Workflows may be defined as abstractions used to model the coherent flow of activities in the context of an in silico scientific experiment. They are employed in many domains of science such as bioinformatics, astronomy, and engineering. Such workflows usually present a considerable number of activities and activations (i.e., tasks associated with activities) and may need a long time for execution. Due to the continuous need to store and process data efficiently (making them data-intensive workflows), high-performance computing environments allied to parallelization techniques are used to run these workflows. At the beginning of the 2010s, cloud technologies emerged as a promising environmen...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 19th Symposium on High Performance Computing System, WSCAD 2018, held in São Paulo, Brazil, in October 2018. The 12 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected out of 61 submissions. The papers included in this book are organized according to the following topics: cloud computing; performance; processors and memory architectures; power and energy.
This book constitutes the workshops of the 15th International Conference on Parallel Computing, Euro-Par 2009, held in Delft, The Netherlands, in August 2009. These focus on advanced specialized topics in parallel and distributed computing and reflect new scientific and technological developments.

Systems architectures, signal processing and systems control, design automation, parallel processing, and software engineering are addressed in a rich variety of high-quality papers written by researchers worldwide. Presentations and technical discussions of research activity and results obtained in European Community sponsored projects are also included in short notes sections which also include brief up-to-date reports on recent work in relevant fields, and technical reports from industry on new products featuring break-throughs or relevant technology. This volume should be of special interest to engineers, researchers and software developers.
Just before the death of his parents, author Tom Liotti, legendary lawyer and judge from New York, learned that he was adopted. In his heartfelt autobiography, Liotti shares the amazing story of how this knowledge impacted his life, his work, and his legacy. Liotti traces the lineage of his parents, Louis and Eileen, and then delves into his childhood. From his first days at kindergarten to being a collegiate swimmer and eventually a famous civil rights attorney, Liotti reveals how his parents always offered encouragement and support through every facet of his life, loved him unconditionally, and shaped his passion for social justice. But it was the discovery of his adoption that altered Liottis world, sending him down an uncharted path. He began searching for his biological parents, desperate to find his roots and know his heritage. No matter his findings, though, Liotti realized how each of us has limitless potential and that love has an infinite capacity to change the world. Gripping, honest, and real, The Secret Adoption brilliantly captures one mans incredible journey into the past and speaks to the resilience of the human spirit.
O livro costura os temas política e epidemia, tendo como recorte o Ceará, entre 1862 e 1863, quando o cólera varreu o território provincial, atingindo milhares de pessoas, das quais cerca de 12 mil morreram. A relação entre política e epidemia é problematizada a partir da análise de Jucieldo Alexandre de como o cólera foi usado nas disputas políticas provinciais do Ceará. Houve apropriação política da "peste" na ocasião: sujeitos históricos e grupos políticos viram na conjuntura tensa instalada a oportunidade para "tomar partido", polemizar com opositores e forjar oportunidades de acesso às benesses da administração provincial, vantagens eleitorais e honrarias estatais.
O livro é dividido em três partes, que abordam: a visão sistêmica da categoria de alienação mental e de neurose na passagem do século XVIII para o século XIX; da teoria do inconsciente ao conceito de pulsão de morte no horizonte da época de Freud; a etiologia psíquica da psicose. As três partes são divididas pelos seguintes capítulos: Parte I - Visão sistêmica da categoria de alienação mental e de neurose na passagem do século XVIII para o século XIX: Capítulo 1. A categoria de alienação mental na passagem do século XVII para o século XIX Capítulo 2. A categoria de neurose na passagem do século XVII para o século XIX Parte II - Da teoria do inconsciente ao conceit...
Overlooked in the history of artistic endeavors are the contributions of female writers, painters, and crafters of the Caribbean. The creative works by women from the Caribbean proves to be as remarkable as the women themselves. In Caribbean Women and Their Art: An Encyclopedia, Mary Ellen Snodgrass explores the rich history of women’s creative expression by examining the crafts and skill of over 70 female originators in the West Indies, from the familiar islands—Jamaica, Haiti, Cuba, Puerto Rico—to the obscurity of Roatan, Curaçao, Guanaja, and Indian Key. Focusing particularly on artistic style during the arrival of Europeans among the West Indies, the importance of cultural exchang...
