Building the Cape Verde Islands
Hotspots are enigmatic surface features that are not easily explained in the framework of plate tectonics. Investigating their origin is the goal of this thesis, using field evidence collected in the Cape Verde Islands, a prominent hotspot archipelago in the eastern Atlantic Ocean. The approach taken is to document uplift of the islands relative to sea level and use the uplift features to test various models of hotspot development. Island uplift is thought to arise from the growth of the anomalously shallow seafloor on which the islands rest, known as the bathymetric swell, which is characteristic of hotspots. The work comprises a geological summary and detailed mapping of paleo sea level markers on Cape Verde. Isotopic dating of the markers shows that uplift on the islands over the last 6 Myr is up to 400 m, and that the uplift chronology varies among islands. Two processes act to raise the Cape Verde Islands. The dominant process is one that is local to individual islands. The regional, swell-related component is smaller, and possibly episodic. The observations provide strong constraints on swell development and on hotspot models.
How to Be a Surfer
Aim at helping surfers and non-surfers improve their surfing skills, as well as their enjoyment in the water.
Robot Operating System (ROS)
This second volume is a continuation of the successful first volume of this Springer book, and as well as addressing broader topics it puts a particular focus on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with Robot Operating System (ROS). Consisting of three types of chapters: tutorials, cases studies, and research papers, it provides comprehensive additional material on ROS and the aspects of developing robotics systems, algorithms, frameworks, and applications with ROS. ROS is being increasingly integrated in almost all kinds of robots and is becoming the de-facto standard for developing applications and systems for robotics. Although the research community is actively developing applications with R...
The Cultural Dynamics of Shell-Matrix Sites
The excavation of shell middens and mounds is an important source of information regarding past human diet, settlement, technology, and paleoenvironments. The contributors to this book introduce new ways to study shell-matrix sites, ranging from the geochemical analysis of shellfish to the interpretation of human remains buried within. Drawing upon examples from around the world, this is one of the only books to offer a global perspective on the archaeology of shell-matrix sites. “A substantial contribution to the literature on the subject and . . . essential reading for archaeologists and others who work on this type of site.”—Barbara Voorhies, University of California, Santa Barbara, author of Coastal Collectors in the Holocene: The Chantuto People of Southwest Mexico
Progress in Artificial Intelligence
The two-volume set LNAI 14115 and 14116 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 22nd EPIA Conference on Progress in Artificial Intelligence, EPIA 2023, held in Faial Island, Azores, in September 2023. The 85 full papers presented in these proceedings were carefully reviewed and selected from 163 submissions. The papers have been organized in the following topical sections: ambient intelligence and affective environments; ethics and responsibility in artificial intelligence; general artificial intelligence; intelligent robotics; knowledge discovery and business intelligence; multi-agent Systems: theory and applications; natural language processing, text mining and applications; planning, scheduling and decision-making in AI; social simulation and modelling; artifical intelligence, generation and creativity; artificial intelligence and law; artificial intelligence in power and energy systems; artificial intelligence in medicine; artificial intelligence and IoT in agriculture; artificial intelligence in transportation systems; artificial intelligence in smart computing; artificial intelligence for industry and societies.
