In recent decades, this, combined with rural abandonment and landscape polarisation, has resulted in high land ownership concentrations and agricultural intensification. This, in turn, has resulted in a significant decrease in the resilience of agriculture and overall food systems and threatens the maintenance of traditional indigenous and peasant farming. Therefore, there is an urgent need to reconnect society with the sustainable use of agroecosystems by fostering resilient social-ecological systems, emphasising the links between the functioning of natural systems and human well-being, and stressing the benefits that people derive from them. This Special Issue aims to highlight impactful research and commentaries that focus on attempts to connect people with nature for the promotion of sustainable agricultural transitions. This Issue embraces inter- and trans-disciplinary studies from multiple disciplines (e.g., agricultural sciences, environmental sciences, geography, economy, and sociology), as well as those incorporating other knowledge systems (e.g., local and indigenous) in the co-construction of knowledge for sustainable agriculture, including studies in rural areas (e.g., GIAHS or HNV farmland) and initiatives that address urban-rural relationships or those developed within metropolitan areas (e.g., community-supported agriculture, food hubs, domestic gardens, multifunctional agriculture, and farmers´ or consumers´ cooperatives) and studies assessing the societal and ecological impacts of those initiatives.Research & information: generalbicsscadoptionsagricultural diversificationagricultural innovationsagricultural knowledge and innovation systems (AKIS)agricultural landscapesagricultureagroecologyalternative agri-food networks (AAFNs)alternative food networksbiodiversitybiological controlcity-regionclimate changecollective actioncommunity supported agriculturecommunity-supported agriculture (CSA)conservationconservative agriculture practicesconsumers/citizenscooperativescross-national case studycultural landscapesdemanddepopulationdouble-hurdle modeldrivers of changeecological agricultureecosystem servicesfood planningfood policyfood self-sufficiencyfood systems governancefoodshed archipelagogreenhouseshuman nature connectednesshuman-nature connectednesshuman-nature connectedness (HNC)human-nature reconnectioninclusive multilateralisminnovative business modelsintegrated pest managementinterpretative structural modelingknowledge co-productionland uselandscape planninglandscape stewardshiplocal identitymediterranean horticulturemixed methodsmulti-level perspectivemulti-level perspective (MLP)n/anatureparticipatory governanceparticipatory mappingPGISpond naturalisationproximity food supply chainspublic policyregional food securityregional food systemrelational proximityrights-based approachrural abandonmentrural-urban interactionsocio-ecological systemssocioecological systemssoil healthSpainspatial proximityspatial signaturestakeholder inclusionsustainability transitionssustainable agricultural transitionsustainable agriculturesustainable consumptionthreatened planturban growthwater conservationworld heritage siteyouthResearch & information: generalVicente-Vicente José Luisedt1303409Quintas-Soriano CristinaedtLópez-Rodríguez María DedtVicente-Vicente José LuisothQuintas-Soriano CristinaothLópez-Rodríguez María DothBOOK9910566484203321Reconnecting People with Nature through Agriculture3027009UNINA04583nam 2201045z- 450 9910619468803321202210253-0365-5226-X(CKB)5670000000391586(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/93170(oapen)doab93170(EXLCZ)99567000000039158620202210d2022 |y 0engurmn|---annantxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierPresent and Future of Gravitational Wave AstronomyMDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute20221 online resource (428 p.)3-0365-5225-1 The first detection on Earth of a gravitational wave signal from the coalescence of a binary black hole system in 2015 established a new era in astronomy, allowing the scientific community to observe the Universe with a new form of radiation for the first time. More than five years later, many more gravitational wave signals have been detected, including the first binary neutron star coalescence in coincidence with a gamma ray burst and a kilonova observation. The field of gravitational wave astronomy is rapidly evolving, making it difficult to keep up with the pace of new detector designs, discoveries, and astrophysical results. This Special Issue is, therefore, intended as a review of the current status and future directions of the field from the perspective of detector technology, data analysis, and the astrophysical implications of these discoveries. Rather than presenting new results, the articles collected in this issue will serve as a reference and an introduction to the field. This Special Issue will include reviews of the basic properties of gravitational wave signals; the detectors that are currently operating and the main sources of noise that limit their sensitivity; planned upgrades of the detectors in the short and long term; spaceborne detectors; a data analysis of the gravitational wave detector output focusing on the main classes of detected and expected signals; and implications of the current and future discoveries on our understanding of astrophysics and cosmology.PhysicsbicsscResearch & information: generalbicsscAdvanced Virgoastrophysicsbinary starsblack holescalibrationcoating noisecontinuous gravitational wavescore-collapse supernovacryogenicscryostatdark matterdata qualityDECIGOdetector characterizationdiffraction losseinstein telescopefuture detectorsgravitational wavegravitational wave detectorgravitational wave detectorsgravitational wavesgravitational-wave astrophysicsgravitational-wave backgroundsgravitational-wave laser interferometersground based gravitational-wave detectorinterferometerinterferometersKAGRAlaser interferometerlaser interferometerslaser metrologyLIGOlow-noise high-power laser interferometryn/aneutron starsnewtonian noiseNewtonian noisenoise mitigationnoise subtractionoptomechanicspayloadpulsar timing arraysquantum noisequantum opticsseismic isolation systemseismic noisesiliconsqueezed statesstarsstellar dynamicsstellar evolutionstochastic gravitational-wave backgroundsstochastic searches of gravitational wavessuspensionsthermal noiseundergroundVirgoPhysicsResearch & information: generalVajente Gabrieleedt1319290Vajente GabrieleothBOOK9910619468803321Present and Future of Gravitational Wave Astronomy3033704UNINA
