The proceedings includes a selection of papers covering a range of
subjects focusing on topical areas of computer networks and
security with a specific emphasis of novel environments, ranging
from 5G and virtualised infrastructures to Internet of things,
smart environments and cyber security issues. Networking represents
the underlying core of current IT systems, providing the necessary
communication support for complex infrastructures. Recent years
have witnessed a number of novel concepts moving from theory to
large scale implementations, such as Software Defined Networking,
Network Function Virtualisation, 5G, smart environments, and IoT.
These concepts change fundamentally the paradigms used in
traditional networking, with a number of areas such as network
routing and system or business security having to adjust or
redesign to accommodate them. While the benefits are clear, through
the advent of new applications, use cases, improved user
interaction and experience, they also introduce new challenges for
generic network architectures, mobility, security, traffic
engineering.
Arthur Machen had an a substantial career as a novelist and
storyteller, but nothing he did in the course of a lifetime made
the impact he made in 1890 with _The Great God Pan._ The tale
literally caused a furor in London -- for it seemed to many readers
to bring horror and prurient sexuality together in a way that
echoed their moment, foreshadowing the decadence of our own.

This Handbook approaches sustainable development in higher
education from an integrated perspective, addressing the dearth of
publications on the subject. It offers a unique overview of what
universities around the world are doing to implement sustainable
development (i.e. via curriculum innovation, research, activities,
or practical projects) and how their efforts relate to education
for sustainable development at the university level. The Handbook
gathers a wealth of information, ideas, best practices and lessons
learned in the context of executing concrete projects, and assesses
methodological approaches to integrating the topic of sustainable
development in university curricula. Lastly, it documents and
disseminates the veritable treasure trove of practical experience
currently available on sustainability in higher education.

The digital age we now live in is fundamentally changing how we
relate to our perceptions and images. Daniel O'Shiel provides the
first comprehensive phenomenology of virtual technology in order to
show how the previously well-established experiential lines and
structures between three basic categories of phenomenal experience
- our everyday perceptions of reality; our everyday fantasies of
irreality; and our everyday engagements with external images, not
least digital ones - are becoming blurred, inverted or are even
collapsing in a new era where a specific type of virtuality is
coming to the fore. O'Shiel examines in depth just what this means
for the phenomenology behind it, as well as the concrete practical
consequences going forward. The work is divided into two main
parts. In the first O'Shiel fully investigates the phenomenological
natures of perception and imagination through close textual
analyses of the relevant works by Edmund Husserl, Eugen Fink and
Jean-Paul Sartre. In each phenomenologist perception and
imagination are ultimately seen as different in kind, although the
dividing line differs, especially with reference to a middle
category of 'image-consciousness' (Bildbewusstsein). This first
part argues for basic phenomenological differences between
perceptions; physical and external images; and more mental imagery,
while also allowing for a more general gradation between them. The
second part then applies these theoretical findings to some of the
most influential 'virtual technologies' today - social media;
online gaming; and some virtual, augmented and mixed reality
technologies - in order to show how previously clear categories of
real and irreal, present and absent, genuine and fake, and even
true and false, are becoming less so.
Available as single volumes or as a complete set, this collection
traces the evolution of a literary genre: the British speculative
future war novel. Taking science fiction from the 1890s, this set
explores the various ways in which the science fiction tradition
can be interpreted.
Borrowdale is probably the most beautiful valley in the Lake
District and offers the rock climber a huge variety of climbing
styles often in stunning panoramic settings. The valley is
well-known for accessible roadside climbing on crags such as
Reecastle, the ever popular Shepherd's Crag, Quayfoot Buttress and
the Bowderstone area, with most crags enjoying sun in the
afternoon. There are also a number of classic mountain venues like
Gillercomb and Raven Crag, Combe Gill where solitude and far
reaching vistas over the Lakeland fells can be savoured.This 2016
Borrowdale guide from the FRCC is fully revised. The valley is
divided into six logical areas presented with specially
commissioned showcase action images and clear OS based mapping. The
popular A5 format provides greater clarity and there is full
photodiagram coverage. The less well-trodden places such as the
Seathwaite buttresses, Combe Gill and Langstrath are given clear
photoplan coverage which clarifies these complex areas of small
immaculate outcrops. Exciting action images and the usual
supplementary essential information such as parking and camping are
included together with a comprehensive crag selector.The Fell &
Rock Climbing Club is the premier rock climbing and mountaineering
club in the English Lake District. The Club was founded in 1906-07
and has been publishing a definitive series of climbing guidebooks
to the Lakes since 1922.

