Rural Sustainability : A Complex Systems Approach to Policy Analysis
This volume applies the science of complexity to study coupled human-environment systems (CHES) and integrates ideas from the social sciences of climate change into a study of rural development amid flooding and urbanization in the Poyang Lake Region (PLR) of China.Author Qing Tian operationalizes the concept of sustainability and provides useful scientific analyses for sustainable development in less developed rural areas that are vulnerable to climatic hazards. The book uses a new sustainability framework that is centered on the concept of well-being to study rural development in PLR.The PLR study includes three major analyses: (1) a regional assessment of human well-being; (2) an empirical analysis of rural livelihoods; and (3) an agent-based computer model used to explore future rural development.These analyses provide a meaningful view of human development in the Poyang Lake Region and illustrate some of the complex local- and macro-level processes that shape the livelihoods of rural households in the dynamic process of urbanization.They generate useful insights about how government policy might effectively improve the well-being of rural households and promote sustainable development amid social, economic, and environmental changes. This case study has broader implications. Rural populations in the developing world are disproportionally affected by extreme climate events and climate change.Furthermore, the livelihoods of rural households in the developing world are increasingly under the influences of macro-level forces amid urbanization and globalization.This case study demonstrates that rural development policies must consider broader development dynamics at the national (and even global) level, as well as specific local social and environmental contexts.By treating climate as one of many factors that affect development in such places, we can provide policy recommendations that synergistically promotedevelopment and reduce climatic impacts and therefore facilitate mainstreaming climate adaptation into development.

The Innovation Complex : Cities, Tech, and the New Economy
You hear a lot these days about "innovation and entrepreneurship" and about how "good jobs" in tech will save our cities.Yet these common tropes hide a stunning reality: local lives and fortunes are tied to global capital.You see this clearly in metropolises such as San Francisco and New York that have emerged as "superstar cities." In these cities, startups bloom, jobs of the future multiply, and a meritocracy trained in digital technology, backed by investors who control deep pools of capital, forms a new class: the tech-financial elite.In The Innovation Complex, the eminent urbanist Sharon Zukin shows the way these forces shape the new urban economy through a rich and illuminating account of the rise of the tech sector in New York City.Drawing from original interviews with venture capitalists, tech evangelists, and economic development officials, she shows how the ecosystem forms and reshapes the city from the ground up. Zukin explores the people and plans that have literally rooted digital technology in the city.That in turn has shaped a workforce, molded a mindset, and generated an archipelago of tech spaces, which in combination have produced a now-hegemonic "innovation" culture and geography.She begins with the subculture of hackathons and meetups, introduces startup founders and venture capitalists, and explores the transformation of the Brooklyn waterfront from industrial wasteland to "innovation coastline." She shows how, far beyond Silicon Valley, cities like New York are shaped by an influential "triple helix" of business, government, and university leaders--an alliance that joins C.Wright Mills's "power elite," real estate developers, and ambitious avatars of "academic capitalism." As a result, cities around the world are caught between the demands of the tech economy and communities' desires for growth--a massive and often--insurmountable challenge for those who hope to reap the rewards of innovation's success.

What are complex numbers and how are they used in technology?
Complex numbers are numbers that consist of a real part and an imaginary part, usually written in the form a + bi, where 'a' is the real part and 'bi' is the imaginary part. In technology, complex numbers are used in various applications such as signal processing, control systems, and electrical engineering. They are particularly useful in analyzing and solving problems involving alternating current (AC) circuits, digital signal processing, and in designing filters and control systems. The ability of complex numbers to represent both magnitude and phase information makes them a powerful tool in modeling and analyzing systems with both real and imaginary components.

What is the Oedipus complex and the father complex?
The Oedipus complex is a concept in psychoanalytic theory proposed by Sigmund Freud. It refers to a child's unconscious desire for their opposite-sex parent, along with feelings of jealousy and rivalry towards their same-sex parent. The Oedipus complex is said to occur during the phallic stage of psychosexual development, typically between the ages of 3 and 6. The father complex, on the other hand, is a term used to describe a child's feelings and attitudes towards their father. It can encompass a range of emotions, including admiration, fear, and competition. The father complex is also a concept within psychoanalytic theory, and it is seen as a counterpart to the Oedipus complex. Both of these concepts are central to Freud's ideas about the development of personality and the formation of relationships.

