Abstract

From the Publisher: A brilliant state-of-the-art report on how the landmark theory of multiple intelligences is radically changing our understanding of education and human development. Since its original description in Frames of Mind (1983, 1993), the theory of multiple intelligences has taken its place as one of the seminal ideas of the twentieth century. Further explicated in Gardner's 1993 book, Multiple Intelligences, these ideas continue to attract attention and generate controversy all over the world. Now, in Intelligence Reframed, Gardner provides a much-needed state of the art report on the theory. He describes how it has evolved and been revised. He introduces two new intelligences, and argues that the concept of intelligence should be broadened, but not so much that it includes every human faculty and value. In addition, he offers practical guidance on the educational uses of the theory, and responds in lively dialogue to the critiques leveled against it. Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner has been acclaimed as the most influential educational theorist since John Dewey. His ideas about intelligence and creativity-explicated in such bestselling books as Frames of Mind and Multiple Intelligences (over 200,000 copies in print combined)-have revolutionized our thinking. In his groundbreaking 1983 book Frames of Mind, Howard Gardner first introduced the theory of multiple intelligences, which posits that intelligence is more than a single property of the human mind. That theory has become widely accepted as one of the seminal ideas of the twentieth century and continues to attract attention all over the world. Now in Intelligence Reframed, Gardner provides a much-needed report on the theory, its evolution and revisions. He offers practical guidance on the educational uses of the theory and responds to the critiques leveled against him. He also introduces two new intelligences (existential intelligence and naturalist intelligence) and argues that the concept of intelligence should be broadened, but not so absurdly that it includes every human virtue and value. Ultimately, argues Gardner, possessing a basic set of seven or eight intelligences is not only a unique trademark of the human species, but also perhaps even a working definition of the species. Gardner also offers provocative ideas about creativity, leadership, and moral excellence, and speculates about the relationship between multiple intelligences and the world of work in the future.

Abstract

Binary systems of stars are as common as single stars. Stars evolve primarily by nuclear reactions in their interiors, but a star with a binary companion can also have its evolution influenced by the companion. Multiple star systems can exist stably for millions of years, but can ultimately become unstable as one star grows in radius until it engulfs another. This volume, first published in 2006, discusses the statistics of binary stars; the evolution of single stars; and several of the most important kinds of interaction between two (and even three or more) stars. Some of the interactions discussed are Roche-lobe overflow, tidal friction, gravitational radiation, magnetic activity driven by rapid rotation, stellar winds, magnetic braking and the influence of a distant third body on a close binary orbit. A series of mathematical appendices gives a concise but full account of the mathematics of these processes.

Abstract

Uniquely, this book proposes robust space-time code designs for real-world wireless channels. Through a unified framework, it emphasizes how propagation mechanisms such as space-time frequency correlations and coherent components impact the MIMO system performance under realistic power constraints. Combining a solid mathematical analysis with a physical and intuitive approach to space-time coding, the book progressively derives innovative designs, taking into consideration that MIMO channels are often far from ideal.The various chapters of this book provide an essential, complete and r

Abstract

Annotation "This resource takes professionals step by step from the basics of MIMO through various coding techniques, to critical topics such as multiplexing and packet transmission. Practical examples are emphasized and mathematics is kept to a minimum, so readers can quickly and thoroughly understand the essentials of MIMO. The book takes a systems view of MIMO technology that helps professionals analyze the benefits and drawbacks of any MIMO system."--BOOK JACKET.

Abstract

De nos jours, la ville est de plus en plus dense et multifonctionnelle. Dans un même quartier, un même bâtiment tout est réuni : les services, les commerces, les bureaux et les habitations. Le nouvel urbanisme est constitué de tours multifonctionnelles. Exemple de projets de tours de par le monde : le projet Bryghus(Copenhague), Metacity (Rotterdam), De Rotterdam (Rotterdam), 111 First Street (Jersey) et Renaissance de Dubai par OMA ; Transformation de l'entrepôt Macdonald (Paris) par OMA, FAA+XDGA ; Halle de marché (Rotterdam) par MVRDV ; le Park St Jacques (Bâle) par Herzog et de Meuron ; Lynked Hybrid (Beijing), Sliced Porosity Block (Chengdu) et Centre Vanke (Shenzhen) par Steven Holl Architects ; Toni Areal (Zurich) par EM2N ; Tour à usage mixte Low2No (Helsinki) et Musée Plaza (Louisville) par REX ; Sky Village (Rodovre) par ADEPT + MVRDV ; la Tour Scala (Copenhague) par BIG ; The Edge (Dubai) par RCR Arquitectes ; Tour Porte de La Chapelle (Paris) et Mixed-use Block à (Nanjing) par Iñaki Abalos, Renata Sentkiewicz et Atelier L+ ; Tour/bloc par Stan Allen, Rafi Segal à (New York) ; Tour Signal (Paris) par Jean Nouvel.
