This book constitutes the proceedings of the 10th International
Conference on Advanced Data Mining and Applications, ADMA 2014,
held in Guilin, China during December 2014. The 48 regular papers
and 10 workshop papers presented in this volume were carefully
reviewed and selected from 90 submissions. They deal with the
following topics: data mining, social network and social media,
recommend systems, database, dimensionality reduction, advance
machine learning techniques, classification, big data and
applications, clustering methods, machine learning, and data mining
and database.
Network monitoring serves as the basis for a wide scope of network,
engineering and management operations. Precise network monitoring
involves inspecting every packet traversing in a network. However,
this is not feasible with future high-speed networks, due to
significant overheads of processing, storing, and transferring
measured data. Network Monitoring in High Speed Networks presents
accurate measurement schemes from both traffic and performance
perspectives, and introduces adaptive sampling techniques for
various granularities of traffic measurement. The techniques allow
monitoring systems to control the accuracy of estimations, and
adapt sampling probability dynamically according to traffic
conditions. The issues surrounding network delays for practical
performance monitoring are discussed in the second part of this
book. Case studies based on real operational network traces are
provided throughout this book. Network Monitoring in High Speed
Networks is designed as a secondary text or reference book for
advanced-level students and researchers concentrating on computer
science and electrical engineering. Professionals working within
the networking industry will also find this book useful.
Under Quality of Service (QoS) routing, paths for flows are
selected based upon the knowledge of resource availability at
network nodes and the QoS requirements of flows. QoS routing
schemes proposed differ in the way they gather information about
the network state and select paths based on this information. We
broadly categorize these schemes into best-path routing and
proportional routing. The best-path routing schemes gather global
network state information and always select the best path for an
incoming flow based on this global view. On the other hand,
proportional routing schemes proportion incoming flows among a set
of candidate paths. We have shown that it is possible to compute
near-optimal proportions using only locally collected information.
Furthermore, a few good candidate paths can be selected using
infrequently exchanged global information and thus with minimal
communication overhead. Localized Quality Of Service Routing For
The Internet, describes these schemes in detail demonstrating that
proportional routing schemes can achieve higher throughput with
lower overhead than best-path routing schemes. It first addresses
the issue of finding near-optimal proportions for a given set of
candidate paths based on locally collected flow statistics. This
book will also look into the selection of a few good candidate
paths based on infrequently exchanged global information. The final
phase of this book will describe extensions to proportional routing
approach to provide hierarchical routing across multiple areas in a
large network. Localized Quality Of Service Routing For The
Internet is designed for researchers and practitioners in industry,
and is suitable for graduate level students in computer science as
a secondary text.

This book reconstructs the concept of the individual in Marx as the
key to a fresh interpretation of Marxian philosophy. Marx moved
from an examination of the contingency and indeterminacy of
individual consciousness in his early years to a critique of the
atomistic individual and materialised social relations in his later
years. His thought proposes that ‘real individuals’ are the
basis for an understanding of human society that promotes the
emancipation of humankind. Marx’s philosophy has often been
misunderstood as lacking a concept of the individual. In China,
this misunderstanding not only relates to cultural and linguistic
particularities (the word ‘individual’ is seldom used in
Chinese), but also relates to a misleading view of socialism and
communism. This book helps remedy this misunderstanding and draws
important comparisons and contrasts between Marx’s concept of the
individual with that of liberalism, and between Western and Eastern
Marxism.

models. This book presents general theoretical tools as well as
large number of specific examples to guide the reader to develop
their own tools that they may then apply to study structured models
in mathematical epidemiology. The book will be a valuable addition
to the arsenal of all researchers interested in developing theory
or studying specific models with age structure.

