 Benjamin Barton, "Political Trust and the Politics of Security Engagement: China and the European Union in Africa " English | ISBN: 1138917389 | 2017 | 212 pages | EPUB | 1146 KB The EU and China are often characterised as parties whose bilateral political differences still remain too large to bridge, so that they have failed to convert rhetorical promises into tangible results of cooperation, particularly with regards to the field of international security. Yet in terms of their bilateral interaction on security risk management in Africa; EU and Chinese naval officers jointly brought down the number of successful Somali pirate attacks in the Gulf of Aden and to a lesser extent were jointly involved in seeking a resolution to the lingering conflict in Darfur.  Joseph Luna, "Political Financing in Developing Countries: A Case from Ghana " English | ISBN: 036742956X | 2019 | 114 pages | EPUB | 1155 KB This book argues that to fully grasp the decision-making of politicians and political actors in developing countries, we must first understand how politicians finance their campaigns for office―and to whom they are indebted and expected to repay.  Plant Breeding in the Omics Era by Rodomiro Ortiz Ríos English | PDF | 2015 | 250 Pages | ISBN : 3319205315 | 2.5 MB This book provides analysis of plant breeding and its role for producing high-yielding cultivars that increase farming profitability and sustainability. This work analyzes the past and present of plant breeding, while providing research that investigates the future of crop improvement. Plant breeding today, as it was before, depends on crop biodiversity and its sustainable use, which can be further facilitated by advances in omics and bioinformatics. It starts with assessing plant genetic resources (wild species, landraces, obsolete cultivars, genetic stocks) variation aiming to enhance the cultigen pool. Research on genetics-aided by current omic tools- should lead to designing a knowledge-based plant breeding, which could bring further genetic gains in the breeding pools. Plant breeding, however, will increasingly require pursuing a holistic interdisciplinary approach based on integrated system-oriented thinking.  Gr Tsetskhladze, "Phrygia in Antiquity: From the Bronze Age to the Byzantine Period: Proceedings of an International Conference 'the Phrygian Lands Over Time: From ... 2nd-8th November, 2015" English | 2019 | pages: 825 | ISBN: 9042937386 | PDF | 29,5 mb This volume publishes 33 papers from the international conference 'The Phrygian Lands over Time: From Prehistory to the Middle of the First Millennium AD', held at Anadolu University in Eskisehir in November 2015. It is arranged in two parts - 'From Midas to Christianity' and 'From Region to Sites' - plus an Introduction. The first part is more general, opening with six papers that touch on various aspects of Midas, moving on through the Achaemenid to Byzantine periods, linguistics, onomastics and epigraphy, borders, pottery and architecture, etc. the second part focuses on individual regions and sites (such as Aizanoi, Bogazkoy, Kerkenes, Dorylaion, Midas City, Pessinus, etc.) from the Early Bronze Age to the Roman Period, including ethnic composition, the cult of Cybele and recent results. The Introduction examines recent scholarship on Phrygia and the problems we face.

 Mary Savig, "Pen to Paper: Artists' Handwritten Letters from the Smithsonian's Archives of American Art" English | 2016 | ISBN: 1616894628 | PDF | pages: 210 | 107.5 mb Even in this age of emails, texts, and tweets, there is an ongoing fascination with the simple act of putting pen to paper. Associations such as the International Association of Master Penmen and the Society for Italic Handwriting keep the traditions of calligraphy and penmanship alive, hand-writing typefaces continue to sell, and hand-drawn display type and packaging of all sorts enjoy a renaissance.  Kenneth Omeje, "Peacebuilding in Contemporary Africa: In Search of Alternative Strategies " English | ISBN: 1138492027 | 2018 | 226 pages | EPUB | 1155 KB Peacebuilding in Contemporary Africa explores the challenges and opportunities faced by countries and societies transitioning from armed conflicts to peace in contemporary Africa. It evaluates the effectiveness, outcomes and failures of existing peacebuilding initiatives implemented by stakeholders, and proposes new strategies and approaches to facilitate the transition. The book investigates both micro- and macro-level conflicts in various parts of Africa, as well as the efforts made to resolve them and build peace. The book pays particular attention to grassroots-based micro-level conflicts often disregarded in peacebuilding literature, which tends to focus on macro-level, neo-liberal state reconstruction and peacebuilding efforts.  Parallel Algorithms for Optimal Control of Large Scale Linear Systems by Zoran Gajić, Xuemin Shen English | PDF | 1993 | 462 Pages | ISBN : 1447132211 | 29.1 MB Parallel Algorithms for Optimal Control of Large Scale Linear Systems is a comprehensive presentation for both linear and bilinear systems. The parallel algorithms presented in this book are applicable to a wider class of practical systems than those served by traditional methods for large scale singularly perturbed and weakly coupled systems based on the power-series expansion methods. It is intended for scientists and advance graduate students in electrical engineering and computer science who deal with parallel algorithms and control systems, especially large scale systems. The material presented is both comprehensive and unique.  Parallel Algorithms for Irregular Problems: State of the Art by Afonso Ferreira, José D. P. Rolim English | PDF | 1995 | 338 Pages | ISBN : 1441947477 | 17.7 MB Efficient parallel solutions have been found to many problems. Some of them can be obtained automatically from sequential programs, using compilers. However, there is a large class of problems - irregular problems - that lack efficient solutions. IRREGULAR 94 - a workshop and summer school organized in Geneva - addressed the problems associated with the derivation of efficient solutions to irregular problems.
