This is the first book to consider the major implications for culture of the new science of biosemiotics. The volume is mainly aimed at an audience outside biosemiotics and semiotics, in the humanities and social sciences principally, who will welcome elucidation of the possible benefits to their subject area from a relatively new field. The book is therefore devoted to illuminating the extent …
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Inductive Logic Programming, ILP 2014, held in Nancy, France, in September 2014. The 14 revised papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 41 submissions. The papers focus on topics such as the inducing of logic programs, learning from data represented with logic,…
This is the second of two volumes of a state-of-the-art survey article collection which originates from three commutative algebra sessions at the 2009 Fall Southeastern American Mathematical Society Meeting at Florida Atlantic University. The articles reach into diverse areas of commutative algebra and build a bridge between Noetherian and non-Noetherian commutative algebra. These volumes prese…
This monograph is devoted to statements of multidimensional inverse problems, in particular to methods of their investigation. Questions of the uniqueness of solution, solvability and stability are studied. Methods to construct a solution are given and, in certain cases, inversion formulas are given as well. Concrete applications of the theory developed here are also given. Where possible, the …
This book is thesecond volume of a three volume series recording the "Radon Special Semester 2011 on Multiscale Simulation & Analysis in Energy and the Environment" that took placein Linz, Austria, October 3-7, 2011. This volume addresses the common ground in the mathematical and computational procedures required for large-scale inverse problems and data assimilation in forefront applications. …
Keberlanjutan pertanian ditantang oleh perubahan iklim dan meningkatnya permintaan pangan dari populasi manusia yang lebih besar dan lebih kaya. Umat manusia akan menghadapi krisis pangan global kecuali jika efisiensi dan ketahanan produksi tanaman pangan ditingkatkan. Dalam beberapa dekade mendatang, tantangan terhadap produksi pangan internasional akan terjadi tidak seperti sebelumnya dalam s…
The goal of this monograph is to develop the theory of wavelet harmonic analysis on the sphere. By starting with orthogonal polynomials and functional Hilbert spaces on the sphere, the foundations are laid for the study of spherical harmonics such as zonal functions. The book also discusses the construction of wavelet bases using special functions, especially Bessel, Hermite, Tchebychev, and Ge…
Pelestarian, perlindungan, dan promosi Sumber Daya Genetik Tanaman (SDG), Pengetahuan Tradisional (TK), inovasi, dan praktik-praktik dari masyarakat lokal dan masyarakat adat merupakan kunci penting bagi pembangunan suatu negara. Kekayaan PGR dan TK memainkan peran penting dalam perawatan kesehatan, ketahanan pangan, budaya, agama, identitas, lingkungan, pembangunan berkelanjutan, dan perdagang…
Pemuliaan tanaman yang mulai bekerja pada tahun 2015 akan mendekati akhir karir mereka pada tahun 2050. Kedua tahun itu sangat penting. Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa menetapkan delapan Tujuan Pembangunan Milenium yang ambisius untuk dicapai pada tahun 2015, dari garis dasar tahun 1990. Salah satunya mengurangi separuh tingkat kemiskinan ekstrim dan termasuk mengurangi separuh proporsi orang yang m…
Ada peningkatan hasil panen yang signifikan sejak tahun 1950-an, yang membuat makanan lebih murah dan lebih terjangkau. Namun, produksi tanaman dunia harus meningkat dalam tiga setengah dekade ke depan untuk memberi makan populasi yang terus bertambah. Itu harus terjadi sebagian besar di tanah yang sudah ditanami. Pemuliaan tanaman, subjek buku ini, menyediakan sarana untuk mengatasi tantangan …
