This is the third volume of the proceedings of the 8th International Congress on Environmental Geotechnics (ICEG 2018), held on October 28 - November 1, 2018 in Hangzhou, China. The theme of the congress is “Towards a Sustainable Geoenvironment”, which means meeting the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Under this theme, the congress covers a broad range of topics and provides an excellent opportunity for academics, engineers, scientists, government officials, regulators, and planners to present, discuss and exchange notes on the latest advances and developments in the research and application of environmental geotechnics.

Trata-se de uma obra importante que reúne temas afeitos aos estudos de assentamentos rurais e que contribuem para aplicação do conhecimento geográfico sobre o tema. O ambiente físico (geossistemas e paisagem), a geografia humana (topofilia, topofobia, identidade dos assentados), o território, a extensão rural agroecológica, entre outros, são alguns conceitos/temas explorados que, na forma de estudos locais, são apresentados na obra. Os espaços-lugares-territórios na forma de assentamentos rurais precisam ser discutidos e melhor conhecidos pela geografia e pela população brasileira. O livro em questão colabora neste sentido propiciando melhor instrumentação teórica e metodológica, oriunda de trabalhos e discussões acadêmicas. Ela vem para aprofundar as discussões e contribuir para novas pesquisas e debates.
In a globalised world, the international economic crisis that started in 2008 has led to structural changes in the international system and in the balance of power, in several terms: from a unipolar to a multipolar sphere; from the 'post-modern state' to the 'sovereign state'; from unrestricted integration in the global economy to the independent management of economy itself; and, from trade integration at a global level to the fragmentation of the economic space in regional areas. In short, the transition from a unipolar to a multipolar trend seems to be reflected in the increasing fragmentation of the economic space and has repercussions in the strategic space and security. These changes a...

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.
Políticas Públicas e Tecnologias Sociais de Convivência com o Semiárido Brasileiro, aborda, considerando contextos distintos, resultados importantes de pesquisas realizadas a respeito da institucionalização das tecnologias de convivência com o semiárido, e as relações estabelecidas com o poder público. A obra é dividida com base em duas questões centrais de pesquisa; processo de conformação das tecnologias de convivência com o semiárido e o processo de seleção, negociação, formatação e eventualmente legitimação das tecnologias de convivência com o semiárido, até que se transformem em políticas públicas.
An evidence based account of how to recognise and diagnose pathological lesions in human remains.
Historically, natural products have great relevance for the development of new drugs. Natural molecules, in addition to directly providing new compounds with different therapeutic functions have provided scaffolds and a great diversity of structures that serve as inspiration for the design and discovery of new drugs. The great structural complexity and the significant number of natural compounds that can be obtained and their advantages also present some historical problems that need to be overcome. Issues such as difficulty in isolation, difficulty in synthesizing compounds found in nature in the laboratory, screening to evaluate the biological properties of these compounds, and structural ...
In some cases, technology-based projects have revolutionized the way of living by contributing to job and wealth creation. These types of ventures, regardless of their outstanding relevance, are the exception rather than the norm in that they account for only a very small percentage of entrepreneurial activity. Although not ignoring these important ventures, the main goal of this title is to fully unleash the wide potential of the entrepreneurial activity, exploring and highlighting the somewhat hidden part, which is ultimately responsible for the largest part of new businesses and, as a consequence, for the wellbeing of millions of people virtually everywhere. The Handbook of Research on Ap...
