Rejoignez le combat et restaurez la flamme de l'honneur et de la justice ! Dans un système solaire lointain, des mechas appelés Armorclads sont utilisés pour bâtir des mondes et faire la guerre. Sur Xeru, de jeunes esclaves génétiquement créés passent leur courte vie à miner la Pure, un minerai essentiel, dans des mechas de construction, les Ironclads. Lorsqu'un des leurs est tué dans un accident, leur monde bascule, et ils décident de défier leurs oppresseurs. Sur le chemin de la révolte, ils réaliseront qu'ils pourraient être la clé d'un mystère enfoui dans les siècles, à l'époque des légendaires Armures-Dieux qui assuraient paix et prospérité

This book provides a new model to explore discoverability and enhance the meaning of information. The authors have coined the term epidata, which includes items and circumstances that impact the expression of the data in a document, but are not part of the ordinary process of retrieval systems. Epidata affords pathways and points to details that cast light on proximities that might otherwise go unknown. In addition, epidata are clues to mis-and dis-information discernment. There are many ways to find needed information; however, finding the most useable information is not an easy task. The book explores the uses of proximity and the concept of epidata that increases the probability of finding functional information. The authors sketch a constellation of proximities, present examples of attempts to accomplish proximity, and provoke a discussion of the role of proximity in the field. In addition, the authors suggest that proximity is a thread between retrieval constructs based on known topics, predictable relations, and types of information seeking that lie outside constructs such as browsing, stumbling, encountering, detective work, art making, and translation.

System Dynamics with Interaction Discontinuity
Albert C. J. Luo, Dennis M. O'Connor
- Springer
- 8 Juillet 2015
- 9783319174228
This book describes system dynamics with discontinuity caused by system interactions and presents the theory of flow singularity and switchability at the boundary in discontinuous dynamical systems. Based on such a theory, the authors address dynamics and motion mechanism of engineering discontinuous systems due to interaction. Stability and bifurcations of fixed points in nonlinear discrete dynamical systems are presented, and mapping dynamics are developed for analytical predictions of periodic motions in engineering discontinuous dynamical systems. Ultimately, the book provides an alternative way to discuss the periodic and chaotic behaviors in discontinuous dynamical systems.
