Heterotopic World Fiction - Thinking Beyond Biopolitics with Woolf, Foucault, Ondaatje (Hardcover): Lesley Higgins,... Heterotopic World Fiction - Thinking Beyond Biopolitics with Woolf, Foucault, Ondaatje (Hardcover)
Lesley Higgins, Marie-Christine Leps
R2,639 R2,213 Discovery Miles 22 130 Save R426 (16%) Ships in 9 - 15 working days

After more than a century of genocides and in the midst of a global pandemic, this book focuses on the critique of biopolitics (the government of life through individuals and the general population) and the counterdevelopment of biopoetics (an aesthetics of life elaborating a self as a practice of freedom) realized in texts by Virginia Woolf, Michel Foucault, and Michael Ondaatje. Their world fiction produces transhistorical, transnational experiences offered to the reader for collective responsibility in these critical times. Their books function as heterotopias: spaces and processes that recall and confront regimes of recognized truths to dismantle fixed identities and actualize possibilities for becoming other. Higgins and Leps define and explore a slant, biopoetic perspective that is feminist, materialist, anti-racist, and anti-war.

Biostatistics with R - An Introductory Guide for Field Biologists (Paperback): Jan Leps, Petr Smilauer Biostatistics with R - An Introductory Guide for Field Biologists (Paperback)
Jan Leps, Petr Smilauer
R936 Discovery Miles 9 360 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

Biostatistics with R provides a straightforward introduction on how to analyse data from the wide field of biological research, including nature protection and global change monitoring. The book is centred around traditional statistical approaches, focusing on those prevailing in research publications. The authors cover t-tests, ANOVA and regression models, but also the advanced methods of generalised linear models and classification and regression trees. Chapters usually start with several useful case examples, describing the structure of typical datasets and proposing research-related questions. All chapters are supplemented by example datasets, step-by-step R code demonstrating analytical procedures and interpretation of results. The authors also provide examples of how to appropriately describe statistical procedures and results of analyses in research papers. This accessible textbook will serve a broad audience, from students, researchers or professionals looking to improve their everyday statistical practice, to lecturers of introductory undergraduate courses. Additional resources are provided on www.cambridge.org/biostatistics.

Old and New Fields of Old-Field Ecology In ecology, succession occupies a place similar to that of evolution in general biology. Ram6n Margalef, 1968. It was a great honor for me to have been asked by Marinus Werger to write an introductory note to this very special volume. Presumably my friends and former students in Europe felt that a few words from the New World might put the results presented in this exciting book into a somewhat broader perspective. My perspective (or retrospective), however, is neither impersonal nor original; it is an eclectic reflection of recent developments in ecology and in old-field ecology in particular. The ecological generalizations and theories of Ram6n Margalef and Eugene P. Odum, as we perceived them in Prague in the early 1970s, were for some of us so attractive and promising that we even started to believe it would not take too long until we had a truly unifying general theory of ecological succession. All that was needed - we thought - were data clarifying a few controversial issues. This is how our studies of old-field succession began in 1973. We viewed old-fields as a sort of 'Drosophila' for terrestrial ecology.

Model-Driven Development of Akoma Ntoso Application Profiles - A Conceptual Framework for Model-Based Generation of XML... Model-Driven Development of Akoma Ntoso Application Profiles - A Conceptual Framework for Model-Based Generation of XML Subschemas (Paperback, 1st ed. 2022)
Amelie Flatt, Arne Langner, Olof Leps
R1,299 Discovery Miles 12 990 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book presents a model-driven approach for creating a national application profile of the international legislative document standard Akoma Ntoso (AKN). AKN is an XML-based document standard that serves as the basis for modern machine-readable and fully digital legislative and judicial processes. The described model-driven development approach ensures consistent and error-proof application of AKN concepts and types, even when using different software tools. It allows for easy maintenance, is self-documenting, and facilitates stakeholder validation with nontechnical legal experts. The resulting application profile remains fully compliant to and compatible with AKN. For the sake of illustration, the approach is paradigmatically applied to the German federal legislative process, as a corresponding approach was used in the creation of the German AKN application profile, LegalDocML.de. We discuss how the methodology yields a model, schema definition and specification that correspond to the artefacts created by LegalDocML.de, using examples from Germany. The book is of interest to both legal and technical project teams on the cusp of introducing AKN in a legislative domain and intended as a practical guideline for teams preparing to create a custom application profile for their own domain. Furthermore, it can serve as both a resource and an inspiration for similar and yet to be developed methodologies in the public sector, the health sector or in defense, where international standardization and interoperability efforts are to be applied to a local level.

Multivariate Analysis of Ecological Data using CANOCO 5 (Paperback, 2nd Revised edition): Petr Smilauer, Jan Leps Multivariate Analysis of Ecological Data using CANOCO 5 (Paperback, 2nd Revised edition)
Petr Smilauer, Jan Leps
R1,887 R1,790 Discovery Miles 17 900 Save R97 (5%) Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This revised and updated edition focuses on constrained ordination (RDA, CCA), variation partitioning and the use of permutation tests of statistical hypotheses about multivariate data. Both classification and modern regression methods (GLM, GAM, loess) are reviewed and species functional traits and spatial structures analysed. Nine case studies of varying difficulty help to illustrate the suggested analytical methods, using the latest version of Canoco 5. All studies utilise descriptive and manipulative approaches, and are supported by data sets and project files available from the book website: http: //regent.prf.jcu.cz/maed2/. Written primarily for community ecologists needing to analyse data resulting from field observations and experiments, this book is a valuable resource to students and researchers dealing with both simple and complex ecological problems, such as the variation of biotic communities with environmental conditions or their response to experimental manipulation

In diesem Buch werden umsetzungsorientierte Konzepte zur Einfuhrung einer neuen Wohnungsgemeinnutzigkeit in Deutschland auf der Grundlage der Erfahrungen in ihrer langen Geschichte (1851 bis 1989) entwickelt. Hierfur werden historische, rechtliche und politische Gesichtspunkte sowie die europarechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen aufbereitet. Anhand der Beispiele von OEsterreich und den Niederlanden werden auch zwei aktuelle Wege einer sozialen Wohnraumversorgung analysiert und nutzbar gemacht. Fur eine neue Wohnungsgemeinnutzigkeit werden schnell umsetzbare Massnahmen sowie ein detailliertes Konzept fur den Aufbau eines groesseren gemeinwohlorientierten Wohnungsangebotes vorgeschlagen.

In this book, we present novel methodologies for automatically generating online scheduling strategies with the help of real life workload data. The scheduling problem includes independent parallel jobs, multiple identical machines, and a complex scheduling objective. This objective is defined by the machine provider and considers different priorities of user groups. In order to allow a wide range of objective functions, we use a rule based scheduling strategy. There, a rule system classifies all possible scheduling states and assigns an appropriate scheduling strategy to the actual state. The rule bases are developed in three different ways. We evaluate our new scheduling strategies again on real workload data and provide a comprehensive comparison of the different approaches among each other. Further, we show the benefit of the developed rule based scheduling systems by comparing them to the main standard algorithms currently in use. To this end, we select several exemplary objective functions that prioritize some user groups over others.
