The volcanic island of Iceland is a unique geological place due both to its position in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and its repeated glaciations. It has been an accurate recorder of geodynamic and regional climatic evolutions for at least the last 15 million years.<br /><br />This book traces the history of Iceland, which is linked to the opening of the North Atlantic and the reactivation of the ancient suture of the Iapetus Ocean. It gives a view of climate evolution that is partly controlled by the dynamics of the ocean floor and analyzes the movement of the Jan Mayen tectonic plate and the progressive insularization of the Greenland–Faroe Ridge, which gave birth to Iceland. It also tries to understand the formation and migration of the deep Iceland hotspot and the lava flows that have, for millions of years, shaped this island.<br /><br />This book brings together the internal and external geodynamics of our planet to understand how Iceland functions and its role as a recorder of the paleoclimatic evolution of the Northern Hemisphere.
Machine Learning Approaches for Convergence of IoT and Blockchain
The digital revolution is characterized by the convergence of technologies, rapidly advancing the 4th industrial revolution thereby blurring the lines between physical, digital and biological objects. The speed of the fourth revolution which evolves at an exponential rate cannot by any means be compared with any previous technologies. AI and IoT employ the interactions and operations in various fields such as home appliances, autonomous vehicles, nanotechnology, robotics, cognitive systems, self-driving cars and wearable devices. The potential of blockchain technology is realized in many sectors as security plays a crucial role everywhere. This book deeply discusses two of the most critical emerging fields of machine learning: blockchain technology and the Internet of Things.

Журналисты о русском языке
Выход в свет книги «Журналисты о русском языке» – важное событие в современной жизни как журналистов, так и ученых-лингвистов, а также всех, кому небезразлична судьба современного русского языка. Это издание, которое готовилось в течение нескольких лет силами студентов и преподавателей факультета журналистики МГУ имени М. В. Ломоносова, уникально, так как оно включает в себя материал, который еще никогда и нигде не был опубликован. Книга состоит из двух частей: в первой приводятся ответы журналистов и руководителей СМИ на вопросы о русском языке, во второй – высказывания преподавателей и студентов факультета журналистики о состоянии современного русского языка. Использование в СМИ жаргонизмов, заимствованных слов, терминов и профессионализмов, появление на страницах иных изданий и в эфире ненормативной лексики – вот проблемы, которые появляются в ежедневной медийной практике. Журналисты приводят и примеры многочисленных нарушений языковых норм. Составители книги задают важный вопрос: можно ли повысить речевую культуру журналистов и общества в целом? Книга будет интересна как широкому читателю, любящему русскую речь и болеющему о судьбе русского языка, так и ученым, студентам лингвистических факультетов, профессионально изучающим русский язык.
