Passive acoustic monitoring is increasingly used by the scientific community to study, survey and census marine mammals, especially cetaceans, many of which are easier to hear than to see. PAM is also used to support efforts to mitigate potential negative effects of human activities such as ship traffic, military and civilian sonar and offshore exploration. Walter Zimmer provides an integrated approach to PAM, combining physical principles, discussion of technical tools and application-oriented concepts of operations. Additionally, relevant information and tools necessary to assess existing and future PAM systems are presented, with Matlab code used to generate figures and results so readers can reproduce data and modify code to analyse the impact of changes. This allows the principles to be studied whilst discovering potential difficulties and side effects. Aimed at graduate students and researchers, the book provides all information and tools necessary to gain a comprehensive understanding of this interdisciplinary subject.
Decision support systems (DSS) are widely touted for their effectiveness in aiding decision making, particularly across a wide and diverse range of industries including healthcare, business, and engineering applications. The concepts, principles, and theories of enhanced decision making are essential points of research as well as the exact methods, tools, and technologies being implemented in these industries. From both a standpoint of DSS interfaces, namely the design and development of these technologies, along with the implementations, including experiences and utilization of these tools, one can get a better sense of how exactly DSS has changed the face of decision making and management ...
A valuable resource for the latest research on rodents, highlighting links across palaeontology, developmental biology, functional morphology, phylogenetics and biomechanics.
Nico, Henrique e Sara vêm, a convite do primo Tomás, passar as férias de Natal ao Entroncamento. Tomás, segurança no Museu dos Comboios, convida-os a visitarem o espaço no dia seguinte. E assim fazem. Já avisado da rebeldia dos três, não acredita quando os jovens lhe dizem ter ouvido que algo de muito estranho se irá passar naquela noite. As crianças acabam por sair às escondidas de casa e infiltram-se no museu. O que não contavam era presenciar um assalto ao maior tesouro ferroviário português.
O livro "A mediação na regularização fundiária como instrumento de gestão pública para o alcance das moradias sustentáveis" aborda, de forma abrangente e embasada, a resolução de conflitos fundiários visando à construção de cidades mais sustentáveis. Diante do crescimento desordenado das cidades e da ausência de políticas públicas eficientes na área habitacional, surgem consequências como a pobreza e o aumento das ocupações irregulares. Os assentamentos informais são uma preocupação central na Agenda 2030 da ONU. O livro explora como a mediação pode ser uma ferramenta eficaz para resolver disputas relacionadas a questões fundiárias, contribuindo assim para o dese...

Coffee is one of the most popular drinks in the world but how does the production influence chemistry and quality? This book covers coffee production, quality and chemistry from the plant to the cup. Written by an international collection of contributors in the field who concentrate on coffee research, it is edited expertly to ensure quality of content, consistency and organization across the chapters. Aimed at advanced undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers and accompanied by a sister volume covering how health is influenced by the consumption of coffee, these titles provide an impactful and accessible guide to the current research in the field.
The Oxford Handbook of the Social Science of Poverty builds a common scholarly ground in the study of poverty by bringing together an international, inter-disciplinary group of scholars to provide their perspectives on the issue. Contributors engage in discussions about the leading theories and conceptual debates regarding poverty, the most salient topics in poverty research, and the far-reaching consequences of poverty on the individual and societal level.
About Trees considers our relationship with language, landscape, perception, and memory in the Anthropocene. The book includes texts and artwork by a stellar line up of contributors including Jorge Luis Borges, Andrea Bowers, Ursula K. Le Guin, Ada Lovelace and dozens of others.
