Biofuels, Solar and Wind as Renewable Energy Systems
The petroleum age began about 150 years ago. Easily available energy has s- ported major advances in agriculture, industry, transportation, and indeed many diverse activities valued by humans. Now world petroleum and natural gas s- plies have peaked and their supplies will slowly decline over the next 40–50 years until depleted. Although small amounts of petroleum and natural gas will remain underground, it will be energetically and economically impossible to extract. In the United States, coal supplies could be available for as long as 40–50 years, depending on how rapidly coal is utilized as a replacement for petroleum and natural gas. Having been comfortable with the security provided...
Fighting Multidrug Resistance with Herbal Extracts, Essential Oils and Their Components
Leishmaniasis is an infectious disease caused by parasites belonging to the Leishmania genus. This disease has a prevalence that exceeds 12 million, and approximately 350 million individuals are currently residing in areas at risk for contracting the infection. The standard drugs employed in the treatment pose serious side effects for patients. Moreover, some reports suggested that the Leishmania species present different degrees of resistance to conventional drugs, which justifies the ongoing search for novel leishmanicidal molecules. In only a few decades, the available research pertaining to plant-derived leishmanicidal compounds has increased considerably; however, the majority of bioguided studies have only shown antileishmanial activity in vitro, thus ignoring the potential in vivo effects of different classes of plant-derived compounds on Leishmania species. This chapter will discuss the main findings of works published from 2002 to 2012 on purified plant compounds and their leishmanicidal effects in vivo.
Computational Science and Its Applications – ICCSA 2017
The six-volume set LNCS 10404-10409 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications, ICCSA 2017, held in Trieste, Italy, in July 2017. The 313 full papers and 12 short papers included in the 6-volume proceedings set were carefully reviewed and selected from 1052 submissions. Apart from the general tracks, ICCSA 2017 included 43 international workshops in various areas of computational sciences, ranging from computational science technologies to specific areas of computational sciences, such as computer graphics and virtual reality. Furthermore, this year ICCSA 2017 hosted the XIV International Workshop On Quantum Reactive Scattering. The program also featured 3 keynote speeches and 4 tutorials.

Luis Suarez: Crossing the Line - My Story
Luis Suárez was a young boy already in love with football by the time his family moved from the countryside to Uruguay's capital, Montevideo. The guile and trickery of the street kid made an impact with the country's biggest club, Nacional, before he was spotted by Dutch scouts who brought him to Europe. Suárez was lured from Ajax to Merseyside by another iconic number 7, Kenny Dalglish. From that moment, he terrorised Premier League defences, driving a resurgent Liverpool towards their most exciting top-flight season in 24 years. But there is another side to Luis Suárez: the naturally fiery temperament which drives his competitiveness on the pitch. There was the very public incident with...
Cemitério e museu: aproximações eletivas
Cemitério e Museu: aproximações eletivas é uma abordagem livre e circunstancial sobre um tema candente e de forte apelo à imaginação e à sensibilidade. Seus escritos tratam de pontos importantes para a museologia, os estudos cemiteriais, a tanatologia, o patrimônio e a memória. Refletem e estimulam a ponderação sobre outras possibilidades analíticas além daquelas que costumeiramente avultam ao pensamento, quando são examinadas per se ou em relação essas duas instituições culturais, assim como seus objetos e seus naturais desdobramentos. Eles também propiciam aos leitores outra percepção, por analogia, desses lugares: para além da morte. Cemitério e museu são espaços privilegiados à celebração da vida e às encenações de ideias sobre a memória e o patrimônio enquanto dimensões físicas que, diante das infindáveis possibilidades de lidar com o subjetivo, descortinam um caminho enigmático e, por isso mesmo, desafiador.
Adaptive Hypermedia and Adaptive Web-Based Systems
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Conference on Adaptive Hypermedia and Adaptive Web-Based Systems, AH 2004, held in Eindhoven, The Netherlands in August 2004. The 27 revised full papers and 18 revised short papers presented together with 3 abstracts of keynote talks, 4 doctoral consortium presentations, and 17 posters were carefully reviewed and selected from 138 submissions. The papers provide an excellent view on innovative personalization and adaptation functionalities in a variety of areas including e-learning, e-commerce, mobile tourist guides, etc; they also show the integration of personalization functionalities employed in Web environments, in ambient intelligence and intelligent agents contexts, and building upon adaptive hypermedia and semantic Web technologies, Web search, Web services, social and peer-to-peer networks, and recommender systems.
