Livro de contos que narra as aventuras de Ivan no pequeno Distrito de Baguari. O leitor vai se surpreendendo no processo de leitura, particularmente diante das espertezas de Ivan, que refletem a sabedoria característica das crianças do meio rural mineiro, mas que, na verdade, são espertezas observadas em muitas crianças mundo a fora.
A comprehensive review of an area of machine learning that deals with the use of unlabeled data in classification problems: state-of-the-art algorithms, a taxonomy of the field, applications, benchmark experiments, and directions for future research. In the field of machine learning, semi-supervised learning (SSL) occupies the middle ground, between supervised learning (in which all training examples are labeled) and unsupervised learning (in which no label data are given). Interest in SSL has increased in recent years, particularly because of application domains in which unlabeled data are plentiful, such as images, text, and bioinformatics. This first comprehensive overview of SSL presents...
"Figurações da infância e da velhice na literatura" reúne estudos teórico-críticos que objetivam examinar, a partir da análise de textos literários, diferentes representações sociais e sentidos históricos associados aos ciclos inicial e final da existência humana. No âmbito das literaturas de língua portuguesa, os artigos compilados visitam os projetos ético-estéticos de Henrique de Senna Fernandes, Luís Cardoso, Antonio Carlos Vianna e Mario Quintana. Nas literaturas de língua francesa e inglesa, apresentam-se reflexões dedicadas às obras de Jean-Jacques Rousseau, William Wordsworth, Toni Morrison e Frances Khirallah Noble. Tomando por foco tratamentos ora depreciativos, ora meritórios conferidos à infância e à velhice, o volume acaba por realçar o valor da literatura como índice do imaginário cultural de um tempo, das prioridades e aspirações escolhidas por uma coletividade e das fragilidades e inconsistências subjacentes àquelas escolhas.
Muitas têm sido as pesquisas filológicas desenvolvidas nos mais variados Estados e universidades brasileiras ao longo dos últimos anos. Com o objetivo de reunir e dar visibilidade aos trabalhos científicos produzidos sob a perspectiva da Filologia Textual e com as mais variadas fontes documentais produzidas em território brasileiro nos mais variados momentos da nossa história, convidamos os pesquisadores da Filologia a publicar os seus textos, frutos de suas pesquisas, neste volume, cujo objetivo é oferecer aos estudantes de graduação, de pós-graduação e aos pesquisadores da área da Filologia uma amostra da diversidade de estudos filológicos recentemente desenvolvidos no âmbito dos centros universitários brasileiros.
A comprehensive and self-contained introduction to Gaussian processes, which provide a principled, practical, probabilistic approach to learning in kernel machines. Gaussian processes (GPs) provide a principled, practical, probabilistic approach to learning in kernel machines. GPs have received increased attention in the machine-learning community over the past decade, and this book provides a long-needed systematic and unified treatment of theoretical and practical aspects of GPs in machine learning. The treatment is comprehensive and self-contained, targeted at researchers and students in machine learning and applied statistics. The book deals with the supervised-learning problem for both ...
The main aim of this book is to evaluate the concept of stress and provide tools for physicians to identify patients who might benefit from stress management. This will incorporate a detailed description of the physiological and pathophysiological consequences of acute and chronic stress that might lead to cardiovascular disease. The book will aim to critically evaluate interventional research (behavioural and other therapies) and provide evidence based recommendations on how to manage stress in the cardiovascular patient. Our intentions are to define and highlight stress as an etiological factor for cardiovascular disease, and to describe an evidence based "tool box" that physicians may use to identify and manage patients in whom stress may be an important contributing factor for their disease and their risk of suffering cardiovascular complications.
A critical look at the Chavez regime from a leftist Venezuelan perspective, this account debunks claims made by Venezuelan and U.S. rightists that the regime is antidemocratic and dictatorial. Instead, the book argues that the Chavez government is one of a long line of Latin American populist organizations that have been ultimately subservient to the United States as well as multinational corporations. Explaining how autonomous Venezuelan social, labor, and environmental movements have been systematically disempowered by the Chavez regime, this analysis contends that these movements are the basis of a truly democratic, revolutionary alternative.
