This book explores the industrial use of secure, permanent storage technologies for carbon dioxide (CO2), especially geological CO2 storage. Readers are invited to discover how this greenhouse gas could be spared from permanent release into the atmosphere through storage in deep rock formations. Themes explored here include CO2 reservoir management, caprock formation, bio-chemical processes and…
This book introduces new trends of theory and practice of information technologies in tourism.

This book attempts to confront spatial, performative and cultural interrelations between tourism and social economic behavior by providing a critical platform for the articulation of touring consumption in our contemporary world. Tourism has become a significant area of scholarship especially given the industry’s product development opportunities on a global scale. However, the emphasis place…
This book introduces new massively parallel computer (MPSoC) architectures called invasive tightly coupled processor arrays. It proposes strategies, architecture designs, and programming interfaces for invasive TCPAs that allow invading and subsequently executing loop programs with strict requirements or guarantees of non-functional execution qualities such as performance, power consumption, a…
This richly illustrated volume describes the performance of total and subtotal gastrectomy with extended D2 lymphadenectomy by providing a detailed step-by-step guide to both manual and mechanical procedures. Gastric cancer is the fourth most commonly occurring cancer and the second most common cancer-related cause of death worldwide, and surgery remains the only potentially curative treatment.…
Il libro mira a fornire le basi di Meccanica Razionale, corredando l'esposizione teorica con un alto numero di esempi ed esercizi, di tutti i quali si fornisce la soluzione. Il testo è particolarmente indicato per i corsi di breve o media durata, e può servire da appoggio a corsi che si sviluppino al secondo, o anche al primo anno del corso di studi universitario.
This book specifies the foundation for Adapted Primary Literature (APL), a novel text genre that enables the learning and teaching of science using research articles that were adapted to the knowledge level of high-school students. More than 50 years ago, J.J. Schwab suggested that Primary Scientific Articles “afford the most authentic, unretouched specimens of enquiry that we can obtain” a…
Il testo è stato concepito per la struttura degli attuali corsi di laurea in Biologia, Matematica, Matematica Applicata, Ingegneria, Scienze Naturali e Mediche. Esso si concentra sugli aspetti qualitativi delle equazioni differenziali come limitatezza o illimitatezza delle soluzioni, esistenza o non esistenza di orbite periodiche, stabilità o instabilità dei punti di equilibrio, biforcazione…
