Overview: In this new edition the author has added substantial material onBayesian analysis, including lengthy new sections on such important topics as empirical and hierarchical Bayes analysis, Bayesian calculation, Bayesian communication, and group decision making. With these changes, the book can be used as a self-contained introduction to Bayesian analysis. In addition, much of the decision-theoretic portion of the text was updated, including new sections covering such modern topics as minimax multivariate (Stein) estimation.978-1-4419-3074-3978-1-4757-4286-2Series ISSN 0172-7397 Series E-

Overview: The only book on social-ecological systems from Latin America.Discusses social-ecological systems, which are the basis of Latin America’s development.Presents a discussion on the complexities of sociaHuman societies are influencing nature in such a way that their independent analysis is no longer suitable. Fortunately, social-ecological systems provide a conceptual framework for the interconnected analysis of societies and ecosystems. However, in the case of Latin America, the complexity of social-ecological processes undermined a much-needed compilation of theoretical concepts, meth

Overview: Plant breeders continue to make significant advances in developing high yield­ ing, adaptable, disease-free crops. These advances, however, are not realized until an efficient seed production system is in place that rapidly increases geneti­ cally superior crops and makes them available to the consumer in large quantities at a reasonable cost. Successful seed production requires seed to be genetically pure, free of admixtures, and able to establish rapidly a uniform stand. Seed production is a complex process. Rigorous production criteria are followed by both seed producer and seed c

It covers the two movements that have recently had a dramatic influence on capitalism. First, wealthy millennials have been pressuring their bankers to invest their family por

Overview: This book is the very first empirical work about Indigenous people in their twenties in Australia.Brings important themes to light, including modern Christianity, schooling experiences, alcohol and ot.This volume is about the social identities of young Indigenous people in contemporary Australia, based on fieldwork in the rural community of Yarrabah, in Queensland. This case study of Yarrabah is based on seventeen ethnographic interviews with women and men in their twenties.  With the aim of exploring how diverse social discourses have influenced the social identities of young Indige

Overview: Strategie und Steuerung - eine Herausforderung für modernes RegierenDas Feld der empirischen Strategieforschung ist noch weitgehend unerschlossen. Mit diesem Band liegt erstmals eine systematisch vergleichende Analyse strategischer Regierungsprozesse europäischer Parteiregierungen vor. Untersucht wird das strategische Steuerungshandeln der Regierungen Blair (1997-2005) und Schröder (1998-2005). Die Ergebnisse verweisen auf zwei konträre Strategieprofile: eine strategisch unambitionierte und fragmentierte Regierungssteuerung unter Schröder steht einem ambitionierten, aber durch Tenden

Overview: Unlike Dong and Pei’s version of Sequence Data Mining, current books do not provide thorough coverage on this topic — other books either focus on general data mining, on sequence analysis, or are rest.Understanding sequence data, and the ability to utilize this hidden knowledge, creates a significant impact on many aspects of our society. Examples of sequence data include DNA, protein, customer purchase history, web surfing history, and more....Sequence Data Mining. provides balanced coverage of the existing results on sequence data mining, as well as pattern types and associated pat

Overview: Over the last ten years, it has become increasingly obvious that sudden death represents the major challenge confronting cardiology in the last part of the XXth Century. Careful epidemiologic studies have established the magnitude of this overall important problem of public health. The frequent association of sudden death with coronary artery disease has been demonstrated. Some of the electrophysiologic mechanisms underlying lethal arrhythmias have been unveiled. In addition, clinical markers permitting identifica­ tion of high risk individuals have emerged. Finally, different studie
