It is hard to be Miami. It is always hard to break stereotypes and prove the point that you are not just a bunch of extremely expensive skyscrapers, upscale hotels and beach front night clubs of Miami Beach. If you don't want to be disappointed or have a stereotypical aftertaste it is better to explore Miami as all the other big cities. That is why the main character of this book is the city so clear-cut and untravelled at the same time.So, Miami? What can this city offer to anybody who gets there?Endless summer, contemporary and street art, wild and unique nature, a mixture of different cultures and many other things. Come and simple fell in love with this city or at least fell for it a little bit keeping the hope that you will come there again.In this book, I picked up the pictures of not only the most famous touristic places but also the places that in my mind deserved the same amount of attention. I am glad to share my impressions with You. Welcome to the Miami world.

Narrow, medieval paved bystreets, ornate stone bridges, pointed city halls, tempting smell of tasty and full-flavored food, cozy and slightly mysterious spirit of Old Europe - these are the things that make Prague one of the most desirable city to visit and attract hundreds thousands of travelers and tourists. Prague is especially popular among those who is in love. If there was a vote for the most romantic city in the world, Prague would for sure be one of the main choice and maybe even take over its rival Paris. What is so special about the city that helps it to win the hearts of those who comes there even only once.Explore Prague with an author of this book filled with hundreds of unfiltered photographs taken there in Autumn and maybe you will have the same feelings that Prague for you is a city of romance.
Representing Variability

The visual world is full of detail. This Element focuses on this variability in perception, asking how it affects performance in visual tasks and how the variability is represented by human observers. The authors highlight different methods for assessing representations of variability and suggest that understanding visual variability can be elusive when straightforward explicit methods are used, while more implicit methods may be better suited to uncovering such processing. The authors conclude that variability is represented in far more detail than previously thought and that this aspect of perception is vital for understanding the complexity of visual consciousness.

Federalism and Regional Policy in Contemporary Russia
Andrey Starodubtsev
Taylor Francis Ltd

nidottu
How do Russian leaders balance the need to decentralize governance in a socially and politically complex country with the need to guarantee political control of the state? Since the early 2000s Russian federal authorities have arranged a system of political control on regional elites and their leaders, providing a "police control" of special bodies subordinated by the federal center on policy implementation in the regions. Different mechanisms of fiscal federalism and investment policy have been used to ensure regional elites’ loyalty and a politically centralized but administratively decentralized system has been created. Asking clear, direct, and theoretically informed questions about the relationship between federalism, decentralization and authoritarianism, this book explores the political survival of authoritarian leaders, the determinants of policy formulation, and theories of federalism and decentralization, to reach a new understanding of territorial governance in contemporary Russia. As such, it is an important work for students and researchers in Russian studies and regional and federal studies.
This is a problem-oriented introduction to the main ideas, methods, and problems needed to form a basic understanding of the theory of strong interactions. Each section contains solid but concise technical foundations to key concepts of the theory, and the level of rigor is appropriate for readers with a background in physics (rather than mathematics). It begins with a foundational introduction to topics including SU(N) group, hadrons and effective SU(3) symmetric flavor lagrangians, constituent quarks in hadrons, quarks and gluons as fundamental fields. It then discusses Quantum chromodynamics as a gauge field theory, functional integration, and Wilson lines and loops, before moving on to discuss gauge–fixing and Faddeev – Popov ghosts, Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin symmetry, and lattice methods. It concludes with a discussion on the anomalies and the strong CP problem, effective action, chiral perturbation theory, deep inelastic scattering, and derivation and solution of the Dokshitzer - Gribov - Lipatov - Altarelli - Parisi equations.Constructed as a one-term course on strong interactions for advanced students, it will be a useful self-study guide for graduate and PhD students of high energy physics, Quantum Chromodynamics, and the Standard Model.Features Covers both basic introductory topics, in addition to more advanced content. Accompanied by over 200 problems starting from group algebra to the derivation of Migdal-Makeenko equations, Kim - Shifman - Vainshtein - Zakharov axion, and gluon + gluon to Higgs cross section, etc. Solutions are incorporated into the chapters to test understanding.

Exploring the interrelations between generalized metric spaces, lattice-ordered groups, and order statistics, the book contains a new algebraic approach to Signal Processing Theory. It describes mathematical concepts and results important in the development, analysis, and optimization of signal processing algorithms intended for various applications. The book offers a solution of large-scale Signal Processing Theory problems of increasing both signal processing efficiency under prior uncertainty conditions and signal processing rate that is provided by multiplication-free signal processing algorithms based on lattice-ordered group operations.From simple basic relationships to computer simulation, the text covers a wide range of new mathematical techniques essential for understanding the proposed signal processing algorithms developed for solving the following problems: signal parameter and spectral estimation, signal filtering, detection, classification, and resolution; array signal processing; demultiplexing and demodulation in multi-channel communication systems and multi-station networks; wavelet analysis of 1D/ 2D signals. Along with discussing mathematical aspects, each chapter presents examples illustrating operation of signal processing algorithms developed for various applications.The book helps readers understand relations between known classic and obtained results as well as recent research trends in Signal Processing Theory and its applications, providing all necessary mathematical background concerning lattice-ordered groups to prepare readers for independent work in the marked directions including more advanced research and development.
