Ao longo dos anos de 2020 a 2022, fomos severamente afetados em âmbito mundial pelo advento da pandemia do Coronavírus, tendo por consequência inúmeras transformações nas relações sociais, econômicas, políticas, tecnológicas e culturais, com peculiares repercussões em diversas áreas do Direito. Nesse contexto, o advento da Covid-19 causou grande impacto nas relações humanas, e, por conseguinte, nas relações jurídicas estabelecidas na sociedade contemporânea, especialmente, pelo incremento de novos avanços tecnológicos, pelo processo de digitalização do mundo, pela criação de regimes jurídicos transitórios e emergenciais, surgimento de novos danos, bem como pela nec...
A desigualdade econômica e a crescente concentração de riquezas no mundo são um problema não apenas moral, mas também político-social porque maculam o princípio democrático. O caminho que as políticas econômicas têm adotado diante de grandes crises só tem agravado o problema. Isso ficou evidenciado com a pandemia da Covid-19. No Brasil, a tributação regressiva é um agravante. Uma reforma tributária que pretenda enfrentar esse problema deve estar voltada para a progressividade. Isso, entretanto, esbarra no problema da divisão de competências tributárias próprias do federalismo fiscal brasileiro. A forma como este está organizado faz com que a tributação sobre a produç...
The significantly expanded and updated new edition of a widely used text on reinforcement learning, one of the most active research areas in artificial intelligence. Reinforcement learning, one of the most active research areas in artificial intelligence, is a computational approach to learning whereby an agent tries to maximize the total amount of reward it receives while interacting with a complex, uncertain environment. In Reinforcement Learning, Richard Sutton and Andrew Barto provide a clear and simple account of the field's key ideas and algorithms. This second edition has been significantly expanded and updated, presenting new topics and updating coverage of other topics. Like the fir...
A publicação de um texto técnico ou científico é uma das formas mais utilizadas para transmitir à comunidade o conhecimento adquirido durante o desenvolvimento de um projeto ou de uma pesquisa. O compartilhamento de conhecimento promove o acelerado desenvolvimento da sociedade, além de um crescimento pessoal e profissional através das trocas de aprendizados. Portanto, neste livro intitulado “Arquitetura e engenharia civil contemporânea: inovação, tecnologia e sustentabilidade vol. 4” são compartilhados conhecimentos interdisciplinares adquiridos por cada autor durante o desenvolvimento de seus estudos. A abrangência deste volume envolve diversos temas envolvendo arquitetura,...
This symposium explores emerging trends and novel ideas and concepts covering a broad range of topics in the area of VLSI from VLSI circuits, systems and design methods, to system level design issues, to bringing VLSI design to new areas and technologies such as nano and molecular devices, security, artificial intelligence, and Internet of Things, etc Future design methodologies and new EDA tools are also a key topic at the Symposium This Symposium also features a theme of Smart and Secure Circuits and Systems Over three decades the Symposium has been a unique forum promoting multidisciplinary research and new visionary approaches in the area of VLSI, bringing together leading scientists and researchers from academia and industry
Dynamic Reconfigurable Architectures and Transparent Optimization Techniques presents a detailed study on new techniques to cope with the aforementioned limitations. First, characteristics of reconfigurable systems are discussed in details, and a large number of case studies is shown. Then, a detailed analysis of several benchmarks demonstrates that such architectures need to attack a diverse range of applications with very different behaviours, besides supporting code compatibility. This requires the use of dynamic optimization techniques, such as Binary Translation and Trace reuse. Finally, works that combine both reconfigurable systems and dynamic techniques are discussed and a quantitative analysis of one them, the DIM architecture, is presented.
This book describes several approaches to adaptability that are applied for the optimization of parallel applications, such as thread-level parallelism exploitation and dynamic voltage and frequency scaling on multicore systems. This book explains how software developers can apply a novel technique to adapt the number of threads at runtime without any modification in the source code nor recompilation. This book is useful for software developers in general since it offers realistic examples throughout to demonstrate various techniques presented.
"Brings kids inside the world of music by helping them understand what proficient listeners think and feel as they listen to music, and what musicians think and feel as they play music ... Students construct their own understandings of music, first through an exploration of their personal relationship to music, then through a series of listen and talk sessions, and finally, by composing their own pieces and exploring the connections between their lives and the works of music they create ... All lessons fulfill the National Standards for Music Education"--From publisher description.
The number of, and interest in, quality of life studies has grown dramatically in the last decade. On an ever increasing basis, patients, clinicians, researchers, and health policy regulators are considering quality of life in assessing treatment alternatives. Unfortunately, most discussions of quality of life are narrow in scope -- applying to only one disease group. This unique book represents the concerted effort of experts in academia, federal government health care regulators, and pharmaceutical industry representatives to define the promise and the problems associated with quality of life studies. The issues covered range from cross cutting ones to those that are specific to particular illnesses. Because quality of life takes into consideration such domains as mood, vocation, family, sexual functioning, social participation, and costs, this book will serve as an invaluable companion to readers with an interest in behavioral medicine research.
The conditions and characteristics of correctional facilities - overcrowded with rapid population turnover, often in old and poorly ventilated structures, a spatially concentrated pattern of releases and admissions in low-income communities of color, and a health care system that is siloed from community public health - accelerates transmission of the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) responsible for COVID-19. Such conditions increase the risk of coming into contact with the virus for incarcerated people, correctional staff, and their families and communities. Relative to the general public, moreover, incarcerated individuals have a higher prevalence of chronic health conditions such as asthma,...
