Bøker av Pedro Ponce

Uno de los primeros ejemplos de religiosos que buscaban subrayar el hecho en que los indios practicaban todavía la idolatría, en un momento en el que se consideraba que todos eran ya católicos fue Pedro Ponce con su obra Breve relación de los dioses y ritos de la gentilidad. En ella se advierte sobre aspectos cotidianos de la los indios de Zumpango en el arzobispado de México.La redacción de dicha obra pudo ser entre 1575 y 1626 que son los años en los que Ponce era clero secular de ese lugar. Es un texto breve que entre otras cosas habla de los médicos de los indios, de los cirujanos que curan y para hacerlo se valen de invocaciones, de los que ahuyentan el mal tiempo y algunos temas más.Esta Breve relación de los dioses y ritos de la gentilidad sorprende por su imparcialidad y precisión. A diferencia de otras crónicas, aquí las costumbres indias son descritas por Pedro Ponce en su contexto sin comparaciones despectivas, ni una perspectiva cristiana.

This book illustrates how the advanced technology developed for smart cities requires increasing interaction with citizens to motivate and incentive them. Megacities' needs have been encouraging for the creation of smart cities in which the needs of inhabitants are collected using virtualization and digitalization systems. On the other hand, machine learning algorithms have been implemented to provide better solutions for diverse areas in smart cities, such as transportation and health. Besides, conventional electric grids have transformed into smart grids, improving energy quality. Gamification, serious games, machine learning, dynamic interfaces, and social networks are some elements integrated holistically to provide novel solutions to design and develop smart cities. Also, this book presents in a friendly way the concept of social devices that are incorporated into smart homes and buildings. This book is used to understand and design smart cities where citizens are strongly interconnected so the demand response time can be reduced.

This book deals with different types of greenhouses, materials, structures, advanced control techniques and tendencies that are needed for designing and controlling an advanced greenhouse. The control system is presented as an integral system which covers the explanation of basic and advanced concepts for a real time controller. Also, structural analysis is introduced, whereby mechanical design is regarded as a key factor. The book incorporates simulations and experimental results, and utilizes LabVIEW and ADAMS software. Finally, it provides a perspective on the present state and future of greenhouses globally.
