Most definitely not a private investigator detective beat cop sidekick or girlfriend of any of the above Emma Jones nonetheless has an alarming penchant for close encounters of the corpse kind. This time she finds peace activist Laguna Butterfield pierced with a protest placard - three days after Emma s landlady Magda threatened to kill her. Whether she is infiltrating the anti-war Lime-O group to track down Laguna s killer consulting at a recently devoured - er acquired - candy company or surfing in shark-infested waters Emma faces the angry and aggrieved at every turn. Even her ipo (sweetie) Keoni is aggressively advocating for Hawaiian sovereignty. Sometimes saving a friend from a truly heinous orange jumpsuit requires becoming a fashion victim yourself. Emma prays that wearing lime green is the worst that happens - this time around.

How do rebel groups decide how to recruit members? To answer this question Obayashi classifies recruitment techniques of rebel groups into two types coercion and inducement and develops a theory of rebel recruitment that simultaneously addresses agency problems inside rebel groups and the rebel-state contest over information. Important themes such as desertion counterinsurgency strategies including amnesties and civil war termination are also examined to further understand the dynamics of rebellion and violent disorder. The theory is applied to examine the changes in conflicts involving the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam in Sri Lanka and the Lord s Resistance Army in Uganda.

The preferred method of data analysis of quantitative experiments is the method of least squares. Often however the full power of the method is overlooked and very few books deal with these techniques at the level of detail that the subject deserves. This book fills that gap and includes the type of information required to help scientists and engineers apply the method to the problems of interest in their special field.

Recent years have been characterized by tremendous advances in quantum information and communication both theoretically and experimentally. In addition mathematical methods of quantum information and quantum probability have begun spreading to other areas of research beyond physics. One exciting new possibility involves applying these methods to information science and computer science (without direct relation to the problems of creation of quantum computers). The aim of this Special Volume is to encourage scientists especially the new generation (master and PhD students) working in computer science and related mathematical fields to explore novel possibilities based on the mathematical formalisms of quantum information and probability. The contributing authors who hail from various countries combine extensive quantum methods expertise with real-world experience in application of these methods to computer science. The problems consideredchiefly concern quantum information-probability based modeling in the following areas: information foraging; interactive quantum information access; deep convolutional neural networks; decision making; quantum dynamics; open quantum systems; and theory of contextual probability. The book offers young scientists (students PhD postdocs) an essential introduction to applying the mathematical apparatus of quantum theory to computer science information retrieval and information processes.
