Em "Modernização pretérita e o vigor do atraso: uma leitura geográfica do transporte fluvial e do uso dos recursos naturais na região do Solimões no Amazonas" é realizada uma discussão sobre o desempenho dos objetos e das relações políticas e sociais que proporcionam integração territorial e desenvolvimento na região do Solimões no Amazonas. Os fluxos das lanchas no transporte fluvial na região são analisados a partir da ideia de modernização pretérita, úteis à circulação e integração regional. Esta publicação é destinada a estudantes, pesquisadores, professores, profissionais e interessados pela integração regional e pela Geografia Amazônida.
O que fez de um rio não catalogado pela ciência até o século XVII se tornar uma referência econômica nos meados dos séculos XIX e até a metade do século XX e desencadear a criação e urbanização de cidades ao longo de suas margens? A resposta está inserida no contexto deste livro sob o título Geografia Histórica de Carauary do Yuruá: 130 anos de mudança socioeconômica, territorial e ambiental. A referida obra faz um resgate histórico do Reconhecimento do Rio Juruá, a partir de uma missão pacificadora diplomática da Comissão Mista Brasileiro-Peruana, resultando em um relatório bem mais científico que diplomático, sobre o rio considerado o mais sinuoso do mundo. A obra é considerada uma coletânea de diferentes ciências como: antropologia, arqueologia, biogeografia, economia, geografia física, hidrografia, história, paleontologia, patologia, política, sociedade, cultura, território e meio ambiente, que por certo irá contribuir para o norteamento ou guia intelectual aos estudantes, professores e o público em geral que tenham disposição em expandir seus conhecimentos sobre o rio Juruá e o município e cidade de Carauari.
This book provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to knowledge graphs, which have recently garnered notable attention from both industry and academia. Knowledge graphs are founded on the principle of applying a graph-based abstraction to data, and are now broadly deployed in scenarios that require integrating and extracting value from multiple, diverse sources of data at large scale. The book defines knowledge graphs and provides a high-level overview of how they are used. It presents and contrasts popular graph models that are commonly used to represent data as graphs, and the languages by which they can be queried before describing how the resulting data graph can be enhanced ...
Edited in collaboration with FoLLI, the Association of Logic, Language and Information, this book constitutes the 4th volume of the FoLLI LNAI subline; containing the refereed proceedings of the 15th International Workshop on Logic, Language, Information and Computation, WoLLIC 2008, held in Edinburgh, UK, in July 2008. The 21 revised full papers presented together with the abstracts of 7 tutorials and invited lectures were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers cover all pertinent subjects in computer science with particular interest in cross-disciplinary topics. Typical areas of interest are: foundations of computing and programming; novel computation models and paradigms; broad notions of proof and belief; formal methods in software and hardware development; logical approach to natural language and reasoning; logics of programs, actions and resources; foundational aspects of information organization, search, flow, sharing, and protection.
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
This text comprehensively covers the rituals, traditions and receipts of ancestral processes of bread making from multiple countries, including the scientific and technological character of the science of bread making and sourdough biotechnology. Individual chapters cover the scientific aspects of bread making in different cultures and traditions as well as the technological phenomena occurring during the bread making process, utilizing the full network of SOURDOMICS from the COST initiative. Pictures and illustrations are used to explain the science behind bread making processes and the cultural, historical and traditional elements associated with bread making in multiple countries.
