Remote Sensing provides information on how remote sensing relates to the natural resources inventory, management, and monitoring, as well as environmental concerns. It explains the role of this new technology in current global challenges. "Remote Sensing" will discuss remotely sensed data application payloads and...

The rapidly emerging field of foodomics examines food and nutrition by applying advanced "-omics" technologies in order to improve people's health, well-being, and knowledge. Using tools from genomics, transcriptomics,...

Die heutige Bildpraxis – wie sie sich beispielsweise in der Cyborg Art, Virtual Architecture oder Bio Art zeigt – befreit die Aktivität des Bildes, die bisher in der ästhetischen virtuellen Dimension eingesperrt war. Das Bild selbst kann sich nun als Lebewesen behaupten, indem es sich in einem Körper oder Material...

Welche Wege nimmt das Gepäck, wenn es vom Passagier am Check-In-Schalter auf das Band gelegt und am Ankunftsflughafen wieder vom Passagier in Empfang genommen wird? Welche Technologien und Konzepte könnten in den nächsten Jahren an den Flughäfen international anzutreffen sein, welche werden sich durchgesetzt haben. Wie...

Crystal engineers aim to control the way molecules aggregate in the crystalline phase and are therefore concerned with crystal structure prediction, polymorphism, and discovering the relative importance of different types of intermolecular forces and their influence on molecular structure. In order to design crystal structures, knowledge of...

Kenntnisse der Modellierung dokumentenbezogener Metadaten vermitteln die Autoren in dem Band vor allem durch praxisnahe Aufgabenstellungen – begleitet von theoretischen Erläuterungen und ergänzenden Übungen. Leser lernen, wie Datenbanken aufgebaut und mit Suchumgebungen ausgestattet werden. Dabei dienen Bilddokumente und...

Sustainable agriculture is a rapidly growing field aiming at producing food and energy in a sustainable way for humans and their children. It is a discipline that addresses current issues: climate change, increasing food and fuel prices, poor-nation starvation, rich-nation obesity, water pollution, soil erosion, fertility loss, pest control...
