As emphasized by international organizations (UN, FAO), building skills and abilities in the agricultural and food sectors are necessary when launching innovation processes for the benefit of suffering populations.

Free Download The Global Restructuring of the Steel Industry: Innovations, Institutions and Industrial Change By Anthony D’Costa
1999 | 248 Pages | ISBN: 0415148278 | PDF | 13 MB
Drawing upon case studies of the steel industry in the US, Japan, South Korea, Brazil and India, this book explains how and why the steel industry has shifted from advanced capitalist countries to late industrializing countries. Anthony P. D’Costa examines the relationship between industrial change and institutional responses to technological diffusion. He reveals the governments’ and firms’ differing responses to innovations lead to an uneven diffusion of technology and industrial reorganization. Moreover, when it becomes clear that existing institutional arrangements no longer serve the industry well, new arrangement are created which allow for innovative behaviour. Often this has created opportunities for technological ‘leapfrogging’ and the emergence of new technologies in unexpected places.

Free Download Innovations in Robot Mobility and Control By Srikanta Patnaik, Lakhmi C. Jain, Spyros G. Tzafestas, Germano Resconi, Amit Konar
2006 | 306 Pages | ISBN: 3540268928 | PDF | 4 MB
There exists quite a vast literature on mobile robots, covering fundamental principles on motion control and path-planning in indoor environments using ultrasonic/laser transducers. However, there is a scarcity of books/collective documents on vision based navigation of mobile robots and multi-agent systems. The book fills this gap and attempts to develop interesting models for vision based map building in indoor and outdoor environments, precise motion control, navigation in dynamic environment, and above all multi-agent co-operation of robots. The most important aspect of this book is that the principles and models introduced in the text are all field-tested, and thus can readily be used in solving real world problems, such as factory automation, disposal of nuclear wastes, landmine clearing and computerized surgery. Primarily meant for graduate students and researchers in robotics, the book is equally useful to interested audience of any discipline for its contents and simplicity in presentation style.
