Overview: An interdisciplinary approach to landscape archaeology will be interest to archaeologists (especially cultural heritage managers), historians, ethnographers, environmentalists and ecologists.Includes LUDOMIR R. LOZNY Hunter College This book has a long history. In December 1998 I organized a two-day international symposium at Hunter College, New York to discuss issues related to research and preservation of cultural landscapes. The symposium was sponsored by a grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation, and co-sponsored by the North Atlantic Biocultural Organization and the Department of

Overview: Offers a comprehensive introduction to latent factor analysis on high-dimensional and sparse data.Presents an effective hyper-parameter adaptation method for latent factor analysis models.Outlines an Latent factor analysis models are an effective type of machine learning model for addressing high-dimensional and sparse matrices, which are encountered in many big-data-related industrial applications. The performance of a latent factor analysis model relies heavily on appropriate hyper-parameters. However, most hyper-parameters are data-dependent, and using grid-search to tune these hy

Overview: Study in social sciences.Includes supplementary material: In this book, Barbora Moormann-Kimáková analyses the possibility of finding an optimal language regime in multinational and multiethnic countries – either by defining the contents of an optimal language regime, or with the help of a criterion enabling to evaluate whether a language regime is optimal or not. The process of the selection or change of a language regimeoften becomes a matter of a language-related conflict. These conflicts are mostly accompanied by other political or social conflicts, as for example in Ukraine or f

Overview: .Limnological Analyses., a classic, second, thoroughly updated edition, consists of a series of carefully designed and tested field and laboratory exercises covering the full scope of limnology. It provides the student with a solid foundation in this complex multidisciplinary field of ecology and illustrates modern experimental approaches. Among the topics covered by such exercises are: major physical components of lakes and streams; important mineral nutrients; cycling of organic matter; benthic fauna; primary productivity of phytoplankton; quantitative methods in biota analysis; di

Overview: Contains new color images of optical phenomena and artwork.Includes updated experiments useful for university teachers.Presents new material on advances in LEDs, laser and nanotechnologies, digital ph.What is the nature of light? How does an artist’s selection and use of colorants determine how we experience a work of art? What can visual illusions tell us about the nature of perception? In what ways do the laws of optics manifest themselves in the visual arts? .In this fully revised edition of the classic textbook, Rossing and Chiaverina present the science of light – that is, the s

Overview: Liquid biopsy is a new and exciting diagnostic field in breast cancer.Novel technologies allows for a real-time, minimally invasive, longitudinal assessment of molecular characteristics of the disease.This volume, with chapters written by experts in the field of cancerous tumors, details the key factors associated with liquid biopsies in solid tumors: blood-based diagnostics; circulating tumor cells; enumeration and molecular analysis (association with breast cancer); epithelialmesenchymal transition; detection and monitoring; circulating-free tumor DNA; CTCs and ctDNA; and the exoso

Overview: The local justification of beliefs and hypotheses has recently become a major concern for epistemologists and philosophers of induction. As such, the problem of local justification is not entirely new. Most pragmatists had addressed themselves to it, and so did, to some extent, many classical inductivists in the Bacon-Whewell-Mill tradition. In the last few decades, however, the use of logic and semantics, probability calculus, statistical methods, and decision-theoretic concepts in the reconstruction of in­ ductive inference has revealed some important technical respects in which in

Overview: Ein Handlungskonzept zur Förderung von Lernkompetenzen im HochschulkontextGesellschaftliche, ökonomische und technologische Veränderungen erfordern die Entwicklung von Lernkompetenzen als Voraussetzung für ein lebenslanges selbstorganisiertes Lernen. Vor diesem Hintergrund geht Sabine Hoidn der Frage nach, wie Lernkompetenzen als pädagogisch-didaktische Zieldimension theoretisch und empirisch fundiert und im Hochschulkontext praktisch gefördert werden können. Sie entwickelt ein Lernmodell zur Förderung von Lernkompetenzen, das den Prozess des selbstorganisierten Lernens von Studieren

Overview: .Peu de domaines médico-chirurgicaux ont connu une évolution aussi importante que celui des neurosciences depuis 15 ans. Au foisonnement des axes de recherche dans le domaine des neurosciences fondamentales durant les années 1990-2000, proclamées « decade of the brain », s’est ajouté en clinique humaine le développement des nouvelles techniques d’imagerie. Ceci a permis d‘enterrer enfin certaines idées anciennes et de développer de nouvelles stratégies thérapeutiques fondées sur une meilleure compréhension des mécanismes physiopathologiques de l’agression cérébrale en transposant les

Overview: Discusses high-level synthesis fundamentals..Presents a very comprehensive treatment on all aspects of power dissipation..Includes information on power reduction fundamentals, specifically peak power ..Low-Power High-Level Synthesis for Nanoscale CMOS Circuits. addresses the need for analysis, characterization, estimation, and optimization of the various forms of power dissipation in the presence of process variations of nano-CMOS technologies.  The authors show very large-scale integration (VLSI) researchers and engineers how to minimize the different types of power consumption of d

Overview: This book has two purposes. The first is clearly historical, the second is more philosophical and interpretive. Its success in the former will be less arguable than its attainment of the latter. The contribution to the history of Spanish letters consists in critically establishing the fact that the sources of Fray Luis de Le6n‘s moral and spiritual thought are Hebraic and that he can be seen to stand as one in a long line of Christian Hebraists, both scholastic and humanist. His philosophical views are cast in an Hebraic tradition, not in an Hellenic one as supposed by nearly every o

Overview: In the last decade there has been a steadily growing need for and interest in computational methods for solving stochastic optimization problems with or wihout constraints. Optimization techniques have been gaining greater acceptance in many industrial applications, and learning systems have made a significant impact on engineering problems in many areas, including modelling, control, optimization, pattern recognition, signal processing and diagnosis. Learning automata have an advantage over other methods in being applicable across a wide range of functions. Featuring new and efficie
