Download or read book The Club Rules Boys and Girls Pubs and Clubs written by Johnny Mac and published by Wheatmark, Inc.. This book was released on 2013 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Let's be realistic. In this technology-driven era of computer communication, texting, and Facebook stalking, few remember how to interface face-to-face. The art of communication has become more Picasso than Rembrandt, and "Club Rules" are quickly fading into an era of things people used to know. This is unfortunate and need not be! In The Club Rules: Pubs and Clubs, Boys and Girls, Authors Johnny Mac and Kimberly D. refocus us on these important rules with an updated twist from both the male and female perspective. Whether you're young or old, recently single or recently divorced, following the rules outlined in The Club Rules will not only help you successfully navigate through the club scene, but will also guarantee you a blast while there. About the Authors Johnny Mac has been single from his late thirties to his early forties, and loving every bit of it! Being single with the confidence and freedom he has in his forties has allowed him to utilize the same social skills for the night life that he employs every day in building his own business. Kimberly D. first discovered the intricate and involved world of pubs and clubs while studying abroad in the UK. Through her experiences in one particular pub there, she learned that she no longer needed to base her self-confidence on the amount of attention she was receiving from others. Through her clubbing experiences, she is constantly learning different techniques and better ways to handle herself to ensure a fun evening.

Download or read book Action Rules Mining written by Agnieszka Dardzinska and published by Springer. This book was released on 2012-12-14 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are surrounded by data, numerical, categorical and otherwise, which must to be analyzed and processed to convert it into information that instructs, answers or aids understanding and decision making. Data analysts in many disciplines such as business, education or medicine, are frequently asked to analyze new data sets which are often composed of numerous tables possessing different properties. They try to find completely new correlations between attributes and show new possibilities for users. Action rules mining discusses some of data mining and knowledge discovery principles and then describe representative concepts, methods and algorithms connected with action. The author introduces the formal definition of action rule, notion of a simple association action rule and a representative action rule, the cost of association action rule, and gives a strategy how to construct simple association action rules of a lowest cost. A new approach for generating action rules from datasets with numerical attributes by incorporating a tree classifier and a pruning step based on meta-actions is also presented. In this book we can find fundamental concepts necessary for designing, using and implementing action rules as well. Detailed algorithms are provided with necessary explanation and illustrative examples.

This book was released on 2006-05-28 with total page 678 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The international conference Intelligent Information Processing and Web Mining IIS:IIPWM’05, organized in Gda?sk-Sobieszewo on 13–16th June, 2005, was a continuation of a long tradition of conferences on applications of Arti?cial Intelligence (AI) in Information Systems (IS), organized by the Institute of Computer Science of Polish Academy of Sciences in cooperation with other scienti?c and business institutions. The Institute itself is deeply engaged in research both in AI and IS and many scientists view it as a leading institution both in fundamental and - plied research in these areas in Poland. The originators of this conference series, Prof. M. D?browski and Dr. M. Michalewicz had in 1992 a long-term goal of bringing together scientists and industry of di?erent braches from Poland and abroad to achieve a creative synthesis. One can say that their dream has come to reality. Scientists from ?ve continents made their subm- sions to this conference. A brief look at the a?liations makes international cooperation visible. The research papers have either a motivation in c- crete applications or are o?-springs of some practical requests. This volume presents the best papers carefully chosen from a large set of submissions (about 45%). At this point we would like to express our thanks to the m- bers of Programme Committee for their excellent job. Also we are thankful to the organizers of the special sessions accompanying this conference: Jan Komorowski, Adam Przepiórkowski, Zbigniew W.
Download or read book Modeling with Rules Using Semantic Knowledge Engineering written by Grzegorz J. Nalepa and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-04 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book proposes a consistent methodology for building intelligent systems. It puts forward several formal models for designing and implementing rules-based systems, and presents illustrative case studies of their applications. These include software engineering, business process systems, Semantic Web, and context-aware systems on mobile devices. Rules offer an intuitive yet powerful method for representing human knowledge, and intelligent systems based on rules have many important applications. However, their practical development requires proper techniques and models - a gap that this book effectively addresses.

