This contributed volume presents relevant examples of socio-environmental research that highlight the challenges and opportunities of using geotechnologies in interdisciplinary settings across the vast, culturally, and environmentally mega-diverse region known as Latin America. While remote sensing has been mostly used for mapping and monitoring physical features, geographic information systems open up opportunities for the integration of socio-economic and environmental data collected through individual and community-based surveys, in-situ measurements, and other participatory research techniques to offer additional analytically grounded power when evaluating socio-environmental processes t...
The existence of life at high temperatures is quiet fascinating. At elevated temperatures, only microorganisms are capable of growth and survival. Many thermophilic microbial genera have been isolated from man-made (washing machines, factory effluents, waste streams and acid mine effluents) and natural (volcanic areas, geothermal areas, terrestrial hot springs, submarine hydrothermal vents, geothermally heated oil reserves and oil wells, sun-heated litter and soils/sediments) thermal habitats throughout the world. Both culture-dependent and culture-independent approaches have been employed for understanding the diversity of microbes in hot environments. Interest in their diversity, ecology, ...
This book presents the select proceedings of the Virtual Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction (VCDRR 2021). It emphasizes on the role of civil engineering for a disaster resilient society. It presents latest research on climate change and water security focusing on disaster risk reduction. Various topics covered in this book are climate change, stormwater management, flood risk analysis, drought management, water treatment, etc. This book is a comprehensive volume on disaster risk reduction (DRR) and its management for a sustainable built environment. This book is useful for the students, researchers, policy makers and professionals working in the area of civil engineering, climate change and disaster management.
This book constitutes the refereed conference proceedings of the 25th International Conference on Language Processing and Knowledge in the Web, GSCL 2013, held in Darmstadt, Germany, in September 2013. The 20 revised full papers were carefully selected from numerous submissions and cover topics on language processing and knowledge in the Web on several important dimensions, such as computational linguistics, language technology, and processing of unstructured textual content in the Web.
Por que a Assembleia de Deus no Brasil não usa cruz em suas fachadas? Como surgiu o perfil conservador em relação a usos e costumes, que caracteriza a identidade assembleiana? Quando e por que a Assembleia de Deus começou a usar o rádio na evangelização? E a televisão?

Apresentar um livro é sempre uma responsabilidade e muito desafiador, principalmente por nele conter tanto de cada autor, de cada pesquisa, suas aspirações, suas expectativas, seus achados e o mais importante de tudo a disseminação do conhecimento produzido cientificamente. Nesta coletânea de “Segurança Pública e Direitos Humanos no Amazonas”, abrange diversas áreas da segurança pública, cidadania e direitos humanos, refletindo a percepção de vários autores. Portanto, a organização deste livro é resultado dos estudos desenvolvidos por diversos pesquisadores e que tem como finalidade ampliar o conhecimento aplicado às áreas de segurança pública, cidadania e direitos h...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th Extended Semantic Web Conference, ESWC 2014, held in Anissaras, Portoroz, Slovenia, in May/June 2015. The 43 revised full papers presented together with three invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 164 submissions. This program was completed by a demonstration and poster session, in which researchers had the chance to present their latest results and advances in the form of live demos. In addition, the PhD Symposium program included 12 contributions, selected out of 16 submissions. The core tracks of the research conference were complemented with new tracks focusing on linking machine and human computation at web sca...
