This book is dedicated to the analysis of parametric amplification
with special emphasis on the MOS discrete-time implementation. This
implementation is demonstrated by the presentation of several
circuits where the MOS parametric amplifier cell is used: small
gain amplifier, comparator with embedded pre-amplification,
discrete-time mixer/IIR-Filter, and analog-to-digital converter
(ADC). Experimental results are shown to validate the overall
design technique.
The 1755 earthquake and tsunami were influential not only in
Portugal but in all European and North African countries where the
devastating effects were felt. The entire world was deeply
impressed and the discussion of its causes generated a large amount
of scientific and metaphysical speculation. It inspired
philosophers, poets and writers. The socio-economic consequences of
the event were great and affected the future organization and
development of Portugal. The possibility of a similar occurence
urges society and the scientific community to reflect on its
lessons. Audience This work is of interest to experts in
seismology, earthquake engineering, civil protection, urban
planning and it is a reference book for doctoral students.
This volume holds a collection of articles based on the talks
presented at ICDEA 2007 in Lisbon, Portugal.
The volume encompasses current topics on stability and
bifurcation, chaos, mathematical biology, iteration theory,
nonautonomous systems, and stochastic dynamical systems.
Recognition of the link between vocational education and economics
and social development is resulting in a wide range of educational
and training strategies within individual nation states and
supranational bodies like the European Community. This book brings
together 12 case studies which illustrate the expansion strategies
used by successful distance learning programmes to respond to the
increasing demand for more flexibility and alternative delivery
modes of vocational education. Each case illustrates different
implications of expanding distance learning systems as they affect
corporate strategies and structures, planning, training design,
marketing and delivery systems, as well as cost-effectiveness and
the strategies for managing change.

to the following topics: agent-based modelling for criminological
research (ABM4Crime), artificial intelligence in cyber-physical and
distributed embedded systems (AICPDES), artificial intelligence in
games (AIG), artificial intelligence in medicine (AIM), artificial
intelligence in power and energy systems (AIPES), artificial
intelligence in transportation systems (AITS), artificial life and
evolutionary algorithms (ALEA), ambient intelligence and affective
environments (AmIA), business applications of artificial
intelligence (BAAI), intelligent robotics (IROBOT), knowledge
discovery and business intelligence (KDBI), knowledge
representation and reasoning (KRR), multi-agent systems: theory and
applications (MASTA), software engineering for autonomous and
intelligent systems (SE4AIS), social simulation and modelling
(SSM), and text mining and applications (TeMA).

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are a unique class of materials with the
ability to recover their shape when the temperature is increased.
An increase in temperature can result in shape recovery even under
high applied loads. SMAs can also absorb and dissipate mechanical
energy by undergoing a reversible hysteretic shape change when
subjected to applied mechanical cyclic loading. These
characteristics have made SMAs very popular for applications such
as sensing and actuation, absorption and vibration damping. The
application of SMAs spans a wide variety of industrial sectors such
as aerospace automotive, biomedical and oil exploration. The demand
of joining techniques for SMAs has become of great importance, as
their functional properties, namely shape memory effect and
superelasticity, present unique solutions for state-of-the-art
applications. An investigation was conducted on laser welding of
NiTi alloys aiming at correlating the mechanical cycling behavior
and the microstructure obtained.
Aging: From Fundamental Biology to Societal Impact examines the
interconnection of the cellular and molecular basis of aging and
societal-based challenges and innovative interventions. Sections
take a societal-based angle on aging, describing several flagship
initiatives for healthy living and active aging in different
regions, cover the biology of aging which includes the hallmarks of
aging, explain the pathophysiology of aging, describing different
comorbidities associated with aging and possible interventions to
decrease the impact of aging, and envision future and innovative
measures to tackle aging-related morbidities. Contributions from an
interdisciplinary panel of experts cover such topics as the biology
of aging to physical activity, nutrition, psychology, pharmacology,
health care, social care and urban planning.
Composto de 220 paginas, estruturado em oito capitulos, referencias
bibliograficas e um glossario geologico-geomorfologico, o texto
apresenta um total de 49 figuras, alem de um anexo exibindo o mapa
geoevolutivo da planicie costeira da ilha de Santa Catarina, na
escala 1:100.000. Complementam as ilustracoes, 132 fotos, tres
quadros e 28 tabelas, abordando as caracteristicas
geologico-geomorfologicas das 117 praias arenosas da ilha de Santa
Catarina. Constitui uma excelente obra de divulgacao das pesquisas
realizadas no ambito do litoral da ilha de Santa Catarina, servindo
como um meio atrativo para a comunidade em geral, tanto academica
como institucional. Universidades, instituicoes de pesquisa,
escolas, orgaos governamentais, empresas de consultoria, agencias
de fomento e de turismo, dentre outras, poderao usufruir do
conteudo do trabalho. O texto foi produzido em uma linguagem que
viesse a atender os anseios da populacao em geral, tanto residente
na ilha de Santa Catarina, bem como dos visitantes que procuram
suas praias durante todo o ano e principalmente nos meses de verao.
