Sommario/riassunto

Engineering green software intensive systems is critical in our drive towards a sustainable, smarter planet The goal of green software engineering is to apply green principles to the design and operation of software intensive systems Green and self greening software systems have tremendous potential to decrease energy consumption Moreover, enterprise software can and should be re thought to address sustainability issues using innovative business models, processes, and incentives Monitoring and measuring the greenness of software is critical towards the notion of sustainable and green software Demonstrating improvement is paramount for users to achieve and affect change Thus, the theme of GREENS 2015 is Towards a Green Software Body of Knowledge.

Sommario/riassunto

Ubi papa, ibi Roma : Rome peut bien n'être pas dans Rome puisque Rome est là où réside le pape. Cet adage du xiiie siècle exprime avec force le rapport d'identification entre la ville et le souverain, définissant la capitale par sa fonction de commandement politique. Mais elle s'applique à une capitale étrange au Moyen Âge, qui se rêvait caput mundi mais peinait à s'affirmer comme capitale régionale.  Qu'est-ce donc qu'une ville capitale au Moyen Âge ? Au-delà des fausses évidences de la continuité millénaire de la centralisation parisienne et, dans une moindre mesure, londonienne, la question est bien plus complexe qu'il n'y paraît. Certes, le modèle romain de la capitale d'empire a pu se prolonger sous des formes diverses, avec Constantinople, Bagdad ou Le Caire. Mais lorsque les Carolingiens rétablissent l'empire en 800, ils ne retrouvent pas pour autant ce modèle de la capitale d'empire. Si l'on considère l'ensemble des expériences institutionnelles et territoriales de l'Occident médiéval, c'est bien la dispersion des fonctions capitales qui constitue la règle et leur concentration l'exception.  En se tenant à Istanbul, à l'invitation de l'Institut français d'études anatoliennes, le xxxvie Congrès de la Société des historiens médiévistes de l'Enseignement supérieur public trouvait un cadre monumental et historique parfaitement adéquat à son objet d'étude, à mi-chemin entre plusieurs expériences politiques que les différentes contributions ici rassemblées entendent confronter, en longue durée. Car faire l'histoire des villes capitales revient à poser la question de la diversité des modèles d'émergence de l'État : les rapports entre le palais et la ville, mais aussi les phénomènes de déplacement du centre de gravité des constructions territoriales, d'abandon ou de reprise de capitales, dessinent plusieurs configurations de pouvoir.  Essentielle est, de ce point de vue, la question des marqueurs symboliques : une ville réussit à convaincre qu'elle capitalise…

Sommario/riassunto

This book brings together leading international experts to discuss recent advances in functional studies on key proteins and protein complexes involved in each synaptic vesicle phase. These include proteins that control the final step of neurotransmitter release, in response to a neural signal, and the first step of vesicle endocytosis, which helps maintain stable neurotransmitter release in response to unceasing neural signals arriving at presynaptic terminals. Neural networks transmit input and output signals of action potentials using chemical synapses. The strength of the signal from one to another neuron can be tuned by the neural signal itself as it induces Ca2+ entry and by other neurons’ signals that modify Ca2+ entry through voltage-gated Ca2+ channels at the active zone, where chemical neurotransmitters are released from synaptic vesicles via exocytosis. Synaptic vesicles are docked and primed at the active zone prior to exocytosis and are endocytosed after exocytosis for reuse at a small presynaptic terminal. Recycled vesicles are refilled with transmitters and stored for a future round of exocytosis. Thus, synaptic vesicles in presynaptic terminals go through various phases. Each vesicle phase is well orchestrated by numerous proteins and advance step-by-step with neural activities. The fine regulations of synaptic vesicle phases by numerous proteins is an exciting subject, and systematic, well-organized explanations in this book will help the reader easily learn about complicated molecular mechanisms in presynaptic terminals.

Sommario/riassunto

This important reference book provides a comprehensive assessment



of date palm genetic resources and utilization in individual date-producing countries worldwide. The book is published in two volumes; each consists of 15 chapters written by prominent scientists of each country and supported with color illustrations and tabulated data. Volume 1 addresses date-producing countries within Africa and the Americas; whereas, Volume 2 pertains to countries in Asia and Europe. This volume presents the current status and prospects of date palm cultivation in the African and American continents. The African countries included are: Egypt, Algeria, Sudan, Tunisia, Libya, Morocco, Mauritania, Niger, Cameroon, Djibouti, and the Sahelian African countries of Chad, Mali, Somalia, Ethiopia, Burkina Faso and Senegal. In the Americas, the countries covered are the United States, Chile and Peru. Topics discussed in each chapter include cultivation practices, genetic resources and conservation, plant tissue culture, cultivar identification, cultivar descriptions, date production and marketing, processing and novel products and concludes with recommendations for further development. This volume ends with six appendixes presenting available information on each of the above-mentioned countries pertaining to cultivar descriptions and distribution, commercial sources of dates, offshoots and in vitro plants and research institutes and scientific societies concerned with date palm research and production. The book is a valuable resource for students, researchers, scientists, commercial producers, consultants and policymakers interested in agriculture particularly in date palm industry. Readers can derive great benefit from the adoption of the policies and practices discussed to enhance production and expand industrialization of traditional and potentially new date products.

Sommario/riassunto

This volume contains the proceedings of the 8th International PhD Student Workshop on Service Life and Durability of Reinforced Concrete Structures that was held in Marne-la-Vallée, France, on September the 26th and 27th 2016. Topics discussed in the book are related to durability performance of reinforced concrete, service life modelling, prevention, protection and repair. Reinforced concrete structures may prove to be very durable, however, their gradual degradation over time impairing both serviceability and structural safety is still a matter of great practical concern in view of the large economic consequences for assessment, maintenance and repair. Corrosion of steel reinforcement is considered to be the most detrimental process responsible for structural deterioration. Many studies are in progress to develop a comprehensive engineering approach for assessment of the initiation and the propagation period of corrosion in both uncracked and cracked concrete. Modelling of chloride penetration and carbonation has attracted a great deal of attention in recent years, however, there is still much debate on several essential aspects such as the chloride threshold level. ASR, and acid, sulphate and frost attack and other mechanisms remain important areas of study. In addition, the interaction between different degradation mechanisms requires further understanding. The worskhop was organised under the auspices of RILEM EAC (Educational Activities Committee), with the aim to bring together young researchers in the field of durability of concrete.
