technologies and machine vision.
As technology continues to develop, certain innovations are
beginning to cover a wide range of applications, specifically
mobile robotic systems. The boundaries between the various
automation methods and their implementations are not strictly
defined, with overlaps occurring. Specificity is required regarding
the research and development of android systems and how they
pertain to modern science. Control and Signal Processing
Applications for Mobile and Aerial Robotic Systems is a pivotal
reference source that provides vital research on the current state
of control and signal processing of portable robotic designs. While
highlighting topics such as digital systems, control theory, and
mathematical methods, this publication explores original inquiry
contributions and the instrumentation of mechanical systems in the
industrial and scientific fields. This book is ideally designed for
technicians, engineers, industry specialists, researchers,
academicians, and students seeking current research on today's
execution of mobile robotic schemes.
In this book, the authors focus on efficient ways to program
instrumentation and automation systems using LabVIEW (TM), a system
design platform and development environment commonly used for data
acquisition, instrument control, and industrial automation on a
variety of operating systems. Starting with the concepts of data
flow and concurrent programming, the authors go on to address the
development of state machines, event programming and consumer
producer systems. Chapters cover the following topics: Introduction
to LabVIEW (TM), debugging tools, structures, SubVIs, structures -
LabVIEW (TM) features, organizing front panel and block diagram,
using software resources, using hardware resources, implementing
test machines with a basic architecture, controlling the user
interface, error handling, responding to the user interactions, the
ATM review project, communication between loops at different rates,
preventing race conditions, advanced use of software resources, and
real-time programming. This book helps undergraduate and graduate
students learn how to identify the most suitable design patterns
depending on the application, and how to implement them in
conjunction with data acquisition and instrumentation control
systems. It is also a helpful resource for engineers and scientists
who want to implement binary files to record data, control the user
interface and implement efficient ways of programming.
As the climate emergency intensifies, rights-based climate cases -
litigation that is based on human rights law - are becoming an
increasingly important tool for securing more ambitious climate
action. This book is the first to offer a systematic analysis of
the universe of these cases known as human rights and climate
change (HRCC) cases. By combining theory, empirical documentation,
and strategic debate among preeminent scholars and practitioners
from around the world, the book captures the roots, legal
innovations, empirical richness, impact, and challenges of this
dynamic field of sociolegal practice. It looks specifically at the
sociolegal origins and trajectory of HRCC cases, the legal
innovations of this type of litigation, and the strategies and
impacts of these cases. In doing so, this book equips litigators,
researchers, practitioners, students, and concerned citizens with
an understanding of an important method of holding governments and
corporations accountable for climate harms. This book is also
available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
This book is an empirical study of contributions by courts in the
Global South to comparative constitutionalism. It offers an
analytical framework for understanding these constitutional
innovations and illustrates them with a qualitative study of the
most ambitious case in constitutional adjudication in Latin America
over the last decade: the Colombian Constitutional Court's
structural injunction affecting the rights of over five million
internally displaced people and its implementation process.
Although the ruling (known as T25) was handed down in 2004, its
monitoring process continues. This book traces the case's evolution
from its origin to its effects on policy, politics and public
opinion. It also compares the implementation and effects of T25
with those of other rulings on the rights to health, food, housing,
and prison overcrowding in Colombia, India and South Africa. The
study's insights will be of interest to scholars of comparative
constitutionalism in Latin America, Africa and Asia.
The regulation of business in the global economy poses one of the
main challenges for governance, as illustrated by the dynamic
scholarly and policy debates about the UN Guiding Principles on
Business and Human Rights and a possible international treaty on
the matter. This book takes on the conceptual and legal
underpinnings of global governance approaches to business and human
rights, with an emphasis on the Guiding Principles (GPs) and
attention to the current treaty process. Analyses of the GPs have
tended to focus on their static dimension, such as the standards
they include, rather than on their capacity to change, to push the
development of new norms, and practices that might go beyond the
initial content of the GPs and improve corporate compliance with
human rights. This book engages both the static and dynamic
dimensions of the GPs, and considers the issue through the eyes of
scholars and practitioners from different parts of the world.
The past few decades have witnessed an explosion of judgments on
social rights around the world. However, we know little about
whether these rulings have been implemented. Social Rights
Judgments and the Politics of Compliance is the first book to
engage in a comparative study of compliance of social rights
judgments as well as their broader effects. Covering fourteen
different domestic and international jurisdictions, and drawing on
multiple disciplines, it finds significant variance in outcomes and
reveals both spectacular successes and failures in making social
rights a reality on the ground. This variance is strikingly similar
to that found in previous studies on civil rights, and the key
explanatory factors lie in the political calculus of defendants and
the remedial framework. The book also discusses which strategies
have enhanced implementation, and focuses on judicial reflexivity,
alliance building and social mobilisation.

While Latin America accounts for approximately 7 percent of the
world economy, easily accessible information on the economies of
the region is not always easy to find. The existing literature on
Latin American economics usually assumes some previous familiarity
with the region and is focused on government policy choices. The
Economies of Latin America is a book for the general reader needing
a quick introduction to the economics of the region. The book is
composed of three parts: the first explains Latin America's
economic history and a description of the central economic
challenges of the region. The second offers country-specific
details. The final part deals with the economic future of the
region where the authors put forth a Latin American version of
success. This book is a useful, in-depth introduction for students
of Latin American economics as well as the general reader.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th
Ibero-American Conference on Artificial Intelligence, IBERAMIA
2022, held in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia, in November 2022. The
33 full and 4 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and
selected from 67 submissions. The papers are organized in the
following topical sections: applications of AI; ethics and smart
city; green and sustainable AI; machine learning; natural language
processing; robotics and computer vision; simulation and
forecasting.
This book focusses on the debates concerning aspects of
intellectual property law that bear on access to medicines in a set
of developing countries. Specifically, the contributors look at
measures that regulate the acquisition, recognition, and use of
patent rights on pharmaceuticals and trade secrets in data
concerning them, along with the conditions under which these rights
expire so as to permit the production of cheaper generic drugs. In
addition, the book includes commentary from scholars in human
rights, international institutions, and transnational activism. The
case studies presented from 11 Latin American countries, have many
commonalities in terms of economics, legal systems, and political
histories, and yet they differ in the balance each has struck
between proprietary interests and access concerns. The book
documents this cross-country variation in legal norms and practice,
identifies the factors that have led to differences in result, and
theorizes as to how differentials among these countries occur and
why they endure within a common transnational regulatory regime.
The work concludes by putting the results of the investigations
into a global administrative law frame and offers suggestions on
institutional mechanisms for considering the trade-offs between
health and wealth.