This book fills an important gap in the literature, and presents
contributions from scientists and researchers working in the field
of sustainable development who have engaged in dynamic approaches
to implementing sustainability in higher education. It is widely
known that universities are key players in terms of the
implementation and further development of sustainability, with some
having the potential of acting as "living labs" in this rapidly
growing field. Yet there are virtually no publications that explore
the living labs concept as it relates to sustainability, and in an
integrated manner. The aims of this book, which is an outcome of
the "4th World Symposium on Sustainable Development at
Universities" (WSSD-U-2018), held in Malaysia in 2018, are as
follows: i. to document the experiences of universities from all
around the world in curriculum innovation, research, activities and
practical projects as they relate to sustainable development at the
university level; ii. to disseminate information, ideas and
experiences acquired in the execution of projects, including
successful initiatives and good practice; iii. to introduce and
discuss methodological approaches and projects that seek to
integrate the topic of sustainable development in the curricula of
universities; and iv. to promote the scalability of existing and
future models from universities as living labs for sustainable
development. The papers are innovative, cross-cutting and many
reflect practice-based experiences, some of which may be replicable
elsewhere. Also, this book, prepared by the Inter-University
Sustainable Development Research Programme (IUSDRP) and the World
Sustainable Development Research and Transfer Centre (WSD-RTC),
reinforces the role played by universities as living labs for
sustainable development.
"If now a swell from the Deep has swept over this planetary ship of
earth, and I, who alone chanced to find myself in the furthest
stern, as the sole survivor of her crew...What then, my God, shall
I do?". The Purple Cloud is widely hailed as a masterpiece of
science fiction and one of the best "last man" novels ever written.
A deadly purple vapor passes over the world and annihilates all
living creatures except one man, Adam Jeffson. He embarks on an
epic journey across a silent and devastated planet, an apocalyptic
Robinson Crusoe putting together the semblance of a normal life
from the flotsam and jetsam of his former existence. As he descends
into madness over the years, he becomes increasingly aware that his
survival was no accident and that his destiny - and the fate of the
human race - are part of a profound, cosmological plan.

Internet of Things (IoT) is an ecosystem comprised of heterogeneous
connected devices that communicate to deliver capabilities making
our living, cities, transport, energy, and other areas more
intelligent. This book delves into the different cyber-security
domains and their challenges due to the massive amount and the
heterogeneity of devices. This book introduces readers to the
inherent concepts of IoT. It offers case studies showing how IoT
counteracts the cyber-security concerns for domains. It provides
suggestions on how to mitigate cyber threats by compiling a
catalogue of threats that currently comprise the contemporary
threat landscape. It then examines different security measures that
can be applied to system installations or operational environment
and discusses how these measures may alter the threat
exploitability level and/or the level of the technical impact.
Professionals, graduate students, researchers, academicians, and
institutions that are interested in acquiring knowledge in the
areas of IoT and cyber-security, will find this book of interest.
Easy-to-grasp techniques for improving the short game
About 70 percent of the shots in a round of golf are taken 75 yards
from the pin or closer, making the short game the most significant
factor in a golfer's score. This practical guide shows readers how
to shave strokes off their game by improving their pitching,
chipping, bunker play, and putting. Golfers will find expert tips
on choosing the right wedges, putters, and balls, as well as
illustrated step-by-step instructions on swings used in short-game
shots. They'll also find information on how to beat bunkers and
other hazards and how to play various lies-in deep rough, from the
fairway, uphill, side-hill, and off bare ground. There's also a
section on stretches, exercises, and drills to improve techniques,
as well as tips on reading greens for accurate putting.
