FOREST: THE ADIRONDACKS --1. The Re-creation of Nature --2. Public Property and Private Parks --3. Working-Class Wilderness --PART II. MOUNTAIN: YELLOWSTONE --4. Nature and Nation --5. Fort Yellowstone --6. Modes of Poaching and Production --PART III. DESERT: THE GRAND CANYON --7. The Havasupai Problem --8. Farewell Song --Epilogue: Landscapes of Memory and Myth --Chronology of American ConservationCrimes against Nature reveals the hidden history behind three of the nation's first parklands: the Adirondacks, Yellowstone, and the Grand Canyon. Focusing on conservation's impact on local inhabitants, Karl Jacoby traces the effect of criminalizing such traditional practices as hunting, fishing, foraging, and timber cutting in the newly created parks. Jacoby reassesses the nature of these ""crimes"" and provides a rich portrait of rural people and their relationship with the natural world in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.National parks and reservesSocial aspectsUnited StatesNature conservationSocial aspectsUnited StatesNational parks and reservesUnited StatesHistoryElectronic books.National parks and reservesSocial aspectsNature conservationSocial aspectsNational parks and reservesHistory.333.78/0973333.780333.780973Jacoby Karl1965-1016452MiAaPQBOOK996248110803316Crimes against nature2378369UNISA04669nam 2200589 450 991046463740332120200520144314.0(CKB)3710000000058215(EBL)3115824(SSID)ssj0001162408(PQKBManifestationID)11627714(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001162408(PQKBWorkID)11154222(PQKB)11790830(MiAaPQ)EBC3115824(Au-PeEL)EBL3115824(CaPaEBR)ebr10781883(OCoLC)922966171(EXLCZ)99371000000005821520131104d2007 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtccrLearning causal models of multivariate systems and the value of it for the performance modeling of computer programs /by Jan LemeireBrussels, Belgium :Vrije Universiteit Brussel,2007.©20071 online resource (240 p.)"Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree of Doctor in de ingenieurswetenschappen (Doctor in Engineering)."90-5487-457-0 Includes bibliographical references.""Contents""; ""Introduction""; ""I Causal Inference""; ""Principles of Inductive Inference""; ""Classical Information Theory""; ""Maximum Entropy Principle""; ""Kernel Density Estimation""; ""Occam's Razor""; ""Kolmogorov Complexity""; ""Definition""; ""Minimum Description Length""; ""Kolmogorov Minimal Sufficient Statistic""; ""Regularities as Meaningful Information""; ""Typicality""; ""Sufficient Statistics""; ""Algorithmic Sufficient Statistics""; ""Conclusions of Chapter""; ""Graphical Causal Models""; ""Independencies""; ""Correlation""""Qualitative Property and Qualitative Reasoning""""The Occurrence of Independencies""; ""Graphoid Properties""; ""Markov networks""; ""Bayesian Networks""; ""Representation of Distributions""; ""Representation of Independencies""; ""Graphical Causal Models""; ""Defining Causality: The Shadow's Cause""; ""Interventions""; ""Causally Interpreted Bayesian Networks""; ""Invalidity of the Markov Network Representation""; ""Causal Structure Learning Algorithms""; ""The PC Algorithm""; ""Assumptions""; ""Complexity""; ""Summary of Chapter""""The Meaningful Information of Probability Distributions""""Minimal Description of Distributions""; ""Compression of Distributions""; ""Minimality of Causal Models""; ""Correspondence of Causal Component to Decomposition""; ""A Distributed d-separation Algorithm""; ""Reductionism""; ""Validity of Causal Inference""; ""Faithfulness""; ""Summary of Chapter""; ""Information Equivalence""; ""Related Work""; ""Information equivalences""; ""Definition""; ""Equivalent Partition""; ""Assumptions""; ""Properties of Information Equivalences""; ""Augmented Bayesian Network""""The Complexity Criterion""""Complexity of Relations""; ""The Increase of Complexity""; ""Faithfulness""; ""Conditional Independence and Simplicity""; ""Deq-separation""; ""Faithfulness Revisited""; ""Constraint-based Learning Algorithms""; ""Equivalence Detection""; ""Equivalence selection""; ""Experiments""; ""Summary of Chapter""; ""II Performance Modeling""; ""Performance Analysis of Parallel Processing""; ""Parallel Performance Metrics""; ""Lost Cycle Approach""; ""Overhead Ratios""; ""Overhead Classification""; ""Granularity""; ""Parameter Dependence""; ""Tool""; ""EPPA""""EPPA Measurement Overhead""""Related Performance Analysis Tools""; ""Summary of Chapter""; ""Qualitative Multivariate Analysis""; ""EPDA""; ""Visualization Facilities""; ""Statistical Technologies""; ""Outlier Detection""; ""Probability Table Compression""; ""Sequential Experiment Probing""; ""Loading Parallel Performance Data""; ""The Modeling Process""; ""Causal Structure Learning""; ""Pearson Correlation Coefficient""; ""Information-Theoretic Dependence""; ""Independence Test Calibration""; ""Summary of Chapter""; ""Causal Inference for Performance Analysis""; ""Utility""""Support of the Modeling Process""AlgorithmsMultivariate analysisComputer programsElectronic books.Algorithms.Multivariate analysisComputer programs.511.8Lemeire Jan947165MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464637403321Learning causal models of multivariate systems2140123UNINA
