Javier, now a fugitive from the law, believes it's wise to keep a low profile for a while. However, a group of stranded Angels has other plans for him. With Demons, Angels, Monsters, and Men all hunting the Gunslinger, he finds himself cornered, outmatched, and devoid of ammunition. Faced with overwhelming odds, he realizes he has only one desperate option left. Additional features include a gallery of covers and artwork from behind the scenes. Collects GUNSLINGER SPAWN #37-42

The Gunslinger learns that a former enemy is still alive and is eager to find out more about his rival's activities. Removing another name from his list, not realizing that the law is closing in on him, he tries to flee from the police, and the roof of his motel falls in and traps him under the rubble. After this incident, he slips into a coma, overwhelmed by memories from his past. Additional features include a gallery of covers and artwork from behind the scenes. Collects GUNSLINGER SPAW...

Part one of BATTLE FOR THE THRONE! Jim Downing and Nyx's attack on Spawn had mixed results, with Nyx controlling half the Dead Zones while Spawn holds the other half. Meanwhile, Spawn and Haunt infiltrate Heaven to find a cure for Haunt's poison, leading them to Heaven's science labs, only to discover Heaven's dubious plans to take the war to Hell. Collects SPAWN #338-343

Gunslinger GOES TO HELL! Instead of seeking revenge, he is asked for help by an unexpected adversary, and accepts the challenge to defeat SINN, an unbeatable man, and gets caught up in the dangerous race for the Throne of Hell, which might offer him a means to return home. In the aftermath of SPAWN #350, danger looms for everyone, and Gunslinger, wounded and fleeing, finds assistance from an unlikely source. Collects GUNSLINGER SPAWN Issues #25-30

Dealing with the aftermath of the savage battle against the new Clown and Dakota, Gunslinger finds himself on the run yet again. Now he must come to terms with his new life in the present day—even as revelations from his past threaten to destroy his future. Collects GUNSLINGER SPAWN #7-12

This book provides comprehensive coverage of neural networks, their evolution, their structure, the problems they can solve, and their applications. The first half of the book looks at theoretical investigations on artificial neural networks and addresses the key architectures that are capable of implementation in various application scenarios. The second half is designed specifically for the production of solutions using artificial neural networks to solve practical problems arising from ...

Artificial neural networks are most suitable for solving problems that are complex, ill-defined, highly nonlinear, of many and different variables, and/or stochastic. Such problems are abundant in medicine, in finance, in security and beyond.This volume covers the basic theory and architecture of the major artificial neural networks. Uniquely, it presents 18 complete case studies of applications of neural networks in various fields, ranging from cell-shape classification to micro-trading i...

MATLAB for Neuroscientists serves as the only complete study manual and teaching resource for MATLAB, the globally accepted standard for scientific computing, in the neurosciences and psychology. This unique introduction can be used to learn the entire empirical and experimental process (including stimulus generation, experimental control, data collection, data analysis, modeling, and more), and the 2nd Edition continues to ensure that a wide variety of computational problems can be addres...

Explore the multidisciplinary nature of complex networks through machine learning techniquesStatistical and Machine Learning Approaches for Network Analysis provides an accessible framework for structurally analyzing graphs by bringing together known and novel approaches on graph classes and graph measures for classification. By providing different approaches based on experimental data, the book uniquely sets itself apart from the current literature by exp...

Computational Intelligence: Synergies of Fuzzy Logic, Neural Networks and Evolutionary Computing presents an introduction to some of the cutting edge technological paradigms under the umbrella of computational intelligence. Computational intelligence schemes are investigated with the development of a suitable framework for fuzzy logic, neural networks and evolutionary computing, neuro-fuzzy systems, evolutionary-fuzzy systems and evolutionary neural systems. Applications to linear...

Providing a broad but in-depth introduction to neural network and machine learning in a statistical framework, this book provides a single, comprehensive resource for study and further research. All the major popular neural network models and statistical learning approaches are covered with examples and exercises in every chapter to develop a practical working understanding of the content.Each of the twenty-five chapters includes state-of-the-art descriptions and important research...

The positive reciprocal pairwise comparison matrix (PCM) is one of the key components which is used to quantify the qualitative and/or intangible attributes into measurable quantities. This book examines six understudied issues of PCM, i.e. consistency test, inconsistent data identification and adjustment, data collection, missing or uncertain data estimation, and sensitivity analysis of rank reversal. The maximum eigenvalue threshold method is proposed as the new consistency index for the...
