Maravillas, peregrinaciones y utopías
Este volumen trata de dibujar un mapa estratégico que sirva de guía para el acercamiento a la literatura de viajes producida en el Medievo y Renacimiento europeos: libros verídicos (cruzadas, peregrinaciones, embajadas, misiones, viajes comerciales, expediciones bélicas), viajes seudo-históricos o ficcionalizados, geografías y mapas comentados, cosmografía alegórica, secciones enciclopédicas, mundos imaginados, bestiarios…El libro propone una aproximación interdisciplinar a una región de la cultura en el pasado tan fascinante como todavía inexplorada: "Mares, sueños, vuelos y paraísos", "El viaje a Jerusalén y a los lugares sagrados: cruzada y peregrinación", "Libros de maravillas" y "Espacios narrativos". A la vez, sugiere una reflexión actual sobre el viaje antiguo -más que nunca vigente, ¿viaje sólo de ida y vuelta?- desde el Mediterráneo a Oriente.
La gestió del patrimoni literari
El patrimoni literari pot esdevenir una «eina» on sentir-nos identificats com a societat, al mateix temps que pot convertir-se en un element diferenciador amb capacitat de posicionar-se i esdevenir agent socioeconòmic. Perquè això succeeixi cal que abandoni la seva posició perifèrica i se’n professionalitzi la gestió. Precisament l’objectiu d’aquesta publicació és evidenciar la importància de la gestió del patrimoni literari perquè es (re)conegui com a propi al si d’una societat i sobrevisqui al pas del temps reconeixent-li i reivindicant-ne la importància en termes identitaris, de cohesió social i econòmics, com a motor de desenvolupament. Per aconseguir-ho es comença investigant sobre el concepte de patrimoni literari, entès com a (poli)sistema, per després conceptualitzar-ne la gestió. Seguidament, es fa una aproximació, amb voluntat comparativa, a l’estat de la qüestió de la gestió a Catalunya i a Anglaterra, per acabar creant un model de valoració de la gestió del patrimoni literari. Finalment, s’exposen les conclusions pertinents amb la voluntat de posicionar el patrimoni literari en la centralitat del sistema cultural català.

A Handbook of Global Freshwater Invasive Species
Invasive non-native species are a major threat to global biodiversity. Often introduced accidentally through international travel or trade, they invade and colonize new habitats, often with devastating consequences for the local flora and fauna. Their environmental impacts can range from damage to resource production (e.g. agriculture and forestry) and infrastructure (e.g. buildings, road and water supply), to human health. They consequently can have major economic impacts. It is a priority to prevent their introduction and spread, as well as to control them. Freshwater ecosystems are particularly at risk from invasions and are landscape corridors that facilitate the spread of invasives. Thi...
Federated Learning
This book provides a comprehensive and self-contained introduction to federated learning, ranging from the basic knowledge and theories to various key applications. Privacy and incentive issues are the focus of this book. It is timely as federated learning is becoming popular after the release of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Since federated learning aims to enable a machine model to be collaboratively trained without each party exposing private data to others. This setting adheres to regulatory requirements of data privacy protection such as GDPR. This book contains three main parts. Firstly, it introduces different privacy-preserving methods for protecting a federated lear...
Greenhouse Design and Control
Agricultural production is one of the main keys to the development of healthy societies. It is anticipated that agricultural systems will increasingly have to contend with temperature, humidity and water stress in the near future. This makes the need to increase the efficiency of land and water use ever more urgent. The control and design of greenhouses allows to increase dramatically the quality of crops and extend the cultivation period year-round. A properly designed autonomous greenhouse based on hydroponics can greatly reduce the amounts of nutrients and energy expended in agricultural production. This book deals with different types of greenhouses, materials, structures, advanced contr...
Jamaica's Difficult Subjects
Argues that subjects that disrupt essentialized notions of identity as equivalent to sovereignty function as a call for postcolonial critics to broaden their critical horizons beyond the usual questions of national identity and exclusion/inclusion.
Chemistry of Advanced Environmental Purification Processes of Water
Chemistry of Advanced Environmental Purification Processes of Water covers the fundamentals behind a broad spectrum of advanced purification processes for various types of water, showing numerous applications through worked examples. Purification processes for groundwater, soil water, reusable water, and raw water are examined where they are in use full-scale, as a pilot approach, or in the laboratory. This book also describes the production of ceramic particles (nanochemistry) and materials for the creation of filtration systems and catalysts that are involved. - Uses chemistry fundamentals to explain the mechanisms behind the various purification processes - Explains in detail process equipment and technical applications - Describes the production of ceramic particles and other new materials applicable to filtration systems - Includes worked examples
