Book Description
This delightful book shows children the life cycle of trees, showing that trees are a renewable resource as their seeds can be planted to make new trees grow. It also discusses the need to remove sick, flammable and other dangerous trees as well as the various uses for wood from cut trees. All of it is so beautifully illustrated in full color that the lessons come alive for adults and children alike. Ideal for parents, teachers and children. By Roberta Burzynski. Illustrations by Juliette Watts. NA-IN-01-12.

Book Description
Graph algorithms is a well-established subject in mathematics and computer science. Beyond classical application fields, such as approximation, combinatorial optimization, graphics, and operations research, graph algorithms have recently attracted increased attention from computational molecular biology and computational chemistry. Centered around the fundamental issue of graph isomorphism, this text goes beyond classical graph problems of shortest paths, spanning trees, flows in networks, and matchings in bipartite graphs. Advanced algorithmic results and techniques of practical relevance are presented in a coherent and consolidated way. This book introduces graph algorithms on an intuitive basis followed by a detailed exposition in a literate programming style, with correctness proofs as well as worst-case analyses. Furthermore, full C++ implementations of all algorithms presented are given using the LEDA library of efficient data structures and algorithms.

Book Description
These days, almost everyone is familiar with the 'rough guide' travel books that offer maps, advice and tips on the best places to visit when traveling abroad. In many ways you can consider this book in the same vein as these books, but rather than offering advice to backpackers and students on their gap year, this book offers advice for anyone interested in rediscovering and experiencing for themselves the majik, mystery and beauty of the ancestral Heathen traditions of Northern Europe, as expressed through Yggdrasill; the mighty world tree that stands at the very centre of all existence. Just like the rough guidebooks, 'Up And Down The Tree' is about being active, about getting out there, seeing the sights, experiencing things for yourself, making new contacts in new lands and returning home to draw your own conclusions for yourself. Each chapter will in turn introduce you to either a new world or a different aspect of Yggdrasil and the vibrant mythology, folklore and Majikal practices that are specific to that particular realm. Immersing yourself deep within the nine worlds you will breathe life into the ancient stories of Gods, heroes and wondrous beings that populate the myths, sagas, folk and Fairy tales of the North. As you do so , you will come to realise that these are not simply strange fictions from a bygone era, but everlasting truths that offer us a way of seeing and experiencing reality that is as meaningful to us today, as it was for our early ancestors. Your journey through Yggdrasil will be filled with practical Majik of all shapes and forms. Along the way you will learn of Seidr, the mysterious Majik of the 'other', and of Galdr, the ancient Majik of the Runes. You will learn how to traverse the veil between the physical realm of Midgard and the many realms of the nonphysical otherworld and on your travels gain friends, allies and guides within these realms. You will discover how to manifest your intent and will using the Runes. How to sign, sing and empower the Runes, and how to use your own body to carve the Runes into the very fabric of reality itself. You will meet with Gods and Giants, Elves and Dwarves, ancient Ancestors and fantastic beasts of all shapes and forms. You will learn the Elven Majik of glamour and Fascination, how to turn the mind, kindle fire in the emotions, change the past and weave the present according to your own desire. You will learn of Odhroerir, the precious mead of inspiration and the ancient power of the little red ones; the sacred mushroom Amanita Muscaria. All this and much, much more. Packed full of Majikal exercises, rituals and tasks, and illustrated throughout, this new edition of 'Up And Down The Tree' has been totally revamped and organized according to the authors original vision for his book. Accessible to complete beginners and more advanced Majikal practitioners alike, 'Up And Down The Tree' is a book you will return to time and time again and will prove an invaluable guide to anyone intent on traveling the Heathen path and experiencing its Majik and majesty for themselves.

Book Description
Written by an expert in the game industry, Christer Ericson's new book is a comprehensive guide to the components of efficient real-time collision detection systems. The book provides the tools and know-how needed to implement industrial-strength collision detection for the highly detailed dynamic environments of applications such as 3D games, virtual reality applications, and physical simulators. Of the many topics covered, a key focus is on spatial and object partitioning through a wide variety of grids, trees, and sorting methods. The author also presents a large collection of intersection and distance tests for both simple and complex geometric shapes. Sections on vector and matrix algebra provide the background for advanced topics such as Voronoi regions, Minkowski sums, and linear and quadratic programming. Of utmost importance to programmers but rarely discussed in this much detail in other books are the chapters covering numerical and geometric robustness, both essential topics for collision detection systems. Also unique are the chapters discussing how graphics hardware can assist in collision detection computations and on advanced optimization for modern computer architectures. All in all, this comprehensive book will become the industry standard for years to come.

Book Description
Space support in databases poses new challenges in every part of a database management system & the capability of spatial support in the physical layer is considered very important. This has led to the design of spatial access methods to enable the effective & efficient management of spatial objects. R-trees have a simplicity of structure & together with their resemblance to the B-tree, allow developers to incorporate them easily into existing database management systems for the support of spatial query processing. This book provides an extensive survey of the R-tree evolution, studying the applicability of the structure & its variations to efficient query processing, accurate proposed cost models, & implementation issues like concurrency control and parallelism. Written for database researchers, designers & programmers as well as graduate students, this comprehensive monograph will be a welcome addition to the field.

Book Description
This volume contains the papers selected for presentation at the 19th Colloquium on Trees in Algebra and Programming (CAAP '94), which was held jointly with the fifth European Symposium on Programming (ESOP '94) in Edinburgh in April 1994. Originally this colloquium series was devoted to the algebraic and combinatorial properties of trees, and their role in various fields of computer science. Taking into account the evolution of computer science, CAAP '94 focuses on logical, algebraic and combinatorial properties of discrete structures (strings, trees, graphs, etc.); the topics also include applications to computer science provided that algebraic or syntactic methods are involved. The volume contains 21 papers selected from 51 submissions as well as two invited papers.

Book Description
This textbook presents an up-to-date and comprehensive overview of Natural Language Processing (NLP), from basic concepts to core algorithms and key applications. Further, it contains seven step-by-step NLP workshops (total length: 14 hours) offering hands-on practice with essential Python tools like NLTK, spaCy, TensorFlow Kera, Transformer and BERT. The objective of this book is to provide readers with a fundamental grasp of NLP and its core technologies, and to enable them to build their own NLP applications (e.g. Chatbot systems) using Python-based NLP tools. It is both a textbook and NLP tool-book intended for the following readers: undergraduate students from various disciplines who want to learn NLP; lecturers and tutors who want to teach courses or tutorials for undergraduate/graduate students on NLP and related AI topics; and readers with various backgrounds who want to learn NLP, and more importantly, to build workable NLP applications after completing its 14 hours of Python-based workshops.
