This book provides the basis of a formal language and explores its possibilities in the characterization of multiplex networks. Armed with the formalism developed, the authors define structural metrics for multiplex networks. A methodology to generalize monoplex structural metrics to multiplex networks is also presented so that the reader will be able to generalize other metrics of interest in a systematic way. Therefore, this book will serve as a guide for the theoretical development of new multiplex metrics. Furthermore, this Brief describes the spectral properties of these networks in relation to concepts from algebraic graph theory and the theory of matrix polynomials. The text is rounded off by analyzing the different structural transitions present in multiplex systems as well as by a brief overview of some representative dynamical processes. Multiplex Networks will appeal to students, researchers, and professionals within the fields of network science, graph theory, and data science.
Este livro é resultado dos estudos realizados no âmbito do Projeto de Pesquisa: Relações entre Educação, Tecnologia, Humanismo e Ética. A educação, compreendida em seu sentido mais amplo, é o processo histórico de humanização. Nesse sentido, abordar as relações entre educação, tecnologia, humanismo e ética é tratar do processo humanizador considerando sua amplitude e complexidade.
Este livro faz integra a série de publicações anuais do Programa de Pós-Graduação Profissional em Educação e Novas Tecnologias (PPGENT-UNINTER), que completa uma década neste ano corrente. Atento aos ares de nosso tempo, o volume reúne trabalhos preocupados com os impactos da tecnologia na educação contemporânea e, não menos importante, nas relações humanas. Compõe a obra artigos que abordam como as instituições de ensino (superiores e básicas) têm sido atravessadas pela realidade tecnológica, trazendo uma série de desafios, tais como: Garantia da inclusão digital dos alunos; Equidade educacional; Promoção de políticas públicas; Marcos regulatórios; Formação continuada docente; Tecnologias generativas e viradas disruptivas em processos tradicionais de ensino, aprendizagem e produção de conhecimento. O leitor também encontrará debates humanísticos em perspectiva sociológica, filosófica e histórica, demarcando as problemáticas e desafios desta sociedade atual, que tem como traço de historicidade a ubiquidade das novas tecnologias, afetando para o bem ou para o mal as sociabilidades contemporâneas.
Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.
A pedagogical review of the mathematical modelling in fluid dynamics necessary to understand the motility of most microorganisms on Earth.
Research has clearly established a link between omega fatty acids and general health, particularly cardiovascular health. Omega Fatty Acids in Brain and Neurological Health, Second Edition, illustrates the importance of omega-3 fatty acids in longevity, cognitive impairment and structure and function of the brain's neurons and also the adverse effects of omega-6 fatty acids on neurological function. This book encompasses some of the most recent research on the links between omega fatty acids and the developing brain, aging, dementia, Alzheimer's disease and multiple sclerosis, including the role of omega-3 fatty acid supplements on hippocampal neurogenesis, substantia nigra modulation, migra...
Class-tested and coherent, this textbook teaches classical and web information retrieval, including web search and the related areas of text classification and text clustering from basic concepts. It gives an up-to-date treatment of all aspects of the design and implementation of systems for gathering, indexing, and searching documents; methods for evaluating systems; and an introduction to the use of machine learning methods on text collections. All the important ideas are explained using examples and figures, making it perfect for introductory courses in information retrieval for advanced undergraduates and graduate students in computer science. Based on feedback from extensive classroom experience, the book has been carefully structured in order to make teaching more natural and effective. Slides and additional exercises (with solutions for lecturers) are also available through the book's supporting website to help course instructors prepare their lectures.
