The handbook provides an understanding of consolidated processing and biorefinery systems for the production of bio-based chemicals and value-added bioproducts from renewable sources. The chapters look at a variety of bioenergy technological advances and improvements in the energy and materials sectors that aim to lower our dependence of fossil fuels and consequently reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The volume looks at a selection of processes for the production of energy and biomaterials, including the Fischer–Tropsch process, gasification, pyrolysis, combustion, fermentation from renewable sources (such as, plants, animals and their byproducts), and others. Applications that are ex...
Se exploran los conceptos de diversidad y patrimonio biocultural, situándolos en el contexto legal y de derechos humanos en México como país pluricultural. En cada capítulo, se abordan aspectos del vínculo indisoluble de los pueblos indígenas con su entorno, con enfoques analíticos distintos, como la etnoecología, el diálogo de saberes, la ecología política, entre otros.
El Tlacuache es una publicación de carácter cultural que estuvo relacionada con publicaciones periódicas. En esta ocasión se presenta la segunda compilación de este suplemento que contribuye con la cominicación científica y cultural del protagonista estelar, el estado de Morelos.
Los ensayos que conforman este volumen son producto de un ejercicio de reflexión colectiva, ¿a qué obedecen las palabras “regiones”, “indígenas” y “etnografía” en el título de uno de los proyectos de mayor envergadura en el quehacer etnográfico mexicano de los últimos veinte años: el Programa Nacional Etnografía de las Regiones Indígenas de México? Escudriñar en el título, implica reabrir los debates iniciales en los que se cimentó un programa que buscaba resarcir las limitaciones de la etnografía producida en México.
En esta obra se exploran los conceptos de diversidad y patrimonio biocultural, situándolos en el contexto legal y de derechos humanos en México como país pluricultural, además se abordan aspectos específicos del vínculo indisoluble de los pueblos indígenas con su entorno, de tal manera que las etnografías logran adentrarse en las múltiples dimensiones del patrimonio biocultural.
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 12th Mexican Conference on Pattern Recognition, MCPR 2020, which was due to be held in Morelia, Mexico, in June 2020. The conference was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 31 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 67 submissions. They were organized in the following topical sections: pattern recognition techniques; image processing and analysis; computer vision; industrial and medical applications of pattern recognition; natural language processing and recognition; artificial intelligence techniques and recognition.
Enabling the Business of Agriculture 2019 presents indicators that measure the laws, regulations and bureaucratic processes that affect farmers in 101 countries. The study covers eight thematic areas: supplying seed, registering fertilizer, securing water, registering machinery, sustaining livestock, protecting plant health, trading food and accessing finance. The report highlights global best performers and countries that made the most significant regulatory improvements in support of farmers.
Food safety awareness is at an all time high, new and emerging threats to the food supply are being recognized, and consumers are eating more and more meals prepared outside of the home. Accordingly, retail and foodservice establishments, as well as food producers at all levels of the food production chain, have a growing responsibility to ensure that proper food safety and sanitation practices are followed, thereby, safeguarding the health of their guests and customers. Achieving food safety success in this changing environment requires going beyond traditional training, testing, and inspectional approaches to managing risks. It requires a better understanding of organizational culture and ...
Shock wave-boundary-layer interaction (SBLI) is a fundamental phenomenon in gas dynamics that is observed in many practical situations, ranging from transonic aircraft wings to hypersonic vehicles and engines. SBLIs have the potential to pose serious problems in a flowfield; hence they often prove to be a critical - or even design limiting - issue for many aerospace applications. This is the first book devoted solely to a comprehensive, state-of-the-art explanation of this phenomenon. It includes a description of the basic fluid mechanics of SBLIs plus contributions from leading international experts who share their insight into their physics and the impact they have in practical flow situations. This book is for practitioners and graduate students in aerodynamics who wish to familiarize themselves with all aspects of SBLI flows. It is a valuable resource for specialists because it compiles experimental, computational and theoretical knowledge in one place.
Climate change has been a central concern over recent years, with visible and highly publicized consequences such as melting Arctic ice and mountain glaciers, rising sea levels, and the submersion of low-lying coastal areas during mid-latitude and tropical cyclones. This book presents a review of the spatial impacts of contemporary climate change, with a focus on a systematic, multi-scalar approach. Beyond the facts – rises in temperature, changes in the spatial distribution of precipitation, melting of the marine and terrestrial cryosphere, changes in hydrological regimes at high and medium latitudes, etc. – it also analyzes the geopolitical consequences in the Arctic and Central Asia, changes to Mediterranean culture and to viticulture on a global scale, as well as impacts on the distribution of life, for example, in the Amazon rainforest, in large biomes on a global scale, and for birds.
