Emerging technologies in education are dramatically reshaping the way we teach, learn, and create meaning—both formally and informally. The use of emerging technologies within educational contexts requires new methodological approaches to teaching, learning, and educational research. This leads educational technology developers, researchers, and practitioners to engage in the creation of diverse digital learning tools that can be used in a wide range of learning situations and scenarios. Ultimately, the goal of today's digital learning experiences includes situational experiences wherein learners and teachers symbiotically enroll in meaning-making processes. Discussion, critical reflection...
This book contains selected papers presented during the World Renewable Energy Congress (WREC) 2020 at the Instituto Superior Técnico in Lisbon. The WREC is dedicated to promoting renewable energy global development, and features top international experts, policy makers, scientists, engineers, technology developers, and business practitioners addressing the most current research and technological breakthroughs in sustainable energy development and innovation. The contributions address policy and renewable energy technologies and applications in all sectors—for heating and cooling, agricultural applications, water, desalination, industrial applications, and for the transport sectors. Presents cutting-edge research in green building and renewable energy from all over the world; Covers the most up-to-date research developments, government policies, business models, best practices, and innovations; Contains case studies and examples to enhance practical application of the technologies.
This book includes a selection of papers presented at the Third World Conference on Qualitative Research (WCQR2018), held in Lisbon, Portugal on October 17–19, 2018. The WCQR2018 focused on four main fields of application (Education, Health, Social Sciences, and Engineering and Technology) and seven main subjects: Rationale and Paradigms of Qualitative Research; Systematization of Approaches with Qualitative Studies; Qualitative and Mixed Methods Research; Data Analysis Types; Innovative Processes of Qualitative Data Analysis; Qualitative Research in Web Contexts; and Qualitative Analysis with the Support of Specific Software. Given its breadth of coverage, the book offers a valuable resource for academics, researchers, teachers and students seeking information on the above topics, and on the use of Computer Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis (CAQDAS).

Hydrogen and fuel cells are vital technologies to ensure a secure and CO2-free energy future. Their development will take decades of extensive public and private effort to achieve technology breakthroughs and commercial maturity. Government research programs are indispensable for catalyzing the development process. This report maps the IEA countries' current efforts to research, develop and deploy the interlocking elements that constitute a "hydrogen economy", including CO2 capture and storage when hydrogen is produced out of fossil fuels. It provides an overview of what is being done, and by whom, covering an extensive complexity of national government R & D programs. The survey highlights ...

Economic and environmental requirements for advanced power generating systems demand the removal of corrosive and other sulfurous compounds from hot coal gas. After a brief account of the world energy resources and an overview of clean coal technologies, a review of regenerable metal oxide sorbents for cleaning the hot gas is provided. Zinc oxide, copper oxide, calcium oxide, manganese oxide based as well as supported and mixed metal oxide sorbents are treated. Performance analysis of these sorbents, effects of various parameters on the desulfurization efficiency, kinetics of sulfidation and regeneration reactions, sulfiding and regeneration mechanisms are discussed. Two chapters present recent results in the direct production of elemental sulfur from regeneration or SO2-rich gases.

A presente obra é uma iniciativa da Sociedade Portuguesa de Direito Internacional (SPDI), em parceria com a Cátedra Jean Monnet de Direito da UFMG/Brasil, criada com o intuito de homenagear o Professor Luís Fontoura. Capítulo a capítulo a obra procura cobrir e desenvolver os principais debates contemporâneos ao nível das políticas e do direito internacional da guerra e da paz, através das interpretações de conceituados especialistas brasileiros, espanhóis e portugueses. A obra destina-se a um público muito diversificado devido à sua abordagem multidisciplinar, que toca as Relações Internacionais, o Direito Internacional, a Economia, a Filosofia, a História e a Ciência Política.
Manual de Direito Internacional Público - Uma perspetiva de direito lusófono, nesta sua 6a edição, atualizada, é um livro de natureza pedagógica, destinado ao ensino superior, ao mesmo tempo útil aos estudantes das Faculdades de Direito e aos estudantes de outros cursos em que são ministrados temas atinentes às Relações Internacionais e à Política Internacional. Oferece-se também um conjunto de reflexões sobre um Direito Internacional Público em evolução permanente que qualquer profissional - de magistrado judicial e do Ministério Público a advogado, de diplomata a funcionário internacional, de decisor, político e administrativo a dirigente de organizações internacionais não-governamentais - não pode hoje ignorar. Nesta 6a edição, houve a ocasião de simplificar alguns trechos e de atualizar referências normativas e doutrinárias.
