Múltiplos olhares sobre o meio ambiente e sustentabilidade
A segunda coletânea “Múltiplos Olhares sobre o Meio Ambiente e Sustentabilidade” traz à público pesquisas desenvolvidas por alunos de mestrado do Programa de Ciências Ambientais da Universidade de Cuiabá, que tem como objetivo desenvolver atividades interdisciplinares quanto à avaliação da estrutura do meio físico e biológico dos diversos ambientes regionais, com ênfase na questão das mudanças climáticas e na influência da ação antrópica no ambiente. Um elemento que ganha crescente destaque, dentro das questões ambientais, é a sustentabilidade, um termo usado para definir ações e atividades humanas que visam suprir as necessidades atuais dos seres humanos, sem comp...
SISTEMAS NATURAIS ANTROPIZADOS: desafios à conservação da biodiversidade
Os sistemas naturais são constantemente afetados pelas atividades antrópicas, pois abrangem ecossistemas terrestres e aquáticos, interferindo nos processos físicos, químicos e biológicos nas escalas espacial e temporal. Dessa forma, tais alterações impactam os seres humanos pela redução da qualidade ambiental e da biodiversidade. Nos capítulos desse livro são tratados temas atuais através de abordagens teóricas, pontos de vista e metodologias para a detecção e mitigação de impactos que abrangem aos efeitos das atividades humanas sobre biodiversidade, fornecendo subsídios para estudantes, professores e gestores.
Physical Climatology
"The gaseous envelop surrounding the earth is called atmosphere while the science dealing with the study of the atmospheric components and characteristics is called meteorology and climatology. Climatology is the scientific study of climate and is a major branch of meteorology. Climatology is the tool that is used to develop long-range forecasts. There are three principal approaches to the study of climatology: physical, descriptive, and dynamic. The physical climatology approach seeks to explain the differences in climate in light of the physical processes influencing climate and the processes producing the various kinds of physical climates, such as marine, desert, and mountain. Physical c...
Energy and Climate in the Urban Built Environment
Both the number and percentage of people living in urban areas is growing rapidly. Up to half of the world's population is expected to be living in a city by the end of the century and there are over 170 cities in the world with populations over a million. Cities have a huge impact on the local climate and require vast quantities of energy to keep them functioning. The urban environment in turn has a big impact on the performance and needs of buildings. The size, scale and mechanism of these interactions is poorly understood and strategies to mitigate them are rarely implemented. This is the first comprehensive book to address these questions. It arises out of a programme of work (POLISTUDIE...
Robotics and Automation Handbook
As the capability and utility of robots has increased dramatically with new technology, robotic systems can perform tasks that are physically dangerous for humans, repetitive in nature, or require increased accuracy, precision, and sterile conditions to radically minimize human error. The Robotics and Automation Handbook addresses the major aspects of designing, fabricating, and enabling robotic systems and their various applications. It presents kinetic and dynamic methods for analyzing robotic systems, considering factors such as force and torque. From these analyses, the book develops several controls approaches, including servo actuation, hybrid control, and trajectory planning. Design a...

Freshwater Biodiversity
Fresh waters are disproportionately rich in species, and represent global hotspots of biodiversity. However, they are also hotspots of endangerment.
Transport of Photoassimilates
Eight invited papers review the major recent developments in the study of the movement of photoassimilates within the higher plants. The major events of the entire migration from the chloroplast of the photosynthetic cell to the sink organ are covered. The chapters discuss transport within photosynthetic cells and between leaf cells; the structure of phloem; the origin, destination, and fate of phloem solutes; the loading and unloading of photoassimilates, the physiological aspects of translation, and the relationship and regulation between source and sink organs. Includes an appendix of tables showing the physico-chemical aspects of phloem sap. Intended for postgraduate and advanced undergraduate students.
