Download or read book Sustainable Development Research at Universities in the United Kingdom written by Walter Leal Filho and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-12-28 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gathers inputs from a variety of researchers in the field of sustainable development in the widest sense across the UK, from business and economics, to arts and fashion, administration, environment and media studies. The book also describes research, curriculum innovation, and campus greening in a comprehensive way. Many universities in the United Kingdom are currently engaged in high-quality research on matters related to sustainable development. Yet there are relatively few publications that provide a multidisciplinary overview of these efforts and projects, and in which researchers from across the spectrum of the natural and social sciences have the opportunity to present their research methods, the results of their empirical research, or exchange ideas about on-going and future research initiatives focusing on sustainable development. Addressing this important gap in the literature, this book contributes to the further development of this rapidly growing field in the United Kingdom and beyond.
Download or read book The Application of a Spatial Regression Model to the Analysis and Mapping of Poverty written by Alessandra Petrucci and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2003 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poverty mapping in developing countries is used to identify ways to improve living standards and, until now, methods have been generally based on econometric models which do not take into account the spatial dependence that may exist in human societies, with regard to income distribution. This report uses spatial regression techniques to model more accurately the distribution of poverty across regions in Ecuador.

Book excerpt: Today, the convergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data has revolutionized industries worldwide, driving business growth and reshaping societies. While these technologies have yielded remarkable benefits, many developing countries face challenges in harnessing their potential due to inadequate data collection and availability. Emerging Advancements in AI and Big Data Technologies in Business and Society delves into the profound impact of AI and Big Data on the digital landscape and their transformative influence on social, economic, and political spheres. With a historical overview of AI's evolution and its operational definition, this book explores interconnected subfields such as problem-solving, intelligent agents, natural language processing, computer vision, and machine learning. AI is hailed as the fourth industrial revolution and the widespread use of AI technologies prompts discussions about their applications, performances, and societal impact. This book serves as a comprehensive guide for academics, researchers, and students in universities and engineering schools. It also caters to policymakers, government officers, corporate leaders, technology directors, and managers seeking to understand the potential of AI and Big Data. Additionally, libraries and information centers catering to the needs of these professionals will find this book an essential resource.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A pilot’s first-hand account of the Battle of Britain. “Quite simply one of the best books I have ever read about the men who fought the war in the air.” —Daily Mail On 12 August 1940, during the Battle of Britain, in an engagement with Dornier Do 17s, Geoffrey Page was shot down into the English Channel, suffering severe burns. He spent much of the next two years in hospitals, undergoing plastic surgery, but recovered sufficiently to pursue an extremely distinguished war and postwar career. This eloquently written and critically acclaimed autobiography tells of his wartime exploits in the air and on the ground. He was a founding member of The Guinea Pig Club—formed by badly burnt aircrew—and this is a fascinating account of the Club, of the courage and bravery of “The Few,” and of Geoffrey’s later life and achievements, most particularly in the creation of The Battle of Britain memorial. “For sheer narrative power, it ranks with the best.” —The Daily Telegraph

This book was released on 2007 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph is part of a series of reports that explain how techniques of spatial analysis can be used to investigate poverty and environment links worldwide. It combines rural population distribution data contained in the global rural population database for the year 2000 with methods and results of the "Global agro-ecological assessment for agriculture in the 21st century," in order to estimate the distribution of the world's rural population by agricultural suitability class, land-use category and type of farming system.--Publisher's description.

Download or read book Water and Aqueous Solutions written by Arieh Ben-Naim and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The molecular theory of water and aqueous solutions has only recently emerged as a new entity of research, although its roots may be found in age-old works. The purpose of this book is to present the molecular theory of aqueous fluids based on the framework of the general theory of liquids. The style of the book is introductory in character, but the reader is presumed to be familiar with the basic properties of water [for instance, the topics reviewed by Eisenberg and Kauzmann (1969)] and the elements of classical thermodynamics and statistical mechanics [e.g., Denbigh (1966), Hill (1960)] and to have some elementary knowledge of probability [e.g., Feller (1960), Papoulis (1965)]. No other familiarity with the molecular theory of liquids is presumed. For the convenience of the reader, we present in Chapter 1 the rudi ments of statistical mechanics that are required as prerequisites to an under standing of subsequent chapters. This chapter contains a brief and concise survey of topics which may be adopted by the reader as the fundamental "rules of the game," and from here on, the development is very slow and detailed.
