Russia

Pages : 0
Book Description
Although the Russian Gov't. (RG) generally respected the human rights of its citizens in some areas, serious problems remain in many areas, such as Chechnya. Despite the continued wide diversity of press in Russia, RG pressure on the media increased and resulted in numerous restrictions on the freedom of speech and press. The RG does not always respect the Constitutional provision for equality of religions and for citizens' freedom of movement. Violence against women and abuse of children remained problems, as did discrim'n. against women, persons with disabilities, and ethnic minorities. Trafficking in persons, particularly women and young girls, was a serious problem.

Language Typology
Author: Alice Caffarel
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing
ISBN: 9781588115591
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 726
Book Description
This book is intended as a systemic functional contribution to language typology both for those who would like to understand and describe particular languages against the background of generalizations about a wide range of languages and also for those who would like to develop typological accounts that are based on and embody descriptions of the systems of particular languages (rather than isolated constructions). The book is a unique contribution in at least two respects. On the one hand, it is the first book based on systemic functional theory that is specifically concerned with language typology. On the other hand, the book combines the particular with the general in the description of languages: it presents comparable sketches of particular languages while at the same time identifying generalizations based on the languages described here as well as on other languages. The volume explores eight languages, covering seven language families: French, German, Pitjantjatjara, Tagalog, Telugu, Vietnamese, Chinese, and Japanese.

Genetic Algorithms: Principles and Perspectives
Author: Colin R. Reeves
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 0306480506
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
Genetic Algorithms: Principles and Perspectives: A Guide to GA Theory is a survey of some important theoretical contributions, many of which have been proposed and developed in the Foundations of Genetic Algorithms series of workshops. However, this theoretical work is still rather fragmented, and the authors believe that it is the right time to provide the field with a systematic presentation of the current state of theory in the form of a set of theoretical perspectives. The authors do this in the interest of providing students and researchers with a balanced foundational survey of some recent research on GAs. The scope of the book includes chapter-length discussions of Basic Principles, Schema Theory, "No Free Lunch", GAs and Markov Processes, Dynamical Systems Model, Statistical Mechanics Approximations, Predicting GA Performance, Landscapes and Test Problems.
