A Ditadura Militar e a Governança da Água no Brasil (The Military Dictatorship and Water Governance in Brazil) Ideologia Poderes Político-E

A Ditadura Militar e a Governança da Água no Brasil (The Military Dictatorship and Water Governance in Brazil) Ideologia Poderes Político-E

In recent decades there has been an exponential increase in large hydroelectric plants in Brazil especially in the Amazon region. These large hydraulic structures impact the environment and the lives of people living in the places where they settle and require a special type of water governance. The dictatorial regime (1964-1985) created a standard for the construction of these great structures through an institutional and legal framework which benefited the Brazilian business elite but also through the creation of a popular imagination which shows itself lasting progress on the country's progress and development. The suspension of security the fragility of institutional environmental structures the disrespect for indigenous reserves the lack of clarity about the concept of affected population and the non-payment of fair compensation were identified as one of the main challenges for a democratic water governance in the country. In the late 1970s the Dam-Affected Movement (MAB) began its organization and is also studied in this research. The study is an important and insightful academic contribution to the understanding of the main bottlenecks of effective water governance in Brazil. | A Ditadura Militar e a Governança da Água no Brasil (The Military Dictatorship and Water Governance in Brazil) Ideologia Poderes Político-E

Current Perspectives and New Directions in Mechanics Modelling and Design of Structural Systems Proceedings of The Eighth International Con

Current Perspectives and New Directions in Mechanics Modelling and Design of Structural Systems Proceedings of The Eighth International Con

Current Perspectives and New Directions in Mechanics Modelling and Design of Structural Systems comprises 330 papers that were presented at the Eighth International Conference on Structural Engineering Mechanics and Computation (SEMC 2022 Cape Town South Africa 5-7 September 2022). The topics featured may be clustered into six broad categories that span the themes of mechanics modelling and engineering design: (i) mechanics of materials (elasticity plasticity porous media fracture fatigue damage delamination viscosity creep shrinkage etc); (ii) mechanics of structures (dynamics vibration seismic response soil-structure interaction fluid-structure interaction response to blast and impact response to fire structural stability buckling collapse behaviour); (iii) numerical modelling and experimental testing (numerical methods simulation techniques multi-scale modelling computational modelling laboratory testing field testing experimental measurements); (iv) design in traditional engineering materials (steel concrete steel-concrete composite aluminium masonry timber); (v) innovative concepts sustainable engineering and special structures (nanostructures adaptive structures smart structures composite structures glass structures bio-inspired structures shells membranes space structures lightweight structures etc); (vi) the engineering process and life-cycle considerations (conceptualisation planning analysis design optimization construction assembly manufacture maintenance monitoring assessment repair strengthening retrofitting decommissioning). Two versions of the papers are available: full papers of length 6 pages are included in an e-book while short papers of length 2 pages intended to be concise but self-contained summaries of the full papers are in this printed book. This work will be of interest to civil structural mechanical marine and aerospace engineers as well as planners and architects. | Current Perspectives and New Directions in Mechanics Modelling and Design of Structural Systems Proceedings of The Eighth International Con

Introduction to Econophysics Contemporary Approaches with Python Simulations

Introduction to Econophysics Contemporary Approaches with Python Simulations

Econophysics explores the parallels between physics and economics and is an exciting topic that is attracting increasing attention. However there is a lack of literature that explains the topic from a broad perspective. This book introduces advanced undergraduates and graduate students in physics and engineering to the topic from this outlook and is accompanied by rigorous mathematics which ensures that this will also be a good guide for established researchers in the field as well as researchers from other fields such as mathematics and statistics who are interested in the topic. Key features: Presents a multidisciplinary approach that will be of interest to students and researchers from physics engineering mathematics statistics and other physical sciences Accompanied by Python code with further learning opportunities available for readers to download from the CRC Press website. Accessible to both students and researchers Carlo R. da Cunha is an associate professor of physics and engineering physics at the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil) and has been since 2011. Dr. da Cunha received his M. Sc. Degree from the West Virginia University in 2001 and his Ph. D. degree from Arizona State University in 2005. He was a postdoctoral researcher at McGill University in Canada in 2006 and an assistant professor of engineering at the University Federal de Santa Catarina between 2007 and 2011. He has been a guest professor at the Technische Universität Wien (Austria) Chiba University (Japan) and Arizona State University (US). His research revolves around the physics of complex systems where he has been drawing parallels between physical and economic systems from quantum to social levels.

Viral Pathogenesis in Diagrams

Viral Pathogenesis in Diagrams

Viral Pathogenesis in Diagrams is the first book of its kind to illustrate viral pathogenesis on a comparative basis. The text covers the pathogenesis of viral diseases including vertebrates invertebrates plants and protists. The diagrams summarize and integrate large numbers of observations from electron microscopy to clinical data into a single picture or a few related drawings. Organized alphabetically by virus family or groups this book covers the complete domain of virology. Transcending photographs and experimental data the diagrams are ideally suited to illustrate the pathogenesis of viral diseases from infection to host defenses and cell death. Included are two chapters describing general pathogenesis in vertebrate virus infections and illustrating the spread of viruses through the body as well as cytopathology and host defenses. One chapter illustrates the pathogenic behavior of 19 vertebrate virus families especially herpesviruses and retroviruses. The 268 diagrams in Viral Pathogenesis in Diagrams were selected from over 800 diagrams of English and French virological literature including one derived from a famous drawing by Leonardo da Vinci. This up-to-date reference will promote understanding and future research.
