Modal verbs in English communicate delicate shades of meaning, there being a large range of verbs both on the necessity side (must, have to, should, ought to, need, need to) and the possibility side (can, may, could, might, be able to). They therefore constitute excellent test ground to apply and compare different methodologies that can lay bare the factors that drive the speaker's choice of modal verb. This book is not merely concerned with a purely grammatical description of the use of modal verbs, but aims at advancing our understanding of lexical and grammatical units in general and of linguistic methodologies to explore these. It thus involves a genuine effort to compare, assess and combine a variety of approaches. It complements the leading descriptive qualitative work on modal verbs by testing a diverse range of quantitative methods, while not ignoring qualitative issues pertaining to the semantics-pragmatics interface. Starting from a critical assessment of what constitutes the meaning of modal verbs, different types of empirical studies (usage-based, data-driven and experimental), drawing considerably on the same data sets, shows how method triangulation can contribute to an enhanced understanding. Due attention is also given to individual variation as well as the degree to which modals can predict L2 proficiency level.

Free Download Modelling in Natural Sciences: Design, Validation and Case Studies by Tibor Müller , Harmund Müller
English | PDF | 2003 | 469 Pages | ISBN : 3540001530 | 43.5 MB
This book defines the wide application of the art of modelling. The main emphasis is on the imaging of dynamic processes which are analysed and subdivided into their atomic constituents by means of systems analysis. The cyclic structure and the stages of models set-up are explained. The evaluation of a models quality is regarded as a stochastic process. The aspects of grade used in different fields of sciences are brought into perspective. Thus, a quantitative concept of validity on the basis of conditional degrees of rational belief can be developed.

English | September 30, 2022 | ISBN: 1668436108 | 251 pages | EPUB | 18 Mb
In the event of a disastrous event leading to the loss of communication networks, ad-hoc networks are a potent wireless communication resource because of their unique features including being quickly deployable and having a distributed nature, large coverage area, reduced cost, and more. Flying ad-hoc networks (FANETS) and vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETS) are the future technology and can solve many problems in e-commerce delivery through drones, agriculture, vaccine delivery, and more. The unique characteristics of these networks and special requirements have created new challenges for the research community in recent decades. Modelling and Simulation of Fast-Moving Ad-Hoc Networks (FANETs and VANETs) enhances the modelling and simulation aspects of FANETS and VANETS and understands the protocols in mac layer and network layers for fast-moving ad-hoc networks. It presents simulations run using various simulation tools and measures the performance metrics of ad-hoc networks. Covering topics such as emulation tools, secure communication, and modelling software, this premier reference source is an excellent resource for computer scientists, IT specialists, business leaders and managers, supply chain and logistics management, libraries, students, government officials, international organizations, law enforcement, engineers, agriculturalists, researchers, and academicians.

Free Download Modeling with Itô Stochastic Differential Equations by E. Allen
English | PDF | 2007 | 238 Pages | ISBN : 1402059523 | 1.6 MB
Dynamical systems with random influences occur throughout the physical, biological, and social sciences. By carefully studying a randomly varying system over a small time interval, a discrete stochastic process model can be constructed. Next, letting the time interval shrink to zero, an Ito stochastic differential equation model for the dynamical system is obtained.

Free Download Model Tests and Numerical Simulations of Liquefaction and Lateral Spreading II: LEAP-ASIA-2019 by Tetsuo Tobita, Koji Ichii, Kyohei Ueda
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | Pages | ISBN : 3031488202 | 203.2 MB
This book presents work collected through the Liquefaction Experiments and Analysis Projects (LEAP) in 2019 (LEAP-ASIA-2019) following the LEAP-UCD-2017 whose results have been published as a first volume. In addition to the research targets set in the previous one, such as the repeatability, variability, and sensitivity of lateral spreading on mildly sloping liquefiable sand, this volume includes research efforts to validate the generalized scaling law (hereafter "GSL") for the identical prototype with the one employed in UCD-2017. In LEAP-ASIA-2019, 10 institutes around the world conducted 23 tests in total. It was the first multi-institutional attempts to investigate the validity of the generalized scaling law for the saturated sandy sloping deposit with wide range of initial conditions. The experimental data provided a unique basis for assessing the capabilities of six different simulation platforms for numerical simulation of soil liquefaction. The results of the experiments and the numerical simulations are presented and discussed in papers submitted by the project participants.

Model Predictive Control System Design and Implementation Using MATLAB® proposes methods for design and implementation of MPC systems using basis functions that confer the following advantages: - continuous- and discrete-time MPC problems solved in similar design frameworks; - a parsimonious parametric representation of the control trajectory gives rise to computationally efficient algorithms and better on-line performance; and - a more general discrete-time representation of MPC design that becomes identical to the traditional approach for an appropriate choice of parameters.
