This Land Management book integrates our current understanding of environmental processes with relevant social ecoomic and other subjects to provide an integratedapproach to land use. This approach is then applied throughout the book at relevant scales including field, city, catchment, national and global. This book allows specialisation in ecological conservation,ecotechnology for cities, land reclamation and restoration, natural resource management and soil management.
This book intends to be an alert to the fact that the curve measuring environmental costs against the economic benefits of capitalism has irreversibly entered into a negative phase. The prospect of an environmental collapse has been evidenced by the sciences and the humanities since the 1960s. Today, it imposes its urgency. This collapse differs from past civilizations in that it is neither local nor just civilizational. It is global and occurs at the broadest level of the biosphere, accelerated by the convergence of different socio-environmental crises, such as: Earth energy imbalance, climate change and global warming Sea-level rise Decrease and degradation of forests Collapse of terrestri...
"A perspectiva de um colapso ambiental vem sendo evidenciada pelas ciências e pelas humanidades desde os anos 1960. Hoje, ela impõe sua urgência. Achim Steiner, subsecretário-geral da ONU, adverte incessantemente: “se nada for feito, o colapso dos serviços prestados pelos ecossistemas é uma clara possibilidade”. Esse colapso difere dos das civilizações passadas por não ser nem local, nem apenas civilizacional. Ele é global e ocorre no nível mais amplo da biosfera, da qual as sociedades humanas dependem existencialmente. Evitar a falência das estruturas de sustentação dos ecossistemas, voltar a “caber” na biosfera, só será possível se desmontarmos a engrenagem socioeconômica expansiva que moldou nossas sociedades desde o século XVI. A sociedade futura será pós-capitalista ou não será uma sociedade complexa, e mesmo talvez, deve-se temer, sociedade alguma. Alargar esse consenso nascente foi o que motivou este livro."
This open access book provides an overview of the recent advances in representation learning theory, algorithms and applications for natural language processing (NLP). It is divided into three parts. Part I presents the representation learning techniques for multiple language entries, including words, phrases, sentences and documents. Part II then introduces the representation techniques for those objects that are closely related to NLP, including entity-based world knowledge, sememe-based linguistic knowledge, networks, and cross-modal entries. Lastly, Part III provides open resource tools for representation learning techniques, and discusses the remaining challenges and future research directions. The theories and algorithms of representation learning presented can also benefit other related domains such as machine learning, social network analysis, semantic Web, information retrieval, data mining and computational biology. This book is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, researchers, lecturers, and industrial engineers, as well as anyone interested in representation learning and natural language processing.
"Akashvani" (English) is a programme journal of ALL INDIA RADIO, it was formerly known as The Indian Listener. It used to serve the listener as a bradshaw of broadcasting ,and give listener the useful information in an interesting manner about programmes, who writes them, take part in them and produce them along with photographs of performing artists. It also contains the information of major changes in the policy and service of the organisation. The Indian Listener (fortnightly programme journal of AIR in English) published by The Indian State Broadcasting Service, Bombay, started on 22 December, 1935 and was the successor to the Indian Radio Times in English, which was published beginning ...
Learn how to build machine translation systems with deep learning from the ground up, from basic concepts to cutting-edge research.
The majority of natural language processing (NLP) is English language processing, and while there is good language technology support for (standard varieties of) English, support for Albanian, Burmese, or Cebuano--and most other languages--remains limited. Being able to bridge this digital divide is important for scientific and democratic reasons but also represents an enormous growth potential. A key challenge for this to happen is learning to align basic meaning-bearing units of different languages. In this book, the authors survey and discuss recent and historical work on supervised and unsupervised learning of such alignments. Specifically, the book focuses on so-called cross-lingual wor...
