Ukraine’s tumultuous history has left it standing on unstable ground, wrought with the devastation of the 20th century’s wars, famines, and other struggles. Today, life in Ukraine is moving forward, stepping out of the shadows of Communism and into a modern, urban, and multicultural light, finally gaining for itself a sense of national identity. Now a cultural hotspot that serves as a crossroads between Europe and Asia, Ukraine’s traditions of yesterday are evolving into today’s daily life and customs. High school and undergraduate students will have the opportunity to

The book presents an interdisciplinary approach to knowledge representation and the treatment of semantic phenomena of natural language, which is positioned between artificial intelligence, computational linguistics, and cognitive psychology. The proposed method is based on Multilayered Extended Semantic Networks (MultiNets), which can be used for theoretical investigations into the semantics of natural language, for cognitive modeling, for describing lexical entries in a computational lexicon, and for natural language processing (NLP). Part I deals with fundamental problems of semantic knowle

"With its companion volume, this book effectively provides descriptions and evaluations of award-winning American fiction for children over the last 125 years. The compilers provide clear, insightful, and critical evaluations. Despite its title, the bibliography lists fiction for both children and young adults. . . . These two volumes, likely to become reference mainstays, are recommended for academic libraries that support children’s and young adult literature or teacher education, and for public libraries and media centers." Choice "This volume is a fine addition to the reference works

Recent advances have suggested the significant benefits associated with neuroprotection—that is, when treatment strategies are directed to photoreceptors, retinal ganglion cells, or other neural targets. Enter Ocular Neuroprotection, the only handbook of research methods in neuroprotection of ocular disease covering both laboratory and clinical levels, to aid researchers studying the prevention of neuronal death from these and other hard-to-treat ophthalmic disorders.
