La logística, como campo de estudio, inició su evolución desde la posguerra y hoy plantea la necesidad de integrar las operaciones de los diversos actores de las denominadas cadenas de abastecimiento. Este libro establece las principales tendencias en la localización de instalaciones, los inventarios y el transporte, y plantea su necesaria integración en la solución de problemas de diseño de las cadenas de abastecimiento.
Si bien las economías modernas se conciben con un servicio de energía eléctrica seguro, las interrupciones en los últimos años demuestran la vulnerabilidad de los sistemas de potencia. En este libro se proponen alternativas que se evalúan a través de diferentes técnicas de simulación, para su implementación en un contexto de mercado.
The book explores and exploits the synergy and boundary between biotechnology, bioprocessing and food engineering. Divided into three parts, Advances in Food Bioproducts and Bioprocessing Technologies includes contributions that deal with new developments in procedures, bioproducts, and bioprocesses that can be given quantitative expression. Its 40 chapters will describe how research results can be used in engineering design, include procedures to produce food additives and ingredients, and discuss accounts of experimental or theoretical research and recent advances in food bioproducts and bioprocessing technologies.
La durabilidad y el desempeño de capas de rodadura de pavimentos en concreto asfáltico dependen de múltiples factores. Aunque el control de calidad convencional evalúa la respuesta mecánica (capacidad portante y deformabilidad), hay características que no son debidamente estudiadas (composición química y mineralógica de los agregados pétreos; estructura interna del concreto asfáltico). Para complementar la evaluación de concretos asfálticos utilizados para pavimentación vial, se implementan técnicas poco convencionales en la ingeniería civil como los análisis petrográficos, mineralógicos y químicos. En este libro se exponen los aspectos más relevantes relacionados con el...

In Gender-Sensitive Norm Interpretation by Regional Human Rights Law Systems Maria Sjöholm examines the jurisprudence on gender-based harm in the European, Inter-American and African regional human rights law systems from the viewpoint of feminist legal methods and theories. By offering indicators relevant for gender-sensitive norm interpretation, Maria Sjöholm identifies inconsistencies in the current regional legal frameworks with regard to the protection of women concerning such violations as domestic violence, human trafficking, sexual violence, forced sterilization and restrictions on other reproductive rights. The book offers an in-depth account not only of the manner in which such harm has been recognized through integration in general human rights law treaties, but also the categorization of such as particular human rights norms by regional human rights courts and commissions.
'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 book reports on research and developments in human–technology interaction. A special emphasis is given to human–computer interaction and its implementation for a wide range of purposes such as health care, aerospace, telecommunication, and education, among others. The human aspects are analyzed in detail. Timely studies on human-centered design, wearable technologies, social and affective computing, augmented, virtual and mixed reality simulation, human rehabilitation, and biomechanics represent the core of the book. Emerging technology applications in business, security, and infrastructure are also critically examined, thus offering a timely, scientifically grounded, but also profe...
