"Venomous Bites from Non-Venomous Snakes
This book is the first significant contribution to thoroughly examine the potential hazards associated with snakes of the former family, Colubridae. This family contained >65% of living snake species (approximately 3,000 taxa) and has recently been split into multiple families. Many of these snakes produce oral secretions that contain toxins and other biologically-active substances. A large variety of these snakes figure in the pet industry, yet little documented information or formal study of their potential medical importance has been published. Therefore, although the possible medical importance of many of these species has been subjected to speculation since the mid-nineteenth century, t...
Finite Model Theory and Its Applications
Finite model theory,as understoodhere, is an areaof mathematicallogic that has developed in close connection with applications to computer science, in particular the theory of computational complexity and database theory. One of the fundamental insights of mathematical logic is that our understanding of mathematical phenomena is enriched by elevating the languages we use to describe mathematical structures to objects of explicit study. If mathematics is the science of patterns, then the media through which we discern patterns, as well as the structures in which we discern them, command our attention. It isthis aspect oflogicwhichis mostprominentin model theory,“thebranchof mathematical log...
Team of Steves
WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU CAME FACE TO FACE WITH THREE OTHER VERSIONS OF YOU?Steve Buchmann is having a rough year. His dad's awful girlfriend is moving in. His bitter physics teacher is trying to drive him out of high school. And his mentor is about to run the same experiment that killed Steve's mom.But when that experiment fails once again, it brings Steve face-to-face with three versions of himself from DIFFERENT DIMENSIONS. They may look like him, but they are nothing like him. And those differences may be the key to solving all of his problems... if they don't destroy his life in the process.
Team of Steves - Dimensions
HOW MANY DIMENSIONS WOULD YOU SEARCH TO BRING YOUR FAMILY BACK TOGETHER?Steve Buchmann is sure that his mom is still alive. It's been five years since she disappeared in a failed experiment that everyone believed killed her. But six months ago, another attempt at that same experiment brought Steve face-to-face with three versions of himself from different dimensions-convincing him that his mom is lost in another reality.Turns out dimension-hopping to find a missing parent comes with a few challenges. There are countless other worlds his mom could be on. Each of those worlds could be anything-like completely flooded, filled with evil Communists, or controlled by a New Jersey warlord. Even with the help of his doppelgängers, Steve will have to escape from tech-hungry scientists and avoid his over-protective dad before he runs out of time. Because the search for his mom may destroy the very fabric of reality itself?
Focus
This collection of papers examines the theoretical, psychological and descriptive approaches to focus.
The Million Dollar Quartet
Million Dollar Quartet’ is the name given to recordings made on Tuesday December 4, 1956 in the Sun Record Studios in Memphis, Tennessee. The recordings were of an impromptu jam session among Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Johnny Cash.The events of the session. Very few participants survive. Includes interviews with the drummer and the sound engineer. A detailed analysis of the music played – and its relevance to subsequent popular music. The early lives and careers of the quartet – where they were in 1956. Relevant social and economic factors which meant that a massive audience of young people were keenly looking for a new kind of music they could call their own. The “reunions” of surviving members of the quartet. The emergence of the tapes, first on bootleg and then on legitimate CDs. The genesis of the stage show and its reception – the enduring appeal of the music.
Australia's Dangerous Snakes
Australia’s venomous snakes are widely viewed as the world’s most deadly and are regarded with cautious curiosity, fascination and, regrettably, fear. Australia’s Dangerous Snakes examines the biology, natural history, venom properties and bite treatment of medically important venomous marine and terrestrial snakes. It contains comprehensive identification profiles for each species, supported by keys and photographs. In addition to their medical importance, the environmental roles of these snakes and the threats that are causing the decline of many of these reptiles are discussed. Drawing on the authors’ experience in the fields of herpetology, toxinology and clinical medicine, this book stimulates respect and admiration and dispels fear of Australia’s fascinating snakes. Australia’s Dangerous Snakes will provide hours of rewarding reading and valuable information for anyone interested in Australia’s unique wildlife and natural history, and will be an essential reference for herpetologists, toxinologists, physicians, zoo personnel and private snake collectors.
The Oxford Handbook of Computational Linguistics
Ruslan Mitkov's highly successful Oxford Handbook of Computational Linguistics has been substantially revised and expanded in this second edition. Alongside updated accounts of the topics covered in the first edition, it includes 17 new chapters on subjects such as semantic role-labelling, text-to-speech synthesis, translation technology, opinion mining and sentiment analysis, and the application of Natural Language Processing in educational and biomedical contexts, among many others. The volume is divided into four parts that examine, respectively: the linguistic fundamentals of computational linguistics; the methods and resources used, such as statistical modelling, machine learning, and corpus annotation; key language processing tasks including text segmentation, anaphora resolution, and speech recognition; and the major applications of Natural Language Processing, from machine translation to author profiling. The book will be an essential reference for researchers and students in computational linguistics and Natural Language Processing, as well as those working in related industries.
