Amazonia and Global Change
Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 186. Amazonia and Global Change synthesizes results of the Large-Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere Experiment in Amazonia (LBA) for scientists and students of Earth system science and global environmental change. LBA, led by Brazil, asks how Amazonia currently functions in the global climate and biogeochemical systems and how the functioning of Amazonia will respond to the combined pressures of climate and land use change, such as Wet season and dry season aerosol concentrations and their effects on diffuse radiation and photosynthesis Increasing greenhouse gas concentration, deforestation, widespread bi...
The MANTIS Book
In recent years, a considerable amount of effort has been devoted, both in industry and academia, to improving maintenance. Time is a critical factor in maintenance, and efforts are placed to monitor, analyze, and visualize machine or asset data in order to anticipate to any possible failure, prevent damage, and save costs. The MANTIS Book aims to highlight the underpinning fundamentals of Condition-Based Maintenance related conceptual ideas, an overall idea of preventive maintenance, the economic impact and technical solution. The core content of this book describes the outcome of the Cyber-Physical System based Proactive Collaborative Maintenance project, also known as MANTIS, and funded b...
Marine Phenolics
Phenolic compounds are an extremely diverse class of ubiquitous secondary metabolites produced by a variety of organisms playing different biological roles. They have numerous types of demonstrated bioactivities, including antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antitumoral, immunomodulator, neuroprotective, cardioprotective, and antidiabetic activities. Marine organisms produce a vast collection of unique phenolic structures, some of them not found in terrestrial habitats. Progress in different aspects is rapidly advancing, and this Special Issue will provide updated information and recent studies on marine phenolics. Specially, this issue is focused on their chemical characterization, elucidation of their structures, evaluation of their biological properties and mechanisms of action, efficient extraction and purification technologies, development of value-added applications, as well as formulation of novel products.
Handbook of Research on the Impacts, Challenges, and Policy Responses to Overtourism
In recent years, the increasing number of tourists traveling to specific urban and resort destinations has caused challenges for the effective management of tourism in these areas, with a resulting negative impact on towns, cities, and host communities. Such issues have included placing undue pressure on infrastructure; destruction of the physical, economic, and socio-cultural environment; and affecting the quality of residents’ daily lives by impacting their mobility and, in some cases, the price and rent of resident accommodation, goods, and services. To achieve a certain level of balance between the interests of local residents and visitors, new regulatory measures and legislation in hi...
Carnaval sem fronteiras: as escolas de samba e suas artes mundo afora
Os prazeres da pesquisa e a graça dos carnavais se associam neste livro, que abre novos horizontes para a abordagem das artes e dos saberes das escolas de samba no Brasil e no mundo. A obra reúne um bloco de estudiosos com temas que vão do carnaval dos Pampas, de Cabo Verde e do Recife à percussão de samba em Nova York; da visualidade feérica no teatro de revista a utopias, temas e gêneros literários nos sambas e enredos carnavalescos; das trocas culturais entre mestres-sala e porta-bandeiras e entre artistas das alegorias do carnaval e do Bumbá de Parintins aos laços entre futebol e escolas de samba. Antropologia, Letras e Artes encontram-se em um desfile que nada deixa a desejar ...
Technological Learning and Competitive Performance
'This book is an impressive, original and substantive contribution to the literature on capability development in "latecomer" firms. It furthers and deepens understanding of the intricate processes of technological learning and provides insights into the organisational needs of learning, and the interactions between particular strategies for learning. The amount of new empirical material is impressive, well presented and carefully analysed. The work can become a benchmark for future studies of capability building.' - The late Sanjaya Lall, Oxford University (at the International Development Centre at Queen Elizabeth House), UK Paulo Figueiredo comprehensively examines how and why latecomer companies differ in the manner and rate at which they accumulate technological capability over time. He focuses on how key features of the underlying learning processes influence the paths of technological capability accumulation and, in turn, the rate of improvement in operational performance.

Rethinking the Andes–Amazonia Divide
Nowhere on Earth is there an ecological transformation so swift and so extreme as between the snow-line of the high Andes and the tropical rainforest of Amazonia. The different disciplines that research the human past in South America have long tended to treat these two great subzones of the continent as self-contained enough to be taken independently of each other. Objections have repeatedly been raised, however, to warn against imagining too sharp a divide between the people and societies of the Andes and Amazonia, when there are also clear indications of significant connections and transitions between them. Rethinking the Andes–Amazonia Divide brings together archaeologists, linguists, ...
Festas, religiosidades e africanidades no Amazonas
A obra aborda aspectos fundamentais para um debate qualificado e ético sobre as diásporas negras presentes na Amazônia, com especial destaque para as festas, religiosidades e elementos outros que ajudem a compreender a presença africana na região. Frutos de pesquisadores e pesquisadoras que dedicaram suas vidas ao estudo desses temas, a obra é imprescindível para quem queira não somente compreender as presenças de negros e negras no norte brasileiro, mas também para aqueles e aquelas que acreditem em um projeto de sociedade antirracista, inclusivo e equitativo.
