The ten-volume set LNCS 12949 – 12958 constitutes the proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications, ICCSA 2021, which was held in Cagliari, Italy, during September 13 – 16, 2021. The event was organized in a hybrid mode due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The 466 full and 18 short papers presented in these proceedings were carefully reviewed and selected from 1588 submissions. The books cover such topics as multicore architectures, mobile and wireless security, sensor networks, open source software, collaborative and social computing systems and tools, cryptography, human computer interaction, software design engineering, and others. Part II of...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 22nd International Conference on Intelligent Data Engineering and Automated Learning, IDEAL 2021, which took place during November 25-27, 2021. The conference was originally planned to take place in Manchester, UK, but was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 61 full papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 85 submissions. They deal with emerging and challenging topics in intelligent data analytics and associated machine learning paradigms and systems. Special sessions were held on clustering for interpretable machine learning; machine learning towards smarter multimodal systems; and computational intelligence for computer vision and image processing.
In organizations today, knowledge on how to manage in a green environment is of a particular emphasis and is an important discussion topic amongst academics, researchers, and managers. Undertakings such as sustainability, not only in an environmental perspective but also in an organizational perspective; recycling; re-use; low costs; waste reduction; and high productivity are only some, among many others, that require a break in traditional management paradigms. Present organizations need to be managed with different models where innovation and change are key words as they drive the organization to success. At this level, green management appears as a new way to manage and understand organiz...
Sugarcane Biorefinery, Technology and Perspectives provides the reader with a current view of the global scenario of sugarcane biorefinery, launching a new expectation on this important crop from a chemical, energy and sustainability point-of-view. The book explores the existing biorefinery platforms that can be used to convert sugarcane to new high value added products. It also addresses one of today's most controversial issues involving energy cane, in addition to the dilemma "sugar cane vs. food vs. the environment", adding even more value in a culture that is already a symbol of case study around the world. Focusing on the chemical composition of sugarcane, and the production and process...
This expansive and practical textbook contains organic chemistry experiments for teaching in the laboratory at the undergraduate level covering a range of functional group transformations and key organic reactions.The editorial team have collected contributions from around the world and standardized them for publication. Each experiment will explore a modern chemistry scenario, such as: sustainable chemistry; application in the pharmaceutical industry; catalysis and material sciences, to name a few. All the experiments will be complemented with a set of questions to challenge the students and a section for the instructors, concerning the results obtained and advice on getting the best outcome from the experiment. A section covering practical aspects with tips and advice for the instructors, together with the results obtained in the laboratory by students, has been compiled for each experiment. Targeted at professors and lecturers in chemistry, this useful text will provide up to date experiments putting the science into context for the students.
This book discusses smart technologies and their influence in the field of manufacturing and industrial systems engineering, in the context of performability enhancement, and explores the development of the workforce for the execution of such smart and advanced technologies. Smart Technologies for Improved Performance of Manufacturing Systems and Services discusses the integration of smart technology into the production process and supply chain to enhance the overall performance of manufacturing industries. As well as emphasizing the fundamentals of smart technologies, such as artificial intelligence, big data, and cyber-physical systems, it highlights the role that machine learning plays along with other smart technologies. Real-time case studies highlight the applications of smart digital technologies, and research insights into the area of performability and overall sustainable development round out the great range of discussions this reference book has to offer. Managers and stakeholders seeking coverage on techniques and methods for integration into their organizations, as well as students and researchers in the field will find this book very useful.

This book presents Cildo's work, focusing on his "studies". A great part of his most relevant works are shown here not only through photos of them in exhibitions, but also through Cildo's drawings and sketches, which allow us to see his processes of creation. In here, there are well-known installations such as Eureka / Blindhotland, Malhas da Liberdade, La Bruja and Desvio para o Vermelho, Através. There are also some of his less known works, never before gathered in a book. Another highlight of the book is a selection of 12 fundamental texts about Cildo's work, written by critics from all over the world, throughout his career, from his first exhibition in 1969 to 2017.
The escalating interdependecy of nations drives global geopolitics to shift ever more quickly. Societies seem unable to control any change that affects their cities, whether positively or negatively. Challenges are global, but solutions need to be implemented locally. How can architectural research contribute to the future of our changing society? How has it contributed in the past? The theme of the 10th EAAE/ARCC International Conference, “Architectural Research Addressing Societal Challenges”, was set to address these questions. This book, Architectural Research Addressing Societal Challenges, includes reviewed papers presented in June 2016, at the 10th EAAE/ARCC International Conferen...
