Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Foam plastic materials based on phenol-formaldehyde resins have unique physical, chemical and operational properties. They have an amazing thermal resistance, do not burn, poorly conduct heat. However, the complexity of their manufacture by classical methods makes this valuable material very difficult to obtain for industrial production. The use of microwave activation has allowed not only to reduce the time of production of this material many times, but also to significantly reduce the range of chemicals used in the manufacture of this material. The use of microwave activation made it possible to eliminate the use of highly toxic reagents that do not comply with the principles of the Green Chemistry concept. In this book the methods of synthesis of phenol-formaldehyde foams are considered in detail. The method of searching for optimal conditions for synthesis of this material is described in detail. The book will be useful for students, master's students, doctoral candidates, researchers interested in high-molecular compounds and their synthesis under conditions of microwave activation.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -It is hoped that this research will make a significant contribution to the study of human history, since technology is the main element influencing human evolution. In this sense, a brief analysis will be made of the development of Homo, from its emergence to the present day, specifying its generations and cultural changes found in recent years. According to this evolutionary process, new characteristics are manifested that name each stage of its evolution, thus giving rise to more than five Generations (Baby Boomers, W, X, Y, Z and Alpha) with divergent characteristics, which leads us to reflect on the number of nomenclatures for the same evolutionary level of man (Homo Sapiens), influenced by the technological advances made in each of his eras, which in turn have been occurring in parallel with his technological advances, so the generations arrive increasingly adapted and with mastery of the technologies developed in previous generations.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -As well as changing the daily lives of modern societies, information and communication technology (ICT) has changed the way countries store their intellectual property, how they deliver their digital services and how they control their critical infrastructures. Nations have become dependent on ICT and disruptions caused by vulnerabilities or sabotage in these infrastructures can compromise national sovereignty. In this scenario, many countries have created security strategies to protect themselves in cyberspace. This paper presents the concepts for establishing a national cyber security strategy using the Grounded Theory research method. At the end of the analysis, a conceptual model was designed and its adherence was studied by comparing it with the cyber strategies of some countries. It shows that concepts are not definitive, but dynamic, and that the proposed model can be an alternative for creating national cyber strategies or revising existing initiatives.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -The aim of this work is to problematize and discuss the environment in educational institutions in a different way. To do this, we created the RPGBIO environment game, based on the rules of the Role Playing Game. In this way, the players (students) have the freedom to create their characters with all the characteristics they want and also with unlimited possibilities of interacting with the other players within the imaginary world where the game's adventures take place. In addition, the RPG has a MASTER who is the narrator of the story, responsible for creating the challenges that the players have to face. For this game, the setting where the RPG adventures take place is the Pampa Biome, more specifically the Vacacaí River in the municipality of São Gabriel, RS. In this way, biology content, nature conservation and selective waste collection are worked on in an interactive and fun way. The methodology applied is part of the dialectical participatory approach, in which players (students), in the scenarios presented, take on interpretative roles and, as active subjects, get involved in discussions, identifying and finding solutions to environmental problems.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -With the aim of serving as an academic and professional guide, this work sought to clarify absolutely relevant points about inheritance law between spouses, addressing the property regimes provided for in current civil legislation and emphasising the conventional separation regime. This research was motivated by the great legal debate that exists on the subject. The subject has gained relevance due to the decision of the STJ in REsp 992.749-MS, which stated that a surviving spouse married under this property regime is not an heir when in competition with descendants, which was overturned in the judgement of REsp 1.472.945/RJ, which concluded in absolutely the opposite direction. Thus, in the face of absolutely opposite conclusions by the highest court that regulates Brazilian infra-constitutional law, legal uncertainty on the subject is an incontrovertible point, the discussion of which is the subject of this book.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -We offer an overview of the epistemological disjunctivisms of Duncan Pritchard and Alain Millar and their critique by Christoph Kelp within a synthesis of first-knowledge-epistemology and ability epistemology. All approaches, including Kelp's, have their shortcomings. To address them, it is proposed that paradigmatic perceptual knowledge should be treated by starting from an analysis of Wittgenstein's notion of axial proposition. In addition, despite Timothy Williamson's criticism of Wittgensteinism, the Wittgensteinian treatment is compatible with a 'pure' first-knowledge-epistemology, which we believe is a more fundamental approach than the other approaches. We combine Williamson's epistemology and Wittgenstein's second philosophy. The fundamental epistemic rule (norm) for opinion is knowledge. We believe that the so-called Getye cases have primarily a conceptual status. They indicate that the standard definition of knowledge as true valid opinion is missing something. We define knowledge as a 'successful' opinion, that is, a true justified opinion, provided that the epistemic 'gap' between justification and fact is closed 'pragmatically' in the sense of the problem of following a rule.