Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This essay is a case study of Czechoslovak Stalinist literature - socialist realism. In 1949, a Czech youngster Milan Kundera (1929-) and a Slovak celebrity Dominik Tatarka (1913-1989) were both dedicated Stalinist authors. The point is that they were members of the distinctive, Czech and Slovak, versions of socialist realism. The key aspects of these local socialist realisms were formed only by the conflicts inside The Communist Party of Czechoslovakia, which began only as late as 1949. However in the course of the six years that followed the nature of their public intellectual statements gradually morphed into the repudiation of their previous beliefs. How did this come about By intellectual journey through public debates and inside media channels, where the actual coining of concepts, key for the cultural discourse of Czechoslovak Stalinism, took place.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The movement of water in unconfined aquifers is often modeled by the Boussinesq equation. It is a nonlinear diffusion equation which was derived under the Dupuit assumption of essentially horizontal flows. There are multiple usages of the Boussinesq equation in baseflow studies, catchment hydrology and agricultural drainage problems as well as in other applications. Solutions of the Boussinesq equation can propagate with a finite speed, unlike solutions to the linear diffusion equation. In this work we obtain approximate closed-form solutions to the one-dimensional Boussinesq equation. With similarity transformations a number of initial-boundary-value problems for the Boussinesq equation can be reduced to boundary-value problems for an ordinary differential equation in terms of a similarity variable and scaling function, and we construct approximate polynomial solutions. Our solutions reproduce known exact solutions and compare favorably with the numerical results. Moreover our solutions preserve scaling properties of the problems and require small computational effort. This approach can be extended to the porous medium equation, which generalizes the Boussinesq equation. 100 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Since human genome studies have brought out a huge number of biosequence data, computational techniques have been developed preventing the vast of cost and time in the management process of these data. In this book, new approaches on clustering and classification methods in biosequence protein, enzyme sequences analysis are studied. Classification is a supervised learning algorithm that aims at categorizing or assigning class labels to a pattern set under the supervision of an expert. Therefore, the prediction of subcellular location of proteins and the classification of enzymes have been solved via data mining techniques. Clustering is an unsupervised learning technique that aims at decomposing a given set of elements into clusters based on similarity. Due to the fact that protein sequences have evolutionary relationship, all protein sequences can be organized in terms of their sequence similarity. A graphical illustration called phylogenetic tree can summarize the relationship between the protein sequences. The construction of phylogenetic tree is based on hierarchical clustering. Thus, we have proposed a new method as a linkage method in construction phylogenetic tree. 104 pp. Englisch. …

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The purpose of this book was to determine the effect of syllabus coverage on student performance in mathematics, for secondary schools in Kakamega South District. It further brings out the relationship between the percentage of the syllabus covered and the student performance in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education Examinations (KCSE). Schools that covered the mathematics syllabus early, had a better mean score than schools who did not cover the syllabus. Some of the factors that affect syllabus coverage were found to be absenteeism and entry behavior of both students and teachers. Schools that cover the syllabus early have to put in a lot of extra time for tuition. This included lessons created over lunchtime, in the evening during night preps, over the weekends, and during school holidays. It highlights the relationship between syllabus coverage and student performance as well as factors that affect syllabus coverage. This book therefore purposes to help mathematics teachers, heads of secondary schools, curriculum developers at Kenya Institute of Education (KIE), managers of the National Examinations, and other parties concerned with quality mathematics dissemination. 80 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The huge size of a continuously flowing data has put forward a number of challenges in data stream analysis. Exploration of the structure of streamed data represented a major challenge that resulted in introducing various clustering algorithms. However, current clustering algorithms still lack the ability to efficiently discover clusters of arbitrary densities in data streams. In this thesis, a new grid-based and density-based algorithm is proposed for clustering data streams. It addresses drawbacks of recent algorithms in discovering clusters of arbitrary densities. The algorithm uses an online component to map the input data to grid cells. An offline component is then used to cluster the grid cells based on density information. Relative density relatedness measures and a dynamic range neighborhood are proposed to differentiate clusters of arbitrary densities. The experimental evaluation shows considerable improvements upon the state-of-the-art algorithms in both clustering quality and scalability with different stream sizes and with higher dimensions. In addition, the output quality of the proposed algorithm is less sensitive to parameter selection errors. 116 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Registration of images generally means finding the geometrical transformations between the images. It is an important part of image processing since it is often necessary to compose several images together. The methods available for image registration depend on whether the images are shifted only, are similar (i.e. rotated, scaled, shifted) or are distorted in a more complicated way. In this book, Hana Druckmüllerová presents the method for image registration based on phase correlation for rotated, scaled and shifted images. The method does not require that the images to be registered have the same exposure setting, it is even not necessary that the images contain clearly visible matching structures. The method is thus extremely robust and suitable for registration tasks as challenging as the registration of coronal images taken during total solar eclipses. The complete and consistent mathematical approach to the phase correlation was developed in the whole broadness for the first time. The Fourier transform and the discrete Fourier transform and its properties necessary for the phase correlation are described. 120 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In this study, we examine various metadata server layouts for distributed data storage systems in terms of high availability, scalability and performance. A central metadata server is a single point of failure leading to low availability. Ensuring high availability requires replication of metadata servers. Synchronously replicated metadata servers layout introduces synchronization overhead which degrades the performance of data operations. We propose an asynchronously replicated multi-master metadata servers layout which ensures high availability, scalability and provides better performance. We discuss the implications of asynchronously replicated multi-master metadata servers on metadata consistency and con ict resolution. Furthermore, we introduce an asynchronous multi-master replication tool that is deployed in the state-wide distributed data storage system called PetaShare, and compare performance of all three metadata server layouts: central metadata server, synchronously replicated multi-master metadata servers and asynchronously replicated multi-master meta- data servers. 84 pp. Englisch.…
