Overview: Reports recent research results on evolutionary computation in practice.Includes supplementary material: .Darwinian evolutionary theory is one of the most important theories in human history for it has equipped us with a valuable tool to understand the amazing world around us. There can be little surprise, therefore, that Evolutionary Computation (EC), inspired by natural evolution, has been so successful in providing high quality solutions in a large number of domains. EC includes a number of techniques, such as Genetic Algorithms, Genetic Programming, Evolution Strategy and Evoluti

Overview: A unifying perspective on physics based on symmetry considerations.An insightful reading on fundamental physics.Written by the author of the book “Constrained Dynamics” which became a reference in theOver the course of the last century it has become clear that both elementary particle physics and relativity theories are based on the notion of symmetries. These symmetries become manifest in that the "laws of nature" are invariant under spacetime transformations and/or gauge transformations. The consequences of these symmetries were analyzed as early as in 1918 by Emmy Noether on the l

Overview: Old and New Fields of Old-Field Ecology In ecology, succession occupies a place similar to that of evolution in general biology. Ram6n Margalef, 1968. It was a great honor for me to have been asked by Marinus Werger to write an introductory note to this very special volume. Presumably my friends and former students in Europe felt that a few words from the New World might put the results presented in this exciting book into a somewhat broader perspective. My perspective (or retrospective), however, is neither impersonal nor original; it is an eclectic reflection of recent developments

Overview: Written by a leading specialist in contrastive studies of Spanish and Portuguese.Introduces an ideal and fast way to teach and learn Spanish for speakers of Portuguese and vice-versa.Includes innovatiThis book contrasts variations in Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese pronunciation, using as a reference for discussion the mainstream careful speech of news anchors at the national level or the equivalent type of speech: a well-educated style that nonetheless sounds natural. Pursuing an innovative approach, the book uses this view of language as a cornerstone to describe and discuss other

Overview: The two volumes set LNCS 10913-10914 of SCSM 2018 constitutes the proceedings of the 10th International Conference onSocial Computing and Social Media, SCSM 2018, held as part of the International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction, HCII 2018, heldin Las Vegas, NV, USA, in July 2018. The total of 1171 papers and 160 posters presented at the 14 colocated HCII 2018 conferences. .The papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 4346 submissions. These papers which are organized inthe following topical sections: socialmedia user experience, individual and social behavior in Soc

Overview: First comprehensive study on national, international and supranational case law related to same-sex couples.Written by both researchers and practitioners in the relevant fields.Useful reference book f.The present volume focuses on the jurisprudence of national, supranational and international jurisdictions (and quasi-juridictions) as regards the legal .status. of same-sex couples. Its aim is to explore the content, rationale, functioning and potential of the different jurisdictions’ reasonings and their contribution to the strengthening of LGBTI rights (and duties). As a consequence,

Overview: Interdisciplinary view of molecular evolution.Clear tutorial contributions by leading scientists.Includes supplementary material: .Structural requirements constrain the evolution of biological entities at all levels, from macromolecules to their networks, right up to populations of biological organisms. Classical models of molecular evolution, however, are focused at the level of the symbols - the biological sequence - rather than that of their resulting structure. Now recent advances in understanding the thermodynamics of macromolecules, the topological properties of gene networks,

Overview: An up-to-date review of the recent work on salt and drought stress signaling.More than 50 illustrations summarizing the mechanisms of signaling.Written by experts from around the globe.This book presents various aspects of salt and drought stress signaling in crops, combining physiological, biochemical, and molecular studies. Salt and drought stress are two major constraints on crop production worldwide. Plants possess several mechanisms to cope with the adverse effects of salt and drought. Among these mechanisms, stress signaling is very important, because it integrates and regulate

The book lays the context for the discussion by introducing a system model for IoT. Since IoT is very varied and has been introduced in many different contexts, the system model introduced plays a crucial role in integrating the concepts into a coherent framework. Afte

Overview: Jens HETLAND & Teimuraz GOCHITASHVILI In contrast to oil, natural gas is usually routed through pipeline systems stretched from the wellhead to the end-user – although liquefied natural gas (LNG) is gaining increased interest; the commercialisation of natural gas fields is inherently linked to rigid transportation systems that require huge investments in tangible assets fixed to specific locations; the supply of natural gas is constrained by the transportation system, and requires access to appropriate infrastructure for transport and distribution; the trading of natural gas is tradi
