As the title suggests, this book is about ‘terms’ in ‘context’. In essence, it seeks to demonstrate that corpora can be used for semi-automatic terminography. Metalanguage patterns are a common feature of certain types of specialised text and frequently offer clues to the meanings of the terms to which they refer; this book describes a methodology for retrieving and manipulating these meta language patterns so that they can be used in the formulation of terminological definitions.
An Introduction to Algorithmic Trading: Basic to Advanced Strategies
Interest in algorithmic trading is growing massively – it’s cheaper, faster and better to control than standard trading, it enables you to ‘pre-think’ the market, executing complex math in real time and take the required decisions based on the strategy defined. We are no longer limited by human ‘bandwidth’. The cost alone (estimated at 6 cents per share manual, 1 cent per share algorithmic) is a sufficient driver to power the growth of the industry. According to consultant firm, Aite Group LLC, high frequency trading firms alone account for 73% of all US equity trading volume
The Handbook of Local and Regional Development provides a comprehensive statement and reference point for local and regional development.

Foucault’s Monsters and the Challenge of Law
In contrast to other figures generated within social theory for thinking about outsiders, such as Rene Girard’s ‘scapegoat’ and Zygmunt Bauman’s ‘stranger’, Foucault’s Monsters and the Challenge of Law suggests that the figure of ‘the monster’ offers greater analytical precision and explanatory power in relation to understanding the processes whereby outsiders are constituted.
This book is designed around the assumption that ‘thinking’ is the core competency of the graduate, more specifically, ‘applied critique’. This means an ability to critique contemporary problems systematically and constructively, using multiple stances methodically. This is a core competency, which can later be thoughtfully evolved through experience in the workplace. Applied critique is knowledge that stands the test of time by providing the generic skill to evaluate any particular problem, technique, fad or common- sense solution that comes over the horizon, whether at home, at work or in your community.
