An extensive introduction provides basic information about Russian
epics, their historical background, their poetics, the history of
their collection, their performance context, and their main
interpretations. In addition, their is a short introduction to each

A Fruitful Field for Researching Data Mining Methodology and for
Solving Real-Life Problems
Contrast Data Mining: Concepts, Algorithms, and Applications
collects recent results from this specialized area of data mining
that have previously been scattered in the literature, making them
more accessible to researchers and developers in data mining and
other fields. The book not only presents concepts and techniques
for contrast data mining, but also explores the use of contrast
mining to solve challenging problems in various scientific,
medical, and business domains.
Learn from Real Case Studies of Contrast Mining
Applications
In this volume, researchers from around the world specializing in
architecture engineering, bioinformatics, computer science,
medicine, and systems engineering focus on the mining and use of
contrast patterns. They demonstrate many useful and powerful
capabilities of a variety of contrast mining techniques and
algorithms, including tree-based structures, zero-suppressed binary
decision diagrams, data cube representations, and clustering
algorithms. They also examine how contrast mining is used in
leukemia characterization, discriminative gene transfer and
microarray analysis, computational toxicology, spatial and image
data classification, voting analysis, heart disease prediction,
crime analysis, understanding customer behavior, genetic
algorithms, and network security.
This book presents a detailed critical analysis of a period of
significant formal and thematic innovation in Muriel Spark's
literary career. Spanning the mid-1950s to the mid-1970s, it
identifies formative instances of literary experimentation in texts
including The Comforters, The Driver's Seat and The Public Image,
with an emphasis on metafiction and the influence of the nouveau
roman. As the first critical study to draw extensively on Spark's
vast archives of correspondence, manuscripts and research, it
provides a unique insight into the social contexts and personal
concerns that dictated her fiction.
This anthology presents translations of thirty songs about Ilya
Muromets, Dobrynya, Sadko, and other legendary characters of

Two summers. One chance to find the way back to you . . . When
Simon reconnects with his first love Sylvie - the French pen pal he
never met - he is determined to not let her go again. However, life
isn't so straight-forward at sixty as it was at sixteen. His
daughter's getting married, he's got a B&B to run, and his
larger-than-life school friend, Ian, has abruptly waltzed back into
his life. Deciding to seize this second chance, Simon sets off on a
bike ride from Bristol to Bordeaux with Ian in tow, on the very

although they now have better bikes, more acceptable haircuts, and
Google Maps, some things never change, and it soon becomes clear
that this trip will have even more bumps in the road than the first

at The Auckland University ofTechnology City Campus Conference
Centre. The aim of this conferencewasto providean
internationalforum for researchers, professi- als, and industrial
practitioners to share their knowledge in the rapidly growing area
of Web technologies, methodologies, and applications. Previous WISE
c- ferences wereheld in Hong Kong, China (2000), Kyoto, Japan
(2001), Singapore (2002), Rome, Italy (2003), Brisbane, Australia
(2004), New York, USA (2005), Wuhan, China (2006) and Nancy, France
(2007). The call for papers created considerable interest. Around
110 paper s- missions were received and the international Program
Committee selected 31 papers out of the 110 submissions (an
acceptance rate of 28. 2%). Of these, 17 papers were chosen for
standard presentation and the remaining 14 papers for short
presentation. The authors of the accepted papers range across 13
co- tries: Australia, China, Germany, Greece, Italy, Japan, Korea,
New Zealand, Poland, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland and the USA. The
technical track of the WISE 2008 program o?ered nine paper
presentation sessions. The selected - pers covered a wide and
important variety of issues in Web information systems engineering
such as querying; search; ranking; trust; peer-to-peer networks; -
formation ?ltering; information integration; agents and mining. A
few selected papers from WISE 2008 will be published in a special
issue of the World Wide Web Journal, bySpringer. Inaddition, a

A vast and desolate region, the Texas-New Mexico borderlands have
long been an ideal setting for intrigue and illegal dealings-never
more so than in the lawless early days of cattle trafficking and
trade among the Plains tribes and Comancheros. This book takes us
to the borderlands in the 1860s and 1870s for an in-depth look at
Union-Confederate skullduggery amid the infamous
Comanche-Comanchero trade in stolen Texas livestock. In 1862, the
Confederates abandoned New Mexico Territory and Texas west of the
Pecos River, fully expecting to return someday. Meanwhile,
administered by Union troops under martial law, the region became a
hotbed of Rebel exiles and spies, who gathered intelligence,
disrupted federal supply lines, and plotted to retake the
Southwest. Using a treasure trove of previously unexplored
documents, authors James Bailey Blackshear and Glen Sample Ely
trace the complicated network of relationships that drew both Texas
cattlemen and Comancheros into these borderlands, revealing the
urban elite who were heavily involved in both the legal and illegal
transactions that fueled the region's economy. Confederates and
Comancheros deftly weaves a complex tale of Texan overreach and New
Mexican resistance, explores cattle drives and cattle rustling, and
details shady government contracts and bloody frontier justice.
Peopled with Rebels and bluecoats, Comanches and Comancheros, Texas
cattlemen and New Mexican merchants, opportunistic Indian agents
and Anglo arms dealers, this book illustrates how central these
contested borderlands were to the history of the American West.
