The Very Hungry Caterpillar

Poisson Point Processes provides an overview of non-homogeneous and multidimensional Poisson point processes and their numerous applications. Readers will find constructive mathematical tools and applications ranging from emission and transmission computed tomography to multiple target tracking and distributed sensor detection, written from an engineering perspective. A valuable discussion of the basic properties of finite random sets is included. Maximum likelihood estimation techniques are discussed for several parametric forms of the intensity function, including Gaussian sums, together with their Cramer-Rao bounds. These methods are then used to investigate:-Several medical imaging techniques, including positron emission tomography (PET), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), and transmission tomography (CT scans)-Various multi-target and multi-sensor tracking applications,-Practical applications in areas like distributed sensing and detection, -Related finite point processes such as marked processes, hard core processes, cluster processes, and doubly stochastic processes, Perfect for researchers, engineers and graduate students working in electrical engineering and computer science, Poisson Point Processes will prove to be an extremely valuable volume for those seeking insight into the nature of these processes and their diverse applications.;https://c5-static.dodax.com/de-ch/dp/R3MFU1P0V8U-9914c068db-64-64-1;https://c5-static.dodax.com/de-ch/dp/R3MFU1P0V8U-cc42c03d8d-175-175-1;https://c5-static.dodax.com/de-ch/dp/R3MFU1P0V8U-9f17d924daed1b-570-420-1;9781441969224;9781441969224;0;152.05;1;pc;11;;;;1 P97R8JU5DHO;Prisoner Reentry;118.75;https://www.dodax.ch/de-ch/dp/P97R8JU5DHO/;Bücher, Hörbücher & Kalender / Bücher / Sachbuch / Recht / Strafrecht;This book addresses the core issues in prisoner reentry into society after incarceration. The chapters are written by academic scholars who have much experience researching and writing about prisoner reentry and by people who work in the field of prison reentry. Comprising reviews of empirical literature, this study is also supplemented by the workings of a reentry agency in the state of California. The focus of the work is to provide the best practices within prisoner reentry programs, to explore the barriers experienced by both prisoners and reentry agencies as they work toward the reentry of prisoners, and to discuss critical issues associated with prisoner reentry. The authors broach various topics regarding life after imprisonment, such as: the financial burden, problems faced by sex offenders, changing family dynamics and employment. An engaging and thought-provoking study, this book will be of particular interest to scholars of criminology theory, the justice system and sociology.;https://c5-static.dodax.com/de-ch/dp/P97R8JU5DHO-9914c068db-64-64-1;https://c5-static.dodax.com/de-ch/dp/P97R8JU5DHO-cc42c03d8d-175-175-1;https://c5-static.dodax.com/de-ch/dp/P97R8JU5DHO-9f17d924daed1b-570-420-1;9781137579287;9781137579287;0;118.75;1;pc;11;;;;1 RI9FNE33J8N;An Introduction to the Entertainment Industry;44.00;https://www.dodax.ch/de-ch/dp/RI9FNE33J8N/;Bücher, Hörbücher & Kalender / Bücher / Sachbuch / Film / Fotografie & Film;Entertainment is big business.

