This book features 15 chapters based on the Numerical and Evolutionary Optimization (NEO 2017) workshop, held from September 27 to 29 in the city of Tijuana, Mexico. The event gathered researchers from two complimentary fields to discuss the theory, development and application of state-of-the-art techniques to address search and optimization problems. The lively event included 7 invited talks and 64 regular talks covering a wide range of topics, from evolutionary computer vision and machine learning with evolutionary computation, to set oriented numeric and steepest descent techniques. Including research submitted by the NEO community, the book provides informative and stimulating material for future research in the field.

El periodismo de marcas es para unos pocos. Da lo mismo si se trata de enormes marcas multinacionales o de pequeñas denominaciones muy especializadas o muy locales. Es para una selectísima minoría y, además, es periodismo puro y duro.Hoy, con el descrédito de la publicidad, la desintermediación de la información, el desengaño tecnológico y la pérdida de la ingenuidad de las audiencias, se ha creado el escenario perfecto para desarrollar un periodismo que pretende una influenci todopoderosa.Este tratado actualiza los modos de este periodismo, abordando su sustrato teórico. Discrimina el contenido de marca de la acción periodística. Desmiente la antitética conceptual de periodismo y marca en una misma expresión. Y desvela, desde la experiencia, cómo fundar la redacción de marca, diseñar la línea editorial y ejercerlo cotidianamente.La marca que lo use se cotizará más. Y la corporación que evolucione con él logrará unos resultados económicos aún mejores.

A philosophical picture book from one of China's most celebrated children's authors and 2016 Hans Christian Andersen Award-winner Cao Wenxuan. A feather is blown across the sky, meeting various birds along the way, and asking each one, "Do I belong to you?". Cao Wenxuan tells the story of a single feather who is swept away on a journey of discovery and belonging. Encountering a variety of birds, from a kingfisher to a magpie, Feather is hopeful of meeting the bird she belongs to. Again and again, she is dismissed or ignored. Only when she sees that there is also beauty in being close to the earth does fate offer a reunion... Feather is sure to charm young children with a plot at once compelling, meditative, and quietly moving. Roger Mello’s stunningly beautiful, dynamic illustrations will delight readers of all ages.
