While other books focus on special internet registers, like tweets or texting, no previous study describes the full range of everyday registers found on the searchable web. These are the documents that readers encounter every time they do a Google search, from registers like news reports, product reviews, travel blogs, discussion forums, FAQs, etc. Based on analysis of a large, near-random corpus of web documents, this monograph provides comprehensive situational, lexical, and grammatical descriptions of those registers. Beginning with a coding of each document in the corpus, the description identifies the registers that are especially common on the searchable web versus those that are less commonly found. Multi-dimensional analysis is used to describe the overall patterns of linguistic variation among web registers, while the second half of the book provides an in-depth description of each individual register, including analyses of situational contexts and communicative purposes, toge

Statements of resolve - in which leaders indicate that their country is committed to a position and will not back down - are a fixture of international conflict. However, scholars have not agreed on how much these statements affect conflict outcomes or which conditions give them coercive credibility. Statements of Resolve argues that an important and underappreciated factor influencing the impact of resolved statements is the ability to follow through. Roseanne W. McManus explains how adversaries analyze a leader's ability to follow through on statements and shows that perceptions of the ability to follow through are influenced not only by military capabilities but also by less obvious domestic political conditions. Through rigorous statistical tests based on quantitative coding of US presidential statements and case studies of three Cold War conflicts, this book shows that resolved statements can effectively coerce adversaries, but only when a sufficient physical and political ability

William and Elizebeth Friedman were both researchers in cryptography at The Riverbank Laboratories. This 1957 book is the result of an insightful report that won the Friedmans the Folger Shakespeare Library literary prize. Within it, the Friedmans address theories, which, through the identification of hidden codes, call the authorship of Shakespeare's plays into question. As ciphers were abundantly used in the sixteenth century, such coding is far from impossible. Accordingly, this work gives a fair and scientific hearing to those anti-Stratfordians whose theories were often dismissed completely. The Friedmans document the history and foundations of such theories, before thoroughly examining and critiquing a great number of them. Indeed, it has even been suggested that this text itself contains ciphers, making it of even greater interest to scholars of literary codes and cryptography, as well as those wishing to discover more about the various debates surrounding the authorship of Shak

Computer vision is a rapidly growing field which aims to make computers 'see' as effectively as humans. In this book Dr Shapiro presents a new computer vision framework for interpreting time-varying imagery. This is an important task, since movement reveals valuable information about the environment. The fully-automated system operates on long, monocular image sequences containing multiple, independently-moving objects, and demonstrates the practical feasibility of recovering scene structure and motion in a bottom-up fashion. Real and synthetic examples are given throughout, with particular emphasis on image coding applications. Novel theory is derived in the context of the affine camera, a generalisation of the familiar scaled orthographic model. Analysis proceeds by tracking 'corner features' through successive frames and grouping the resulting trajectories into rigid objects using new clustering and outlier rejection techniques. The three-dimensional motion parameters are then compu

★求職/轉職必看！Coding 面試的衝刺總複習★★57 大重點 × 74 道面試題 × 160 個例題，紮實打好基本功★要在程式開發這條路走得夠長、夠遠，資料結構和演算法是公認必修的基本功，透過觀摩、思考各種程式設計的經典問題，不斷演練、改進自己的程式，是提升程式設計功力的不二法門。也許你聽過在 IT 業界打滾多年的老手說：實際 Coding 都沒在管資料結構、演算法，只要功能寫得出來、符合規格，誰管你用甚麼方法，太冷門的寫法反而沒人看得懂。有些 Coding 的工作也許真是如此，先求有再求好，但老手前輩們沒跟你說的是…，在獲得工作前，求職面試這關就要先考考你對資料結構或演算法的理解程度，好評斷你的程式功力。有不少網站大量蒐集各種程式設計的考題，供使用者反覆演練、自我挑戰，俗稱為「刷題」。這些題目往往是從經典的資料結構或演算法問題衍生而來，若沒有對相關的邏輯推導細節有足夠的了解，只是一昧的刷刷刷，恐怕效果有限、事倍功半。作者在資訊科系任教超過30年，資料結構衍生著作累積銷量超過10萬冊，擁有非常豐富程式設計的教學和寫作經驗，也在業界當過開發工程師與資訊主管，深知業界求才的需求與標準。因此本書在規劃之初，除了務求透過豐富實作和圖解，來傳達資料結構與演算法的基礎，更嘗試將時下工程師求職必備的刷題需求，也融入各章節主題之中，系統化的打好程式設計的基礎與實力，也能同時掌握未來求職要面對的考題型式，及早準備、做好因應，才不會臨到關頭，沒發揮實力被刷掉。本書收錄了陣列、串列、樹狀結構、圖、搜尋樹等常見的資料結構，解題過程也介紹了動態規劃、貪婪法等必要的演算法概念，除了觀念解說，同時會搭配圖表、日常生活案例，以及範例、面試題、延伸題型、練習題等總計 234 個題目，盡可能增進讀者實際演練的經驗，絕對比自己在網路上摸索、東拼西湊、盲刷題目來得更有效率，是一本兼顧理論與實作，與時俱進、不可多得的入門教材。本書特色: 刷題前必備的基本功！幫你打好基礎，高效提升程式設計功力○ 涵蓋最主要的資料結構與常見演算法，包括：- 遞迴設計/迴圈設計- 時間複雜度與漸進符號- 陣列和動態規劃法- 鏈結串列- 堆疊與佇列- 圖形結構/最短路徑/工作網路- 前序/中序/後序走訪- 展開樹/二元樹/AVL樹/B 樹- 氣泡/選擇/插入等基本排序法- 快速/合併/基數/堆積等進階排序法- 循序

