Universal Design Principles for Architecting Modular Software Systems

This practical guide in Eviews is aimed at practitioners and students in business, economics, econometrics, and finance. It uses a step-by-step approach to equip readers with a toolkit that enables them to make the most of this widely used econometric analysis software. Statistical and econometrics concepts are explained visually with examples, problems, and solutions.Developed by economists, the Eviews statistical software package is used most commonly for time-series oriented econometric analysis. It allows users to quickly develop statistical relations from data and then use those relations to forecast future values of the data. The package provides convenient ways to enter or upload data series, create new series from existing ones, display and print series, carry out statistical analyses of relationships among series, and manipulate results and output. This highly hands-on resource includes more than 200 illustrative graphs and tables and tutorials throughout. Abdulkader Alja

This book explores the possibility of building the resilience of the UNESCO cultural landscapes, both using theoretical conceptions and practical strategies and actions. Two case studies have been selected, one in Italy and one in China, which have then been explored for the first time in such a comparative way. Different notions of landscape, as well as the driving force of changes affecting these landscapes, are examined and compared.Moreover, the perceptions of the local communities regarding these landscapes are examined, using online questionnaires with over 400 participants. This research highlights the need for an integrated management system, building stronger rural communities able to manage change and continuity. Five pillars to build the resilience of these landscapes have been provided, with schemes and figures, requiring a people-centered approach in their management.This book demonstrates strong connections between identity and landscape resilience, especially in inlandar

This book is the proceedings of the 8th International Workshop on Autonomous Remanufacturing (IWAR 2024) and contains contributions from innovators in autonomous remanufacturing to strengthen the body of knowledge on design, modelling and control of remanufacturing processes and systems. Remanufacturing has been identified as having significant financial and environment benefits; however, critical challenges still remain in designing and operating remanufacturing processes and systems. These challenges are complex, spanning all product life cycles and encompassing multiple disciplines within and outside of engineering. In particular, the book showcases the work of experts on reverse logistics optimization, designing products for disassembly, and advancements in remanufacturing automation. These topics are currently at the forefront of discussions among leading industries and researchers.
