Sommario/riassunto

"The Internet of Things has been a recurrent theme among commentators since the term was coined in the late 1990s. This term has evolved from Radio Frequency Identifier (RFID) which represented a hardware related break-through that aimed to connect everyday objects in a network. IoT went beyond the initial hardware world innovation, and focused more on developing new types of sensors and sensing materials as well as on developing new communication technologies and protocols. As a result, a wide variety of communication technologies emerged in the 2000s able to support ubiquitous deployment of a wide variety of sensors. In the last decade, the focus of IoT has shifted to the data collection and processing level. Provides a comprehensive overview of the full Internet of Things technology stack with focus on data driven aspects from data modelling, processing to presentation for decision making. Explains how IoT technology is applied in practice and the benefits being delivered. Acquaints readers that are new to the area with concepts, components, technologies and verticals related to and enabled by IoT. Gives IoT specialists a deeper insight to data and decision-making aspects as well and novel application areas"--

Sommario/riassunto

Dans la société médiévale, peuplée en majorité d'illettrés, accessibles seulement à l'oralité, les récits exemplaires (ou exempla) circulent dans tous les registres de la littérature didactique, depuis le Miroir des princes jusqu'au plus humble sermon prononcé devant un auditoire plus ou moins attentif. Afin de venir en aide au prédicateur en mal d'inspiration, les recueils d'anecdotes exemplaires se multiplient, à partir du xiiie siècle. Jean Gobi le Jeune ( † 1350) propose dans son Echelle du Ciel (Scala coeli) un millier de ces récits corsetés dans un appareil didactique sophistiqué. Mais malgré un objectif pastoral fortement affirmé dans son prologue, ce Dominicain se laisse parfois prendre au charme du conte, pour le plus grand plaisir de ses lecteurs et l'intérêt des spécialistes de l'histoire des textes. L'autre œuvre de Jean Gobi le Jeune - un dialogue avec un revenant - apparaît comme un maillon essentiel dans la mise en place du culte des âmes du purgatoire à partir du xive siècle.  Ces textes, encore peu connus, sont analysés dans quatre perspectives complémentaires : exemplarité et éducation, une œuvre entre oralité et écriture, encadrement des comportements sociaux et des attitudes religieuses. Écrits en latin, ces ouvrages sont rendus accessibles aux lecteurs par de nombreuses traductions.

Sommario/riassunto

How plants adapt to climate change is a complex and multifaceted process and understanding it requires a comprehensive knowledge of plant biology and ecology. Some of the most serious stresses that plants face include heat and water stress, soil degradation, and increased pests and diseases. Addressing these challenges is crucial to preserve lives and livelihoods and requires a combination of scientific research, technical innovations, and policy interventions to increase ecosystem resilience and sustainable agricultural practices. This book is a step in the right direction, as it provides a comprehensive overview of plant adaptation to abiotic stresses.
