Comprender del comportamiento del clima, es de interes en diversos sectores de la produccion. En este sentido, el libro presenta resultados de la investigacion que tenia como proposito describir la incidencia ejercida por el clima en los requerimientos de agua del cultivo de la papa en la region central de Boyaca. Para esto, se presenta un modelo que relaciona la intensidad, duracion y frecuencia de las lluvias (IDF), para describir y predecir el comportamiento de la precipitacion, a traves del analisis probabilistico de la informacion registrada en estaciones agroclimatologicas, ubicadas en la cuenca del rio de la region, donde predomina el cultivo objeto de estudio. Posteriormente, se dete...
As humanidades digitais combinam a programação de computadores com o estudo das humanidades em geral. Este livro propõe a linguagem de programação Python para a realização de pesquisas na área de humanidades, desenvolvendo assim possíveis casos em diversas áreas e dando instruções de início nesta linguagem de programação para humanistas. Python para as humanidades digitais oferece instruções desde a instalação dainterface de trabalho, a obtenção de dados emanipulação de dados através de códigos ebibliotecas que podem treinar qualquer humanista novato em programação. Destinado a estudantes de graduação e pósgraduação, professores de humanidades e qualquer pesquisador que tenha interesse em realizar estudos massivos de dados em literatura, história, música, jornalismo, educação, bibliometria, entre outros. Inclui Instruções com exemplos reais de pesquisas em humanidades digitais. Diálogo interdisciplinar e transdisciplinar que permite a criação de pesquisas inovadoras. Abordagem didática feita a partir do trabalho colaborativo de matemáticos e humanistas.
The city is more than demography and architecture, it is a state of mind. Various groups, scenes and subcultures, widely known as "man in the street", shape and are shaped by urban space and its history according to imaginations, nightmares and dreams. Urban anthropologists get immersed in this closely knit fabric of urban culture and conduct field research with all their senses. The reader provides a compact introduction into urban anthropology, which has become the key discipline in exploring cities and city live as sites of encounter, conflict and sensation. It introduces the most influential writers in the field as well as young and upcoming field researchers.With essays by PeterJackson, LesBack, RuthBehar, MoritzEge, RolfLindner, Mirko Zardini, Margarethe Kusenbach, Loic Wacquant.
From the reviews: "This is now the definitive, authoritative text on applied foraminiferal micropaleontology and should be in the library of all practicing micropaleontologists." (William A. Berggren, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Micropaleontology, 47:1 (2001)"During the last 20 years there has been an explosion of publications about foraminifera from an amazing variety of disciplines: basic cell biology, algal symbiosis, biomineralization, biogeography, ecology, pollution, chemical oceanography, geochemistry, paleoceanography, and geology. This book summarizes contributions by leading researchers in these diverse fields. It is not just another text on the biology of foraminifera. Rather, Barun Sen Gupta has accomplished his objective to "write an advanced text for university students that would also serve as a reference book for professionals"." (Howard J. Spero, University of California at Davis in Limnology and Oceanography, 45:8 (2000).

Egypt, and in particular the Cairo Regional Centre for International Commercial Arbitration (CRCICA), has clearly cemented its status as a preferred seat for arbitration cases in both the Middle East–North Africa (MENA) region and the African continent. To assist parties with a need or desire to arbitrate disputes arising in these regions – whether commercial or investment – this incomparable book, the first in-depth treatment in any language of arbitration practice under Egyptian law, provides a comprehensive overview of the arbitration process and all matters pertaining to it in Egypt, starting with the arbitration agreement and ending with the recognition and enforcement of the arbi...
Reservoir Characterization is a collection of papers presented at the Reservoir Characterization Technical Conference, held at the Westin Hotel-Galleria in Dallas on April 29-May 1, 1985. Conference held April 29-May 1, 1985, at the Westin Hotel—Galleria in Dallas. The conference was sponsored by the National Institute for Petroleum and Energy Research, Bartlesville, Oklahoma. Reservoir characterization is a process for quantitatively assigning reservoir properties, recognizing geologic information and uncertainties in spatial variability. This book contains 19 chapters, and begins with the geological characterization of sandstone reservoir, followed by the geological prediction of shale d...
For the last 20 years there has been a growing interest in the geosciences for topics related to geoheritage: geoconservation, geotourism and geoparks. Geoheritage: Assessment, Protection, and Management is the first and only reference book to cover these main topics as well as the relationship of geoheritage to other subjects such as landscapes, conservation, and tourism. The book also includes methodologies for assessment, mapping, and visualisation, along with case studies and colour images of some of the most important global geosites. This book is an essential resource for geoscientists, park and geopark managers, tourism and regional planning managers, as well as university students in...
Telomerase, an enzyme that maintains telomeres and endows eukaryotic cells with immortality, was first discovered in tetrahymena in 1985. In 1990s, it was proven that this enzyme also plays a key role in the infinite proliferation of human cancer cells. Now telomere and telomerase are widely accepted as important factors involved in cancer biology, and as promising diagnostic tools and therapeutic targets. Recently, role of telomerase in “cancer stem cells” has become another attractive story. Until now, there are several good books on telomere and telomerase focusing on biology in ciliates, yeasts, and mouse or basic sciences in human, providing basic scientists or students with updated knowledge.
