This book presents an overview of the field of multimodal location estimation. The authors' aim is to describe the research results in this field in a unified way. The book describes fundamental methods of acoustic, visual, textual, social graph, and metadata processing as well as multimodal integration methods used for location estimation. In addition, the book covers benchmark metrics and explores the limits of the technology based on a human baseline. The book also outlines privacy implications and discusses directions for future research in the area.

School science is dominated by textbook-oriented approaches to teaching and learning. Some surveys reveal that students have to read, depending on academic level, between ten and thirty-six pages per week from their textbook. One therefore has to ask, To what degree do textbooks introduce students to the literary practices of their domain? Few studies have addressed the quality of science curriculum materials, particularly textbooks, from a critical perspective. In this light, we are concerned in this book with better understanding the reading and interpretation practices related to visual materials-here referred to as inscriptions-that accompany texts. Our overarching questions included: What practices are required for reading inscriptions?' and Do textbooks allow students to develop levels of graphicacy required to critically read scientific texts?'

This book looks at Korea's economic, social and spatial development processes from the early Modernisation period to the financial crisis of 1997. It focuses on the political and ideological control of the state during the developmental era, as well as the environmental problems of Korea, and examines how society and environment have been used as means to attain rapid accumulation. Providing an holistic approach to Korean development, this title allows a comprehensive view of Korea's economic miracle as well as its recent problems.

Six months ago, Tab Bennett let go of her ordinary past and grudgingly embraced her future as an Elvish princess, born of the Light Queen and the Dark King. Queen Gwen's tragic death makes Tab the heir to the Throne of the Inbetween, but Tab's father, King Daniel, is alive and well, ruling the kingdom of the Underneath. He's made it clear he wants to meet her, and now that she knows all the heartache and loss in her life can be traced directly to the mad king, she wants to meet him too. Tab wants justice -- but she'll settle for revenge, and Finnegan Blackthorn, an Elvish warrior with secrets of his own, will help her get it. Together, they'll embark on the dangerous journey to her father's kingdom. Once there, farther than ever from the Light that is her inheritance, Tab will have to confront the seductive nature of Darkness and her father's gifts.

This book explores reading and interpretation practices related to visual materials - here referred to as inscriptions - that accompany texts. Guiding questions include: What practices are required for reading inscriptions and Do textbooks allow students to develop graphicacy skill required to critically read scientific texts The book reveals what it takes to interpret, read, and understand visual materials, and what it takes to engage inscriptions in a critical way.

This volume brings together twelve short stories by colonial Korean proletarian writers, as well as two works written in 1946 under U.S. military occupation. The volume provides a diverse, ever-changing portrait of the complex movements of people and ideas that constituted both colonial Korea and the Japanese empire, adding the tumultuous experiences of those from the Korean peninsula to the existing international canon of socialist and feminist literature.

Dit boek is het eerste uitgebreide werk voor clinici die schemagerichte therapie in hun praktijk willen toepassen. Het conceptuele model van de therapie wordt op uiterst heldere wijze beschreven. Vervolgens worden er behandelprotocollen gegeven. Het geheel wordt geillustreerd aan de hand van praktijkvoorbeelden en therapiefragmenten. De auteurs bespreken in deze uitgave niet alleen de behandeling van patienten met as-I-stoornissen, maar er worden ook recent ontwikkelde protocollen gegeven voor de behandeling van borderline-patienten en narcistische patienten. Wanneer disfunctionele denk- en gedragspatronen hardnekkig zijn, liggen er vaak zogeheten "schema"s" aan ten grondslag. Dit zijn belangrijke overtuigingen en gevoelens die het individu aanneemt zonder zich daarover vragen te stellen. Schema"s ontwikkelen zich in de kindertijd en breiden zich daarna uit. Schema"s houden zichzelf in stand en bieden sterke weerstand tegen verandering. Traditionele therapieen blijken dan ook doorgaans te beperkt te zijn om die schema"s omver te werpen.Schemagerichte therapie is een geintegreerde therapeutische benadering waarin elementen uit cognitieve, gedragstherapeutische en psychodynamische modellen, hechtingsmodellen en gestaltmodellen met elkaar worden gecombineerd. Deze therapie is erop gericht schema"s bij de patient te onderkennen en te doorbreken. Het is een effectieve behandeling voor een breed scala van klinische problemen, zelfs bij patienten die immuun voor behandeling lijken. Met dit boek, geschreven door onder anderen de grondlegger van de schemagerichte therapie, Jeffrey Young, beschikken therapeuten eindelijk over een allesomvattende handleiding voor de behandeling van die bijzonder lastige patienten met chronische, langdurige schema's en patronen.

Institutional investors have become increasingly important as equity holders in the U.S. financial market. This book investigates the relation between the structure of CEO compensation and the composition of firms' institutional ownership in terms of investment horizons and legal type. Consistent with regulators' and investors' concerns that myopic investment behavior by some institutional investors leads managers to fear an earnings disappointment, I provide evidence that in companies with more shares held by institutions with short-term investment horizons, executive compensation is structured with preference towards these short-term institutions' preferences (e.g., more use of stock options that do not need to be expensed and larger annual bonus penalties for missing quarterly earnings benchmarks). By documenting one potential consequence of firms' ownership structure that related to the various classes of institutional shareholders in term of investment horizons, this book should be of interest to regulators, investors, board of directors, and academicians who may need to identify and mitigate undue influences from short-sighted institutional investors.

The world changed forever in the course of one night, the first night of the zombie epidemic. A countless number of people were killed only to rise again as the walking dead. This collection of diaries are the first-hand accounts from people that witnessed what happened and describe in their own words what they experienced. Gathered from handwritten journals, reports, notes, audio and video recordings -the Dead Walk Diaries paints a vivid picture of the horror, atrocities, and chaos that occurred the first night the dead walked and attacked the living.
