Las organizaciones juegan un papel trascendente en el desarrollo de un país. El Índice de Competitividad Mundial (ICM) del Instituto Internacional para el Desarrollo Gerencial (IMD), que analiza la competitividad de varios países, en 2021 ubicó a México en el puesto 55 de 63 países evaluados, destacando la posición 47 en el eje temático de eficiencia empresarial, es claro que existe un gran desafío para toda organización de buscar estratégias para lograr un mayor desarrollo y competitividad. Es así como la gestión administrativa se convierte en la base para ejecutar de manera óptima los procesos, mejorar las actividades, hacer un uso eficiente de los recursos y, en última inst...
This book gathers the proceedings of the 3rd Latin American Congress on Automation and Robotics, held at Monterrey, Mexico, on November 17–19, 2021. This book presents recent advances in the modeling, design, control, and development of autonomous and robotic systems and explores current exciting applications and future challenges of these technologies. The scope of this book covers a wide range of research fields associated with automation and robotics encountered within engineering, scientific research, and practice. These topics are related to autonomous systems, industrial automation and robotics, modelling and systems identification, simulation procedures and experimental validations, control theory, artificial intelligence, computer vision, sensing and sensor fusion, multi-robot and multi-agent systems, field and service robotics, human robot interaction and interfaces, modelling of robotic systems, and the design of new robotic platforms.
Germination: Types, Process and Effects is a book that brings together the contribution of new and relevant information from many experts in the fields of food and biological sciences, nutrition, and food engineering, to provide the reader with the latest information of fundamental and applied research in the role of edible seeds and discuss the benefits of consuming them. In this book, you will find relevant information regarding origin and taxonomy of seeds, global markets, physicochemical composition and the effect of edible seeds germination on chronic degenerative diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, inflammation and arthritis. This book will be of great interest to food scientist, biologists, nutritionists, and food engineers who are particularly interested in the process, changes and contribution of seed germination to food security.
The handbook provides an understanding of consolidated processing and biorefinery systems for the production of bio-based chemicals and value-added bioproducts from renewable sources. The chapters look at a variety of bioenergy technological advances and improvements in the energy and materials sectors that aim to lower our dependence of fossil fuels and consequently reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The volume looks at a selection of processes for the production of energy and biomaterials, including the Fischer–Tropsch process, gasification, pyrolysis, combustion, fermentation from renewable sources (such as, plants, animals and their byproducts), and others. Applications that are ex...
This book constitutes the proceedings of the XV Multidisciplinary International Congress on Science and Technology (CIT 2020), held in Quito, Ecuador, on 26–30 October 2020, proudly organized by Universidad de las Fuerzas Armadas ESPE in collaboration with GDEON. CIT is an international event with a multidisciplinary approach that promotes the dissemination of advances in Science and Technology research through the presentation of keynote conferences. In CIT, theoretical, technical, or application works that are research products are presented to discuss and debate ideas, experiences, and challenges. Presenting high-quality, peer-reviewed papers, the book discusses the following topics: Artificial Intelligence Computational Modeling Data Communications Defense Engineering Innovation, Technology, and Society Managing Technology & Sustained Innovation, and Business Development Modern Vehicle Technology Security and Cryptography Software Engineering
In My Body Is a Book of Rules, Elissa Washuta corrals the synaptic gymnastics of her teeming bipolar brain, interweaving pop culture with neurobiology and memories of sexual trauma to tell the story of her fight to calm her aching mind and slip beyond the tormenting cycles of memory.
This book constitutes refereed proceedings of the 8th Conference on Information and Communication Technologies of Ecuador, TICEC 2020, held in November 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the conference was held online. The 36 full and 7 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 117 qualified submissions. The papers are organized according to the following topical sections: biomedical sensors and wearables systems; data science; ICT ́s applications; industry 4.0; smart cities; software development; technology and environment.
