LaTeX is a system for typesetting documents. It was originally created by Leslie Lamport and is now maintained by a group of volunteers. It is widely used, particularly for complex and technical documents, such as those involving mathematics. This manual is a paper version of the "Unofficial LaTeX Reference Manual" covering all basic topics on LaTeX.

This book constitutes the refereed post-proceedings of the 9th European Performance Engineering Workshop, EPEW 2012, held in Munich, Germany, and the 28th UK Performance Engineering Workshop, UKPEW 2012, held in Edinburgh, UK, in July 2012. The 15 regular papers and one poster presentation paper presented together with 2 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers cover a wide range of topics from classical performance modeling areas such as wireless network protocols and parallel execution of scientific codes to hot topics such as energy-aware computing to unexpected ventures into ranking professional tennis players. In addition to new case studies, the papers also present new techniques for dealing with the modeling challenges brought about by the increasing complexity and scale of systems today.

A feature is a small modification or extension of a system which can be seen as having a self-contained functional role, such as Call Forwarding, Automatic Call back and Voice Mail in telephone services, to which users can subscribe. Feature interaction happens when one feature modifies or subverts the operation of another, and this problem has received a great deal of attention from industry and academics, especially in the field of telecommunications, where new services are constantly being developed and deployed. This volume contains refereed papers resulting from the ESPRIT FIREworks working group. The papers focus on the language constructs which have been developed describing features, and advocate a feature-oriented approach to software design including requirements specification languages and verifications logics.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Conference on Computational Methods in Systems Biology, CMSB 2007, held in Edinburgh, Scotland, September 2007. The 16 revised full papers presented present a variety of techniques from computer science, such as language design, concurrency theory, software engineering, and formal methods, for biologists, physicists, and mathematicians interested in the systems-level understanding of cellular processes.

Provides a comprehensive, critical, and case-focused introduction to family law. Hayes & Williams' Family Law helps students to gain a firm understanding of family law principles, the developing law, and key reform debates.

Hayes & Williams' Family Law

Rebecca Probert

Jonathan Herring

This textbook is an ambitious and engaging introduction to the more advanced writings on family law, primarily designed to allow students to 'get under the skin' of the topic and begin to build their critical thinking and analysis skills. Each chapter is structured around key questions and debates that provoke deeper thought and, ultimately, a clearer understanding. The aim of the book is therefore not to present a complete overview of theoretical issues in family law, but rather to illustrate the current debates which are currently going on among those working in shaping the area. The text features summaries of the views of notable experts on key topics and each chapter ends with a list of guided further reading.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Joint Workshop on Process Algebra and Performance Modeling and Probabilistic Methods in Verification, PAPM-PROBMIV 2001, held in Aachen, Germany in September 2001. The 12 revised full papers presented together with one invited paper were carefully reviewed and selected from 23 submissions. Among the topics addressed are model representation, model checking, probabilistic systems analysis, refinement, Markov chains, random variables, stochastic timed systems, Max-Plus algebra, process algebra, system modeling, and the Mobius modeling framework.

There are a number of important (landmark) cases in the development of Family Law in England and Wales that deserve detailed examination and lend themselves particularly well to historical examination. Family law cases tend to raise highly controversial issues, often on striking facts, frequently provoking wider social debate and/or extensive publicity. Consequently, the landmark cases chosen for this collection provide considerable scope, not only for doctrinal analysis and explanation of the importance and impact of the decisions, but also for in-depth examination of the social or policy developments that influenced them. The stories behind the cases provide a fascinating insight into the complexities of family life and the drama that can be found in the family courts. In recent years, Family Law has seen enormous changes in law's engagement with the notion of 'family', with the enactment, for example, of the Civil Partnership Act 2004, the Gender Recognition Act 2004 and, more recently, the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 2008. As we begin to move forward into the new millennium, this is an excellent time to engage in detailed analyses and 'stock-taking' of the landmark decisions, many of which were decided in the 1970s, and which have shaped modern Family Law. This book provides a series of in-depth studies of the key leading cases, and will be of interest to students and lecturers alike.

Children: The Modern Law is well-established as the leading textbook dealing comprehensively with the law and policy relating to children. This fourth edition has been extensively revised and updated to take account of significant legislative, case-law and other developments including: * Greater recognition being given to social parents, especially same-sex parents, and the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 2008 * The Family Justice Review 2011 and the Government Response 2012 * Birth registration and the Welfare Reform Act 2009 * Leading authorities in public law on uncertain perpetrators * The Narey Report on adoption and case-law on post-adoption contact * The important decision in K v K on relocation in shared care cases Children: The Modern Law is an authoritative study of the legal position of children in our society, and is essential reading for students of child law, family law and social work.

An engaging introduction to the more advanced writings on family law, designed to provide the additional insights necessary to excel in the study of the subject.

This book collects the latest research developments in the use of functional programming languages. The contents highlight major research goals and engineering concerns in the subject

Trends in Functional Programming Volume 4

Fourteen papers from the 1999 Stirling Workshop highlight major research goals and engineering concerns in the field. These include: making profitable use of modern parallel architectures, designing and defining modern type systems, performance comparisons between different functional languages, and applying functional programming languages. Specific chapters discuss cloning in a fuzzy language, transformation and optimization, genetic algorithms, GpH and Eden, parallel heuristics search in Haskell, operational semantics, graph- reduction semantics, CAMLFLOW, quilting, and type inference for MLj.

Hayes & Williams' Family Law provides comprehensive, critical, and case-focused discussion of the key legislation and debates affecting adults and children. Cases are at the heart of family law and this textbook offers copious case detail, with comprehensive summaries throughout the text to ensure students understand the development of family law through the courts. Alongside expert analysis and critique of the current law, the text also includes socio-legal perspectives to help students contextualize their understanding. Discussion questions at the end of each chapter allow students the opportunity to reflect and apply their knowledge and offer the ideal preparation for exams and assessments. The text also includes a range of further features to support students studying the subject for the first time, including legislation extracts, contextual chapter introductions, and further reading advice, alongside a clear and engaging writing style. ONLINE RESOURCE CENTRE The text is accompanied by an online resource centre including: Multiple choice questions to test knowledge A flashcard glossary of key terms Further reading suggestions for each chapter
