TY - BOOK A1 - Ackermann, Zeno A1 - Karremann, Isabel A1 - Malhotra, Simi A1 - Zaidi, Nishat T1 - Terrains of Consciousness: Multilogical Perspectives on Globalization N2 - TERRAINS OF CONSCIOUSNESS emerges from an Indian-German-Swiss research collaboration. The book makes a case for a phenomenology of globalization that pays attention to locally situated socioeconomic terrains, everyday practices, and cultures of knowledge. This is exemplified in relation to three topics: - the tension between ‘terrain’ and ‘territory’ in Defoe’s ‘Robinson Crusoe’ as a pioneering work of the globalist mentality (chapter 1) - the relationship between established conceptions of feminism and the concrete struggles of women in India since the 19th century (chapter 2) - the exploration of urban space and urban life in writings on India’s capital – from Ahmed Ali to Arundhati Roy (chapter 3). N2 - TERRAINS OF CONSCIOUSNESS emerges from a transnational research project in which scholars from Jamia Millia Islamia (New Delhi), the JMU Würzburg, and the University of Zurich collaborated to evolve new multilogical perspectives on what is usually referred to as globalization. The book makes a case for a PHENOMENOLOGY OF GLOBALIZATION that pays particular attention to the transformation of locally situated and individually experienced socioeconomic terrains, everyday practices, and cultures of knowledge. This perspective is exemplified in relation to three concrete research topics: - the tension between the concepts of ‘TERRAIN’ and ‘TERRITORY’ in parts one and two of Daniel Defoe’s "Robinson Crusoe as" a pioneering work of the globalist mentality (chapter 1) - the relationship between established abstract conceptions of FEMINISM and the concrete emancipatory struggles and life practices of women in India since the early 19th century (chapter 2) - the exploration of URBAN SPACE and URBAN LIFE as a socio-sensorial terrain in fictional and non-fictional writings on or of Delhi – from Ahmed Ali’s "Twilight in Delhi" (1940) to Arundhati Roy’s "The Ministry of Utmost Happiness" (2017). Throughout, the approach of Terrains of Consciousness is informed by the uncomfortable question of how the ‘liberating’ effects of globalization relate to its limiting and disrupting consequences. In these respects, it is vital to ask how globalization affects the dispossessed inhabitants of the world and its various societies.

They were composed probably in Asia Minor during the second or third century CE. The bulk of these hymns are made up of divine epithets often linked together in chains of considerable length. The lexicon attempts to give a comprehensive account of the roughly 850 epithets, bringing together the most relevant information scattered in the scholarly literature and adding others from various sources (literary, epigraphic, lexicographic, scholia etc.) in order to provide an overview of their usage and the main details of their models.

Auflage ER - TY - BOOK A1 - Tran-Gia, Phuoc A1 - Hoßfeld, Tobias T1 - Performance Modeling and Analysis of Communication Networks BT - A Lecture Note N2 - This textbook provides an introduction to common methods of performance modeling and analysis of communication systems. These methods form the basis of traffic engineering, teletraffic theory, and analytical system dimensioning. The fundamentals of probability theory, stochastic processes, Markov processes, and embedded Markov chains are presented. Basic queueing models are described with applications in communication networks. Advanced methods are presented that have been frequently used in recent practice, especially discrete-time analysis algorithms, or which go beyond classical performance measures such as Quality of Experience or energy efficiency. Recent examples of modern communication networks include Software Defined Networking and the Internet of Things. Throughout the book, illustrative examples are used to provide practical experience in performance modeling and analysis. Target group: The book is aimed at students and scientists in computer science and technical computer science, operations research, electrical engineering and economics. N2 - Dieses Lehrbuch bietet eine Einführung in gängige Methoden zur Modellbildung und analytische Leistungsbewertung von Kommunikationssystemen. Diese Methoden bilden die Grundlage für Verkehrstheorie und Systemdimensionierung. Die Grundlagen der Wahrscheinlichkeitstheorie, stochastische Prozesse, Markov-Prozesse und eingebettete Markov-Ketten werden vorgestellt. Grundlegende Warteschlangenmodelle werden mit Anwendungen aus Kommunikationsnetzwerken beschrieben. Es werden auch weiterführende Methoden vorgestellt, die in der jüngeren Praxis häufig verwendet wurden, insbesondere zeitdiskrete Analysealgorithmen, oder QoE und Energieeffizienz. Aktuelle Beispiele für moderne Kommunikationsnetze sind Software Defined Networking oder das Internet der Dinge. Im gesamten Buch werden anschauliche Beispiele verwendet, um praktische Erfahrungen in der Leistungsmodellierung und -analyse zu vermitteln. Zielgruppe: Das Buch richtet sich an Studierende und WissenschaftlerInnen aus den Bereichen Informatik und technische Informatik, Operations Research, Elektrotechnik und Wirtschaftswissenschaft.
