After selling his business, rich middle-aged merchant Dickson McCunn decides to set out on a walking holiday in the Scottish Borders. There he meets a young English poet, and both soon become embroiled in the plot of an international gang to capture a Russian princess. With the help of the Gorbals Die-hards, an indomitable gang of urchins from Glasgow, they frustrate and finally defeat the gang. And in the process Dickson happens to discover a new meaning to life ...
Introduction to Programming Using JAVA. 700 pages. The first programming course at Hobart and William Smith Colleges covers the Java programming language. Since 1996, the textbook for the course has been this Java textbook that was written for the course. The current version 2009 is Introduction to Programming Using Java, Version 6.0. It requires Java 5.0 or higher. It is an introduction to programming and also an introduction to Java directed towards people who do not have any background in programming, although it might also be useful for experienced programmers who want to learn something about Java. It is certainly not meant to provide complete coverage of the Java language. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: David J. Eck, Ph.D. in Mathematics (Brandeis University, 1980) is working as a teacher and instructor at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science of the Hobart and William Smith Colleges.
Comunicación, política y desarrollo aborda una variedad de objetos de estudio, enfoques y metodologías utilizadas en el campo de los estudios de la comunicación en nuestra región. Las propuestas pretenden incorporar nuevos enfoques provenientes de múltiples disciplinas asociados a la comunicación desde una perspectiva crítica. A la vez, este compilado busca entender la comunicación no de manera instrumental, sino como un proceso complejo de significación social e interacción, con implicaciones políticas, tecnológicas, sociales y culturales. En este sentido, la Serie Estudios de la Comunicación, de la cual este libro es parte, busca fomentar la discusión, el debate y la producción científica desde diferentes ángulos o perspectivas, que conlleven a la resolución de problemas a través de la investigación aplicada o el desarrollo de ensayos teóricos que fortalezcan investigaciones de comunicación desde perspectivas transdisciplinarias.
Crystallography remains, for mineralogy, one of the main sources of information on natural crystalline substances. A description of mineral species shape is carried out according to the principles of geometric crystallography; the crystal structure of minerals is determined using X-ray crystallography techniques, and physical crystallography approaches allow one to evaluate various properties of minerals, etc. However, the reverse comparison should not be forgotten as well: the crystallography science, in its current form, was born in the course of mineralogical research, long before preparative chemistry received such extensive development. It is worth noting that, even today, investigations of crystallographic characteristics of minerals regularly open up new horizons in materials science, because the possibilities of nature (fascinating chemical diversity; great variation of thermodynamic parameters; and, of course, almost endless processing time) are still not available for reproduction in any of the world's laboratories. This Special Issue is devoted to mineralogical crystallography, the oldest branch of crystallographic science, and aims to combine important surveys covering topics indicated in the keywords below.
This timely introduction to spectral feature selection illustrates the potential of this powerful dimensionality reduction technique in high-dimensional data processing. It presents the theoretical foundations of spectral feature selection, its connections to other algorithms, and its use in handling both large-scale data sets and small sample problems. Readers learn how to use spectral feature selection to solve challenging problems in real-life applications and discover how general feature selection and extraction are connected to spectral feature selection. Source code for the algorithms is available online.This book is made open access as part of the Knowledge Unlatched KU Select 2018: STEM Backlist Books

Based on information about more than 600 Viennese Jewish officials, the book examines issues related to the self-characterization and outside characterization of Jews in Vienna. Sports are an important part of urban identity politics, providing a multifaceted image of engagement with Jewish “difference.” The study focuses on mass consumption sports, especially football, but includes swimming, boxing, and workers’ sports.

Long before extended space travel became a reality, prolific science fiction author Murray Leinster created a richly detailed scenario in which a project that bears a striking resemblance to the International Space Station is being planned and executed. However, several nefarious factions want the planned expedition to fail. Can unlikely hero Joe Kenmore salvage the project?
Public administration; Political scienceHoe kiezen mensen uit de vele mogelijkheden waarvoor zij zich - iedere dag opnieuw - gesteld zien? In dit boek geven vooraanstaande Nederlandse wetenschappers uit diverse disciplines een helder overzicht van de meest recente kennis over menselijk keuzegedrag. Daarbij gaan zij uitgebreid in op de grote invloed van de omgeving en de rol van het onbewuste. Bovendien komen de nieuwste inzichten uit de neurobiologie aan bod. Dit boek is bedoeld voor iedereen die zich bezighoudt met menselijk keuzegedrag en de vraag hoe dat kan worden beïnvloed. Hoe kunnen mensen bijvoorbeeld worden verleid tot een gezondere levensstijl? Tot energiebesparend gedrag? Tot een verstandige financiële planning? De wetenschappers in deze bundel bieden nieuwe en veelbelovende perspectieven voor antwoorden op dit soort vragen.
