This book challenges the modern myth that tolerance grows as
societies become less religious. The myth inseparably links the
progress of toleration to the secularization of modern society.
This volume scrutinizes this grand narrative theoretically and
empirically, and proposes alternative accounts of the varied
relationships between diverse interpretations of religion and
secularity and multiple secularizations, desecularizations, and
forms of toleration. The authors show how both secular and
religious orthodoxies inform toleration and persecution, and how
secularizations and desecularizations engender repressive or
pluralistic regimes. Ultimately, the book offers an agency-focused
perspective which links the variation in toleration and persecution
to the actors of secularization and desecularization and their
cultural programs.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 20th International
Conference on Speech and Computer, SPECOM 2018, held in Leipzig,
Germany, in September 2018. The 79 papers presented in this volume
were carefully reviewed and selected from 132 submissions. The
papers present current research in the area of computer speech
processing, including recognition, synthesis, understanding and
related domains like signal processing, language and text
processing, computational paralinguistics, multi-modal speech
processing or human-computer interaction.
Outside Russia very little is known about the terrestrial ecology,
vegetation, biogeographical patterns, and biodiversity of the
enormously extensive ecosystems of Yakutia, Siberia. These systems
are very special in that they function on top of huge layers of
permafrost and are exposed to very severe and extreme weather
conditions, the range between winter and summer temperatures being
more than 100 degrees C. The soils are generally poor, and human
use of the vegetation is usually extensive. Main vegetation zones
are taiga and tundra, but Yakutia also supports a special land and
vegetation form, caused by permafrost, the alas: more or less
extensive grasslands around roundish lakes in taiga. All these
vegetation types will be described and their ecology and
ecophysiological characteristics will be dealt with. Because of the
size of Yakutia, covering several climatic zones, and its extreme
position on ecological gradients, Yakutia contains very interesting
biogeographical patterns, which also will be described. Our
analyses are drawn from many years of research in Yakutia and from
a vast body of ecological and other literature in Russian
publications and in unpublished local reports. The anthropogenic
influence on the ecosystems will be dealt with. This includes the
main activities of human interference with nature: forestry,
extensive reindeer herding, cattle and horse grazing, etc. Also
fire and other prominent ecological factors are dealt with. A very
important point is also the very high degree of naturalness that is
still extant in Yakutia's main vegetation zones.
Mathematical methods have been applied successfully to population
genet ics for a long time. Even the quite elementary ideas used
initially proved amazingly effective. For example, the famous
Hardy-Weinberg Law (1908) is basic to many calculations in
population genetics. The mathematics in the classical works of
Fisher, Haldane and Wright was also not very complicated but was of
great help for the theoretical understanding of evolutionary pro
cesses. More recently, the methods of mathematical genetics have
become more sophisticated. In use are probability theory,
stochastic processes, non linear differential and difference
equations and nonassociative algebras. First contacts with topology
have been established. Now in addition to the tra ditional movement
of mathematics for genetics, inspiration is flowing in the opposite
direction, yielding mathematics from genetics. The present mono
grapll reflects to some degree both patterns but especially the
latter one. A pioneer of this synthesis was S. N. Bernstein. He
raised-and partially solved- -the problem of characterizing all
stationary evolutionary operators, and this work was continued by
the author in a series of papers (1971-1979). This problem has not
been completely solved, but it appears that only cer tain operators
devoid of any biological significance remain to be addressed. The
results of these studies appear in chapters 4 and 5. The necessary
alge braic preliminaries are described in chapter 3 after some
elementary models in chapter 2."

This book examines the Chinese model of modernization in three key
fields - economic, political and military. The explanations
provided here, prepared by Russian analysts, are original because
of the authors' first-hand knowledge of China and their unique
professional experience. They share essential insights on China's
model of modernization and its connections to both policy and
practice. Focusing on the most vital issues surrounding
modernization, and on its impacts on the most important spheres in
China, the book offers a valuable asset for the analytical and
policy-making community.

This book is based on Valery Zagrebaev's original papers and
lecture materials on nuclear physics with heavy ions, which he
prepared and extended through many years for the students of
nuclear physics specialties. Th book outlines the main experimental
facts on nuclear reactions involving heavy ions at low energies. It
focuses on discussions of nuclear physics processes that are a
subject of active, modern research and it gives illustrative
explanations of these phenomena in the framework of up-to-date
theoretical concepts. This textbook is intended for students in
physics who have completed a standard course of quantum mechanics
and have basic ideas of nuclear physics processes. It is designed
as a kind of lifeboat that, at the end of the course, will allow
students to navigate the modern scientific literature and to
understand the goals and objectives of current, on-going research.

A comprehensive guide to AngularJS, Google's open-source
client-side framework for app development. Most of the existing
guides to AngularJS struggle to provide simple and understandable
explanations for more advanced concepts. As a result, some
developers who understand all the basic concepts of AngularJS
struggle when it comes to building more complex real-world
applications. "Professional AngularJS" provides a thorough
understanding of AngularJS, covering everything from basic
concepts, such as directives and data binding, to more advanced
concepts like transclusion, build systems, and automated
integration testing. In addition to explaining the features of
AngularJS, this book distills real-world experience on how these
features fit together to enable teams to work together more
effectively in building extraordinary apps.Offers a more thorough
and comprehensive approach to AngularJS than other guides to the
subjectIncludes pointers to other advanced topics and further
reading for those who want to take their skills even furtherLets
readers build a simple application from scratch, explaining basic
building blocks along way for quick hands-on learning
The well-known grandmaster and theoretician Evgeny Sveshnikov has
used the Closed Variation (1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.e5) more than 150
times in tournament play with a score of more than 70%. Many
theoretically important games have been excluded by the author from
official chess databases, and here they are exclusively published
for the first time. Volume 1 (Basic Course) contains the following
main chapters: Historical Overview of the Closed Variation; Plans
for White and Black on the Basis of Thoroughly Annotated Games; A
Lesson on the Blockade; 70 Test Positions: What Would You Play?
Volume 2 (Master Course) contains the following main chapters: 61
theoretically important games for independent analysis;
Encyclopaedia of variations; Summary of the 3.e5 system; Games for
further study; Latest theoretical developments. This two-volume
work is intended for a broad range of chess enthusiasts. The author
guarantees that anyone making a thorough study of the available
material can expect an improvement in his playing strength in this
system of approximate 200 Elo points.
