This book explores environmental policymaking in Mexico as a vehicle to understanding the broader changes in the policy process within a system undergoing a democratic transformation. It constitutes the first major analysis of environmental policymaking in Mexico at the national level, and examines...

Los fans han sido tradicionalmente menospreciados como objeto de estudio serio para las aproximaciones sociológicas y culturales de la comunicación. Los fans son, en muchos aspectos, la sublimación del modelo de consumidor de cultura vulgar carente de cualquier clase de gusto. La legitimidad de...

The end of the first decade of the 21st century has been marked by significant shifts in the power, practice, and theory of public relations. Alongside the continuing global expansion of connectivity, ecological degradation, and social media, more recent events – such as the global economic downturn...

Barcellona, 1888. Mentre in città fervono i preparativi per l’Esposizione universale, l’opinione pubblica è sempre più allarmata dalle misteriose sparizioni di giovani donne avvenute negli ultimi mesi, soprattutto quando i loro corpi vengono rinvenuti orrendamente mutilati.Informato per telegramma...

En la última década del siglo XX y aprovechando el poso de movimientos tan diversos como la Internacional Situacionista, los provos, el punk o la antiglobalización, se ha generado una red relativamente amplia de prácticas artísticas social y políticamente articuladas. Prácticas que se podrían...

The book presents the conception and realization of a pervasive electronic architecture for electrochemical applications, focusing on electronic instrumentation design and device development, particularly in electrochemical Point-of-Care and Lab-on-a-Chip devices, covering examples based on amperometric...

¿Cuándo y cómo surgió Cataluña? ¿Cuál es la historia de la bandera catalana? ¿Por qué la expansión catalana se dirigió hacia el Mediterráneo? ¿Cuál es el origen de la 'Generalitat'? ¿Cuál es el texto más antiguo que se conserva en catalán? ¿Por qué se produjeron las guerras remensas?...

The rapid development of efficient computational tools has allowed researchers to tackle biological problems and to predict, analyse and monitor, at an atomic level, molecular recognition processes. This book offers a fresh perspective on how computational tools can aid the chemical biology research...

This book gathers case studies presented at the International Conference on Responsible Research and Innovation in Science, Innovation and Society (RRI-SIS2017). It highlights European initiatives and projects in various domains and contexts, each of which explores how to create guidelines and good...

A CMOS Self-Powered Front-End Architecture for Subcutaneous Event-Detector Devices presents the conception and prototype realization of a Self-Powered architecture for subcutaneous detector devices. The architecture is designed to work as a true/false (event detector) or threshold level alarm of some...

This monograph presents some theoretical and computational aspects of the parameterization method for invariant manifolds, focusing on the following contexts: invariant manifolds associated with fixed points, invariant tori in quasi-periodically forced systems, invariant tori in Hamiltonian systems...

Experiments and theory have rapidly progressed on nonlinear optical extreme waves, showing that guided wave nonlinear optics and fiber lasers provide a relatively simple, accessible and controllable test bed for the observations and accurate statistical studies of extreme wave phenomena that obey...

This work presents a full generic approach to the detection and recognition of traffic signs. The approach is based on the latest computer vision methods for object detection, and on powerful methods for multiclass classification. The challenge was to robustly detect a set of different sign classes...
