This book draws upon Vygotsky's idea of perezhivanie, emotions and imagination, and introduces the concepts of subjective sense and subjective configuration. These concepts are crucial for explaining and understanding children's development from a cultural-historical perspective. A book which theorises the relations between the social and the individual through a study of a child's perezhivanie, which analyses emotions more holistically, and advances the concepts of subjective sense and subjective configuration, is much needed. This book examines the complexity of human development through a comprehensive elaboration of these concepts, allowing for new insights to be put forward. It doesn't always follow the chronological order of Vygotsky's publications, as many of his works remained in the family archives until the 1980s, when his Selected Works were first published in Russian. There has long been a need for a contemporary book on the scholarly treatment of perezhevanie, emotions, and subjectivity, and as such this book revisits dominant representations of these concepts and then puts forward new ways of conceptualising and using them in empirical research. The chapters cover a broad range of case studies where the concepts of perezhivanie, emotions and imagination and subjective sense and subjective configuration are used to give new empirical and theoretical insights into the study of human development.
This book covers the most recent advances in all the topics with which researchers and professionals need to be familiar in order to obtain a better understanding of, and to better exploit, beneficial plant-microbe interactions. The use of microorganisms for agriculture and environmental applications is gaining importance worldwide to improve crop performance, but also for other environmental applications, such as bioremediation in chemically polluted soils. The search for an equilibrium between fundamental and applied aspects makes this book useful for professionals at various levels in the value chain of the "microbial biofertilizers". Challenges of comercializing biofertilizers involve efficiency of the products and safety for human health and the environment, topics that have paid central attention in this book. Students, scientists and biofertilizers developers will find updated and comprehensive information about the different aspects to be considered to address a successful introduction of biofertilizers in sustainable agriculture and environmental actions.
This book presents advances in alternative swarm development that have proved to be effective in several complex problems. Swarm intelligence (SI) is a problem-solving methodology that results from the cooperation between a set of agents with similar characteristics. The study of biological entities, such as animals and insects, manifesting social behavior has resulted in several computational models of swarm intelligence. While there are numerous books addressing the most widely known swarm methods, namely ant colony algorithms and particle swarm optimization, those discussing new alternative approaches are rare. The focus on developments based on the simple modification of popular swarm methods overlooks the opportunity to discover new techniques and procedures that can be useful in solving problems formulated by the academic and industrial communities. Presenting various novel swarm methods and their practical applications, the book helps researchers, lecturers, engineersand practitioners solve their own optimization problems.
The book is a comprehensive compilation of the most recent advances in the practical approach of the use of microbial probiotics for agriculture. Unlike the rest of the publications about biofertilizers, this book bridges the gap between the lab studies (molecular, physiological, omics, etc.) and the agronomic application.
Learn the five key skills needed to become a quadcopter developer: design, modeling, control, simulation, and implementation. This book provides a crash course on drone development for beginners and can also serve as a comprehensive reference for those who want a detailed guide for future projects.
You'll review key features often missed in other books: a deeper review of controls, step by step modeling, and methods for simulating and designing drones. Although the quadcopter is used as the main example throughout the book, you'll also see how to apply the development knowledge to other aircrafts or aerial systems.
Highly visual and easy to understand, this book features Simulink and Matlab tools, but the skills covered can be used in other environments such as Scilab or other programming languages. Drones To Go merges maker knowledge and technical information with scientific knowledge and design essentials.
What You'll Learn
Review the main families of control: geometric, linear, and common dynamic feedback control
Understand the mathematics of a quadcopterFollow step-by-step instructions on modeling and control equations
Focus on pedagogical development to answer any doubts in the design process

El libro, más allá de ser un mero soporte textual, debe ser considerado como una obra de arte en sí misma y como un medio de comunicación a muy diferentes niveles. Es un artefacto físico en cuya materialidad intervienen las más variadas técnicas; pero también es un espacio en el que lo textual y lo icónico interactúan, posibilitando un ámbito de mutua influencia entre literatura y artes plásticas. Nuestro propósito es presentar el libro desde sus más variadas dimensiones, ofreciendo un recorrido lo más completo y novedoso: desde su carácter material hasta el valor simbólico que lo rodea; desde su concepción más práctica hasta la más artística; desde su función como medio para conocer otros espacios y tiempos hasta su capacidad para adaptarse a los retos de la era digital.

La presente monografía está destinada a reivindicar una figura poco conocida del panorama artístico español fuera de Cataluña: Ramon Calsina Baró (1901-1992), un pintor difícil de encuadrar, lo que no le impidió desarrollar una notable e influyente trayectoria. Para ello nos centramos en dos de sus aportaciones como ilustrador: por un lado, inspiradas en Don Quijote, las litografías publicadas por Osa Menor (1958) y las ilustraciones editadas por Nauta (1967) y, por otro, los dibujos basados en la obra literaria de Edgar A. Poe (dieciocho dibujos "preparatorios" y las viñetas definitivas publicadas por Nauta en 1971). Es esta la primera vez que se publican al completo y de manera conjunta las dos series de dibujos originales.
