Drawing upon oral and documentary evidence, this volume explores the lives of noteworthy Mi’kmaw individuals whose thoughts, actions, and aspirations…
impacted the history of the Northeast but whose activities were too often relegated to the shadows of history. The book highlights Mi’kmaw leaders who played major roles in guiding the history of the region between 1680 and 1980. It sheds light on their community and emigration policies, organizational and negotiating skills, diplomatic endeavours, and stewardship of land and resources. Contributors to the volume range from seasoned scholars with years of research in the field to Mi’kmaw students whose interest in their history will prove inspirational. Offering important new insights, the book re-centres Indigenous nationhood to alter the way we understand the field itself. The book also provides a lengthy index so that information may be retrieved and used in future research. Muiwlanej kikamaqki – Honouring Our Ancestors will engage the interest of Indigenous and non-Indigenous readers alike, engender pride in Mi’kmaw leadership legacies, and encourage Mi’kmaw youth and others to probe more deeply into the history of the Northeast.Frontiers of Supercomputing II: A National Reassessment (Los Alamos Series in Basic and Applied Sciences #13)

Par MengChu Zhou, JunQi Zhang. 2024
Comprehensive guide on learning automata, introducing two variants to accelerate convergence and computational update speed Learning Automata and Their Applications…
to Intelligent Systems provides a comprehensive guide on learning automata from the perspective of principles, algorithms, improvement directions, and applications. The text introduces two variants to accelerate the convergence speed and computational update speed, respectively; these two examples demonstrate how to design new learning automata for a specific field from the aspect of algorithm design to give full play to the advantage of learning automata. As noisy optimization problems exist widely in various intelligent systems, this book elaborates on how to employ learning automata to solve noisy optimization problems from the perspective of algorithm design and application. The existing and most representative applications of learning automata include classification, clustering, game, knapsack, network, optimization, ranking, and scheduling. They are well-discussed. Future research directions to promote an intelligent system are suggested. Written by two highly qualified academics with significant experience in the field, Learning Automata and Their Applications to Intelligent Systems covers such topics as: Mathematical analysis of the behavior of learning automata, along with suitable learning algorithms Two application-oriented learning automata: one to discover and track spatiotemporal event patterns, and the other to solve stochastic searching on a line Demonstrations of two pioneering variants of Optimal Computing Budge Allocation (OCBA) methods and how to combine learning automata with ordinal optimization How to achieve significantly faster convergence and higher accuracy than classical pursuit schemes via lower computational complexity of updating the state probabilityA timely text in a rapidly developing field, Learning Automata and Their Applications to Intelligent Systems is an essential resource for researchers in machine learning, engineering, operation, and management. The book is also highly suitable for graduate level courses on machine learning, soft computing, reinforcement learning and stochastic optimization.The Good Habit Workbook: A Practical Toolkit to Help You Change Your Life One Good Habit at a Time

Par David Carter. 2011
As explicit in his prose as he was in his private life, the Marquis de Sade remains one of the…
most controversial writers of all time. This new biography, by the acclaimed translator and author David Carter, promises to shock as much as it informs. Arrested many times for sexual misdemeanors, the Marquis de Sade was imprisoned in the Bastille, where he was writing 120 Days of Sodom and The Misfortunes of Virtue at the time that it was stormed in 1789. After the French Revolution he was again imprisoned and sent to an asylum, where he wrote diaries and plays. This concise biography offers a fresh look at a relentlessly compelling figure with a fascinating life of scandal and imprisonment.Brief Lives: Wilkie Collins (Brief Lives)
Par Melisa Klimaszewski. 2009
Author of the first detective novel in English, Wilkie Collins was one of the most popular authors in Victorian England.…
In this illuminating biography, Melisa Klimaszewski situates the writer within his own milieu and demonstrates how his work sparks new understandings of Victorian life and letters. A close friend and collaborator of Charles Dickens, Collins secured his own fame with sensational novels that feature intricate legal plots, mistaken identities, and complex crimes. Boldly challenging the mores of Victorian society by maintaining two families and shunning the institution of marriage, Collins was also one of the most unconventional public figures of his day. His life story, succinctly told in this elegant biography, promises to instruct and to entertain.Agile Datenkompetenz: Reporting-Prozesse mit und ohne Excel gestalten
Par Andrea Weichand. 2023
In diesem Buch hinterfragt Andrea Weichand die bestehenden Reporting-Routinen. Die manuelle Arbeit im bekannten Tabellenkalkulationsprogramm Excel hat sich nicht nur…
etabliert, sie nimmt auch weiterhin zu. Dies ist ein großes Problem für die Innovations- und Zukunftsfähigkeit so mancher Controlling-, Sales-, oder Marketingabteilungen. Wie datenkompetent ist ein Unternehmen, wenn ein Großteil der Datenarbeit in Excel zurechtgeschustert wird? Wie schafft man es im Berufsalltag, Daten effizient und mit hoher Qualität in passende Datenprodukte zu bringen? Welche Rolle spielt die Pivot-Tabelle? Weichand beschreibt einen neuen Weg zu mehr Datenkompetenz und erklärt, warum die Prinzipien Kreativität, Strategie und Agilität so wertvoll dabei sind. Ihr Ziel ist es, all die Angestellten, die sich Tag für Tag mit ihren anstrengenden und monströsen Excel-Dateien quälen, zu ermutigen,die Datenprozesse (mit und ohne Excel) zu automatisieren,die eigene Datenkompetenz weiterzuentwickeln undeine kreative, zukunftsfähige Perspektive für agile Datenarbeit einzunehmen.Tú, contigo y por ti: Espabila y cáete bien

Par Jörg Polzehl, Karsten Tabelow. 2023
This book discusses modelling and analysis of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data of the human brain. For the data processing…
pipelines we rely on R, the software environment for statistical computing and graphics. The book is intended for readers from two communities: Statisticians, who are interested in neuroimaging and look for an introduction to the acquired data and typical scientific problems in the field and neuroimaging students, who want to learn about the statistical modeling and analysis of MRI data. Being a practical introduction, the book focuses on those problems in data analysis for which implementations within R are available. By providing full worked-out examples the book thus serves as a tutorial for MRI analysis with R, from which the reader can derive its own data processing scripts.The book starts with a short introduction into MRI. The next chapter considers the process of reading and writing common neuroimaging data formats to and from the R session. The main chapters then cover four common MR imaging modalities and their data modeling and analysis problems: functional MRI, diffusion MRI, Multi-Parameter Mapping and Inversion Recovery MRI. The book concludes with extended Appendices on details of the utilize non-parametric statistics and on resources for R and MRI data.The book also addresses the issues of reproducibility and topics like data organization and description, open data and open science. It completely relies on a dynamic report generation with knitr: The books R-code and intermediate results are available for reproducibility of the examples.Advances in Neural Computation, Machine Learning, and Cognitive Research VII: Selected Papers from the XXV International Conference on Neuroinformatics, October 23-27, 2023, Moscow, Russia (Studies in Computational Intelligence #1120)
