Data-Intensive Workflow Management - Esther Pacitti - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

Data-Intensive Workflow Management - Esther Pacitti - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

Workflows may be defined as abstractions used to model the coherent flow of activities in the context of an in silico scientific experiment. They are employed in many domains of science such as bioinformatics, astronomy, and engineering. Such workflows usually present a considerable number of activities and activations (i.e., tasks associated with activities) and may need a long time for execution. Due to the continuous need to store and process data efficiently (making them data-intensive workflows), high-performance computing environments allied to parallelization techniques are used to run these workflows. At the beginning of the 2010s, cloud technologies emerged as a promising environment to run scientific workflows. By using clouds, scientists have expanded beyond single parallel computers to hundreds or even thousands of virtual machines. More recently, Data-Intensive Scalable Computing (DISC) frameworks (e.g., Apache Spark and Hadoop) and environments emerged and are being used to execute data-intensive workflows. DISC environments are composed of processors and disks in large-commodity computing clusters connected using high-speed communications switches and networks. The main advantage of DISC frameworks is that they support and grant efficient in-memory data management for large-scale applications, such as data-intensive workflows. However, the execution of workflows in cloud and DISC environments raise many challenges such as scheduling workflow activities and activations, managing produced data, collecting provenance data, etc. Several existing approaches deal with the challenges mentioned earlier. This way, there is a real need for understanding how to manage these workflows and various big data platforms that have been developed and introduced. As such, this book can help researchers understand how linking workflow management with Data-Intensive Scalable Computing can help in understanding and analyzing scientific big data. In this book, we aim to identify and distill the body of work on workflow management in clouds and DISC environments. We start by discussing the basic principles of data-intensive scientific workflows. Next, we present two workflows that are executed in a single site and multi-site clouds taking advantage of provenance. Afterward, we go towards workflow management in DISC environments, and we present, in detail, solutions that enable the optimized execution of the workflow using frameworks such as Apache Spark and its extensions.

Time and Poetic Speech: A Philosophical Investigation - Kwok Kui Wong - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

This book analyzes the relation between the flow time and poetic speech in drama and rhetoric. It begins with the classical understanding of time as flux, and its problems and paradoxes entailing from Aristotle, Augustine, Kant and Husserl. The reader will see how these problems unfold and find resolutions through dramatic speech and rhetoric which has an essential relation to the flow of time. It covers elements in poetic speech such as affect, rhythm, metaphor, and syntax. It uses examples from classical rhetorical theories by Aristotle, Cicero, Quintilian, dramatic speeches from Shakespeare, as well as other modern dramatic texts by Chekhov, Beckett, Jelinek and Sarah Kane. This book appeals to students and academic researchers working in the philosophical fields of aesthetics and phenomenology as well those working in theater and the performing arts.

Agogic Maps - Raffaele Pe - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

Agogic Maps - Raffaele Pe - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

This book explores the value of the musical concept of "agogics" - the modification of regular rhythm to enhance expressive potential - in understanding urban spatial configurations within the current technological context and in developing urban maps that exploit sonic signals to create an open learning framework. The book starts by discussing the meaning and significance of agogics in the musical and artistic realm, with reference to the work of Adolphe Appia, Emile-Jaques Dalcroze, and Iannis Xenakis, among others. Its relevance to cartography and mapping is then examined, taking into account the contributions of Ian McHarg, Bill Hillier, Mark Shepard, and Robin Minard. The nature and value of agogic maps, for example in fostering awareness of place and effective organization of spatial development, are described in detail, with reference to case studies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and Segrate, Italy. It is explained how agogic maps take advantage of innovative categories and scripting equipment to provide a new mapping instrument for spatial and urban configurations, highlighting the interdependence between aural signals and spatial variables. This book will be of interest to architects, urbanists, and musicians with a specific interest in space and sound design.

