Atmospheric Model Applications

This book covers comprehensive text and reference work on atmospheric models for methods of numerical modeling and important related areas of data assimilation and predictability. It incorporates various aspects of environmental computer modeling including an historical overview of the subject, approximations to land surface and atmospheric physics and dynamics, radiative transfer and applicati…

Atmospheric Mercury

Mercury is a serious environmental toxin that is distributed globally by large-scale atmospheric circulations. The chapters in this book cover measurements of speciated atmospheric mercury, regional modeling, continental-scale distributions across the U.S. and Canada, large-scale distributions in the free troposphere, and changes in wet deposition across the U.S. The diverse topics give snap-sh…

Atmospheric Measurements with Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS)

This book is the first literature collection focused on the development and implementation of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and their integration with sensors for atmospheric measurements on Earth. The research covered in the book combines chemical, physical, and meteorological measurements performed in field campaigns, as well as conceptual and laboratory work. Useful examples for the develo…

Bifidobacteria and Their Role in the Human Gut Microbiota

The human intestine is home of an almost inconceivable large number of microorganisms. The human gut microbiota can therefore be pictured as an organ placed within a host organism. The human gut microbiome, which in total may contain >100 times the number of genes present in our genome, endows us with functional features that we did not have to evolve ourselves.

Biblioteca Joanina. Library Joanina

”A construção da Biblioteca Joanina parece ter obedecido a dois propósitos claros: um rei que quis eternizar-se e uma Universidade que necessitava de um espaço para guardar os seus livros.(...)Ao escrever agora sobre a Biblioteca Joanina, com critério e desenvolvimento, Carlos Fiolhais revela a erudição e o espírito inquisitivo que bem lhe conhecemos de muitos outros textos e que faze…

Bibliometric Studies and Worldwide Research Trends on Global Health

Global health, conceived as a discipline, aims to train, research and respond to problems of a transboundary nature in order to improve health and health equity at the global level. The current worldwide situation is ruled by globalization, and therefore the concept of global health involves not only health-related issues but also those related to the environment and climate change
