Technologie des installations frigorifiques – Rapin, Pierre (1923-2000)

Two decades after the Brundtland Commission's Report "Our Common Future" adopted the concept of 'sustainable development', this book provides a renewal of the concept exploring the potential for new practices and fields for those involved in sustainability activity. The book addresses a number of themes concerning firstly, the provision of a "next generation perspective", which was a central, and still unresolved, notion of the original Brundtland definition and, secondly the provision of new milestones for policy and research that can expand the discussion on this second generation concept on sustainability. The material dealt with in the book offers a wide variety of perspectives on sustainability and reflects the importance of interdisciplinary and transdiciplinary work in the field. Suggesting targets for future analytical and political efforts in achieving global sustainability, this book offers new analytical opportunities for holistic politics and research at a general and sector level.

THE NEW YORK TIMES, USA TODAY, AND WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER"Kai-Fu Lee believes China will be the next tech-innovation superpower and in AI Superpowers: China, Silicon Valley, and the New World Order, he explains why. Taiwan-born Lee is perfectly positioned for the task."—New York MagazineIn this thought-provoking book, Lee argues powerfully that because of the unprecedented developments in AI, dramatic changes will be happening much sooner than many of us expected. Indeed, as the US-Sino AI competition begins to heat up, Lee urges the US and China to both accept and to embrace the great responsibilities that come with significant technological power.Most experts already say that AI will have a devastating impact on blue-collar jobs. But Lee predicts that Chinese and American AI will have a strong impact on white-collar jobs as well. Is universal basic income the solution? In Lee’s opinion, probably not. But he provides a clear description of which jobs will be affected and how soon, which jobs can be enhanced with AI, and most importantly, how we can provide solutions to some of the most profound changes in the future of human history.

Le risque qu’une opération d’aménagement contribue à l’exclusion et àla discrimination n’est pas une fatalitéL’acte d’aménager doit contribuer à faire société. Tel est le postulatde ce livre.Preuves à l’appui, à travers une diversité d’expériences relatées, detémoignages conviés, il démontre que les enjeux d’inclusion sontpartout : dans le logement, dans la production de l’espace public,dans l’occupation des rez-de-chaussée d’immeubles, dans la manière defaire vivre les équipements.Non, le risque qu’une opération d’aménagement contribue à l’exclusionet à la discrimination n’est pas une fatalité !Deux figures sont convoquées, en paroles et en images : l’aménageur, àqui est enjoint de se débarrasser de sa posture technicienne pouractionner toutes les marges de manœuvre en sa possession et derechercher une « ingénierie de l’intelligence » : et l’habitant –certains habitants en situation de précarité, dont les parcoursapparaissent comme un encouragement à entrer dans les enjeux del’inclusion. Aménageurs et habitants sont ici incarnés.Ce livre à multiples voix est un acte d’engagement – un manifeste –pour que la ville produite soit plus solidaire et plus respectueuse detous : pour que la fabrique urbaine soit affaire de tactique et detemps autant que de spatialité.Et si les aménageurs faisaient « pousser la ville » avec la mêmeattention bienveillante qu’on fait pousser les arbres !Les plus de l'ouvrage :- Cet ouvrage met en avant des projets qui interpellent sur l’enjeu dela ville incluante- Il fait suite aux réflexions collectives engagées depuis 2010 par leClub ville-aménagement- De nombreux praticiens et théoriciens ont participé à laconstruction de ce livrePour qui ? :Cet ouvrage s’adresse aux architectes, urbanistes, collectivités,aménageurs et aux promoteursSOMMAIRE:Préambule « l'autre est dans la ville »Introduction.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND QUANTUM COMPUTING FOR ADVANCED WIRELESS NETWORKSA comprehensive presentation of the implementation of artificial intelligence and quantum computing technology in large-scale communication networksIncreasingly dense and flexible wireless networks require the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for planning network deployment, optimization, and dynamic control. Machine learning algorithms are now often used to predict traffic and network state in order to reserve resources for smooth communication with high reliability and low latency.In Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Computing for Advanced Wireless Networks, the authors deliver a practical and timely review of AI-based learning algorithms, with several case studies in both Python and R. The book discusses the game-theory-based learning algorithms used in decision making, along with various specific applications in wireless networks, like channel, network state, and traffic prediction. Additional chapters include Fundamentals of ML, Artificial Neural Networks (NN), Explainable and Graph NN, Learning Equilibria and Games, AI Algorithms in Networks, Fundamentals of Quantum Communications, Quantum Channel, Information Theory and Error Correction, Quantum Optimization Theory, and Quantum Internet, to name a few.The authors offer readers an intuitive and accessible path from basic topics on machine learning through advanced concepts and techniques in quantum networks. Readers will benefit from: A thorough introduction to the fundamentals of machine learning algorithms, including linear and logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, bagging, boosting, and support vector machines An exploration of artificial neural networks, including multilayer neural networks, training and backpropagation, FIR architecture spatial-temporal representations, quantum ML, quantum information theory, fundamentals of quantum internet, and more Discussions of explainable neural networks and XAI Examinations of graph neural networks, including learning algorithms and linear and nonlinear GNNs in both classical and quantum computing technologyPerfect for network engineers, researchers, and graduate and masters students in computer science and electrical engineering, Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Computing for Advanced Wireless Networks is also an indispensable resource for IT support staff, along with policymakers and regulators who work in technology.