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -The substrates used to grow vegetables can have different chemical, physical and biological characteristics, influencing the initial development and productivity of these crops. This book therefore carries out a literature review on the influence of substrates on the production of vegetables. It was shown that the best results for vegetables were achieved with substrates composed of agricultural by-products (31.8%). Checking the results by family, it was identified that agricultural by-products showed the best results in Solanaceaes (28.6%), Brassicaceaes (40.9%) and Asteraceaes (68.8%). Overall, considering the study carried out, it is clear that the use of alternative substrates is viable for the production of vegetables.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -This work seeks to identify and discuss the extent to which students are involved, motivated or not, in the knowledge worked on in the classroom, as well as pointing out ways of sensitizing them, awakening a taste for knowledge, and better understanding the factors that permeate the theme of motivation in everyday school life. The issue of students' lack of interest in the knowledge taught in the school environment is the subject of various discussions in the field of education. Some scholars have linked this problem in learning to a motivational process. To answer this research problem, data was collected using semi-structured interviews with eight ninth-grade students from a local school in the second segment of primary education. The results show that the current school needs to be rethought, as do the teaching objectives and methods, which not only fail to motivate students to learn, but also make lessons uninteresting. However, the study showed that the teachers' attitudes in the classroom are considered by the students to be ways of teaching and welcoming, and are interpreted by them as a motivating factor, a stimulus for learning.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -The work focuses on determining suitable CT scan parameters for fitting 3D-printed implants using an animal specimen, specifically for the scapula. By investigating different CT scan protocols with different reconstruction parameters, the aim is to find settings that provide sufficient resolution and dose for implant planning. In this regard, the practical part involves performing CT scans of the animal specimen with different parameters, which are then used to create 3D models and finally to produce 3D-printed implants. It is also pointed out that this approach takes into account in vitro factors but does not fully incorporate potential in vivo factors. The results emphasize the importance of reconstructions with the thinnest slice thickness from all scans for effective implant planning.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -This article is dedicated to analysing the national legal protection afforded to consumers in the face of advertising. The relevance of the subject is due to the situation of extreme vulnerability to which consumers are exposed by the practice of illicit advertising, which can lead them into error, illusion, and undermine their morale and/or physical integrity. It is therefore imperative to understand the protection that the Consumer Defence Code, together with other legislation, imposes on consumers, essentially with regard to advertising. In addition, he notes that the consumer is the target of too much concern from legislators, given that it has gained the quality of a fundamental clause in the Norma Maior. It elucidates the legal consumer relationship, defining the subjects involved, as well as qualifying products and services. It conceptualises advertising in such a way as to crystallise the aspects that differentiate and link it to offers and propaganda; it mentions the constitutional bases involved and examines its types, principles, broadcasting techniques and forms of control. Finally, it defines misleading and abusive advertising, emphasises its characteristics and points out the consequences for its practitioners.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -This paper seeks to identify the level of maturity in project management in the Brazilian distance education sector and relate it to some of the characteristics of the organizations, such as size, area of activity and nature of the projects. The sector is undergoing transformations as a result of technological advances, the Brazilian political and economic situation, mergers and the strengthening of large organizations, affecting the way products and services are offered. Faced with these challenges, higher levels of maturity can result in more predictable projects, increasing the chances of success and reducing errors and rework. Therefore, maturity in project management can help organizations to be prepared to follow the trends and overcome the challenges of the sector, if the strategic direction of the organization moves in this direction. Maturity models can be used to identify and measure how prepared an organization is to manage projects.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 72 pp. Englisch.

Flexible pipes are used in subsea structures to move fluids and/or to instrument systems on platforms. In this work, the casing of a 4-inch flexible pipe was analyzed under external tensile loads using the finite element method. The simulations were carried out using Autodesk Inventor(R) software, student version 2015. By monitoring the tensile loads, its mechanical properties can be determined in order to minimize the possibility of failures, increase service life and optimize operational reliability. A proprietary profile and AISI 304 stainless steel were used to analyze the housing. The contextualization and analysis carried out aim to help clarify the application possibilities of flexible tubes, their properties, functions and technological development, so the book is of great use to professionals in the offshore industry, as well as students of Mechanical, Metallurgical and Materials Engineering.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.
