Nesta obra, buscamos apresentar as diversas variáveis que devem compor a equação para a decisão de qual o melhor combustível a usar. Alguns fatores relevantes estão presentes na legislação, em acordos internacionais, tendências mundiais, oportunidade de mercado e em análises sociais, econômicas, ambientais e de saúde pública. Tratamos uma questão fundamental para a perspectiva do consumidor: a diferenciação entre o preço e o valor dos biocombustíveis. Analisamos as externalidades que os combustíveis carregam desde a produção até o uso, incluindo os instrumentos que facilitam ou dificultam o consumo. Uma análise dos principais objetivos e princípios da Lei de Política...

Política externa é um projeto de poder. Mas o que é o poder? O que é política externa? E qual a funcionalidade do poder para as finalidades da política externa (brasileira)? Este livro realiza uma reflexão da análise de política externa com o objetivo de compreender, explicar e prospectar o comportamento político brasileiro no âmbito internacional. Enquanto um campo de estudo dinâmico que visa compreender a influência da política internacional com a finalidade de orientar os Estados e demais atores, a política externa é uma ferramenta imprescindível para a consecução de um processo deliberado de mudança social. Enquanto projeto de poder, esta deve ter como finalidade a eq...
O que é a guerra cibernética? Como o Direito Internacional Humanitário, ou Direito Internacional dos Conflitos Armados, oferece proteção às vítimas de guerras cibernéticas? Numa tendência de digitalização e dependência global do espaço cibernético, as vulnerabilidades do ambiente virtual foram afloradas, ressaltando este como potencial zona de operações militares. Os ataques cibernéticos podem ter diversas origens, desde organizações terroristas, ativistas etc., e podem ser utilizados por governos para auxiliar estrategicamente os tradicionais domínios bélicos e/ou coadunar como "atos de guerra". Nesse ambiente complexo, incerto e de difícil fiscalização, propiciam-se...

This book presents all the information readers need to understand the current and potential array of techniques, materials, applications and their benefits for spinal cord repair. - Covers current and future repair strategies for spinal cord injury repair - Focuses on key research trends, clinics, biology and engineering - Provides fundamentals on regenerative engineering and tissue engineering
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th IFIP WG 5.5 Working Conference on Virtual Enterprises, PRO-VE 2016, held in Porto, Portugal, in October 2016. The 57 revised papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 148 submissions. They provide a comprehensive overview of identified challenges and recent advances in various collaborative network (CN) domains and their applications, with a strong focus on the following areas: hyperconnected systems, managing data and knowledge, networked business processes, collective intelligence and decision making, creating supply and production networks, operating and management of networks, collaborative engineering, product services, intelligent product ecosystems, product personalization, service orientation, cloud technology aspects for VOs, design science research, business models in hyperconnected context, agribusiness value chain, and collaborative networks in circular economy.
Cratonic basins are large, distinctive features of the continental crust. They are preferentially developed on thick continental lithosphere, are typically sub-circular in shape and subside over periods of hundreds of millions of years. They are also endowed with significant resources. However, in spite of their location in continental interiors and often well-known geology, the subsidence driving mechanism and tectonic setting of these basins remains controversial. This volume presents both lithospheric and basin scale datasets acquired specifically to interrogate the tectonic process of cratonic basin formation. Focused on the Silurian to Triassic Parnaíba cratonic basin of Brazil, the papers discuss the results of a multidisciplinary basin analysis project comprising new geophysical, geological and geochemical data. This unique dataset enables the characterization of the lithospheric crust and mantle beneath the Parnaíba Basin, constrains the detailed evolution of the basin itself, and enables comparisons with cratonic basins globally. Several convergent themes emerge providing new and powerful constraints for models of the driving mechanisms of these enigmatic basins.
