Food is more than simple sustenance. It feeds our minds as well as our bodies. It nurtures us emotionally as well as physically. It holds memories. In fact, one of the surprising consequences of globalization and urbanization is the expanding web of emotional attachments to farmland, to food growers, and to place. And there is growing affection, too, for home gardening and its "grow your own food" ethos. Without denying the gravity of the problems of feeding the earth's population while conserving its natural resources, Seeds of Resistance, Seeds of Hope reminds us that there are many positive movements and developments that demonstrate the power of opposition and optimism. This broad collection brings to the table a bag full of tools from anthropology, sociology, genetics, plant breeding, education, advocacy, and social activism. By design, multiple voices are included. They cross or straddle disciplinary, generational, national, and political borders. Contributors demonstrate the importance of cultural memory in the persistence of traditional or heirloom crops, as well as the agency exhibited by displaced and persecuted peoples in place-making and reconstructing nostalgic landscapes (including gardens from their homelands). Contributions explore local initiatives to save native and older seeds, the use of modern technologies to conserve heirloom plants, the bioconservation efforts of indigenous people, and how genetically modified organisms (GMOs) have been successfully combated. Together they explore the conservation of biodiversity at different scales, from different perspectives, and with different theoretical and methodological approaches. Collectively, they demonstrate that there is reason for hope"--Provided by publisher.Agrobiodiversity conservationCross-cultural studiesFood securityCross-cultural studiesLocal foodsCross-cultural studiesSeedsCross-cultural studiesElectronic books.Agrobiodiversity conservationFood securityLocal foodsSeeds333.95/316Nazarea Virginia D(Virginia Dimasuay),1954-896158Rhoades Robert E880167Andrews-Swann Jenna1980-896159MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910453750103321Seeds of resistance, seeds of hope2001861UNINA$90.0012/02/2019Bio02992oam 2200565I 450 991080018500332120230807204141.01-4987-6019-80-429-10232-11-4665-8406-810.1201/b18384 (CKB)2670000000560202(EBL)1707786(SSID)ssj0001535645(PQKBManifestationID)11841000(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001535645(PQKBWorkID)11499746(PQKB)11057517(MiAaPQ)EBC1707786(OCoLC)907924065(EXLCZ)99267000000056020220180331h20152015 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrArtificial intelligence tools decision support systems in condition monitoring and diagnosis /Diego Galar PascualBoca Raton, Florida :CRC Press,[2015]©20151 online resource (528 p.)Description based upon print version of record.1-4665-8405-X Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters.Front Cover; Contents; Preface; Acknowledgments; Author; Chapter 1: Massive Field Data Collection: Issues and Challenges; Chapter 2: Condition Monitoring: Available Techniques; Chapter 3: Challenges of Condition Monitoring Using AI Techniques; Chapter 4: Input and Output Data; Chapter 5: Two-Stage Response Surface Approaches to Modeling Drug Interaction; Chapter 6: Nearest Neighbor-Based Techniques; Chapter 7: Cluster-Based Techniques; Chapter 8: Statistical Techniques; Chapter 9: Information Theory-Based Techniques; Chapter 10: Uncertainty Management; Back CoverArtificial Intelligence Tools: Decision Support Systems in Condition Monitoring and Diagnosis discusses various white- and black-box approaches to fault diagnosis in condition monitoring (CM).
