Italian by birth, this street urchin lived a life of extreme poverty until he escaped to Brazil--where he cast off his roots, took a new name and pulled himself up from the streets. Now Rio D'Aquila is beyond wealthy, with a reputation for being uncompromising in business...and incomparable in bed But on meeting vulnerable Isabella Orsini, he feels something deep within him stir, and he finds himself pretending to be that long-forgotten man. Passion flares and their affair spirals, but Isabella still doesn't know that her lover has lied to her. Who is the real Rio D'Aquila?
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Software Architecture, ECSA 2023, held in Istanbul, Turkey, in September 2023. The 16 full papers and the 9 short papers included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 71 submissions. They address the most recent, innovative, and significant findings and experiences in the field of software architecture research and practice.
This book constitutes revised selected papers from the thoroughly refereed conference proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Innovative Security Solutions for Information Technology and Communications, SecITC 2021, which was held virtually in November 2021. The 22 full papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 40 submissions. They deal with emergent topics in security and privacy from different communities.
The most authoritative publication in nearly fifty years on the subject of conserving paintings on canvas. In 2019, Yale University, with the support of the Getty Foundation, held an international conference, where nearly four hundred attendees from more than twenty countries gathered to discuss a vital topic: how best to conserve paintings on canvas. It was the first major symposium on the subject since 1974, when wax-resin and glue-paste lining reigned as the predominant conservation techniques. Over the past fifty years, such methods, which were often destructive to artworks, have become less widely used in favor of more minimalist approaches to intervention. More recent decades have witn...
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 10th International Joint Conference on Software Technologies, ICSOFT 2015, held in Colmar, France, in July 2015. The 23 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 117 submissions. The papers are organized around the following conference tracks: enterprise software technologies; software project management; software engineering methods and techniques; distributed and mobile software systems.
This book presents a new set of devices for accurate investigation of human finger stiffness and force distribution in grasping tasks. The ambitious goal of this research is twofold, the first is to advance the state of the art on human strategies in manipulation tasks and provide tools to assess rehabilitation procedure and the second is to investigate human strategies for impedance control that can be used for human robot interaction and control of myoelectric prosthesis. Part one describes two types of systems that are able to achieve a complete set of measurements on force distribution and contact point locations. The effectiveness of these devices in grasp analysis is also experimentall...

The last century has been characterized by the development of information theory and the consequent transformative impact of new technologies on societies around the world. It seems likely that the tremendous progress in nanoscience – the ability to manipulate microscopic systems at the level of a single atom – and the emergence of quantum information science, will be the key components of the next revolution; that of the new quantum technologies. Indeed, the ability to manipulate and control quantum systems has already found a variety of potential applications, ranging from the development of molecular nanoscale machines which exploit quantum coherence for their functioning, to metrolog...