一手泡奶、一手coding！工程師媽媽已上線！喜愛寫作，對數理有興趣，更享受解決問題的快感！寫Code之餘不忘寫文章，當媽之餘還當了工程師！她橫跨半個地球，涉足理科文科，掌握育兒空檔，自學coding，從文藝少女進擊為矽谷軟體工程師！各界名人，進擊推薦！│小劉醫師│外科作家│尼可│作家／《你Ker這樣說》Podcast主持人│半路出家軟體工程師在矽谷││矽谷阿雅│矽谷創業家／前臉書產品經理│矽谷美味人妻KT│美味生活執行長│周品均│唯品風尚集團執行長│邱懷萱│AnchorTaiwan創辦人│徐豫（御姊愛）│知名作家│路怡珍│中英雙語主播│劉冠吟│小日子雜誌社長（按姓氏筆畫排列）舒適圈厚不厚，就看勇氣決心夠不夠！如果是你，你會選哪一條路？1.從西語環境轉為中文環境。別說國字，連注音都沒見過2.從土木工程跳到小說創作。什麼背景都沒有，只是愛寫作、愛閱讀3.從技術寫作員轉行成軟體工程師。毫無基礎，從零學coding這三條路都不好走，但Vanessa試著去走，一次她毫無選擇，兩次是她心甘情願！縱使她感到格格不入、縱使她也膽戰心驚、縱使她初為人母、家有嫩嬰要照顧，但她就是走下去了！在「突破舒適圈」這項挑戰下，她成功達陣！出生於波多黎各、懷抱文藝夢想的Vanessa，在理科土木工程及文科小說寫作都取得碩士後，進入特斯拉汽車工廠擔任技術寫作員，而在女兒一歲半時，她靠著自學coding成功轉職，成為矽谷軟體工程師。面對跨國、跨科系、跨文化、跨身分的各項進擊，她是如何從家有嫩嬰、每晚要起來餵奶兩次、上班要抽空擠奶的媽媽下定決心轉行成為軟體工程師？又是如何在有「文人剋星」之稱的矽谷中堅持著她的文藝夢？如何抱持勇氣撞擊舒適圈並且無悔地向前邁進？Vanessa曾經是一個喜歡做夢、喜歡書本、喜歡創作的文藝女子，嚮往著當作家。生完孩子後，她以為她會再也沒有時間學習、無法兼顧事業與家庭，甚至沒辦法做夢！沒想到孩子的成長刺激了她的求知慾，使她重新檢視自己的人生，因此她反而用更少的時間完成了更多事情。這是一本關於轉變的書。我們時常被既有的身分、被現實困住，認為人生要「重新開始」很難，但我們其實都渴望「重新定義」自我。隨著一次次的轉變契機，一次次的脫胎換骨，蛻變的痛苦讓Vanessa意識到──每個人都有巨大的潛能，每一天都是我們未來人生的嶄新開章。只要願意，我們都能打破自我，也打破自己被這個社會賦予的
