Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made

The symposium on which this volume was based brought together
approximately fifty scientists from a variety of backgrounds to
discuss the rapidly-emerging set of competing technologies for
exploiting a massive quantity of textual information. This group
was challenged to explore new ways to take advantage of the power
of on-line text. A billion words of text can be more generally
useful than a few hundred logical rules, if advanced computation
can extract useful information from streams of text and help find
what is needed in the sea of available material. While the
extraction task is a hot topic for the field of natural language
processing and the retrieval task is a solid aspect in the field of
information retrieval, these two disciplines came together at the
symposium and have been cross-breeding more than ever. The book is
organized in three parts. The first group of papers describes the
current set of natural language processing techniques used for
interpreting and extracting information from quantities of text.
The second group gives some of the historical perspective,
methodology, and current practice of information retrieval work;
the third covers both current and emerging applications of these
techniques. This collection of readings should give students and
scientists alike a good idea of the current techniques as well as a
general concept of how to go about developing and testing systems
to handle volumes of text.
The year 2006 marked the 150th anniversary of the birth of Sigmund
Freud, the father of psychoanalysis. To commemorate this event, the
Austrian government sponsored a number of academic and cultural
events. Among these was a historic gathering of representatives of
the four major United States psychoanalytic organizations: the
American Academy of Psychoanalysis and Dynamic Psychiatry, the
American Psychoanalytic Asociation, Division 39 of the American
Psychological Association, and the American Association for
Psychoanalysis on Clinical LSocial Work/NMCOP. The essays presented
by speakers from these organizations at the Embassy of Austria in
Washington, D.C., survey the tremendous and wide-ranging influence
that Freud had on history, contemporary society, culture and the
arts. The essays form the centerpiece of this book. Complementing
these wide-ranging essays are literary works and remarkable
photographs of Freud, his family, colleagues and patients which
were also presented during the commemorative celebrations of Freud
in the United States and Austria.

The Via Afrika intermediate phase graded readers are divided into
three sets of twelve readers: a Grade 4 level, a Grade 5 level and
a Grade 6 level. However, you may find it useful to use all three
sets in one grade to give learners an opportunity to read at their
correct level. Learners should read books that are on their level
or slightly below it, so that they can read easily and fluently.
The reader should contain very few words that the learner cannot
read or understand from the context. Once a learner has read all
the books on a particular level, the learner can go on to the next
level. Each set of readers is graded from an easy level (suitable
for learners reading at the simplest level) to more difficult
levels (suitable for the learner reading at the higher levels of
the grade). There are fiction readers, non-fiction readers and
readers that are a mixture of fact and fiction. Each reader
includes a few questions to think about or for discussion in a
group. Use the Via Afrika intermediate phase graded readers for
independent reading, pair reading or guided group reading.