Download or read book Public Procurement and the EU Competition Rules written by Albert Sánchez Graells and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-01-29 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortlisted for the 2012 Prix Vogel in Economic Law. Public procurement and competition law are both important fields of EU law and policy, intimately intertwined in the creation of the internal market. Hitherto their close connection has been noted, but not closely examined. This new work is the most comprehensive attempt to date to explain the many ways in which these fields, often considered independent of one another, interact and overlap in the creation of the internal market. In this process of convergence between competition and public procurement law , the need for this joint study is clearly apparent. As such the book asks whether competition law principles inform or condition public procurement rules, and whether they are adequate to ensure that competition is not distorted in markets where public procurement is particularly significant. The book moves away from the classical focus of public procurement on the activities of private actors, developing instead an analytical framework for the appraisal of the market behaviour of the public buyer from a competition perspective. The analysis is both legal and economic. Proceeding through a careful assessment of the general rules of competition and public procurement, the book constantly tests the efficacy of the rules in competition and public procurement against a standard of the proper functioning of undistorted competition in the market for public procurement.

Download or read book Virtue Epistemology written by Abrol Fairweather and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2001-05-31 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virtue epistemology is an exciting, new movement receiving an enormous amount of attention from top epistemologists and ethicists; this pioneering volume reflects the best work in that vein. Featuring superb writing from contemporary American philosophers, it includes thirteen never before published essays that focus on the place of the concept of virtue in epistemology. In recent years, philosophers have been debating how this concept functions in definitions of knowledge. They question the extent to which knowledge is both normative (i.e., with a moral component) and non-normative, and many of them dispute the focus on justification, which has proven to be too restrictive. Epistemologists are searching for a way to combine the traditional concepts of ethical theory with epistemic concepts; the result is a new approach called virtue epistemology--one that has established itself as a particularly favorable alternative. Containing the fruits of recent study on virtue epistemology, this volume offers a superb selection of contributors--including Robert Audi, Simon Blackburn, Richard Foley, Alvin Goldman, Hilary Kornblith, Keith Lehrer, Ernest Sosa, and Linda Zagzebski--whose work brings epistemology into dialogue with everyday issues.

Download or read book Real life Applications with Membrane Computing written by Gexiang Zhang and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-04-05 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book thoroughly investigates the underlying theoretical basis of membrane computing models, and reveals their latest applications. In addition, to date there have been no illustrative case studies or complex real-life applications that capitalize on the full potential of the sophisticated membrane systems computational apparatus; gaps that this book remedies. By studying various complex applications – including engineering optimization, power systems fault diagnosis, mobile robot controller design, and complex biological systems involving data modeling and process interactions – the book also extends the capabilities of membrane systems models with features such as formal verification techniques, evolutionary approaches, and fuzzy reasoning methods. As such, the book offers a comprehensive and up-to-date guide for all researchers, PhDs and undergraduate students in the fields of computer science, engineering and the bio-sciences who are interested in the applications of natural computing models.
Download or read book Autonomous Systems Developments and Trends written by Herwig Unger and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-10-30 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Workshops on Autonomous Systems emanated from a gathering with the doctoral students of just three chairs at Fernuniversität in Hagen, which we organise twice per year for a number of years now. Their purpose is to discuss on-going research and to create a community spirit. Furthermore, they serve as a means of structuring the students' research processes. The workshop has grown and matured in several respects. The doctoral students presenting their work do not come from a single university anymore, but from three. Besides them and their supervisors, also other scientists became interested in the event and contribute to its programme. Following the model of Advanced Study Institutes, they are available on the premises for relaxed, informal discussions outside the formal sessions. Finally, with the co-sponsorship of Gesellschaft für Informatik, the German Computer Society, and this surprisingly comprehensive volume of contributions published by Springer-Verlag the workshop turned into a visible scientific event.
