Este livro é uma coletânea de textos sobre temas contemporâneos e locais em Linguística Aplicada, escritos por pesquisadoras e pesquisadores de mestrado e de doutorado do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras da UFPR. Por meio da metáfora do caleidoscópio, julgo que esta obra é uma bela imagem que se constitui por pedaços, cores, formas e combinações, formada pela mira e pelo movimento das autoras e dos autores, composta, portanto, por disparidade, heterogeneidade, diversidade, localidade e movimento; porque, um instante depois, já é outra coisa.
The book presents theory and algorithms for secure networked inference in the presence of Byzantines. It derives fundamental limits of networked inference in the presence of Byzantine data and designs robust strategies to ensure reliable performance for several practical network architectures. In particular, it addresses inference (or learning) processes such as detection, estimation or classification, and parallel, hierarchical, and fully decentralized (peer-to-peer) system architectures. Furthermore, it discusses a number of new directions and heuristics to tackle the problem of design complexity in these practical network architectures for inference.
This reference text provides a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in 2D materials for energy storage and conversion. It covers a wide range of 2D materials and energy applications, including 2D heterostructures for hydrogen storage applications, cathode and anode materials for lithium and sodium-ion batteries, ultrafast lithium and sodium-ion batteries, MXenes for improved electrochemical applications and MXenes as solid-state asymmetric supercapacitors. 2D Materials for Energy Storage and Conversion is an invaluable reference for researchers and graduate students working with 2D materials for energy storage and conversion in the fields of nanotechnology, electrochemistry, materials chemistry, materials engineering and chemical engineering. Key Features: Provides a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in 2D materials for energy storage and conversion technologies Covers the most promising candidates for radically advanced energy storage Covers 2D heterostructures and provides a holistic view of the subject Includes 2D materials beyond graphene, defects engineering, and the main challenges in the field
Multiword expressions (MWEs) are a challenge for both the natural language applications and the linguistic theory because they often defy the application of the machinery developed for free combinations where the default is that the meaning of an utterance can be predicted from its structure. There is a rich body of primarily descriptive work on MWEs for many European languages but comparative work is little. The volume brings together MWE experts to explore the benefits of a multilingual perspective on MWEs. The ten contributions in this volume look at MWEs in Bulgarian, English, French, German, Maori, Modern Greek, Romanian, Serbian, and Spanish. They discuss prominent issues in MWE research such as classification of MWEs, their formal grammatical modeling, and the description of individual MWE types from the point of view of different theoretical frameworks, such as Dependency Grammar, Generative Grammar, Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar, Lexical Functional Grammar, Lexicon Grammar.

Universal basic income (UBI) is emerging as one of the most hotly debatedissues in development and social protection policy. But what are thefeatures of UBI? What is it meant to achieve? How do we know, andwhat don’t we know, about its performance? What does it take to implementit in practice? Drawing from global evidence, literature, and survey data, thisvolume provides a framework to elucidate issues and trade-offs in UBI with a viewto help inform choices around its appropriateness and feasibility in different contexts.Specifically, the book examines how UBI differs from or complements othersocial assistance programs in terms of objectives, coverage, incidence, adequacy,incentives, effects on poverty and inequality, financing, political economy, andimplementation. It also reviews past and current country experiences, surveys thefull range of existing policy proposals, provides original results from micro–tax benefitsimulations, and sets out a range of considerations around the analytics andpractice of UBI.