"Remains of the Jews" studies the rise of Christian Empire in late
antiquity (300-550 C.E.) through the dense and complex manner in
which Christian authors wrote about Jews in the charged space of
the "holy land." The book employs contemporary cultural studies,
particularly postcolonial criticism, to read Christian writings
about holy land Jews as colonial writings. These writings created a
cultural context in which Christians viewed themselves as
powerful--and in which, perhaps, Jews were able to construct a
posture of resistance to this new Christian Empire. "Remains of the
Jews" reexamines familiar types of literature--biblical
interpretation, histories, sermons, letters--from a new perspective
in order to understand how power and resistance shaped religious
identities in the later Roman Empire.
Epiphanius, Bishop of Constantia on Cyprus from 367 to 403 CE, was
incredibly influential in the last decades of the fourth century.
Whereas his major surviving text-the Panarion, an encyclopedia of
heresies-is studied for lost sources, Epiphanius himself is often
dismissed as an anti-intellectual eccentric, a marginal figure of
late antiquity. In this book, Andrew S. Jacobs moves Epiphanius
from the margin back toward the center and proposes we view major
cultural themes of late antiquity in a new light altogether.
Through an examination of the key cultural concepts of celebrity,
conversion, discipline, scripture, and salvation, Jacobs shifts our
understanding of late antiquity from a transformational period open
to new ideas and peoples toward a Christian Empire that posited a
troubling, but ever-present, otherness at the center of its
cultural production.
Business modelling is a vast arena of research and practice, which
is gaining increasing important in the rapid development of
e-commerce, globalization, and in particular, the movement toward
global e-business. The ability to utilize advanced computing
technology to model, analyse and simulate various aspects of
ever-changing businesses has made a significant impact on the way
businesses are designed and run these days. With the current global
e-business and e-commerce initiatives, it has become important that
all businesses carefully validate their business objectives,
requirements, and strategies through a careful process of formal
business modelling. It is important for effective enterprise
decision making to have clear, concise business models that allow
the extraction of critical value from business processes and
specify the rules to be globally enforced. Particularly in
e-business specifications, the need to be unambiguous, accurate,
and complete becomes even greater, because there may be no human
mediator or agent to rely on in complex or unforeseen situations.
Business Modelling: Multidisciplinary Approaches - Economics,
Operational, and Information Systems Perspectives, arranged in
three parts, brings scholarly perspectives from various disciplines
to bear on some of the critical aspects of business modeling. The
first part (chapters 1-8) focuses on business modelling
fundamentals and starts with a series of economics and operations
research perspectives. The second part (chapters 9-19) concentrates
on modelling in electronic businesses and focuses on Management
Information Systems and Decision Support Systems. The third part
(chapters 20-22) centers on multidisciplinary business modelling
progress, in particular on the seminal work of Professor Andrew B.
Whinston.
This book is designed to meet the modern need for a better
understanding of drug-receptor interaction as applied to the
gathering and interpretation of dose-response data. It is an
introduction suitable for any student who has had a first course in
pharmacology. This book is an extension of the pharmacology course
into one area of what is now known as molecular pharmacology. The
material included is an outgrowth of courses that we have given in
recent years to health-science students in several professional
schools and universities. The area of drug-receptor theory,
although just a part of molecular phar macology, is already very
broad. One major line of investigation is concerned with the
chemical and structural nature of specific receptors and with
efforts to isolate specific receptors. Another line of
investigation is concerned with the kinetic theories of
drug-receptor interaction, the effort there being to provide a
general theory that is applicable to wide classes of drugs. We have
chosen to deal with the latter. There are several reasons for our
choice of topics. First, the information is very practical; that
is, it permits one to use properly and consistently terms such as
"efficacy," "partial agonist," "pure antagonist," "potency," "pA2'"
etc., when describing drug action. Second, many students fail to
appreciate the differences in and the limitations of the various
theories, beginning with the classical theory of A. J. Clark, on up
to the very recent allosteric theories."
Christianity in Late Antiquity, 300-450 C.E.: A Reader collects primary sources of the early Christian world, from the last "Great Persecution" under the Emperor Diocletian to the Council of Chalcedon in the mid-fifth century. During this period Christianity rose to prominence in the Roman Empire, developed new notions of sanctity and heresy, and spread beyond the Mediterranean world. This reader incorporates standard texts--from authors such as Athanasius, Augustine, and Eusebius--in the most recent translations and also includes less familiar texts, some of which appear in English translation for the first time. Presented in their entirety or in long excerpts, the texts are arranged thematically and cover such topics as orthodoxy, conversion, asceticism, and art and architecture. The editors provide introductions for each chapter, text, and image, situating the selections historically, geographically, and intellectually. Christianity in Late Antiquity, 300-450 C.E.: A Reader highlights the ways in which religion and culture were mutually transformed during this crucial historical period. Ideal for courses in Early Christianity, Christianity in Late Antiquity, and History of Christianity, this reader is an excellent companion to Bart D. Ehrman's After the New Testament (OUP, 1998) and an exceptional resource for scholars.