What is the complex conjugate of a complex number?
The complex conjugate of a complex number is obtained by changing the sign of the imaginary part of the number. For a complex number of the form a + bi, where a is the real part and b is the imaginary part, the complex conjugate is a - bi. In other words, the complex conjugate of a complex number is the reflection of the number across the real axis in the complex plane. The complex conjugate is denoted by adding a bar over the number, for example, the complex conjugate of z is denoted as z̅.
-
What are complex numbers and what does complex conjugate mean?
Complex numbers are numbers that can be expressed in the form a + bi, where a and b are real numbers and i is the imaginary unit (√-1). The complex conjugate of a complex number a + bi is denoted as a - bi, where the sign of the imaginary part is flipped. Geometrically, the complex conjugate reflects the original complex number across the real axis on the complex plane. The product of a complex number and its complex conjugate is always a real number.

AI, Automation, and War : The Rise of a Military-Tech Complex
Why AI will not replace human strategic judgement in warIs AI about to automate war?Will autonomous drone swarms and killer robots controlled by AI dominate the battlespace and determine the winner?In AI, Automation, and War, Anthony King debunks this science fiction–tinged narrative of AI’s military potential, exploring instead the actual applications of AI by the armed forces over the last decade.He finds that AI is not going to replace human commanders and combatants; the machines are not about to take over.Rather, the military has used, and will continue to use, AI to process data at a scale and speed that exceeds the capacity of humans.AI will be used primarily to improve military understanding and intelligence. King explains that military commanders, enabled by the data processing power of AI, will be able to see the battlespace at a previously unattainable depth, fidelity, and speed.AI will help the armed forces plan, target, and conduct cyber operations faster and more effectively.In order to harness AI in this way, however, a radical organisational transformation is taking place.The armed forces are integrating civilian technologists into operational headquarters to work alongside military staff.This partnership between the armed forces and the technology sector signals the emergence of a military-tech complex that promises to be as powerful in this century as the military-industrial complex was in the last.

Developing Capacity for Innovation in Complex Systems : Strategy, Organisation and Leadership
Based on a theoretical analysis and supported by both explorative qualitative and quantitative research, this book examines the many reasons why an initiative becomes an innovation and why some organizations are better at innovation than others. Developing Capacity for Innovation in Complex Systems offers insights into the history of the idea of innovation, as well as knowledge around different discourses on innovation.The purpose of this book is to help organisations further their aspirations and work with innovation.It is based on three premises: (1) that capacity can be developed, (2) that it is worthwhile trying to do so, and (3) there are however no guarantees for success.Providing a comprehensive view of innovation and discussing the theoretical challenges, the book contributes towards a holistic theory for capacity building for innovation.The book conveys frameworks, methodologies, and tools that are used in terms of innovation, and it explains positive strategies for innovation that are being developed.Complexity theory is presented and attributed to the construct of innovation to further the understanding of the intricacies and fallacies of innovation work. This book will be of direct interest to scholars and subject matter experts in the field of innovation management.Business leaders and reflective practitioners will find the content relevant and accessible.

What is a pi complex and what is a sigma complex?
A pi complex is a type of coordination complex in which the metal ion is coordinated to a ligand through pi bonds. This type of complex typically involves the interaction of a metal ion with a ligand that contains a pi-bonding system, such as an aromatic ring or an alkene group. On the other hand, a sigma complex is a type of coordination complex in which the metal ion is coordinated to a ligand through sigma bonds. This type of complex typically involves the direct interaction of a metal ion with a ligand through the overlap of atomic orbitals, resulting in the formation of a sigma bond. Both pi and sigma complexes are important in the field of coordination chemistry and play a crucial role in the reactivity and stability of coordination compounds.

What are complex insults?
Complex insults are insults that are more elaborate and sophisticated than simple name-calling or derogatory remarks. They often involve a combination of clever language, sarcasm, and wit to deliver a cutting and impactful insult. Complex insults can be used to convey a deeper level of disdain or criticism, and are often employed in more formal or intellectual settings.

What are complex numbers?
Complex numbers are numbers that consist of a real part and an imaginary part, usually written in the form a + bi, where 'a' is the real part, 'b' is the imaginary part, and 'i' is the imaginary unit (√-1). These numbers are used in mathematics to solve equations that have no real solutions, such as the square root of a negative number. Complex numbers can be added, subtracted, multiplied, and divided, just like real numbers. They are an essential part of many branches of mathematics and physics.
-
Is 1z complex differentiable?
No, 1z is not complex differentiable. In order for a function to be complex differentiable at a point, it must satisfy the Cauchy-Riemann equations, which require the function to be holomorphic. Since 1z is not holomorphic (as it does not satisfy the Cauchy-Riemann equations), it is not complex differentiable.
