Fresh from the success of Korean Food Made Simple, chef Judy Joo is back with a brand new collection of recipes that celebrate the joys of Korean comfort food and get straight to the heart and soul of the kitchen."This book is a beauty – full of heart-warming food for the adventurous eater." - Michel Roux Jr.Drawing on her own heritage and international experience, Judy presents recipes that appeal to everyone, from street food to snacks and sharing plates, kimchi to Ko-Mex fusion food, and dumplings to desserts. Through clear, easy-to-understand recipes and gorgeous photography, Judy will help you master the basics before putting her signature fun, unexpected twist on the classics, including Philly Cheesesteak dumplings and a full English–inspired Bibimbap bowl.With over 100 recipes, helpful glossaries and tips on how to stock the perfect Korean store cupboard, there's something for amateur chefs and accomplished home cooks alike. So much more than rice and fried chicken, these truly unique recipes are simple, delicious and will have everyone clamouring for more."I love Korean food, and to all those that think that it’s just about kimchi…think again! Judy is a master in the kitchen, her passion and straightforward, easy recipes are inspirational and delicious. From the classics through to street food, and some very clever fusion cooking, this book is a beauty – full of heart-warming food for the adventurous eater." - Michel Roux Jr.

"Computer Systems and Software Engineering" is a compilation of 16 state-of-the-art lectures and keynote speeches given at the COMP-EURO '92 conference. The contributions are from researchers, each of whom gives insight into subjects ranging from hardware design through parallelism to computer applications. The book covers the following subjects: hardware design - memory technology, logic design, algorithms and architecture; parallel processing - programming, cellular neural networks and load balancing; and software engineering - machine learning, logic programming and program correctness. There is also information on visualization, the graphical computer interface.

This volume deals with two new types of neurons: multi-valued neurons and universal binary neurons. These neurons are based on complex number arithmetic and are hence much more powerful than the typical neurons used in artificial neural networks. Therefore, networks with such neurons exhibit a broad functionality. They can not only realize threshold input/output maps but can also implement any arbitrary Boolean function. Two learning methods are presented whereby these networks can be trained easily. The broad applicability of these networks is proven by several case studies in different fields of application: image processing, edge detection, image enhancement, super resolution, pattern recognition, face recognition, and prediction. The book is hence partitioned into three almost equally sized parts: a mathematical study of the unique features of these new neurons, learning of networks of such neurons, and application of such neural networks. Most of this work was developed by the first two authors over a period of more than 10 years and was only available in the Russian literature.

Topics contained in this text on nonlinear modelling include: neural nets and related model structures for nonlinear system identification; enhanced multi-stream Kalman filter training for recurrent networks; the support vector method of function estimation; parametric density estimation for the classification of acoustic feature vectors in speech recognition; wavelet-based modelling of nonlinear systems; nonlinear identification based on fuzzy models; statistical learning in control and matrix theory; and nonlinear time-series analysis. It also contains the results of the K.U. Leuven time series prediction competition, held within the framework of an international workshop at the K.U. Leuven, Belgium in July 1998.

The Policy Research Corporation N.V. carried out a Caribbean SWOT analysis. Two sectors were examined: container shipping and cruising. Included in the study was a comprehensive scan of the competitive position of Caribbean ports with respect to the main container trade routes or cruise loops within the region. The main analyses, findings and conclusions of this study are brought together here. The conclusions presented in the book are largely based on information gathered during fact-finding missions in the wider Caribbean region. During these missions several interviews with key players were conducted, including port authorities, terminal-operating companies, shipping and forwarding agents.

Artificial neural networks possess several properties that make them particularly attractive for applications to modelling and control of complex non-linear systems. Among these properties are their universal approximation ability, their parallel network structure and the availability of on- and off-line learning methods for the interconnection weights. However, dynamic models that contain neural network architectures might be highly non-linear and difficult to analyze as a result. This work investigates the subject from a system theoretical point of view. However the mathematical theory that is required from the reader is limited to matrix calculus, basic analysis, differential equations and basic linear system theory. No preliminary knowledge of neural networks is explicitly required. The book presents both classical and novel network architectures and learning algorithms for modelling and control. Topics include non-linear system identification, neural optimal control, top-down model based neural control design and stability analysis of neural control systems.A major contribution of this book is to introduce NLq Theory as an extension towards modern control theory, in order to analyze and synthesize non-linear systems that contain linear together with static non-linear operators that satisfy a sector condition: neural state space control systems are an example. Moreover, it turns out that NLq Theory is unifying with respect to many problems arising in neural networks, systems and control.

This is explicitly not a mathematics book, but a book about the crucial role that mathematics plays in devising the creative solutions the world needs. The questions are divided into three categories: mathematics in everyday life, mathematics for the workplace, and mathematics for tomorrow's society.