Machine learning methods are usually based on the assumption that the data generation mechanism does not change over time. Yet real-world applications of machine learning, including image recognition, natural language processing, speech recognition, robot control, and bioinformatics, often violate this common assumption. Dealing with non-stationarity is one of modern machine learnings greatest challenges. This book focuses on a specific non-stationary environment known as covariate shift, in which the distributions of inputs (queries) change but the conditional distribution of outputs (answers) is unchanged, and presents machine learning theory, algorithms, and applications to overcome this variety of non-stationarity.;https://c5-static.dodax.com/de-ch/dp/3ADA5DJ89J9-9914c068db-64-64-1;https://c5-static.dodax.com/de-ch/dp/3ADA5DJ89J9-cc42c03d8d-175-175-1;https://c5-static.dodax.com/de-ch/dp/3ADA5DJ89J9-9f17d924daed1b-570-420-1;9780262017091;9780262017091;0;41.40;1;pc;11;;;;1 VMG3G7T7F71;Like Andy Warhol;44.40;https://www.dodax.ch/de-ch/dp/VMG3G7T7F71/;Bücher, Hörbücher & Kalender / Bücher / Sachbuch / Architektur, Kunst & Mode / Kunst / Bildende Kunst;;https://c5-static.dodax.com/de-ch/dp/VMG3G7T7F71-9914c068db-64-64-1;https://c5-static.dodax.com/de-ch/dp/VMG3G7T7F71-cc42c03d8d-175-175-1;https://c5-static.dodax.com/de-ch/dp/VMG3G7T7F71-9f17d924daed1b-570-420-1;9780226505572;9780226505572;0;44.40;1;pc;11;;;;1 1TBSFU5JM2E;Daily Mail Pitcherwits - Volume 3;14.55;https://www.dodax.ch/de-ch/dp/1TBSFU5JM2E/;Bücher, Hörbücher & Kalender / Bücher / Sachbuch / Hobby & Freizeit / Spielen & Raten;Professor Rebus is back with a third volume in this best-selling series of perplexing pictogram puzzles.

Bernanke was appointed chair of the Federal Reserve, the unexpected apex of a personal journey from small-town South Carolina to prestigious academic appointments and finally public service in Washington's halls of power.There would be no time to celebrate.The bursting of a housing bubble in 2007 exposed the hidden vulnerabilities of the global financial system, bringing it to the brink of meltdown. From the implosion of the investment bank Bear Stearns to the unprecedented bailout of insurance giant AIG, efforts to arrest the financial contagion consumed Bernanke and his team at the Fed. Around the clock, they fought the crisis with every tool at their disposal to keep the United States and world economies afloat.Working with two U.S. presidents, and under fire from a fractious Congress and a public incensed by behavior on Wall Street, the Fed - alongside colleagues in the Treasury Department - successfully stabilized a teetering financial system. With creativity and decisiveness, they prevented an economic collapse of unimaginable scale and went on to craft the unorthodox programs that would help revive the U.S. economy and become the model for other countries.Rich with detail of the decision-making process in Washington and indelible portraits of the major players, The Courage to Act recounts and explains the worst financial crisis and economic slump in America since the Great Depression, providing an insider's account of the policy response.;https://c5-static.dodax.com/de-ch/dp/117BK4OD01J-9914c068db-64-64-1;https://c5-static.dodax.com/de-ch/dp/117BK4OD01J-cc42c03d8d-175-175-1;https://c5-static.dodax.com/de-ch/dp/117BK4OD01J-9f17d924daed1b-570-420-1;9780393247213;9780393247213;0;33.85;1;pc;11;;;;1 3E4NPFAIS3P;Navarro's Promise;13.85;https://www.dodax.ch/de-ch/dp/3E4NPFAIS3P/;Bücher, Hörbücher & Kalender / Bücher / Belletristik / Fantasy & Science-Fiction;The breed guaranteed Mica no harm would come to her, but they never allowed for her sensual fascination with Navarro, or his unstoppable need to claim her as his mate, in both body and soul.Watch a Video;https://c5-static.dodax.com/de-ch/dp/3E4NPFAIS3P-9914c068db-64-64-1;https://c5-static.dodax.com/de-ch/dp/3E4NPFAIS3P-cc42c03d8d-175-175-1;https://c5-static.dodax.com/de-ch/dp/3E4NPFAIS3P-9f17d924daed1b-570-420-1;9780425239780;9780425239780;0;13.85;1;pc;11;;;;1 1EV54O19BIO;The Very Hungry Caterpillar;14.80;https://www.dodax.ch/de-ch/dp/1EV54O19BIO/;Bücher, Hörbücher & Kalender / Bücher / Kinderbücher / Bilderbücher / Pappbilderbücher;In the light of the moon a little egg lay on a leaf."The Very Hungry Caterpillar is a classic children's story - the essential first book for babies.In this 2018 edition, Eric Carle's artwork has been restored to its original bright, bold colours.The Very Hungry Caterpillar has sold over 45 million copies worldwide.
