This book provides an account of the use of computational tactical metrics in improving sports analysis, in particular the use of Global Positioning System (GPS) data in soccer. As well as offering a practical perspective on collective behavioural analysis, it introduces the computational metrics...

From the more basic concepts to the most advanced ones where long and laborious simulation models are required, Electromagnetic Transients in Power Cables provides a thorough insight into the study of electromagnetic transients and underground power cables. Explanations and demonstrations of different...

This book deals with the most recent numerical modeling of adhesive joints. Advances in damage mechanics and extended finite element method are described in the context of the Finite Element method with examples of application. The book also introduces the classical continuum mechanics and fracture...

This book discusses efficient prediction techniques for the current state-of-the-art High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard, focusing on the compression of a wide range of video signals, such as 3D video, Light Fields and natural images. The authors begin with a review of the state-of-the-art...

O ano é 2084. O mundo é um paradoxo. Alta tecnologia e mortes por desnutrição. Veículos autônomos e pessoas sem teto. Teletransporte e imigrantes sem destino. Manipulação genética e doenças degenerativas. Ordem e caos. No mesmo lugar.

This book introduces the ultimate performance analysis tool (uPATO) as a new software to compute social network metrics in the scope of team sports analysis. The reader will identify the algorithms to test the general properties of the team, the co-dependencies and the centrality levels of players,...

This book compiles all current information on the different types of functionalization of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene, both covalent and non-covalent. The book starts with a general overview of the synthesis, characterization and application of functionalized CNTs and graphene. Special attention...

LITERATURA E MATEMÁTICA Vencer o falso abismo que separaria o pensamento humanístico da matemática é tema constante das novas epistemologias, que não acreditam mais no demônio aparente do número contra as letras. Há um approach permanente de um só mundo supostamente partido, em todas as línguas...

Potatoes are one of the world’s key food crops. Their nutritional value, and the fact that they can be grown with relatively few inputs in a wide range of environments, makes them an important food security crop. However, yields in developing countries are held back by factors such as poor cultivation...

Heranças de Derrida é uma obra publicada em 3 volumes, que reúne os textos apresentados no I Colóquio Internacional Desconstrução, Linguagem e Alteridade, ocorrido no Instituto de Filosofia e Ciências Sociais da UFRJ em 2011. O Colóquio foi uma realização conjunta do Grupo de Trabalho Desconstrução,...

This book discusses in detail the CMOS implementation of energy harvesting. The authors describe an integrated, indoor light energy harvesting system, based on a controller circuit that dynamically and automatically adjusts its operation to meet the actual light circumstances of the environment where...

This book presents an innovative concept for designing a 400 kV double circuit composite tower. The major challenges encountered by the authors in the electrical design process of the composite tower are addressed. They concern material selection for the full composite cross-arm core, electrical insulation...

O que é que recordamos das ditaduras? Para que serve, vivendo em democracia, recordar a opressão e a violência ditatoriais? A memória coletiva tornou-se, cultural e politicamente, um intenso campo de batalha nos últimos 40 anos. O ciclo de transformações políticas e sociais que vai desde o...
