Pastoralism is a diffused and ancient form of human subsistence and probably one of the most studied by anthropologists at the crossroads between continuities and transformations. The present critical discourse on sustainable and responsible development implies a change of practices, a huge socio-economic transformation, and the return of new shepherds and herders in different European regions. Transhumance and extensive breeding are revitalized as a potential resource for inner and rural areas of Europe against depopulation and as an efficient form of farming deeply influencing landscape and functioning as a perfect eco-system service. This book is an occasion to reconsider grazing communities’ frictions in the new global heritage scenario.
Parallel computing has been the enabling technology of high-end machines for many years. Now, it has finally become the ubiquitous key to the efficient use of any kind of multi-processor computer architecture, from smart phones, tablets, embedded systems and cloud computing up to exascale computers. _x000D_ This book presents the proceedings of ParCo2013 – the latest edition of the biennial International Conference on Parallel Computing – held from 10 to 13 September 2013, in Garching, Germany. The conference focused on several key parallel computing areas. Themes included parallel programming models for multi- and manycore CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs and heterogeneous platforms, the performance e...
En este libro se presentan los contenidos relativos a las comunicaciones presentadas en las XXIII Jornadas Internacionales de Fitosociología celebradas en Toledo del 19 al 21 de septiembre de 2012. Las Jornadas se han organizado en torno a siete sesiones: 1) cambio climático, 2) vegetación del mundo (América y África), 3) aplicaciones en conservación de especies y hábitats, 4-5) clasificación y caracterización de la vegetación (I and II), 6) restauración ecológica y otras aplicaciones y 7) fitosociología y taxonomía. Además se incluye un capítulo con la Guía de la Ex-cursión de las XXIII Jornadas Internacionales de Fitosociología llevada a cabo en la provincia de Toledo y otro capítulo con la descripción de las comunidades vegetales de la provincia de Toledo y su clasificación sintaxonómica.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Workshop on Architectures, Modeling, and Simulation, SAMOS 2009, held on Samos, Greece, on July 20-23, 2009. The 18 regular papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 52 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on architectures for multimedia, multi/many cores architectures, VLSI architectures design, architecture modeling and exploration tools. In addition there are 14 papers from three special sessions which were organized on topics of current interest: instruction-set customization, reconfigurable computing and processor architectures, and mastering cell BE and GPU execution platforms.
El presente libro, coordinado por Santiago Reyna, profesor de la Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, constituye, gracias a la colaboración de numerosos investigadores y técnicos españoles y extranjeros especializados en temas trufícolas, una amplia revisión de los conocimientos actuales en el conjunto de materias relacionadas con la truficultura. En total han colaborado 26 autores de 7 países, pertenecientes a 15 universidades, centros de investigación o empresas diferentes. La primera edición, ya agotada, fue galardonada en la XXXVI edición del premio al mejor libro agrario de la Fira Agricola de LLeida, único premio que se otorga para este tipo de publicaciones en España.
