Catalytic Transformations of Sustainable and Versatile Furanic Chemicals
Diminishing confined fossil resources has spurred the scientific community to strive for alternative, sustainable resources, such as terrestrial biomass, which can potentially substitute fossil-based derivatives. Lignocellulosic biomass is deemed an indispensable carbon source for meeting industrial and social demands regarding energy/fuels and chemicals. Over the past decade, significant advances have been shown in developing a broad spectrum of high-value chemicals and functional materials derived from biomass-based substrates. In connection with this, furanic chemicals, such as 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and furfural, have recently received considerable attention due to their potential...
Strongmen Saviours
This book is an introduction to right-wing populist movements outside the West, looking at four key case studies, their commonalities and differences. Populism has been on the rise worldwide since the global financial crisis of 2008, with few countries left entirely untouched by the phenomenon. At the same time, the specific circumstances of different countries vary considerably; and it is important that in seeking to understand these movements, we do not assume they are all the same – albeit that they have some characteristics in common. This book takes the case studies of India, Turkey, Russia and Brazil in turn, examining how they have each taken quite distinct journeys to similar destinations. It offers both a better understanding of each country’s slide towards ‘strongman’ authoritarianism and an analysis of the common elements shared between them. This book is an essential introduction to the rise of populism outside the West for students of international political economy and comparative politics.
Jatropha, Challenges for a New Energy Crop
Jatropha curcas, or physic nut, is a small tree that, in tropical climates, produces fruits with seeds containing ~38% oil. The physic nut has the potential to be highly productive and is amenable to subculture in vitro and to genetic modification. It also displays remarkable diversity and is relatively easy to cross hybridize within the genus. Thanks to these promising features, J. curcas is emerging as a promising oil crop and is gaining commercial interest among the biofuel research communities. However, as a crop, physic nut has been an economic flop since 2012, because the species was not fully domesticated and the average productivity was less than 2 t/ha, which is below the threshold ...
Felicidade & Política
A obra de Hannah Arendt se torna cada dia mais atual e importante quando vemos temas como democracia, liberdade e participação política se tornarem objeto central de debate no mundo, ao mesmo tempo que arriscam perecer diante da retórica, da atomização do indivíduo e da propaganda. Este livro se concentra em apenas um dos aspectos do vasto campo de estudo dessa filósofa: a felicidade pública. A ideia de felicidade está culturalmente relacionada aos prazeres da vida privada, ou seja, da privacidade, mas Arendt demonstra como o conceito de felicidade pública e participação política remonta a Aristóteles, ressurgindo nas Revoluções Americana e Francesa do século XVIII, e de qu...
Technological Innovation for Collective Awareness Systems
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th IFIP WG 5.5/SOCOLNET Doctoral Conference on Computing, Electrical and Industrial Systems, DoCEIS 2014, held in Costa de Caparica, Portugal, in April 2014. The 68 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. They cover a wide spectrum of topics ranging from collaborative enterprise networks to microelectronics. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: collaborative networks; computational systems; self-organizing manufacturing systems; monitoring and supervision systems; advances in manufacturing; human-computer interfaces; robotics and mechatronics, Petri nets; multi-energy systems; monitoring and control in energy; modelling and simulation in energy; optimization issues in energy; operation issues in energy; power conversion; telecommunications; electronics: design; electronics: RF applications; and electronics: devices.
Against All Tyranny!
Emigration was one of the great dreams of 19th century European workers, and Brazil was just one of the 'New Worlds' which took, and showed them that the promise such lands promised was easily broken. But the anarchist dream of freedom and revolution came with them, and workers - Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Russian and Brazilian - fought to make it a reality. And it was not only rampant capitalism they had to fight, but also state-worshippers, both Left and Right. This pamphlet contains an outline of the history of the anarchist movement in Brazil to the present day, and records some of the figures who made it what it was.
Natural Gas Conversion VIII
This volume contains peer-reviewed manuscripts describing the scientific and technological advances presented at the 8th Natural gas Conversion Symposium held in Natal-Brazil, May 27-31, 2007. This symposium continues the tradition of excellence and the status as the premier technical meeting in this area established by previous meetings. The manuscripts have been divided into eight different topics, Industrial Processes, Economics, Technology Demonstration and Commercial Activities;, Production of Hydrogen from Methane, Methanol, and Other Sources; Production of Synthesis; Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis of Hydrocarbons; From Synthesis Gas to; Catalytic Combustion; From Natural Gas to Chemicals; Light Hydrocarbons; and Production and Conversion. These are the most interesting subjects in the utilization of natural gas with recent scientific innovation and technological advances. The book is of interest to all students and researchers active in utilization of natural gas.* Research comes from the most important industries and research centres in the field * Features new studies from all around the world * Important for consulting and updating research and development data
Norteando Experiências em Acessibilidade Cultural
Esta obra vem contribuir para a discussão da Acessibilidade Cultural não só na Região Norte, mas em todo o Brasil. Sua produção decorre do evento formativo presencial "I NORTE DE ARTE ACESSÍVEL: CICLO DE FORMAÇÃO EM ACESSIBILIDADE CULTURAL NA EDUCAÇÃO BÁSICA", realizado de forma conjunta entre a UNIFAP/UEAP/IFAP e fi¬nanciado pela CAPES através do PAEP-EB, sobre Arte/Educação e Acessibilidade Cultural, destinado a docentes da Educação Básica, com ênfase nas atuações na área de Arte e Inclusão, e estudantes de Cursos de Licenciatura, realizado em Macapá (AP) no período de 24 a 27 de abril de 2024.
