Collaboration and Technology
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Collaboration and Technology, CRIWG 2018, held in Costa de Caparica, Portugal, in September 2018. The 11 revised full papers presented together with 6 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 32 submissions. The papers published in the proceedings of this year span dierent areas of collaborative computing research, from collaborative learning to collaboration through social media and virtual communities.
DEBATES EM EDUCAÇÃO: superando limites, abrindo horizontes, construindo caminhos – Volume 1
Os capítulos integrantes da obra apresentam pesquisas finalizadas ou em andamento que envolvem técnicas, métodos e práticas como meios para acessar, produzir e expressar o conhecimento. Por meio das estratégias de ensino-aprendizagem adotadas e práticas pedagógicas, que correspondem aos diversos procedimentos planejados, praticados e implementados por profissionais da educação tanto dentro quanto fora dos muros escolares, são oferecidas alternativas para o exercício do processo de ensino. Referidas metodologias proporcionam novas oportunidades e horizontes por meio da construção de caminhos alternativos para a educação. Nesse contexto, os capítulos discutem os entraves que historicamente permeiam a educação, bem como os novos panoramas ou problemas que desafiam os docentes e discentes no cotidiano escolar. Os estudos e as pesquisas têm como finalidade atingir propostas de ensino por meio de alternativas para superar limites, abrir horizontes e construir caminhos que têm sido aplicadas no âmbito escolar.
Ambient Assisted Living and Active Aging
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Ambient Assisted Living, IWAAL 2013, held in Carillo, Costa Rica, in December 2013. The 13 full papers and 7 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 23 submissions. The focus of the papers is on following topics: AAL environments, user interaction and assistive solutions, sensing and activity recognition and key application domains.
Precipitation Partitioning by Vegetation
This book presents research on precipitation partitioning processes in vegetated ecosystems, putting them into a global context. It describes the processes by which meteoric water comes into contact with the vegetation's canopy, typically the first surface contact of precipitation on land. It also discusses how precipitation partitioning by vegetation impacts the amount, patterning, and chemistry of water reaching the surface, as well as the amount and timing of evaporative return to the atmosphere. Although this process has been extensively studied, this is the first review of the global literature on the partitioning of precipitation by forests, shrubs, crops, grasslands and other less-studies plant types. The authors offer global contextualization combined with a detailed discussion of the impacts for the climate and terrestrial ecohydrological systems. As such, this comprehensive overview is a valuable reference tool for a wide range of specialists and students in the fields of geoscience and the environment.
Topics in Modal Analysis, Volume 7
Topics in Modal Analysis, Volume 7: Proceedings of the 31st IMAC, A Conference and Exposition on Structural Dynamics, 2013, the seventh volume of seven from the Conference, brings together contributions to this important area of research and engineering. The collection presents early findings and case studies on fundamental and applied aspects of Structural Dynamics, including papers on: Fluid Structure Interaction Adaptive Structures Experimental Techniques Analytical Methods Damage Detection Damping of Materials & Members Modal Parameter Identification Modal Testing Methods System Identification Active Control Modal Parameter Estimation Processing Modal Data
Cellular Mechanisms in Alzheimer’s Disease
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is the product of the slow and progressive degenerative alteration that develops in the adult brain and can remain asymptomatic for a considerable time before cognitive deficits becomes evident. The main challenge for researchers is to identify markers of this degenerative process, and, in this sense, data has been generated through experiments bringing to light new mechanisms and hypothesis to explain its pathophysiology. This book is a review of recent studies in AD molecular biology. Chapters explain various facets of AD, which include animal models, morphological changes, membrane composition, amyloidogenic peptides, intracellular transport systems, and the role of oxidative stress and calcium deregulation. Readers will understand the molecular mechanisms behind AD and therefore broaden their perspective on this neurodegenerative disease and its progression.
Collaboration and Technology
This book constitutes the refereed proceeding of the 23rd International Conference on Collaboration and Technology, CRIWG 2017, held in Saskatoon, Canada, in August 2017. The 14 full papers presented together with 5 work-in-progress papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 33 submissions. The papers focus on collaboration technology design, development, and evaluation. The background research is influenced by a number disciplines, such as computer science, management science, information systems, engineering, psychology, cognitive sciences, and social sciences
Healthcare Access
Adequate healthcare access not only requires the availability of comprehensive healthcare facilities but also affordability and knowledge of the availability of these services. As an extended responsibility, healthcare providers can create mechanisms to facilitate subjective decision-making in accessing the right kind of healthcare services as well various options to support financial needs to bear healthcare-related expenses while seeking health and fulfilling the healthcare needs of the population. This volume brings together experiences and opinions from global leaders to develop affordable, sustainable, and uniformly available options to access healthcare services.
Ambient Assisted Living and Home Care
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Ambient Assisted Living, IWAAL 2012, held in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain, in December 2012. The 58 research papers were carefully reviewed and selected from various submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections such as intelligent healthcare and home-care environments, AAL environments, sensing and monitoring, human-computer interaction at assistive environments, semantic modeling for realizing AAL, and application domains.
