Titre : The oxford handbook of innovation Type de document : ouvrage Auteurs : Jan Fagerberg, Editeur scientifique ; David C. Mowery, Editeur scientifique ; Richard R. Nelson, Editeur scientifique Editeur : Oxford University Press Année de publication : 2005 Importance : (XVIII-656 p.) ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-928680-5 Langues : Anglais (eng) Tags : Technological innovations  Creative ability in business  Innovations  Créativité dans les affaires  Innovation Résumé : This handbook looks to provide academics and students with a comprehensive and holistic understanding of the phenomenon of innovation. Innovation spans a number of fields within the social sciences and humanities: Management, Economics, Geography, Sociology, Politics, Psychology, and History. Consequently, the rapidly increasing body of literature on innovation is characterized by a multitude of perspectives based on, or cutting across, existing disciplines and specializations. Scholars of innovation can come from such diverse starting points that much of this literature can be missed, and so constructive dialogues missed. The editors of The Oxford Handbook of Innovation have carefully selected and designed twenty-one contributions from leading academic experts within their particular field, each focusing on a specific aspect of innovation. These have been organized into four main sections, the first of which looks at the creation of innovations, with particular focus on firms and networks. Section Two provides an account of the wider systematic setting influencing innovation and the role of institutions and organizations in this context. Section Three explores some of the diversity in the working of innovation over time and across different sectors of the economy, and Section Four focuses on the consequences of innovation with respect to economic growth, international competitiveness, and employment. An introductory overview, concluding remarks, and guide to further reading for each chapter, make this handbook a key introduction and vital reference work for researchers, academics, and advanced students of innovation.
