friends as they get some lessons in ice car racing and travel to
Northpia to compete in a tournament. They find themselves unlikely

This monograph is a comprehensive introduction to the field of
soccer robotics. Soccer robotics has become an important research
area integrating mechatronics, computer science and artificial
intelligence techniques to create real-world autonomous systems. It
also serves as a popular test arena in which to compare the
different approaches, in diverse types of competition and with
varying levels of distributed perception and collaboration. The
focus of this monograph is the FIRA framework of Soccer Robotics,
in particular MiroSot, which uses a central overhead camera to
overview the whole soccer field and a central control of the
robots. "Soccer Robotics" completely describes the different
requirements to create a soccer team and details the hardware
aspects, the computer vision needed, navigation, action selection,
basic skills and game strategy. These aspects are described at an
undergraduate level, resulting in a book not only useful as a text
for courses but also indispensable for everyone who wants to
participate in MiroSot robotics.
This book brings Korea's finest foreign policy minds together in
contemplating the risks and rewards of finally ending the 70 year
stalemate between North and South Korea through reunification.
While North Korea is in conflict with the United States over
denuclearization and regime security, the South Korean government
is focusing on economic development preparing for the day when the
two Koreas are unified. This book will help scholars, activists and
policy-makers from all over the world systematically understand the
current diplomatic and security issues in the Korean peninsula.

This volume uses the concept of contact zones to reconceptualize
the time and space around East Asian borders as meeting zones where
multiple races, nations, cultures and religions interacted through
the processes of exchange, coexistence, and acculturation. Focusing
especially on the borderlands of China and Korea, the contributors
document the shifts and repositioning of the contact zones of East
Asia as well as the encounters and conflicts that transpired in
these spaces, with historical materials spanning the period from
the first to the early twentieth centuries and geographical regions
from the Tibetan Plateau to Manchuria to the Korean Peninsula. What
emerges is a rich account of how the historical changes in the
contact zones significantly shaped the history of East Asia as a
whole.
This book provides the scientific community for the very first
time, a comprehensive review on cucurbit[n]uril (CB[n], n = 510), a
new family of molecular hosts, which has gained much attention in
the new millennium for its exceptional molecular recognition
ability. This pioneering publication starts with a brief overview
on the history of CBs, followed by six chapters which cover the
synthesis, structures, recognition properties of CBs;
supramolecular assemblies built with CBs; applications of CBs;
functionalization of CBs; applications of functionalized CBs; and
CBs analogues and congeners. Full and up-to-date coverage of all
the key issues in the area of CB chemistry are also provided, as
are fresh perspectives.
Transnational Communities in the Smartphone Age: The Korean
Community in the Nation's Capital examines the durable ties
immigrants maintain with the home country and focuses in particular
on their transnational cultural activities. In light of changing
technologies, especially information and communication technologies
(ICTs), which enable a faster, easier, and greater social and
cultural engagement with the home country, this book argues that
middle-class immigrants, such as Korean immigrants in the
Washington-Baltimore region, sustain more regular connections with
the homeland through cultural, rather than economic or political,
transnational activities. Though not as conspicuous and contentious
as other forms of transnational participation, cultural
transnational activities may prove to be more lasting and also
serve as a backbone for maintaining longer-lasting connections and
identities with the home country.
This highly illustrated book describes how to perform dermal filler
procedures in a way that simultaneously takes into account esthetic
and safety aspects in order to achieve optimal outcomes in
individual patients. After discussion of filler materials and
design considerations, the relevant basic and clinical anatomy is
described, drawing on cadaveric examinations and imaging in living
subjects. Step-by-step instruction is then provided on how to
identify a safe injection plane and on injection using the pinch
technique. The coverage includes guidance on injection procedures
specific to different sites. A thorough and systemic description of
potential side effects of filler injection, and the management of
complications is also presented. The Art and Science of Filler
Injection equips the reader with a sound knowledge of all aspects
relevant to the achievement of pleasing esthetic results without
side effects and will be of value for practitioners at all levels
of experience.
Volume 4 in this research series contains nine papers. Following
the tradition of the earlier volumes, it is similar in style to the
first three volumes and illustrates ongoing research thrusts on a
variety of financial economics issues that are germane to working
capital management. The papers have been logically divided into
three parts.
The first part of the volume focuses on the issues covering
short-term interest rates, short-term financial management, and a
cash balance model. Part two contains papers that examine the issue
of trade credit analysis under a competitive pricing situation and
an environment in which the level of sales fluctuates. Finally Part
3 departs from the traditional discussions on working capital
management in that it explores dividend payouts and tax environment
changes as a source of concern to treasury (and financial)
managers.
This fourth volume presents a rich variety of papers that address
an expanding facet of working capital management. It is hoped that
the papers are found to be informative and act to stimulate
research and practice in the area of treasury/financial
management.
Intelligent systems have been initiated with the attempt to
imitate the human brain. People wish to let machines perform
intelligent works. Many techniques of intelligent systems are based
on artificial intelligence. According to changing and novel
requirements, the advanced intelligent systems cover a wide
spectrum: big data processing, intelligent control, advanced
robotics, artificial intelligence and machine learning. This book
focuses on coordinating intelligent systems with highly integrated
and foundationally functional components. The book consists of 19
contributions that features social network-based recommender
systems, application of fuzzy enforcement, energy visualization,
ultrasonic muscular thickness measurement, regional analysis and
predictive modeling, analysis of 3D polygon data, blood pressure
estimation system, fuzzy human model, fuzzy ultrasonic imaging
method, ultrasonic mobile smart technology, pseudo-normal image
synthesis, subspace classifier, mobile object tracking, standing-up
motion guidance system, recognition structure, multi-CAM and
multi-viewer, robust Gaussian Kernel, multi human movement
trajectory extraction and fashion coordination. This edition is
published in original, peer reviewed contributions covering from
initial design to final prototypes and authorization.

Kim Byeongsu is losing his mind. Quite literally. He keeps
forgetting the little things in life, like basic words, whether or
not he has a dog, the last time he killed someone... In his prime,
Byeongsu was one of the best murderers around, spending years
obsessively trying to perfect his technique, only killing in the
pursuit of artistry. And then he gave it all up to be a dedicated
father to his adopted-daughter, Eunhui. Now though, suffering from
the onset of dementia, he decides to come out of retirement one
last time and for one final target: his daughter's boyfriend, who
he believes is a serial killer just like him. After all, it takes
one to know one. In other dark and glittering tales, an affair
between two childhood friends questions the limits of loyalty and
love; a family disintegrates after a baby son is kidnapped and
recovered years later; and a wild, erotic pursuit of creativity
might just come at the expense of all sanity. 'Filled with the kind
of sublime, galvanizing stories that strike like a lightning bolt,
searing your nerves' Nylon
