A Grand Retreat and Other Plays
About the book: This selection of plays offers an overview of Lee Gun-sam's attempts to portray the socially-underprivileged people's 'heroic' struggle to assert their human dignity in a society swarming with time-serving snobs and hypocrites. Lee Gun-sam's heartstring was always attached to those who remain honest to themselves and fight for their moral principles. His favorite characters, without exception, are those who adhere to the values they cherish, living in a world that asks for compromise and self-suppression for survival. The protagonists in his plays are neither 'tragic' nor 'comic': they traverse the borderline between the two realms, stereotyped by dramatic convention. Each of...
Intelligent Data Engineering and Automated Learning – IDEAL 2008
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Intelligent Data Engineering and Automated Learning, IDEAL 2008, held in Daejeon, Korea, in November 2008. The 56 revised full papers presented together with 10 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions for inclusion in the book. The papers are organized in topical sections on learning and information processing, data mining and information management, bioinformatics and neuroinformatics, agents and distributed systems, as well as financial engineering and modeling.
Cultural and Literary Dialogues Between Asia and Latin America
This book brings together a group of leading and emerging scholars on the history of cultural and literary interactions between Asia and Latin America. Through a number of interlinked case studies, contributors examine how different forms of Asia-Latin America dialogues are embedded in various national and local contexts. The volume is divided in four parts: 1) Asian hybrid identities and Latin American transnational narratives; 2) translations and reception of Latin American narratives in Asia; 3) diffracted worlds of Nikkei identities; and 4) interweaving of Asian and Latin American narratives and travel chronicles. Through the lens of modern globality and Transpacific Studies, the contributions inaugurate a perspective that has, until recently, been neglected by Asian and Latin American cultural studies, while offering an incisive theoretical discussion and detailed textual analysis.
Challenges for Computational Intelligence
In recent years computational intelligence has been extended by adding many other subdisciplines and this new field requires a series of challenging problems that will give it a sense of direction in order to ensure that research efforts are not wasted. This book written by top experts in computational intelligence provides such clear directions and a much-needed focus on the most important and challenging research issues.
Camp Cutlery
Peanut (pronouns: they, them, theirs) is an outspoken transgender teen who is a rebel with a cause. When getting revenge on their bully goes explosively wrong, Peanut is sentenced to a youth correctional facility - Camp Cutlery. Here, girls must wear skirts, boys must wear pants, and there is no such thing as being trans. To survive, Peanut must hide their gender by any means necessary. Piece of cake, right? All of that is small potatoes to what’s really going on at Camp Cutlery. If everything has a price, what will Peanut sacrifice in their search for the truth... and freedom? Join Peanut in this whimsical tale of juvenile crime, justice - and talking food.
A Garden of Quanta
This book is a collection of reviews and essays about the recent wide-ranging developments in the areas of quantum physics. The articles have mostly been written at the graduate level, but some are accessible to advanced undergraduates. They will serve as good introductions for beginning graduate students in quantum physics who are looking for directions. Aspects of mathematical physics, quantum field theories and statistical physics are emphasized.
Neural Information Processing
The three volume set LNCS 7062, LNCS 7063, and LNCS 7064 constitutes the proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Neural Information Processing, ICONIP 2011, held in Shanghai, China, in November 2011. The 262 regular session papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers of part I are organized in topical sections on perception, emotion and development, bioinformatics, biologically inspired vision and recognition, bio-medical data analysis, brain signal processing, brain-computer interfaces, brain-like systems, brain-realistic models for learning, memory and embodied cognition, Clifford algebraic neural networks, combining multiple lear...
