Equipoise
In this insightful biography, dance historian Dawn Lille traces the life of Alfredo Corvino from his roots as a quiet, athletic boy in Montevideo, Uruguay, through his international performing career with some of the greatest companies of the 20th century to his long and fruitful years as a beloved teacher and ballet master. By weaving together interviews with Corvino s colleagues, students, and family with archival material from the Juilliard School, the Metropolitan Opera Ballet as well as the Corvino family, Lille has created a touching portrait of this wise, fun-loving and enigmatic man. Setting Corvino s own story within the context of the social, political, and artistic events of his t...
Dimension Groups and Dynamical Systems
This is the first self-contained exposition of the connections between symbolic dynamical systems, dimension groups and Bratteli diagrams.
Old Women and Art in the Early Modern Italian Domestic Interior
Though portraits of old women mediate cultural preoccupations just as effectively as those of younger women, the scant published research on images of older women belies their significance within early modern Italy. This study examines the remarkable flowering, largely overlooked in portraiture scholarship to date, of portraits of old women in Northern Italy and especially Bologna during the second half of the sixteenth century, when, as a result of religious reform, the lives of women and the family came under increasing scrutiny. Old Women and Art in the Early Modern Italian Domestic Interior draws on a wide range of primary visual sources, including portraits, religious images, architectu...
Computer Science – Theory and Applications
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 14th International Computer Science Symposium in Russia, CSR 2019, held in Novosibirsk, Russia, in July 2019. The 31 full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 71 submissions. The papers cover a wide range of topics such as algorithms and data structures; computational complexity; randomness in computing; approximation algorithms; combinatorial optimization; constraint satisfaction; computational geometry; formal languages and automata; codes and cryptography; combinatorics in computer science; applications of logic to computer science; proof complexity; fundamentals of machine learning; and theoretical aspects of big data.
Profinite Semigroups and Symbolic Dynamics
This book describes the relation between profinite semigroups and symbolic dynamics. Profinite semigroups are topological semigroups which are compact and residually finite. In particular, free profinite semigroups can be seen as the completion of free semigroups with respect to the profinite metric. In this metric, two words are close if one needs a morphism on a large finite monoid to distinguish them. The main focus is on a natural correspondence between minimal shift spaces (closed shift-invariant sets of two-sided infinite words) and maximal J-classes (certain subsets of free profinite semigroups). This correspondence sheds light on many aspects of both profinite semigroups and symbolic dynamics. For example, the return words to a given word in a shift space can be related to the generators of the group of the corresponding J-class. The book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in mathematics or theoretical computer science.
Women in the History of Linguistics
This volume offers a ground-breaking investigation into women's contribution to the description, analysis, and codification of languages across a wide range of linguistic and cultural traditions. The chapters explore a variety of spheres of activity, from the production of dictionaries and grammars to language teaching methods and language policy.
The Council of Trent: Reform and Controversy in Europe and Beyond (1545-1700)
Exactly 450 years after the solemn closure of the Council of Trent on 4 December 1563, scholars from diverse regional, disciplinary and confessional backgrounds convened in Leuven to reflect upon the impact of this Council, not only in Europe but also beyond. Their conclusions are to be found in these three impressive volumes. Bridging different generations of scholarship, the authors reassess in a first volume Tridentine views on the Bible, theology and liturgy, as well as their reception by Protestants, deconstructing many myths surviving in scholarship and society alike. They also deal with the mechanisms 'Rome' developed to hold a grip on the Council's implementation. The second volume analyzes the changes in local ecclesiastical life, initiated by bishops, orders and congregations, and the political strife and confessionalisation accompanying this reform process. The third and final volume examines the afterlife of Trent in arts and music, as well as in the global impact of Trent through missions.
Developments in Language Theory
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Developments in Language Theory, DLT 2015, held in Liverpool, UK. The 31 papers presented together with 5 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 54 submissions. Its scope is very general and includes, among others, the following topics and areas: combinatorial and algebraic properties of words and languages, grammars, acceptors and transducers for strings, trees, graphs, arrays, algebraic theories for automata and languages, codes, efficient text algorithms, symbolic dynamics, decision problems, relationships to complexity theory and logic, picture description and analysis, polyominoes and bidimensional patterns, cryptography, concurrency, cellular automata, bio-inspired computing, and quantum computing.
Implementation and Application of Automata
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Implementation and Application of Automata, CIAA 2015, held in held in Umeå, Sweden, in August 2015. The 22 revised full papers presented together with 4 invited papers and 2 toool demonstration papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 49 submissions. The papers cover all aspects of cover automata, counter automata, decision algorithms on automata, descriptional complexity, expressive power of automata, homing sequences, jumping finite automata, multi-dimensional languages, parsing and pattern matching, quantum automata, realtime pushdown automata, random generation of automata, regular expressions, security issues, sensors in automata, transducers, transformation of automata, and weighted automata.
