Overview: Online social networks have already become a bridge connecting our physical daily life with the (web-based) information space. This connection produces a huge volume of data, not only about the information itself, but also about user behavior. The ubiquity of the social Web and the wealth of social data offer us unprecedented opportunities for studying the interaction patterns among users so as to understand the dynamic mechanisms underlying different networks, something that was previously difficult to explore due to the lack of available data.In this book, we present the architectu

Overview: A mathematically precise definition of the intuitive notion of "algorithm" was implicit in Kurt Godel‘s [1931] paper on formally undecidable propo­ sitions of arithmetic. During the 1930s, in the work of such mathemati­ cians as Alonzo Church, Stephen Kleene, Barkley Rosser and Alfred Tarski, Godel‘s idea evolved into the concept of a recursive function. Church pro­ posed the thesis, generally accepted today, that an effective algorithm is the same thing as a procedure whose output is a recursive function of the input (suitably coded as an integer). With these concepts, it became pos

Overview: Encourages implementation of selective breeding programs for economically important fish and shellfish species around the worldAlthough aquaculture as a biological production system has a long history, systematic and efficient breeding programs to improve economically important traits in the farmed species have rarely been utilized until recently, except for salmonid species. This means that the majority of aquaculture production (more than 90 %) is based on genetically unimproved stocks. In farm animals the situation is vastly different: practically no terrestrial farm production is

Overview: The idea for this book stemmed from a remark by Philip Jennings of Murdoch University in a discussion session following a regular meeting of the Australian Surface Science group. He observed that a text on surface analysis and applica­ tions to materials suitable for final year undergraduate and postgraduate science students was not currently available. Furthermore, the members of the Australian Surface Science group had the research experience and range of coverage of sur­ face analytical techniques and applications to provide a text for this purpose. A of techniques and application

Overview: This volume has been created in honor of the seventieth birthday of Ted Harris, which was celebrated on January 11th, 1989. The papers rep­ resent the wide range of subfields of probability theory in which Ted has made profound and fundamental contributions. This breadth in Ted‘s research complicates the task of putting together in his honor a book with a unified theme. One common thread noted was the spatial, or geometric, aspect of the phenomena Ted investigated. This volume has been organized around that theme, with papers covering four major subject areas of Ted‘s research: branc

Overview: Makes an original theoretical contribution to International Relations Theory.Offers a thorough understanding of the society, institutional structure, foreign policy, and history of the UAE.ContributesSmall States theory supports the argument that small international actors have a vital role in the international system. After 9/11, it emerged as a more focused attempt to show that ‘small‘ can be ‘attractive and functional‘ in an era of normative political and religious radicalism. This book argues that Small States Theory is not relevant to the perplexities of the post-multipolar inte

Overview: Traces continuities and ruptures in a long-term history of the concept of space.Overviews theories of space, from Antiquity through the Middle Ages, onto the early 18th century.Reassesses the continui.This volume provides a much needed, historically accurate narrative of the development of theories of space up to the beginning of the eighteenth century. It studies conceptions of space that were implicitly or explicitly entailed by ancient, medieval and early modern representations of the cosmos. The authors reassess Alexandre Koyré’s groundbreaking work .From the Closed World to the

Overview: Includes chapters on a wide range of topics within higher education.Consolidates recent attention to student-centred learning under the unifying concept of agency.Gathers cutting-edge research finding.This edited volume argues for positioning students at the centre of higher education, drawing from the concepts of student agency and self-formation. The volume highlights that higher education has broader and more important purposes than what a neoliberal human capital approach would suggest, and explores how students exercise their agency and realise self-formation as inherently conne