Music Therapy and Music-Based Interventions in Neurology - - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

Music Therapy and Music-Based Interventions in Neurology - - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

This book synthesizes knowledge about the myriad ways music can support the physical and psychosocial needs of people living with neurological diagnoses. It may be a useful tool for those working or training as music therapists, as well as clinicians and patients interested in the use of music and rhythm to address individualized healthcare goals. The editors of this book advocate for a collaborative, holistic approach to the implementation of music-based interventions, acknowledging that different (and at times, conflicting) approaches do exist – and that different patients may require exploration of different approaches to have their needs and desires met in ways most meaningful to them. The book’s many contributors embody this desire to hold space for wide-ranging views on clinical practice through the ways they share their own perspectives as music therapists, neurologists, nurses, speech and language pathologists, and neuroscience researchers from across the globe. Each chapter is centered around clinical work in context with a specific patient community – be that a diagnosis (e.g., movement disorders), shared culture (e.g., autistic culture), disease stage (e.g., end of life), or targeted clinical need (e.g., psychosocial support and/or functional performance) – and features a summary of available research with case examples and clinical descriptions to highlight different conceptualizations of the role of music in the care of patients with neurologic diagnoses.

Normative Intermittency - Gregor Fitzi - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

Normative Intermittency - Gregor Fitzi - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

This book addresses the manifold crisis of current societies and understands it as a failure of normative social structuration. As an exemplar for this development, it analyses the decline of welfare state models and the corresponding societal compromise. Yet, it evaluates them as a symptom of a wider malaise of normative orders in complex societies. The question thus arises as to how social science can study the ongoing societal transformation. The book frames the phenomenon as ''normative intermittency'' to capture its fluid alternation of social structuration and destructuration and develops its analysis in three steps: first, it draws a theoretically reflected symptomatic of its occurrences; it then establishes the sociological diagnosis necessary to understand its unfolding and finally evaluates its political outcomes. Methodologically, the book advocates a complete overhaul of the analytical frames of sociology to gauge the intermittent rhythm of the ongoing societal transformation. Thus, it develops an innovative reading of classical sociological theory beyond a number of unreflected axiomatic assumptions of the current sociological mainstream. Thanks to the assessment of the political outcomes of failing social structuration the book turns to a discussion of the development of possible emancipation paths in the form of ''transformative social action''; reflexively, this accounts for the results of the sociological diagnosis of the crisis of normative social orders. The main analyses within the book scrutinise a number of empirical phenomena that establish normative intermittency in current societies and refer to the major debates that are taking place on the related topics in the state of art of sociological and political theory.

Low Back Pain and Sciatica - Luigi Tesio - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

Low Back Pain and Sciatica - Luigi Tesio - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

Chronic benign “back pain “, with or without sciatica, is a descriptive diagnosis hiding the mechanisms leading to this symptom. The literature still refers to it as a “non-specific” disease. Not surprisingly, both conservative and invasive treatments are inconsistent and highly subjective. The book aims to highlight the main pathogenetic mechanisms leading to pain based on a thorough analysis of the lumbar spine anatomy and mechanics (including its vascular content) and a selection of published evidence converging towards an original integrated model. The result is a downgrading of back pain from a “non-specific” disease to a symptom and clarifying the underlying causes. The book presents an original pathogenetic model named CoVIn (Compressive-Venous-Inflammatory). The cornerstones of the model are a) the compression of nerve endings within the narrow spinal canal from disc herniation or arthritic spurs, b) local inflammation caused by discal material and/or local phlebitis and -most importantly- c) venous congestion of the Batson (epidural) plexus. The model explains the diversity of the clinical pictures: e.g., pain at rest vs. pain during spinal loading; pain unrelated to the severity of MRI or CT imaging; changes of pain (spontaneous or caused by treatments) with no changes in imaging, and others. Consistent with the model, a few physiotherapy treatments are proposed to widen the spinal canal and decongest local veins. These are “flexor” lumbar exercises, water exercises, and—first choice—Active Lumbar Traction (former “Autotraction”). Treatments targeting pain become a second-choice approach. Surgery is shown to be rational only after conservative treatments fail. Other rare causes of back pain, unrelated to the CoVin model, are overviewed and discussed. The book will interest Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Physicians, Physiotherapists, Orthopedic and Trauma Surgeons, Neurosurgeons, Rheumatologists, Neurologists, and Family physicians.
