Definition of Research

by Paolo Maria Mariano (Author), Luciano Galano (Author)
Based on the authors’ many years of experience teaching courses on the mechanics of solids and what they found to work best for students
Takes a deductive rather than inductive approach and starts from a few first, foundational principles
Exercises organized in a way that will allow students to form a link between abstract mathematical concepts and real-world applications

This Brief provides an overview and history of the definition of serial homicide, from the perspectives of psychology, medicine, criminology and forensics.

This pathbreaking volume brings together a diverse body of sexual, behavioral, and social science research on bisexuality.

This brief studies the general problem of constructing digital chaotic systems in devices with finite precision from low-dimensional to high-dimensional settings, and establishes a general framework for composing them. The contributors demonstrate that the associated state networks of digital chaotic systems are strongly connected. They then further prove that digital chaotic systems satisfy Devaney’s definition of chaos on the domain of finite precision. The book presents Lyapunov exponents, as well as implementations to show the potential application of digital chaotic systems in the real world; the authors also discuss the basic advantages and practical benefits of this approach.

This book examines the position of 'contextual elements' as a constitutive element of the legal definition of the crime of genocide, and determines the extent to which an individual génocidaire is required to act within a particular genocidal context.
