Manifestos pela educação
A presente coletânea objetiva discutir a Educação Básica pública e de qualidade em uma perspectiva crítica à luz das Humanidades e Linguagens, enquanto áreas do conhecimento, na contemporaneidade, especialmente, a partir da virada para o século XXI. Nesse contexto, busca dar ênfase ao cenário político atual, as Políticas (ou falta delas!) Públicas relativas, notadamente, ao Governo Federal e sua relação com os demais entes da Federação.
Harmony Search Algorithm
The Harmony Search Algorithm (HSA) is one of the most well-known techniques in the field of soft computing, an important paradigm in the science and engineering community. This volume, the proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Harmony Search Algorithm 2015 (ICHSA 2015), brings together contributions describing the latest developments in the field of soft computing with a special focus on HSA techniques. It includes coverage of new methods that have potentially immense application in various fields. Contributed articles cover aspects of the following topics related to the Harmony Search Algorithm: analytical studies; improved, hybrid and multi-objective variants; parameter tuning...
Modelling and Control of Mechatronic and Robotic Systems
Currently, the modelling and control of mechatronic and robotic systems is an open and challenging field of investigation in both industry and academia. The book encompasses the kinematic and dynamic modelling, analysis, design, and control of mechatronic and robotic systems, with the scope of improving their performance, as well as simulating and testing novel devices and control architectures. A broad range of disciplines and topics are included, such as robotic manipulation, mobile systems, cable-driven robots, wearable and rehabilitation devices, variable stiffness safety-oriented mechanisms, optimization of robot performance, and energy-saving systems.
Tribological Behavior of Functional Surface
Material loss due to wear and corrosion and high resistance to motion generate high costs. Therefore, minimizing friction and wear is a problem of great importance. This book is focused on the tribological behavior of functional surfaces. It contains information regarding the improvement of tribological properties of sliding elements via changes in surface topography. Tribological impacts of surface texturing depending on the creation of dimples on co-acting surfaces are also discussed. The effects of various coatings on the minimization of friction and wear and corrosion resistance are also studied. Friction can be also reduced by introducing a new oil.
Advances in Air Quality Monitoring and Assessment
"Advances in Air Quality Monitoring and Assessment" provides an overview of recent advances in environmental monitoring and assessment, which includes the design, development and application of advanced monitoring systems based on cutting-edge scientific knowledge. The chapters of the book highlight two thematic areas of AQ monitoring that researchers currently focus on: (i) the improvement of AQ monitoring methods and (ii) use of the AQ data in order to better assess the impact of air pollution on the environment and health.
The Brain And The Voice In Speech and Song

As Mott's enlightening exploration unfolds, prepare to be captivated by the complex interplay between neuroscience and the performing arts. From the neural pathways involved in speech production to the physiological mechanisms of vocalization, each chapter offers a deeper understanding of the human voice and its connection to the brain. But here's the intriguing question that will pique your cu...
European Evidence Warrant
The transnational gathering and use of criminal evidence is a complex and sensitive matter that affects basic principles inherent in national criminal justice systems. Replacing the mutual assistance regime (letters rogatory) by a mutual recognition regime intends to facilitate the admissibility of evidence obtained from the territory of another Member State. How much harmonization of criminal procedure is needed to guarantee the free movement of criminal evidence in the EU? Do we have to develop common procedural safeguards in the EU, or can we build in human rights clauses or procedural public order clauses by which respect for fundamental rights can be a ground for the non-recognition, no...
Micro-Nano Surface Functionalization of Materials and Thin Films for Optical Applications
This book contains the articles collected for the Special Issue entitled "Micro-nano Surface Functionalization of Materials and Thin Films for Optical Applications" in the journal Coatings (ISSN 2079-6412).

The aim was to cover all relevant aspects of the topic (simulation, design, fabrication, characterization and applications) with a special emphasis on nonconventional methods for surface modification of materials, combinations of mature fabrication routes with emer...
Synthesis, Chracterization and Applications of Coated Composite Materials for Energy Applications
The formulation of coated composite materials is an important field of research around the world today. Coated composite materials include inhomogeneous and anisotropic materials. These materials are formulated by an amalgamate minimum of two or more materials that accommodate different properties. These materials have a vast field of appealing applications that encourage scientists to work on them. Due to their unique properties, such as their strength, liability, swiftness, and low cost, they are used as promising candidates for reliable applications in various fields, such as biomedical, engineering, energy devices, wastewater treatment, and agriculture. Different types of composite materials have had a noticeable impact in these fields already, such as glass, plastic, and, most promisingly, metal oxide nanoparticles.
Coatings Imparting Multifunctional Properties to Materials
Coatings are traditionally used to protect materials from corrosion and erosion and improve the equipment's performance. At present, there are coatings that provide materials with new properties, for example, biocidal, hydrophobic and self-cleaning properties. A promising area of materials science is the development of "smart" coatings that simultaneously give materials several new properties. The coating propertiess are determined by the coatings' material, the structure and the properties of the substrate surface, and the methods of forming the coatings. This book contains the results of the latest research on the formation of coatings that impart complexes of new properties to various materials.
