Bioactive Lipids presents the topic of bioactive lipids from a
functional food development perspective. This book explores the
potential of dietary lipids to understand how such bioactive
compounds can be used in the development of functional foods and
nutraceuticals. The book includes case studies to enable readers to
understand the potential of several dietary lipids and the
possibilities regarding their incorporation into several food
matrices. Bioactive Lipids will be a welcome reference for
researchers, lecturers and students from the food science and
nutrition fields.
The query optimization problem has been widely addressed in
Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS). Many strategies
have been implemented to solve this problem including deterministic
algorithms, randomized algorithms, meta-heuristic algorithms and
hybrid approaches. This book provides a literature review that
includes solutions to the join-ordering problem using simulated
annealing, genetic algorithms and ant colony optimization. Such
methodologies deeply depend on the correct configuration of various
input parameters. This book also introduces a new meta-heuristic
approach based on the automata theory adapted to solve the
join-ordering problem. The proposed method requires only a single
input parameter that facilitates its usage respect to other
methods. The algorithm was embedded into PostgreSQL and compared
with the genetic competitor using random and star database schemas.
Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject Economics - Case
Scenarios, grade: 1.3, Otto Beisheim School of Management
Vallendar, language: English, abstract: This paper analyzes the
path that Brazil's economy has taken to reach today's status; the
status of a stable economy that shows high potential to meet the
challenging expectations that economists set on it. The idea is to
source the roots of the economic stability and performance of Latin
America's largest country and to highlight the implications it will
have in the near and remote future. Chapter 2 focuses on the Real
Plan launched in 1994. A set of reforms which transformed Brazil's
economy from a protected economy facing four-digit inflation rates
into a stable economy capable of competing with developed
economies. It discusses the implementation of the Real Plan, its
measures and its positive and negative consequences for the
Brazilian economy. Furthermore we are going to deal with the recent
past of Brazil's economy since the presidential elections in 2002,
when the leader of the workers' party Lula da Silva was elected. We
focus on the economic policy of the president and its government,
whose election has almost led to the default of the Brazilian state
because financial markets were afraid that the socialist candidate
would pursue a 180 degree turn compared to the neoliberal economic
policy of his predecessor. We analyze why Brazil was one of the
last countries being affected by the financial crisis and why it
was one of the first to leave it behind.
