Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

This book gathers the proceedings of the I-ESA'20 Conference, which
was organised by the National Engineering School of Tarbes (ENIT),
on behalf of the European Virtual Laboratory, for Enterprise
Interoperability (INTEROP-VLab) and the Pole Grand Sud-Ouest (PGSO)
and was held virtually in Tarbes, France, in November 2020. It
presents contributions ranging from academic research and case
studies to industrial and administrative experiences with
interoperability. These contributions show how, in a globalised
market scenario-where the ability to cooperate with other
organisations efficiently is essential in order to remain
economically, socially and environmentally cost-effective-the most
innovative digitised and networked enterprises ensure that their
systems and applications can interoperate across heterogeneous
collaborative networks of independent organisations. The focus of
this edition of the conference is on interoperability in the era of
artificial intelligence and so particular attention is paid to
Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things. The content also addresses
smart services and the business impact of enterprise
interoperability on organisations. Many of the papers in this tenth
volume of the I-ESA Conference proceedings include examples and
illustrations to help deepen readers' understanding and generate
new ideas. Offering a detailed guide to the state of the art in
systems interoperability, the book will be of great value to all
engineers and computer scientists working in manufacturing and
other process industries, and to software engineers and electronic
and manufacturing engineers working in academic settings.
Gendered Pathologies examines nineteenth-century literary
representations of the pathologized female body in relation to
biomedical discourses about gender and society in Victorian
England. According to medical and scientific views of the period,
the woman who did not conform to the dictates of gender ideology
was, biologically speaking, aberrant: a deviation from the norm.
Yet, although marginalized in a social sense, the "deviant" woman
was central as a literary and cultural trope. Analyzing novels by
Charles Dickens, H. Rider Haggard, and Thomas Hardy alongside
Foucault's notion of perverse sexualities and Herbert Spencer's
model of the social organism, Archimedes argues that the
pathologized female body displaces or resolves, on a narrative
level, larger cultural anxieties about the health of the British as
a species. While earlier feminist investigations asserted that
bourgeois ideology helped to construct scientific discourses about
female sexuality and social behavior, this study takes these
assertions as a starting point . Examining incest, racial
stereotyping, and neurasthenia, Gendered Pathologies attempts to
shed light on the ways in which biological thinking permeated
British culture in the second half of the nineteenth century.

Interoperability of enterprises is one of the main requirements for
economical and industrial collaborative networks. Enterprise
interoperability (EI) is based on the three domains: architectures
and platforms, ontologies and enterprise modeling. This book
presents the EI vision of the Grand Sud-Ouest pole (PGSO) of the
European International Virtual Laboratory for Enterprise
Interoperability (INTEROP-VLab). It includes the limitations,
concerns and approaches of EI, as well as a proposed framework
which aims to define and delimit the concept of an EI domain. The
authors present the basic concepts and principles of decisional
interoperability as well as concept and techniques for
interoperability measurement. The use of these previous concepts in
a healthcare ecosystem and in an extended administration is also
presented.
Archimedes of Syracuse, revered as antiquity's great geometer,
produced a vast collection of works in geometry, arithmetic, and
mechanics which has proved to be a source of timeless fascination
for modern mathematicians, physicists, science historians and
logicians. Although credited with the invention of practical
devices like the water-screw, catapults and grappling devices,
compound pulley systems, and a model for explaining solar eclipses,
Archimedes viewed these mechanical innovations merely as
"diversions of geometry at play." In this complete works, including
his renowned "Method," Archimedes addresses such topics as: the
ratio of the areas of a cylinder and an inscribed sphere, the
measurement of a circle, the properties of conoids, spheroids, and
spirals, and the quadrature of the parabola. His ingenious work on
spheres, cylinders and floating objects have gained Archimedes the
recognition, along with Euclid and Apollonius, as one of the three
great mathematicians of the ancient world. This volume reproduces
the classic translation of Thomas Heath.
The complete works of antiquity's great geometer appear here in a
highly accessible English translation by a distinguished scholar.
Remarkable for his range of thought and his mastery of treatment,
Archimedes addressed such topics as the famous problems of the
ratio of the areas of a cylinder and an inscribed sphere; the
measurement of a circle; the properties of conoids, spheroids, and
spirals; and the quadrature of the parabola. This edition offers an
informative introduction with many valuable insights into the
ancient mathematician's life and thought as well as the views of
his contemporaries. Modern mathematicians, physicists, science
historians, and logicians will find this volume a source of
timeless fascination. Unabridged, with supplement.
