Vulnerability, Territory, Population: From Critique to Public Policy
by Samuel Rufat Pascale MetzgerDuring the Covid-19 pandemic, the term "vulnerable" was applied to "individuals" and to "populations", "groups" and "countries" in discussions, laws and regulations; now it applies to all objects in relation to all kinds of threats. However, rather than a label for governing people and places, the notion of "vulnerability" was expected to become an instrument to tackle the root causes of disasters, poverty and maldevelopment, as well as the inequalities and injustices they bring, whether social, political, economic or environmental. Despite this radical dimension, vulnerability has gradually been incorporated into public policies and international recommendations for global risk and disaster management. This book is intended for researchers, students, managers and decision makers concerned with the management of not only risks and crises but also climate and environmental change. The first part examines the multiple theoretical and conceptual approaches; the second explores vulnerability assessments, using examples from the Global North and Global South; and the third discusses tools, public policies and actions taken to reduce vulnerability.
Advanced Linear Algebra (Textbooks in Mathematics)
by Hugo WoerdemanAdvanced Linear Algebra features a student-friendly approach to the theory of linear algebra. The author’s emphasis on vector spaces over general fields, with corresponding current applications, sets the book apart. He focuses on finite fields and complex numbers, and discusses matrix algebra over these fields. The text then proceeds to cover vector spaces in depth. Also discussed are standard topics in linear algebra including linear transformations, Jordan canonical form, inner product spaces, spectral theory, and, as supplementary topics, dual spaces, quotient spaces, and tensor products. Written in clear and concise language, the text sticks to the development of linear algebra without excessively addressing applications. A unique chapter on "How to Use Linear Algebra" is offered after the theory is presented. In addition, students are given pointers on how to start a research project. The proofs are clear and complete and the exercises are well designed. In addition, full solutions are included for almost all exercises.
General Theory of Leibniz Algebras (Synthesis Lectures on Mathematics & Statistics)
by Leonid Kurdachenko Oleksandr Pypka Igor SubbotinThis book discusses many interesting results have been obtained in Leibniz algebras over the past two decades. The authors not only summarize recent results and methods successfully used in Leibniz algebras, but also show new prospective horizons. Any mathematical theories have a number of natural problems that arise in the process of its development, and these problems quite often have analogues in other areas such as differential geometry, homological algebra, classical algebraic topology, noncommutative geometry, etc. With this in mind the authors describe the general structure of Leibniz algebras that have already been discovered. This approach allows readers to see which parts of the theory should be developed further and also shows the significant differences of Leibniz algebras from Lie algebras. Recent results that constitute the naturally evolving general theory of the subject are then explored.
Linear Algebra in Data Science (Compact Textbooks in Mathematics)
by Peter Zizler Roberta La HayeThis textbook explores applications of linear algebra in data science at an introductory level, showing readers how the two are deeply connected. The authors accomplish this by offering exercises that escalate in complexity, many of which incorporate MATLAB. Practice projects appear as well for students to better understand the real-world applications of the material covered in a standard linear algebra course. Some topics covered include singular value decomposition, convolution, frequency filtering, and neural networks. Linear Algebra in Data Science is suitable as a supplement to a standard linear algebra course.

Evolution Seen from the Phase Diagram of Life (Evolutionary Studies)
by Shigeki Mitaku Ryusuke SawadaThis book aims to understand biological evolution through a physical approach, focusing on the macroscopic aspects of the biological genome. Readers will discover the connection between genomic information and the harmony of biological systems, a relationship that remains elusive to many researchers in biological sciences.The most common approach to understanding living organisms with physics is to begin with a single molecule of an organism. In contrast to this bottom-up approach, building from each molecule to the whole, this book takes a coarse-grained approach at the amino acid level to physically understand the macroscopic aspects of the organism. The book presents a system developed by the authors to predict membrane proteins with high accuracy using only physical parameters. Another distinctive perspective of this book is that it proposes the idea of a physical mechanism, other than natural selection, that orchestrates the emergence of order from random processes.The study of macroscopic aspects of living organisms based on this concept has parallels with thermostatistical mechanics for states of matter. Just as random processes create order in matter, there are physical random processes that form order in living organisms. This analogy is the central theme of the book.Using terms and analogies familiar to physicists, the book bridges the gap between biological and physical sciences. The book focuses on simple principles and is aimed primarily at researchers. While the content of this book is at the boundary area of biophysics, soft matter physics and bioinformatics, it will also be of interest to researchers and graduate students working on any biological topics.
