This landmark collection of illustrated essays explores the vastly underappreciated history of America's other cities -- the great metropolises found south of our borders in Central and South America. Buenos Aires, So Paulo, Mexico City, Caracas, Havana, Santiago, Rio, Tijuana, and Quito are just some of the subjects of this diverse collection. How have desires to create modern societies shaped these cities, leading to both architectural masterworks (by the likes of Luis Barragn, Juan O'Gorman, Lcio Costa, Roberto Burle Marx, Carlos Ral Villanueva, and Lina Bo Bardi) and the most shocking favelas? How have they grappled with concepts of national identity, their colonial history, and the cont...
Global Financial Development Report 2015/2016 focuses on the ability of financial systems to sustainably extend the maturity of financial contracts for private agents. The challenges of extending the maturity structure of finance are often considered to be at the core of effective, sustainable financial development. Sustainably extending long-term finance may contribute to the objectives of higher growth and welfare, shared prosperity and stability in two ways: by reducing rollover risks for borrowers, thereby lengthening the horizon of investments; and by increasing the availability of long-term financial instruments, thereby allowing households to address their lifecycle challenges. The ai...

A comprehensive overview of industrial crystallization, its theory and practice, including recent advances, real world case studies, and worked examples.
Reunimos neste volume treze estudos que concluímos ou foram publicados depois da publicação, em 2018, do anterior Volume V da série «Por um Estado Fiscal Suportável - Estudos de Direito Fiscal». As razões desta publicação, que apresentamos como sexto volume dessa recolha de textos, são as mesmas que estiveram na base dos cinco volumes anteriores. Pois trata-se de estudos dispersos por diferentes publicações cujo objecto se localiza efectivamente no amplo e variado domínio do direito dos impostos, uma vez que neste volume, ao contrário do que sucedeu com um ou outro estudo incluídos em volumes anteriores, todos os estudos que o integram versam sobre direito fiscal, substantivo ou adjectivo.
Eukaryotic cilia are evolutionarily conserved microtubule-based structures that protrude from the cell surface. In vertebrates, multiple motile and primary (immotile) cilia fulfill sensory and motility functions that are critical for embryonic development and the homeostasis of adult tissues. Cilia malfunction has been shown to cause a growing number of diseases presenting phenotypes such as brain and skeletal developmental problems, intellectual disability, blindness, infertility, obesity, and kidney cysts. Despite their clinical relevance, we are still far from fully understanding the basic biology of these multiple cilia types. For example, we do not know the molecular compositions of all...
The two-volume set LNAI 12319 and 12320 constitutes the proceedings of the 9th Brazilian Conference on Intelligent Systems, BRACIS 2020, held in Rio Grande, Brazil, in October 2020. The total of 90 papers presented in these two volumes was carefully reviewed and selected from 228 submissions. The contributions are organized in the following topical section: Part I: Evolutionary computation, metaheuristics, constrains and search, combinatorial and numerical optimization; neural networks, deep learning and computer vision; and text mining and natural language processing. Part II: Agent and multi-agent systems, planning and reinforcement learning; knowledge representation, logic and fuzzy systems; machine learning and data mining; and multidisciplinary artificial and computational intelligence and applications. Due to the Corona pandemic BRACIS 2020 was held as a virtual event.
The purpose of this book is to provide vital information regarding loss and trauma to practicing counselors and therapists. Trauma and loss are pervasive presenting problems, many counselors and therapists possess scant understanding of trauma and loss, and little, if any, attention is paid to trauma or to loss in the graduate training of clinical psychology and counseling psychology students. The book is organized into four sections which cover: an overview of loss and trauma, key conceptual frameworks for understanding loss and trauma, review of several types of events producing trauma and loss, and interventions addressing loss and trauma. A key contribution of the book is the focus on lo...
