Are you frustrated with your life, tired of your job? Do you feel that all your dreams and hopes have eluded you? Well, we all felt like this at one point in our lives. The question is: Were we willing to do something about it? In A Day's Work Markus Wagner sets out to change his unhappy life and escape his much-hated job but returns heavily disillusioned. Seeking a job he ends up trying his luck at his old company. When he is turned down, a dormant, dark side of Markus comes to light; a side that he himself doesn't seem to have been fully aware of either. He runs amok, killing his boss and taking a young intern hostage. Michael Lehner, a former coworker of Markus, is unexpectedly and against his will drawn into the unpleasant course of incidents, as are many others like the janitor of the company building and a police detective. A Day's Work is the story of a series of desperate people whose paths in life cross by accident, and ironically fate is merciless on them and doesn't show any sign of reason or moral.

Genetic Programming Theory and Practice IX

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 include: modularity and scalability; evolvability; human-competitive results; the need for important high-impact GP-solvable problems;; the risks of search stagnation and of cutting off paths to solutions; the need for novelty; empowering GP search with expert knowledge; In addition, GP symbolic regression is thoroughly discussed, addressing such topics as guaranteed reproducibility of SR; validating SR results, measuring and controlling genotypic complexity; controlling phenotypic complexity; identifying, monitoring, and avoiding over-fitting; finding a comprehensive collection of SR benchmarks, comparing SR to machine learning. This text is for all GP explorers. Readers will discover large-scale, real-world applications of GP to a variety of problem domains via in-depth presentations of the latest and most significant results.

Understanding how ecosystems are assembled -- how the species that make up a particular biological community arrive in an area, survive, and interact with other species -- is key to successfully restoring degraded ecosystems. Yet little attention has been paid to the idea of assembly rules in ecological restoration, in both the scientific literature and in on-the-ground restoration efforts. Assembly Rules and Restoration Ecology, edited by Vicky M. Temperton, Richard J. Hobbs, Tim Nuttle, and Stefan Halle, addresses that shortcoming, offering an introduction, overview, and synthesis of the potential role of assembly rules theory in restoration ecology. It brings together information and idea...

Zinc Oxide

The book gives a comprehensive review of the present state-of-the-art in ZnO R+D, including growth, doping, lattice dynamics, electric magnetic and optical properties. The emphasis is on the electric and optical properties, because this is the area where novel applications may be expected with highest promise. The book highlights not only the most recent results but gives both an overview of past research and of the present status -- not avoiding critical and controversial discussions of various aspects such as bank symmetries and laser processes. Intended to have long-lasting impact on ZnO R+D, this monograph addresses (post-)graduate students but also advanced scientists, who want to embark on ZnO research or are already involved, the present state of the art and assists them in avoiding duplication of old results (or mistakes).