Li Zhi's iconoclastic interpretations of history, religion,
literature, and social relations have fascinated Chinese
intellectuals for centuries. His approach synthesized Confucian,
Buddhist, and Daoist ethics and incorporated the Neo-Confucian
idealism of such thinkers as Wang Yangming (1472-1529). The result
was a series of heretical writings that caught fire among Li Zhi's
contemporaries, despite an imperial ban on their publication, and
intrigued Chinese audiences long after his death. Translated for
the first time into English, Li Zhi's bold challenge to established
doctrines will captivate anyone curious about the origins of such
subtly transgressive works as the sixteenth-century play The Peony
Pavilion or the eighteenth-century novel Dream of the Red Chamber.
In A Book to Burn and a Book to Keep (Hidden), Li Zhi confronts
accepted ideas about gender, questions the true identity of
history's heroes and villains, and offers his own readings of
Confucius, Laozi, and the Buddha. Fond of vivid sentiment and sharp
expression, Li Zhi made no distinction between high and low
literary genres in his literary analysis. He refused to support
sanctioned ideas about morality and wrote stinging social
critiques. Li Zhi praised scholars who risked everything to expose
extortion and misrule. In this sophisticated translation,
English-speaking readers encounter the best of this heterodox
intellectual's vital contribution to Chinese thought and culture.

This is an educational material book for college students to do
statistical research by using SAS. SAS programming has been
difficult for students, because Statistics students don't know how
to write computer programs, and Computer Science students have no
idea about statistical research. This book formulates 28 SAS
programs for research; so that students don't need specialized
programming skill to write their own codes. To use the programs of
the book, students only need to follow the instructions from the
book to design the statistical experiments, and use the students'
data replaced the old data from the book. SAS can do the analysis
by click of the button. This book also gives specific
interpretation of each SAS output to help students understand their
research results. 1. Histogram 2. Confidence interval 3. T-Test 4.

This collection features five peer-reviewed reviews on rust
diseases of cereals. The first chapter provides an overview of the
wheat rust pathogen lifecycle that has been critical to the design
of effective disease management strategies and discusses recent
integration of basic biological knowledge and genomic-led tools
within an epidemiological framework. The second chapter introduces
stripe rust and provides an overview of its decimation of crop
yields worldwide. The chapter summarises recent advances in
identifying stripe rust resistance genes in wheat as a means of
controlling disease spread and limiting its economic damage. The
third chapter addresses the need for more effective and sustainable
control of rust pathogens affecting wheat and barley in the face of
increasing regulatory measures against the use of conventional
fungicides, as well as the spread of fungicide resistance. The
fourth chapter provides an overview of the recent advances in
controlling wheat rust, focussing on the role of pathogen and host
genetics, host-pathogen interactions, epidemiology and management
strategies. The final chapter considers the main rust pathogens
affecting sorghum and details the different conditions in which
they proliferate, their symptoms and impact on crop yields.
"This book is number 106 in the Burleigh Dodds Series in
Agriculture Science and continues this excellent series of
informative reviews in plant and animal agricultural production
systems. This volume is a collection of chapters by experts in
cereal diseases and disease management from around the world and
contains some excellent detailed overviews on recent advances in
our understanding of key cereal pathogens and advances in their
management. It will be a valuable resource for wheat and barley
focussed researchers, breeders and growers." (Professor Matt
Dickinson, University of Nottingham, UK - Plant Pathology) It's
been estimated that up to 40% of crop yields are lost to pests and
diseases worldwide, a problem exacerbated by increasing fungicide
resistance. Given the continuous struggle between crops and the
diseases which exploit them, achieving durable disease resistance
remains a key challenge in ensuring global food security. A range
of issues need to be addressed to meet this challenge for major
diseases affecting cereal crops such as Fusarium, barley yellow
dwarf virus (BYDV) and Septoria. Achieving durable disease
resistance in cereals provides an authoritative review of key
advances, from better understanding of pathogen
biology/epidemiology and plant-pathogen interactions, to
identifying sources of resistance and advances in techniques for
breeding new varieties. This collection offers a comprehensive
review of research on achieving durable resistance to diseases such
as Fusarium head blight, Septoria tritici blotch, Septoria nodorum
blotch, tan spot, blast, BYDV and Ramularia. Edited by Professor
Richard Oliver, Curtin University, Australia, Achieving durable
disease resistance in cereals will be an excellent reference for
researchers in cereal science, arable farmers, government and
private sector agencies supporting cereal production and companies
supplying the cereals sector (e.g. seed companies). It complements
Integrated disease management of wheat and barley, also edited by
Professor Oliver, published by Burleigh Dodds Science in 2018.
