Esta obra tem por base a 1ª Conferência de Energias Renováveis para o Ensino de Engenharia, realizada pela Faculdade de Engenharia e pelo Centro de Estudos de Energia e Sustentabilidade da Fundação Armando Alvarez Pentenado FAAP em outubro de 2009, com o objetivo de promover o debate, fomentar o conhecimento tecnológico e apoiar a inovação no uso e no potencial das energias renováveis. Nas palavras do Professor José Goldemberg, "energias renováveis representam hoje apenas 13% do consumo mundial de energia; combustíveis fósseis 80% e energia nuclear 7%. Carvão, petróleo e gás foram a base energética do desenvolvimento tecnológico do século XX mas criaram os problemas com os quais nos defrontamos hoje: exaustão das reservas, problemas geopolíticos e poluição. Energias renováveis não criam esses problemas e estão crescendo, no seu conjunto, mas rapidamente do que o consumo de combustíveis fósseis: elas são a energia do futuro". Especialistas brasileiros nos respectivos assuntos discutem neste livro temas como biomassa, energia fotovoltaica, pequenas centrais hidroelétricas, energia eólica, energia solar térmica e uso energético de hidrogênio.

"Communication for Development is a multidisciplinary area of study and work that is based on two-way models of communication, going beyond diffusion and dissemination of information. Its functions range from engaging stakeholders in problem analysis and risk assessment to supporting behavior and social change. The experiences recounted here are drawn from the various sessions of the Congress and emphasize the value of using Communication for Development to engage stakeholders in a professional and systematic manner for more effective and sustainable project design and implementation."--BOOK JACKET.
The move to manage medicine from a financial perspective, i.e. managed care, has added huge layers of bureaucratic and administrative functions to healthcare. The need to have the ability to track patient medical records, mandated by government legislation such as HIPAA, is bringing new technologies and processes into the healthcare arena. A univer

This volume brings together papers detailing the latest advances in the field of predictive microbiology in foods presented at the 10th International Conference on Predictive Modelling in Food, held in Córdoba, Spain, in 2016. Predictive microbiology is a scientific area providing mathematical models to predict microbial behaviour in the food environment, providing valuable tools for food risk managers, food scientists and the food industry as a whole. The book introduces the reader to the most used and recognized modelling techniques for food, providing a thorough overview of this discipline and establishing the basis for future investigations. It is presented as a compendium of several high-quality research studies developed across the world, representing a unique contribution to the field as it shows recent discoveries and new trends of modelling in food and risk assessment. The most innovative methods, such as the use of genomic information for risk assessment and the application of quantitative risk assessment technology for foodborne pathogenic microorganisms, are also included here.
