    Sustainable Agriculture and Advances of Remote Sensing (Volume 1)

    Get PDF
    Agriculture, as the main source of alimentation and the most important economic activity globally, is being affected by the impacts of climate change. To maintain and increase our global food system production, to reduce biodiversity loss and preserve our natural ecosystem, new practices and technologies are required. This book focuses on the latest advances in remote sensing technology and agricultural engineering leading to the sustainable agriculture practices. Earth observation data, in situ and proxy-remote sensing data are the main source of information for monitoring and analyzing agriculture activities. Particular attention is given to earth observation satellites and the Internet of Things for data collection, to multispectral and hyperspectral data analysis using machine learning and deep learning, to WebGIS and the Internet of Things for sharing and publishing the results, among others

    Addresses the Challenges Associated with System-on-Chip Integration Network-on-Chip: The Next Generation of System-on-Chip Integration examines the current issues restricting chip-on-chip communication efficiency, and explores Network-on-chip (NoC), a promising alternative that equips designers with the capability to produce a scalable, reusable, and high-performance communication backbone by allowing for the integration of a large number of cores on a single system-on-chip (SoC). This book provides a basic overview of topics associated with NoC-based design: communication infrastructure design, communication methodology, evaluation framework, and mapping of applications onto NoC. It details the design and evaluation of different proposed NoC structures, low-power techniques, signal integrity and reliability issues, application mapping, testing, and future trends. Utilizing examples of chips that have been implemented in industry and academia, this text presents the full architectural design of components verified through implementation in industrial CAD tools. It describes NoC research and developments, incorporates theoretical proofs strengthening the analysis procedures, and includes algorithms used in NoC design and synthesis. In addition, it considers other upcoming NoC issues, such as low-power NoC design, signal integrity issues, NoC testing, reconfiguration, synthesis, and 3-D NoC design. This text comprises 12 chapters and covers: The evolution of NoC from SoC—its research and developmental challenges NoC protocols, elaborating flow control, available network topologies, routing mechanisms, fault tolerance, quality-of-service support, and the design of network interfaces The router design strategies followed in NoCs The evaluation mechanism of NoC architectures The application mapping strategies followed in NoCs Low-power design techniques specifically followed in NoCs The signal integrity and reliability issues of NoC The details of NoC testing strategies reported so far The problem of synthesizing application-specific NoCs Reconfigurable NoC design issues Direction of future research and development in the field of NoC Network-on-Chip: The Next Generation of System-on-Chip Integration covers the basic topics, technology, and future trends relevant to NoC-based design, and can be used by engineers, students, and researchers and other industry professionals interested in computer architecture, embedded systems, and parallel/distributed systems

    Oceanography

    How inappropriate to call this planet Earth when it is quite clearly Ocean (Arthur C. Clarke). Life has been originated in the oceans, human health and activities depend from the oceans and the world life is modulated by marine and oceanic processes. From the micro-scale, like coastal processes, to macro-scale, the oceans, the seas and the marine life, play the main role to maintain the earth equilibrium, both from a physical and a chemical point of view. Since ancient times, the world's oceans discovery has brought to humanity development and wealth of knowledge, the metaphors of Ulysses and Jason, represent the cultural growth gained through the explorations and discoveries. The modern oceanographic research represents one of the last frontier of the knowledge of our planet, it depends on the oceans exploration and so it is strictly connected to the development of new technologies. Furthermore, other scientific and social disciplines can provide many fundamental inputs to complete the description of the entire ocean ecosystem. Such multidisciplinary approach will lead us to understand the better way to preserve our "Blue Planet": the Earth

    Recent Development of Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems

    Get PDF
    Abstract: The use of renewable energies continues to increase. However, the energy obtained from renewable resources is variable over time. The amount of energy produced from the renewable energy sources (RES) over time depends on the meteorological conditions of the region chosen, the season, the relief, etc. So, variable power and nonguaranteed energy produced by renewable sources implies intermittence of the grid. The key lies in supply sources integrated to a hybrid system (HS)

    Psychogeography in the Digitally Expanded City.

    Get PDF
    PhD ThesisThis thesis investigates the digitally expanded city, (i.e., how the urban implementation of ubiquitous and mobile computing shifts and shapes how its inhabitant's experience and perceive the city), through the development of a psychogeographically influenced art practice. Psychogeography is the study of the geographical environment’s influence on the mind or behaviour using avant-garde art walking techniques. This thesis engages with the intersection between digital technology, the city and the perceiving body, by expanding the critical creative practices of psychogeography through the development of an original art practice to investigate the role of ubiquitous and mobile computing in the production of space in East London. Psychogeography brings to digital cities research access to the complexity of the embodied, culturally and socially situated experience of the perceiving body located in space. This work is situated in an interdisciplinary space across fine art performance, cultural geography and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). Empirical data is gathered from four performance events. This thesis situates itself within East London, which is approached from three interrelated perspectives: 1) Virtual Space, focuses on the subjective and intersubjective understandings of the digitally expanded city; 2) Actual Space, explores the materiality of digital infrastructures; 3) Potential Space, investigates digital representational practices. The contribution takes three forms. The first is a critical framework and lexicon. It presents a meta-model that maps the processes and actants that were observed to play an important role in the production of space in East London. The second provides an overview of the digital geography that emerged from the combined psychogeographically-inspired events presented within this thesis. The third provides an understanding of using a psychogeographicallyinspired art practice within spatial research. It outlines the kinds of knowledge a psychogeographical art practice can produce and concludes by exploring their implications for future ubiquitous and mobile computing research
