The 47 revised full papers presented together with three invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 204 submissions. This program was completed by a demonstration and poster session, in which researchers had the chance to present their latest results and advances in the form of live demos. In addition, the PhD Symposium program included 10 contributions, selected out of 21 submissions. The core tracks of the research conference were complemented with new tracks focusing on linked data; machine learning; mobile web, sensors and semantic streams; natural language processing and information retrieval; reasoning; semantic data management, big data, and scalability; services, APIs, processes and cloud computing; smart cities, urban and geospatial data; trust and privacy; and vocabularies, schemas, and ontologies.

"The atrocious crime of being a young man...I shall neither attempt to palliate nor deny." --William Pitt the Elder Graphic, caustic, and humorous, The Gentleman Is Blue tells the story of Alex, a wealthy young man struggling with his sexuality at a privileged Catholic high school in Louisiana. Scathing wit and sarcastic jibes cannot conceal the turbulence brewing within this group of students at St. Andrews High. The Gentleman Is Blue is a taste of dark humor served Southern style. Wealth, sexuality, love, discrimination, and fear shape this coming of age tale told in the grand tradition of the Southern novel.

Für den Archäologen Tony ist es der erste große Forschungsauftrag. Eine abenteuerliche Reise durch Indien beginnt. Dass einige Gegenstände Strahlung abgeben, gibt Rätsel auf, doch Tony bekommt Hilfe von Dyani, einer jungen Wissenschaftlerin. Ihm fällt auf, dass alle beteiligten Forscher Kontakte nach Russland pflegen. Als mehrere Artefakte verschwinden, wird er misstrauisch. Welche Rolle spielt seine Partnerin wirklich? Im Alleingang geht Tony einem Mysterium der indischen Mythologie nach, doch seine Recherchen erregen Aufmerksamkeit in dunklen Kreisen.

A regény, a benne előforduló durva lelki és fizikai kegyetlenséget bemutató jelenetek és a szexualitás kendőzetlen leírása miatt, 18 évesnél fiatalabb olvasónak nem ajánlott. Az első részben megismert Alexander Melnyik mikrobiológus, haláltusáját vívja a katonai kórház alagsorában, ahol a „Főgonosz” pribékje, a pszichopata Oleg kínozza. A megbízott időben ér a helyszínre, és egyetlen rúgással végez Oleggel. Alexet sikeresen újraéleszti. A férfi csak akkor ismeri fel meg-mentőjét, amikor az magyarul szól hozzá. A megbízott nem más, mint rég látott szerelme: Lina, a Latorca parti kurtizán, aki tíz éve eltűnt, és közben a Moszad jól képzett ügynöke lett. Ezzel az epizóddal kezdődik a második rész, amiben a jó oldal felkészül a visszavágóra. A „Főgonosz”, Zverev tábornok szerencsecsillaga leáldozóban. Sorra érik a veszteségek és megaláztatások, de a sebzett vad veszélyességét sosem szabad lebecsülni. Hatalma birtokában még sok fájdalmat okoz. A végső csapást azzal a többkomponensű fegyverrel mérik rá, amit az ő elképzelése alapján kísérleteztek ki a titkos szibériai kutatóbázison. ...

Caste, Knowledge, and Power

Autor: Sunandan K. N.

Número de Páginas: 244

Caste, Knowledge, and Power investigates the transformations of caste practices in twentieth century India and the role of knowledge in this transformation and in the continuing of these oppressive practices. The author situates the domination and subordination in the domain of knowledge production in India not just in the emergence of colonial modernity but in the formation of colonial–Brahminical modernity. It engages less with the marginalization of the oppressed castes in the modern institutions of knowledge production which has already been discussed widely in the scholarship. Rather, the author focuses on how the modern colonial–Brahminical concept of knowledge invalidated many other forms of knowing practices and how historically caste domination transformed from the claims of superiority in acharam (ritual hierarchy) to the claims of superiority in possession of knowledge.

