This book focuses on the performance of mobile robots through
the use of multi-hierarchical symbolic representations of the
environment.
To perform deliberative actions, a robot must possess some
symbolic representation of its workspace, but representations of
real environments can become so large that they must be
conveniently arranged to facilitate and, in some cases, make
possible their use. Practical solutions tested on real robots, for
example a robotic wheelchair, are provided.

Agenda 2030, the UN adopted wide-ranging Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs) that integrate development and environmental agendas.
This book focuses on the political tensions between the
environmental objectives and socio-economic aspects of sustainable
development. The collection provides an introduction to
interlinkages, synergies and trade-offs between the ‘green’ and
other goals, such as gender equality and economic growth. It also
considers related goals on cities and partnerships as crucial for
implementing environmentally sound sustainability. Identifying
governance failures and responsibilities, it advocates for a shift
towards cooperative economics and politics for the common good.
It has been stated in psychology that human brain arranges
information in a way that improves efficiency in performing common
tasks, for example, information about our spatial environment is
conveniently structured for efficient route finding. On the other
hand, in computational sciences, the use of hierarchical
information is well known for reducing the complexity of solving
problems. This book studies hierarchical representations of
large-scale space and presents a new model, called Multi-AH-graph,
that uses multiple hierarchies of abstraction. It allows an agent
to represent structural information acquired from the environment
(elements such as objects, free space, etc., relations existing
between them, such as proximity, similarity, etc. and other types
of information, such as colors, shapes, etc). The Multi-AH-graph
model extends a single hierarchy representation to a mUltiple
hierarchy arrangement, which adapts better to a wider range of
tasks, agents, and environments. We also present a system called
CLAUDIA, which is an implementation of the task-driven paradigm for
automatic construction of multiple abstractions: a set of
hierarchies of abstraction will be "good" for an agent if it can
reduce the cost of planning and performing certain tasks of the
agent in the agent's world. CLAUDIA constructs multiple hierarchies
(Multi-AH-graphs) for a given triple , trying to optimize their
"goodness".
Volcanic Rock Mechanics includes papers and special lectures of the
3rd International Workshop on Volcanic Rocks, Rock Mechanics and
Geo-Engineering in Volcanic Environments, which was held within the
framework of the Congress Cities on Volcanoes6-Tenerife 2010
(Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife, Spain, 31 May 4 June 2010). The book
is a comprehensive collection of the most relevant topics related
to rock mechanics and geo-engineering in volcanic environments,
including: - Geomechanical characterization of volcanic materials;-
Instabilities in volcanic islands: Slope stability, large
landslides and collapse phenomena;- Geoengineering and
infrastructures in volcanic environments;- Construction materials.
Volcanic Rock Mechanics is of interests to academics, engineers,
consultants, designers, contractors and professionals involved in
rock mechanics and geo-engineering in volcanic environments.
Learn the five key skills needed to become a quadcopter developer:
design, modeling, control, simulation, and implementation. This
book provides a crash course on drone development for beginners and
can also serve as a comprehensive reference for those who want a
detailed guide for future projects. You'll review key features
often missed in other books: a deeper review of controls, step by
step modeling, and methods for simulating and designing drones.
Although the quadcopter is used as the main example throughout the
book, you'll also see how to apply the development knowledge to
other aircrafts or aerial systems. Highly visual and easy to
understand, this book features Simulink and Matlab tools, but the
skills covered can be used in other environments such as Scilab or
other programming languages. Drones To Go merges maker knowledge
and technical information with scientific knowledge and design
essentials. What You'll Learn Review the main families of control:
geometric, linear, and common dynamic feedback control Understand
the mathematics of a quadcopter Follow step-by-step instructions on
modeling and control equations Focus on pedagogical development to
answer any doubts in the design process Who This Book Is For Makers

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 6th Conference on
Information Technologies and Communication of Ecuador "TIC-EC",
held in Riobamba City from November 21 to 23, 2018, and organized
by Universidad Nacional del Chimborazo (UNACH) and its Engineering
School, and the Ecuadorian Corporation for the Development of
Research and Academia (CEDIA). Considered as one of the most
important ICT conferences in Ecuador, it brought together
international scholars and practitioners to discuss the
development, issues and projections of the use of information and
communication technologies in multiple fields of application.
Presenting high-quality, peer-reviewed papers, the book discusses
the following topics: * Communication networks * Software
engineering * Computer sciences * Architecture * Intelligent
territory management * IT management * Web technologies * ICT in
education * Engineering, industry, and construction with ICT
support * Entrepreneurship and innovation at the Academy: a
business perspective The authors would like to express their
sincere gratitude to the invited speakers for their inspirational
talks, to the authors for submitting their work to this conference,
and the reviewers for sharing their experience during the selection
process.

Clinton is the president and marketing + publishing director for
Hearst magazines Two million people visit Santa Fe annually
Traveller extraordinaire Michael Clinton is back with the second
instalment in his Snaps series that defines sense of place in some
of the world's most beautiful yet essentially unexplored locations.
Following his glimpse into New York's pre-eminent summer
destination - the Hamptons - Clinton travels to Santa Fe, New
Mexico, and captures the essence of what makes this city one of the
most prominent and largest centres for arts and culture in the
world. Here Clinton, the accomplished photographer, uses his unique
eye to transform ordinary, everyday moments into insightful and
inspiring images. From the bronze sculptures that depict the
diverse blend of Spanish, Native American, and Anglo cultures, and
the earth tones of weathered sixteenth-century adobe architecture,
to horses grazing on secluded pastures under brilliant blue skies
and serene views of the freshly changed yellow leaves of the aspens
in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, these illustrious images invite
viewers to contemplate and focus on the small, yet telling moments
that create a larger sense of beauty and wonder. This book will
appeal to anyone who loves Santa Fe, art, or photography, and is
popularly priced and conveniently sized for quick purchase and
carry.

A dynamic stochastic model for colon and rectum cancer is developed
to obtain the optimal ages to perform colonoscopies. The currently
recommended guideline for colonoscopy is to test at ages 50, 60,
70, 80 and 90. Our Monte Carlo simulation yields a cost/life-year
saved of $54,919.62 for the official policy. We ask the following:
if we could reallocate the 5 tests between the ages of 50 and 90,
which ages for testing would give the lowest cost/life-year saved?
Of the 91,309 possible policies 43,026, or 47%, have a better cost
per life-year saved than the currently recommended guidelines. The
policy with the lowest cost is to test at the ages of 64, 71, 73,
79, 85 with a cost of $38,081.37 per life-year saved. An
improvement of 30% in the cost/life-year saved. The framework
developed in this paper can be further used to evaluate the cost
effectiveness of current guidelines for other cancers. The policies
can be personalized by sex and race to have better cost-
effectiveness ratios. Finally, guidelines can be developed to
equate cost per life-year saved across different cancers.
