Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial Optimization

12th European Conference, EvoCOP 2012, Málaga, Spain, April 11-13, 2012, Proceedings

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th European Conference on Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial Optimization, EvoCOP 2012, held in Málaga, Spain, in April 2012, colocated with the Evo* 2012 events EuroGP, EvoBIO, EvoMUSART, and EvoApplications. . The 22 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 48 submissions. The papers present the latest research and discuss current developments and applications in metaheuristics - a paradigm to effectively solve difficult combinatorial optimization problems appearing in various industrial, economic, and scientific domains. Prominent examples of metaheuristics are evolutionary algorithms, simulated annealing, tabu search, scatter search, memetic algorithms, variable neighborhood search, iterated local search, greedy randomized adaptive search procedures, estimation of distribution algorithms, and ant colony optimization.

Dutch Translation in Practice

Dutch Translation in Practice provides an accessible and engaging course in modern Dutch translation. Taking a highly practical approach, it introduces students to the essential concepts of translation studies, heightens their awareness of the problems posed in Dutch translation, and teaches them how to tackle these difficulties successfully. Featured texts have been carefully chosen for their thematic and technical relevance, and a wide range of discursive and grammatical issues are covered throughout. Features include: Nine chapters reflecting different areas of contemporary life and culture in Belgium and the Netherlands such as People and Places, Dutch Language and Culture, Literature, Employment, Finance and Economics, Media and Communications, Art History and Exhibitions, Fashion and Design and the Earth, Energy and the Environment Authentic extracts drawn from up-to-date Dutch texts used throughout to illustrate and practise various topical and translation issues, with many supporting exercises and open translation activities to encourage active engagement with the material, the development of strong translation skills, and vocabulary acquisition Chapters structured to provide progressive learning, moving from an introductory section explaining the context for the texts to be translated to information on translation techniques, detailed close readings and analyses of words, phrases, style, register and tone A strong focus throughout on addressing issues relevant to contemporary Dutch translation, with practical tips offered for translating websites, dealing with names and handling statistics and numbers in translation Attention to language areas of particular difficulty, including translating ‘er’, passive constructions, punctuation, conjunctions and separable verbs Helpful list of grammatical terms, information on useful resources for translators and sample translations of texts available at the back of the book Written by experienced instructors and extensively trialled at University College London, Dutch Translation in Practice will be an essential resource for students on upper-level undergraduate, postgraduate or professional courses in Dutch and Translation Studies.

Introduction: texts and contexts In this chapter we take a look at translating
literature. This is a complex and demanding branch of translation, but one that is
growing in importance. Literary translation is a topic that we can give you only a

Abnormal Psychology, First Canadian Edition with Introduction to the DSM-5

Abnormal Psychology, has long been considered one of the most authoritative and comprehensive texts in its field. It takes a bio-psycho-social approach to abnormal behaviour, and covers the most current and in-depth information about biological influences on the entire spectrum of behavioural abnormalities. It also covers a balance of multicultural studies and phenomena, which offer an integrative view. Extensive case studies of individuals with various disorders appear throughout the book. Some are brief excerpts; others are detailed analyses. These cases bring disorders to life, while reminding students of the human factor that is so intimately a part of the subject matter of this text. The abundance of research discoveries surfacing in the field today has broadened our understanding of psychopathology, improving upon theories and treatments practiced just a decade ago. The goal of this book is, and always has been, to present to students these exciting discoveries and to offer the most thoroughly researched and up-to-date analyses of psychopathology. The Canadian first edition of Abnormal Psychology has been thoroughly updated--hundreds of new references throughout accurately reflect the ever-changing field of abnormal psychology.

The goal of this book is, and always has been, to present to students these exciting discoveries and to offer the most thoroughly researched and up-to-date analyses of psychopathology.