A másik Malody lány

Autor: Péntek Kamilla

Número de Páginas: 434

A másik Malody lány a varázslatos angol reneszánsz idején, egy képzeletbeli városban játszódó történelmi kalandregény, tele megoldásra váró rejtélyekkel, szerelemmel, nem várt fordulatokkal. Smallhall olyan hely, ahol mindenkinek vannak titkai és mindenkinek a neve összefüggésbe hozható valamilyen botránnyal. Egy ködös reggelen egy fiatal lány holttestére bukkannak a kisvárosban élők. A helyszínen összesereglők azt suttogják, hogy az egyik Malody lány az áldozat. Hogy megtudjuk, melyikük, illetve hogy valóban így van-e, vissza kell fejtenünk az idő fonalát – ez az időutazás pedig nem akármilyen kalandokkal lepi meg olvasóját. A kötet a Smallhalli mesék második része, amely lazán kapcsolódik az elsőhöz, a Gázlámpához, de önállóan is élvezetes olvasmány. Ez a könyv ugyanis sokkal régebbi időkbe, 1555-be, I. Mária királynő uralkodása idejére repít vissza bennünket.

Wings at Dawn

Autor: Marie Balustrade

Número de Páginas: 249

Wings at Dawn By: Marie Balustrade Writer and photographer, I am a native of the Philippines who grew up and lived in various countries, resulting in photography and writing becoming integral pillars of my soul and, hence, inseparable from my being. The urge to write about what I photograph or match a photograph to my writings are processes that are never far from one another. In the same manner, while on retreat in the mountains of Kodaikanal, India, one year, photography transcended into a form of prayer. When I need to find my center or escape the madness of the world around me, I grab my camera and immerse myself in a world that understands me, and I it. My novels deal with controversial social issues that span the globe. The stories are not meant for the reader to swoon over and fall in love momentarily for a shallow romance. I want the audience to cry with me, to be enraged, be disgusted, and after turning the last page, they should be more vigilant. All my books and stories are supported by extensive travel and research, in addition to firsthand experience, having been a development worker in Asia for over 15 years and seen horrors that few will ever write about. My life...

Available in a first edition print run strictly limited to 4,000 copies, fabric tells the story of one of the most revered clubs in the history of dance music culture. fabric captures the journey of a small group of enthusiasts who, rebelling against the commercialisation of the rave scene, converted a derelict meat store in an unfashionable part of London into a venue that remains a cathedral for undiluted dance music with a global following. Featuring stories about the club's birth, struggles and successes, as well as rare photography and iconic artwork, and an oral history by Joe Muggs featuring over one hundred testimonies from the legendary DJs associated with fabric, this is a celebration of the colossal impact fabric has had on club culture over the last quarter of a century. Above all, it's a story about the misfits and visionaries who made it happen, the curators and resident DJs who have kept it true to its roots, and the experiences of clubbers on the dancefloor.

Hardware and Software Support for Virtualization

Autor: Edouard Bugnion , Jason Nieh , Dan Tsafrir

Número de Páginas: 202

This book focuses on the core question of the necessary architectural support provided by hardware to efficiently run virtual machines, and of the corresponding design of the hypervisors that run them. Virtualization is still possible when the instruction set architecture lacks such support, but the hypervisor remains more complex and must rely on additional techniques. Despite the focus on architectural support in current architectures, some historical perspective is necessary to appropriately frame the problem. The first half of the book provides the historical perspective of the theoretical framework developed four decades ago by Popek and Goldberg. It also describes earlier systems that enabled virtualization despite the lack of architectural support in hardware. As is often the case, theory defines a necessary—but not sufficient—set of features, and modern architectures are the result of the combination of the theoretical framework with insights derived from practical systems. The second half of the book describes state-of-the-art support for virtualization in both x86-64 and ARM processors. This book includes an in-depth description of the CPU, memory, and I/O...
