Retrospections
Richard Philips Letsinger worked in England, France and Germany as a member of Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Forces (SHAEF) for the last two years of World War II. The majority of his time was spent as an assistant to Brigadier General Archibald Clough in the Map and Survey Section of G-3 Operations. The section was responsible for mapping the plans to invade continental Europe (OVERLORD). As such, Letsinger earned the security classification, BIGOT. This classification was between TOP SECRET and EYES ONLY. He regularly observed General Eisenhower, Field Marshal Tedder, Field Marshall Montgomery, General Smith and many other leaders during the planning of D-Day. These memoirs contain Letsinger's wartime experiences culled from a vivid memory and the journals he maintained throughout his enlistment. In addition, he retained all correspondence from friends and family and has reproduced many of the letters here, giving a balanced picture of what was happening in his life, both home and away.
Genetic Programming Theory and Practice X
These contributions, written by the foremost international researchers and practitioners of Genetic Programming (GP), explore the synergy between theoretical and empirical results on real-world problems, producing a comprehensive view of the state of the art in GP. Topics in this volume include: evolutionary constraints, relaxation of selection mechanisms, diversity preservation strategies, flexing fitness evaluation, evolution in dynamic environments, multi-objective and multi-modal selection, foundations of evolvability, evolvable and adaptive evolutionary operators, foundation of injecting expert knowledge in evolutionary search, analysis of problem difficulty and required GP algorithm co...
Networking 2004
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third IFIP-TC6 Networking Conference, NETWORKING 2004, held in Athens, Greece, in May 2004. The 103 revised full papers and 40 revised short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 539 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on network security; TCP performance; ad-hoc networks; wavelength management; multicast; wireless network performance; inter-domain routing; packet classification and scheduling; services and monitoring; admission control; competition in networks; 3G/4G wireless systems; MPLS and related technologies; flow and congestion control; performance of IEEE 802.11; optical networks; TCP and congestion; key management; authentication and DOS prevention; energy aspects of wireless networks; optical network access; routing in ad-hoc networks; fault detection, restoration, and tolerance; QoS metrics, algorithms, and architecture; content distribution, caching, and replication; and routing theory and path computation.
When It's Over
When It's Over is a collection of 21, life-grabbing short stories that stay in the memory long after the reading. The stories are about extremes, what people do to get through. Ordinary people in extraordinary situations, like Grace, the loner, Billy Currie, the eel flinger, Amos and Thoms, old coots who tackle an iceberg, Jimmy Buttons, an innocent caught in the slime of politics, Yanic, a wilderness nomad eulogized by Quebec's separatists, Charlie, the jogger who dares challenge Biblical prophecy, Bernie, who hides from a dark past in the bowels of Macy's, and the old Indian sachem who stalks with the grizzlies. When It's Over focuses on someone on the edge, someone different with unusual powers or gifts in a sympathetic way that makes for freshness and added interest.
Small Cell Networks
This comprehensive resource explores state-of-the-art advances in the successful deployment and operation of small cell networks. A broad range of technical challenges, and possible solutions, are addressed, including practical deployment considerations and interference management techniques, all set within the context of the most recent cutting-edge advances. Key aspects covered include 3GPP standardisation, applications of stochastic geometry, PHY techniques, MIMO techniques, handover and radio resource management, including techniques designed to make the best possible use of the available spectrum. Detailed technical information is provided throughout, with a consistent emphasis on real-world applications. Bringing together world-renowned experts from industry and academia, this is an indispensable volume for researchers, engineers and systems designers in the wireless communication industry.
Empathy and Mental Health
Empathy and Mental Health shows mental health professionals how to employ a deeper understanding of subjective, objective, and interpersonal modalities of empathy in their practice. Chapters are full of case studies and examples that demonstrate empathy’s role in challenging and complex encounters, and as each concept and process is introduced, Dr. Clark discusses strategies for responding empathically. The book has a sound theoretical grounding that is informed by extensive material on empathy and empathic understanding from the counseling and psychotherapy literature and related fields of inquiry. Drawing from psychodynamic, existential-humanistic, cognitive behavioral, and other contemporary orientations, this text makes empathy immediately useful and understandable to students and practitioners.
Parallel Problem Solving from Nature - PPSN XII
The two volume set LNCS 7491 and 7492 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Parallel Problem Solving from Nature, PPSN 2012, held in Taormina, Sicily, Italy, in September 2012. The total of 105 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 226 submissions. The meeting began with 6 workshops which offered an ideal opportunity to explore specific topics in evolutionary computation, bio-inspired computing and metaheuristics. PPSN 2012 also included 8 tutorials. The papers are organized in topical sections on evolutionary computation; machine learning, classifier systems, image processing; experimental analysis, encoding, EDA, GP; multiobjective optimization; swarm intelligence, collective behavior, coevolution and robotics; memetic algorithms, hybridized techniques, meta and hyperheuristics; and applications.
