Contemporary Perspectives in Data Mining: Volume 4
English | 2021 | ISBN: 1648021441 | 164 Pages | EPUB (True) | 4 MB
The series, Contemporary Perspectives on Data Mining, is composed of blind refereed scholarly research methods and applications of data mining. This series will be targeted both at the academic community, as well as the business practitioner. Data mining seeks to discover knowledge from vast amounts of data with the use of statistical and mathematical techniques. The knowledge is extracted from this data by examining the patterns of the data, whether they be associations of groups or things, predictions, sequential relationships between time order events or natural groups. Data mining applications are in business (banking, brokerage, and insurance), marketing (customer relationship, retailing, logistics, and travel), as well as in manufacturing, health care, fraud detection, homeland security and law enforcement.

Conflict, Peace, Security and Development: Theories and Methodologies By Helen Hintjens (editor), Dubravka Zarkov (editor)
2014 | 256 Pages | ISBN: 0415844819 | PDF | 4 MB
Whilst classical approaches linked development with peace, security has become central to understandings of both war and peacetime. This book uniquely reflects on how to deal with the convergence of war and peace in the context of global economic and geo-political development. It addresses methodological challenges in contemporary approaches to conflict, violence, security peace and development. Two dominant contemporary approaches are selected for debate on methodologies and ethical choices: rational choice and identity-based theorizing. The chapters are arranged as dialogues around contending approaches, to better understand how the inter-locking fields of violent conflict, peace, development and security can be researched and understood. The book considers how theoretical and methodological approaches relate to different ethical and political choices, including around engagement and intervention in the four interwoven fields. Theoretical, methodological and ethical issues emerge from the critical reviews of academic discourses and case-study based chapters from across the world, including Sri Lanka, Ghana, Colombia and Rwanda.This book is an invaluable resource for postgraduate students and researchers in Development Studies, Conflict Studies, Peace Studies and Security Studies.

Collected Works of Josef Stalin: Volume 1 By Josef V Stalin
2022 | 340 Pages | ISBN: 1088024998 | PDF | 12 MB
This edition of the English translation of J. V. Stalin's Works has been reproduced faithfully from the text of the English-based on the Russian edition-prepared by the Marx-Engels-Lenin Institute of the Central Committee, C.P.S.U.Iskra Books, the imprint of the Center for Communist Studies, has chosen to publish the full series of the Collected Works due to an academic scarcity of the materials, an increasing inaccessibility of used copies of the original Foreign Languages Publishing House editions of the 1950s, and a growing scholarly and practical interest in the writings and ideas of one of the Twentieth Century's most impactful socialist heads of state. Stalin's Works are both pedagogically accessible and theoretically important, and deserve to be studied not only as world-historical and practical applications of the development of Marxist-Leninist political theory, but-especially in an era where the rise of hegemonic imperialism and the decay of capitalism lead to an increasing global fascism-also as political-theoretical texts in their own right; as the core theoretical works underpinning extant socialist state governance, policy, legislation, and practice.

Clinico Radiological Series: Imaging of Chest Infections
English | 2019 | ISBN: 9352705025 | 500 Pages | PDF (True) | 73 MB
This book describes the role of imaging in diagnosis as well as image guided interventions at chest infections with reference to latest guidelines. In clinical practice, chest infections are amongst the commonest cause of significant morbidity and at times, mortality. The varied spectrum of such infections range from general population being affected by community acquired pneumonia, to immunocompromised individuals secondary to HIV, solid organ or hematopoietic transplantations being affected by uncommon, opportunistic organisms. This book consists of 6 sections that include general, imaging according to causative organism, imaging according to clinical scenarios, complications of pneumonia, pattern-wise approach to thoracic infections, and reporting formats, which are further divided into 29 chapters. The book tries to cover salient imaging differences between infections and their common non-infectious mimics. The variety of illustrative cases and proposed structured reporting formats for various scenarios are also provided at the end of the book. This book is aimed at practicing radiologists, physicians and pulmonologists managing the patients with chest infections.

Thomas J. Brown, "Civil War Canon: Sites of Confederate Memory in South Carolina "
English | ISBN: 1469620952 | 2015 | 362 pages | EPUB | 4 MB
In this expansive history of South Carolina's commemoration of the Civil War era, Thomas J. Brown uses the lens of place to examine the ways that landmarks of Confederate memory have helped white southerners negotiate their shifting political, social, and economic positions. By looking at prominent sites such as Fort Sumter, Charleston's Magnolia Cemetery, and the South Carolina statehouse, Brown reveals a dynamic pattern of contestation and change. He highlights transformations of gender norms and establishes a fresh perspective on race in Civil War remembrance by emphasizing the fluidity of racial identity within the politics of white supremacy.
