"El Diccionario General del Zulia es por mucho el libro de Historia del Zulia más importante publicado, después de la Historia de Juan Besson. Su contribución al genero biográfico es única en Venezuela y su aporte bibliohemerográfico de la zulianidad no tiene parangón, sino en los trabajos de Germán Cardozo Galué y Patricia Pineda. En este libro está resumida y presentada de forma práctica toda la historia del Zulia y se proyecta en ella a los próceres civiles de nuestro futuro. Es un acervo bibliográfico que marca un antes y un después en la investigación historiográfica, periodística y artística de todo el Occidente del país.

Las relaciones que se establecieron entre las comunidades indígenas de la Guajira (Colombia y Venezuela) con las sociedades y autoridades de las provincias de Riohacha y Maracaibo, en el período 1750-1850, respondieron a intereses que cada una tuvo en determinadas circunstancias.

This is an overview of the end-to-end data cleaning process. Data quality is one of the most important problems in data management, since dirty data often leads to inaccurate data analytics results and incorrect business decisions. Poor data across businesses and the U.S. government are reported to cost trillions of dollars a year. Multiple surveys show that dirty data is the most common barrier faced by data scientists. Not surprisingly, developing effective and efficient data cleaning solutions is challenging and is rife with deep theoretical and engineering problems. This book is about data cleaning, which is used to refer to all kinds of tasks and activities to detect and repair errors i...
