This volume brings together scholars from around the world to
consider how mobile communication is both bringing us together and
destroying our sense of social cohesion. There is no question that
uses of technology can lead to increased cohesion within personal
communities. However, as social networks become inundated with
mobile communication users, the contributors argue, they may become
isolated and social division can take hold. Mobile Communication
covers a wide range of topics, including the replacement of
co-present interaction with mediated contact; analysis of
mobile-based cohesion and gender; the role of media choice and its
effect on the quality as well as quantity of social cohesion;
mobile communication and communities of interest; and mobile
communication, cohesion, and youth. Qualitative and quantitative
analyses of mobile use and its impact on social cohesion are also
considered. There are chapters on caravan couples in Australia,
factory workers in China, young couples in Germany, citizens in
Slovenia, and sports clubs in Ireland. There is also research on
drunken calls between university students in the U.S., calls among
international students in Switzerland who strive to keep in
contact, and communications by immigrant women in Melbourne,
Australia.
A First Course in Differential Equations, Modeling, and Simulation
shows how differential equations arise from applying basic physical
principles and experimental observations to engineering systems.
Avoiding overly theoretical explanations, the textbook also
discusses classical and Laplace transform methods for obtaining the
analytical solution of differential equations. In addition, the
authors explain how to solve sets of differential equations where
analytical solutions cannot easily be obtained. Incorporating
valuable suggestions from mathematicians and mathematics
professors, the Second Edition: Expands the chapter on classical
solutions of ordinary linear differential equations to include
additional methods Increases coverage of response of first- and
second-order systems to a full, stand-alone chapter to emphasize
its importance Includes new examples of applications related to
chemical reactions, environmental engineering, biomedical
engineering, and biotechnology Contains new exercises that can be
used as projects and answers to many of the end-of-chapter problems
Features new end-of-chapter problems and updates throughout Thus, A
First Course in Differential Equations, Modeling, and Simulation,
Second Edition provides students with a practical understanding of
how to apply differential equations in modern engineering and
science.
