En octubre de 2.019 se celebró, en Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, la Conferencia Internacional sobre los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible, la Conferencia Internacional “UNMAP 2019”. Durante cuatro días se trataron los grandes bloques de desarrollo de los ODS: Alianzas para lograr los objetivos. Las Personas. La Prosperidad. El Planeta. La Paz. La Conferencia Internacional “UNMAP 2019” fue exitosa debido a la calidad de los ponentes, todos ellos sobresalientes y referentes en su área de trabajo; a la implicación de los patrocinadores, a la acogida de los asistentes, a la repercusión mediática que tuvo el evento, su difusión, antes, durante y después del mismo, llegando, en las ...

The topics covered in this book range from modeling and programming languages and environments, via approaches for design and verification, to issues of ethics and regulation. In terms of techniques, there are results on model-based engineering, product lines, mission specification, component-based development, simulation, testing, and proof. Applications range from manufacturing to service robots, to autonomous vehicles, and even robots than evolve in the real world. A final chapter summarizes issues on ethics and regulation based on discussions from a panel of experts. The origin of this book is a two-day event, entitled RoboSoft, that took place in November 2019, in London. Organized with...
Insect and disease issues are often specific to the Mediterranean forest systems rather than shared with the temperate forests. In addition to the specific native insects and diseases, the forests are subject to the invasion of exotic species. The forests are also at risk from high degrees of human activity, including changing patterns of forest fires, land management activities, intensive plantation forestry using introduced timber species from other Mediterranean climate zones, and atmospheric deposition. Combined with elements of global climate change that may disproportionately affect Mediterranean climate systems, this creates a number of significant management issues that are unique to the Mediterranean forests. It is our goal that the information contained in this volume will contribute to understanding the unique aspects of Mediterranean forest systems and to protecting these critical resources.
The latest advances in cancer research include basic research and its derived diagnostic, clinical and therapeutic applications. The book New Trends in Cancer for the 21st Century is written by individuals such as: molecular biologists whose tasks are, after sequencing the human genome, to decipher those new genes and pathways involved in the carcinogenesis process; clinical and molecular pathologists, who apply these discoveries for the molecular diagnosis and characterization of the tumour; and clinical oncologists, who treat patients. Pharmacogenetics introduces new perspectives in the translational fields with the design of drugs against specific targets, which are in clinical trials phases in 2003. Several organizations such as the EORTC (European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer) and the OECI (Organization of European Cancer Institutes) and comprehensive cancer centres play a crucial role in focusing cancer research on all these areas.
Professor George Patrick Leonard Walker was one of the fathers of modern quantitative volcanology and arguably the foremost volcanologist of the twentieth century. In his long career, George studied a wide spectrum of volcanological problems and in doing so influenced almost every branch of the field. This volume, which honours his memory and his contributions to the field of volcanology, contains a collection of papers inspired by, and building upon, many of the ideas previously developed by George. Many of the contributors either directly studied under and worked with George, or were profoundly influenced by his ideas. The topics broadly fall under the three themes of lava flows and effusion, explosive volcanism, and volcanoes and their infrastructure.
Biography and overview of the work of Fernando Menis (1943), one of the leading architects in Spain. The core of Menis' architectural work is based on repeating the best of the past, re-creating situations that have worked before. His method is grounded in the need to re-utilize resources of nature and the landscape, culture and history, according to each project and place.
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Practical Applications of Agents and Multi-Agent Systems, PAAMS 2021, held in Salamanca, Spain, in October 2021. The 27 regular and 13 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 56 submissions. They deal with the application and validation of agent-based models, methods, and technologies in a number of key applications areas, including: advanced models and learning, agent-based programming, decision-making, education and social interactions, formal and theoretic models, health and safety, mobility and the city, swarms and task allocation.
