![]() Key Issues for Mountain Areas By Libor F. Jansky; Martin F. Price 2004 | 288 Pages | ISBN: 9280811029 | PDF | 3 MB Mountain areas cover a quarter of the Earth's land surface, with 26 percent of the global population living in them or very close by. Mountain people and mountain environments are particularly threatened by global environmental change and economic and political forces. A disproportionate number of conflicts occur in mountain regions, and their inhabitants include many of the poorest and most vulnerable in the world. How can we preserve fragile mountain ecosystems that provide critical goods and services, while improving the conditions of those who live there? This book explores these issues, with particular emphasis on appropriate institutions and policies for sustainable mountain development. The book includes information from the Bishkek Global Mountain Summit, the concluding global event of the International Year of Mountains 2002. ![]() Kernel Based Algorithms for Mining Huge Data Sets: Supervised, Semi-supervised, and Unsupervised Learning by Te-Ming Huang , Vojislav Kecman , Ivica Kopriva English | PDF(True) | 2006 | 266 Pages | ISBN : 3540316817 | 5.2 MB "Kernel Based Algorithms for Mining Huge Data Sets" is the first book treating the fields of supervised, semi-supervised and unsupervised machine learning collectively. The book presents both the theory and the algorithms for mining huge data sets by using support vector machines (SVMs) in an iterative way. It demonstrates how kernel based SVMs can be used for dimensionality reduction (feature elimination) and shows the similarities and differences between the two most popular unsupervised techniques, the principal component analysis (PCA) and the independent component analysis (ICA). The book presents various examples, software, algorithmic solutions enabling the reader to develop their own codes for solving the problems. ![]() Kawaii Doggies by Yong, Olive; English | 2023 | ISBN: 0760379858 | 144 pages | True EPUB | 7.94 MB ![]() Kalimba Songbook, Christmas Songs: Big Music Book, 18 Easy-to-play Songs for Beginners In C, (10 and 17 Key) by Peter Music Publishing English | 2021 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B09MMHQ5JF | 43 pages | PDF | 3.55 Mb Have you ever wanted to learn beautiful carols for kalimba? ![]() KALI LINUX TOOLS: REVEALED A STEP BY STEP GUIDE TO LEARN WIRELESS PENETRATION TECHINQUES AND BASICS OF PENETRATION TESTING, INCLUDES COMMAND LINE AND HACKING WITH KALI LINUX FOR BEGINNERS. by RANDY GIBSON English | 2021 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B09N9S5N5R | 175 pages | EPUB | 0.27 Mb This reasonable, instructional exercise style book utilizes the Kali Linux circulation to show Linux essentials with an attention on how programmers would utilize them.

Despite their benefits, these clauses can be inconvenient for parties that are forced to litigate before distant fora. Moreover, particular problems arise in the context of maritime transport documents. Based on a broad comparative approach, this study seeks to explain the existing rules within their legal context and to develop a coherent system for such clauses, which takes into account the underlying interests as well as economic theory. While offering detailed answers to most issues surrounding jurisdiction and arbitration clauses in maritime transport documents, the book confronts the fundamental question of the limits of freedom of contract in an international setting. ![]() Stewart Lawrence Sinclair, "Juggling " English | ISBN: 1478019603 | 2023 | 152 pages | PDF | 4 MB In Juggling, Stewart Lawrence Sinclair explores the four-thousand-year history and practice of juggling as seen through his life as a juggler. Sinclair-who learned to juggle as a child and paid his way through college by busking-shares his experiences of taking up juggling after an episode of suicidal ideation, his time juggling on the streets, and ultimately finding comfort in juggling during the COVID-19 pandemic. In many ways, this is a book about loss and recovery. From his own juggling story to clowns braving military checkpoints in Bosnia and Rwanda to perform in refugee camps to contemporary avant-garde performances, Sinclair shows how the universal language of juggling provides joy as well as a respite from difficulties during hard times. ![]() Omolola Ijeoma Ogunyemi,"Jollof Rice and Other Revolutions" English | 2022 | ISBN: 139870606X, 1398706051 | 256 pages | EPUB | 2.8 MB Nonso, Remi, Aisha, and Solape forge an unbreakable bond at a Nigerian boarding school, where we meet them for the first time in the middle of a riot.

This exercise system is simple yet potent and involves the manipulation of a lightweight pole traditionally made of bamboo. Jiangan co-ordinates slow diaphragmatic breathing with graduated stretching and strengthening exercises to promote circulation and stimulate the cardiovascular system. This book offers a concise practical guide to Jiangan exercises, providing detailed instructions and illustrations while also exploring the Chinese philosophy behind the art. Although a gentle and meditative form of exercise, this book shows that Jiangan has the muscle-toning and weight-loss potential of more robust gym workouts and is an ideal daily exercise routine or warm-up for a range of sports and martial arts classes. This book will be a valuable resource for teachers and students of Tai Chi and Qigong, as well as anyone looking for a simple and effective way to improve health and fitness using Eastern health arts. |
