Pierre Allan, Christian Schmidt
R3,186 Discovery Miles 31 860 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

What is the origin of game preferences and payoffs, how are they aggregated and what are the implications of interdependent preferences? What is the importance of information for building game models? How can game models be used to analyse empirical cases? At the cutting edge of current modelling in international relations using non-cooperative game theory, this collection of original contributions from political scientists and economists explores some of the fundamental assumptions of game theory modelling. It includes a theory of game payoff formation, a theory of preference aggregation, thorough discussions of the effects of interdependence between preferences upon various game structures, in-depth analyses of the impact of incomplete information upon dynamic games of negotiation, and a study using differential games. Numerous illustrations, case studies and comparative case studies show the relevance of the theoretical debate. The chapters are organised to allow readers with a limited knowledge of game theory to develop their understanding of the fundamental issues. Containing theoretical discussion of the basic game theory assumptions - as well as means of going beyond them - Game Theory and International Relations will be welcomed by all those interested in the empirical application of game theory models in international relations.

Signal Processing Techniques for Power Efficient Wireless Communication Systems - Practical Approaches for RF Impairments... Signal Processing Techniques for Power Efficient Wireless Communication Systems - Practical Approaches for RF Impairments Reduction (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2020)
Fernando Gregorio, Gustavo Gonzalez, Christian Schmidt, Juan Cousseau
R3,295 Discovery Miles 32 950 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book presents a synthesis of the research carried out in the Laboratory of Signal Processing and Communications (LaPSyC), CONICET, Universidad Nacional del Sur, Argentina, since 2003. It presents models and techniques widely used by the signal processing community, focusing on low-complexity methodologies that are scalable to different applications. It also highlights measures of the performance and impact of each compensation technique. The book is divided into three parts: 1) basic models 2) compensation techniques and 3) applications in advanced technologies. The first part addresses basic architectures of transceivers, their component blocks and modulation techniques. It also describes the performance to be taken into account, regardless of the distortions that need to be compensated. In the second part, several schemes of compensation and/or reduction of imperfections are explored, including linearization of power amplifiers, compensation of the characteristics of analog-to- digital converters and CFO compensation for OFDM modulation. The third and last part demonstrates the use of some of these techniques in modern wireless-communication systems, such as full-duplex transmission, massive MIMO schemes and Internet of Things applications.

Charting Transnational Fields - Methodology for a Political Sociology of Knowledge (Paperback): Christian Schmidt-Wellenburg,... Charting Transnational Fields - Methodology for a Political Sociology of Knowledge (Paperback)
Christian Schmidt-Wellenburg, Stefan Bernhard
R1,249 Discovery Miles 12 490 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The volume provides a field-analytical methodology for researching knowledge-based sociopolitical processes of transnationalization. Drawing on seminal work by Pierre Bourdieu, we apply concepts of practice, habitus, and field to phenomena such as cross-national social trajectories, international procedures of evaluation, standardization, and certification, or supranational political structures. These transnational phenomena form part of general political struggles that legitimate social relationships in and beyond the nation-state. Part 1 on methodological foundations discusses the consequences of Bourdieu's epistemology and methodology for theorizing and investigating transnational phenomena. The contributions show the importance of field-theoretical concepts for post-national insights. Part 2 on investigating political fields presents exemplary case studies in diverse research areas such as colonial imperialism, international academic rankings, European policy fields, and local school policy. While focusing on their research objects, the contributions also give an insight into the mechanisms involved in processes of transnationalization. The volume is an invitation for sociologists, political scientists, and scholars in adjacent research areas to engage with reflexive and relational research practice and to further develop field-theoretical thought.

Interleaving Concepts for Digital-to-Analog Converters - Algorithms, Models, Simulations and Experiments (Paperback, 1st ed.... Interleaving Concepts for Digital-to-Analog Converters - Algorithms, Models, Simulations and Experiments (Paperback, 1st ed. 2020)
Christian Schmidt
R3,268 Discovery Miles 32 680 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Modern complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) digital-to-analog converters (DACs) are limited in their bandwidth due to technological constraints. These limitations can be overcome by parallel DAC architectures, which are called interleaving concepts. Christian Schmidt analyzes the limitations and the potential of two innovative DAC interleaving concepts to provide the basis for a practical implementation: the analog multiplexing DAC (AMUX-DAC) and the frequency interleaving DAC (FI-DAC). He presents analytical and discrete-time models as a theoretical foundation and develops digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms to compensate the analog impairments. Further, he quantifies the impact of various limiting parameters with numerical simulations and verifies both concepts in laboratory experiments. About the Author: Christian Schmidt works at the Fraunhofer Heinrich-Hertz-Institute, Berlin, Germany, on innovative solutions for broadband signal generation in the field of optical communications. The studies for his dissertation were carried out at the Technische Universitat Berlin and at the Fraunhofer Heinrich-Hertz-Institute, both Berlin, Germany.

Game culture and material culture have always been closely linked. Analog forms of rule-based play (ludus) would hardly be conceivable without dice, cards, and game boards. In the act of free play (paidia), children as well as adults transform simple objects into multifaceted toys in an almost magical way. Even digital play is suffused with material culture: Games are not only mediated by technical interfaces, which we access via hardware and tangible peripherals. They are also subject to material hybridization, paratextual framing, and processes of de-, and re-materialization.

Gaming no longer only takes place as a "closed interactive experience" in front of TV screens, but also as broadcast on streaming platforms or as cultural events in exhibition centers and e-sport arenas. The popularization of new technologies, forms of expression, and online services has had a considerable influence on the academic and journalistic discourse about games. This anthology examines which paratexts gaming cultures have produced - i.e., in which forms and formats and through which channels we talk (and write) about games - as well as the way in which paratexts influence the development of games. How is knowledge about games generated and shaped today and how do boundaries between (popular) criticism, journalism, and scholarship have started to blur? In short: How does the paratext change the text?

Playing Utopia - Futures in Digital Games (Paperback): Benjamin Beil, Gundolf S. Freyermuth, Hanns Christian Schmidt Playing Utopia - Futures in Digital Games (Paperback)

R1,127 Discovery Miles 11 270 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Media narratives inform our ideas of the future - and Games are currently making a significant contribution to this medial reservoir. On the one hand, Games demonstrate a particular propensity for fantastic and futuristic scenarios. On the other hand, they often serve as an experimental field for the latest media technologies. However, while dystopias are part of the standard gaming repertoire, Games feature utopias much less frequently. Why? This anthology examines playful utopias from two perspectives. It investigates utopias in digital Games as well as utopias of the digital game; that is, the role of ludic elements in scenarios of the future.

Christian Schmidt-Rost vergleicht die Jazzszenen in der DDR und Polen und beschaftigt sich mit den transatlantischen Transferprozessen, in die sie eingebunden waren. Sein Buch gibt einen Einblick in den vielfaltigen Umgang mit der amerikanischen Musik Jazz im Kalten Krieg. Dabei werden die Handlungsspielraume von Herrschenden und Jazzern - Musikern, Organisatoren, Journalisten, Fans - in den beiden staatssozialistischen Gesellschaften untersucht und deren Wandel seit den 1950er Jahren nachvollzogen. Der Autor macht deutlich, wie es den Jazzern gelang, uber Medien, Verbande und Festivals blockubergreifende Kommunikationsraume zu etablieren, wahrend die Musik zugleich fur immer mehr Akteure zu einem Geschaft wurde. Seine Studie zeigt, wie Jazz im Kalten Krieg ebenso polarisierte wie verband.
