This book explores the key principles and challenges of implementing the socio-ecological transition, with a particular focus on Quebec, Canada. It addresses these issues from both research and educational perspectives, offering actionable strategies to accelerate this transition across the province's various economic sectors. The book's structure aligns with the CIRODD (Interdisciplinary Research Center for Operationalization of Sustainable Development) scientific program, organized into two major sections and 11 thematic areas. The objective is to showcase the latest advancements in socio-ecological transition, drawing on a decade of research contributions from CIRODD. This book edition will highlight key innovations, emerging trends, and impactful solutions that have shaped the field, demonstrating CIRODD’s pivotal role in driving sustainable transformation.
Section 1 delves into practical interventions and strategies for citizen engagement, exploring transition initiatives, urban planning, and collaborative knowledge-building models. It brings together theoretical, practical, and experiential insights, emphasizing the vital role of research and the arts in facilitating the socio-ecological transition.
Section 2 equips readers with the necessary tools to support this transition, offering models and methods for analyzing complex systems. It highlights innovative digital approaches for developing circular and sustainable business models.
This is an open access book.
Monolayer films of functional perfluoropolyethers (PFPEs) that are partially bonded to disk surfaces are widely used to lubricate magnetic disks. The bonding ratio (i.e., ratio of bonded thickness to total film thickn...

Since its first edition in 2003, the XML Database Symposium series (XSym) has been a forum for academics, practitioners, users and vendors, allowing all to discuss the use of and synergy between database managementsystems and XML. The symposia have provided many opportunities for timely discussions on a broad range of topics pertaining to the theory and practice of XML data management and its applications. XSym 2010 continued this XSym tradition with a program consisting of 11 papers and a keynote shared with the 36th International Conference on Very Large Data Bases (VLDB 2010). We received 20 paper submissions, out of which 8 papers were accepted as full papers, and 3 as short papers. Each submitted paper underwent a rigorous and careful review by four referees. The contributions in these proceedings are a fine sample of the current research in XML query processing, including XPath satisfiability, approximate joins, pattern matching, linear index construction for trees, dynamic labeling, and XQuery update translation based on schema. The papers focus on recent advances in detecting fu- tional dependencies, modeling complex XML twig pattern output, promoting sem- tics capability of XML keys, and searchable compression of Microsoft office do- ments. In addition, we include a paper that shares lessons learned from real XML database development.

Achieving a truly sustainable energy transition requires progress across multiple dimensions beyond climate change mitigation goals. This article reviews and synthesizes results from disparate strands of literature on the coeffects of mitigation to inform climate policy choices at different governance levels. The literature documents many potential cobenefits of mitigation for nonclimate objectives, such as human health and energy security, but little is known about their overall welfare implications. Integrated model studies highlight that climate policies as part of well-designed policy packages reduce the overall cost of achieving multiple sustainability objectives. The incommensurability and uncertainties around the quantification of coeffects become, however, increasingly pervasive the more the perspective shifts from sectoral and local to economy wide and global, the more objectives are analyzed, and the more the results are expressed in economic rather than nonmonetary terms. Different strings of evidence highlight the role and importance of energy demand reductions for realizing synergies across multiple sustainability objectives.

This two volume set LNCS 5981 and LNCS 5982 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Database systems for Advanced Applications, DASFAA 2010, held in Tsukuba, Japan, in April 2010. The 39 revised full papers and 16 revised short papers presented together with 3 invited keynote papers, 22 demonstration papers, 6 industrial papers, and 2 keynote talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 285 submissions. The papers of the first volume are organized in topical sections on P2P-based technologies, data mining technologies, XML search and matching, graphs, spatial databases, XML technologies, time series and streams, advanced data mining, query processing, Web, sensor networks and communications, information management, as well as communities and Web graphs. The second volume contains contributions related to trajectories and moving objects, skyline queries, privacy and security, data streams, similarity search and event processing, storage and advanced topics, industrial, demo papers, and tutorials and panels.

CHAPLIN, JOHN B.The Author was educated in Britain at the Miles Aeronautical College
receiving a Royal Aeronautical Society Graduate diploma in 1949. From 1949 to 1960 he was employed by the Saunders Roe Aircraft Company and held positions in aerodynamics and wind tunnel departments participating in the design of the “Princess” flying boats the SRA1 fighter flying boat and the SR53 rocket interceptor cooperating during the latter program with Royal Aircraft Establishment in the development of free-flight model spinning research techniques. In 1958 he was appointed head of the Wind Tunnel and Dynamic Research Department of Saunders Roe and was responsible for the original research evaluation and assessment of Cockerell's hovercraft proposals. He was responsible for the conceptual design of the SRN1 hovercraft the trials and development of that vehicle and the aerodynamic research of the SRN2 program. During the early trials of the SRN1 including the first crossing of the English channel he was a member of the flight crew. In 1960 he joined the Follard Division of the Hawker Siddeley Group as chief hovercraft development engineer taking part in a program to evaluate and exploit the overland possibilities of the ground effect machines. He was responsible for the design development and driving of several test vehicles including the GERM and a series of plenum cell pallets for the Army. During this period he was chairman of the British Hovercraft Operational Panel set up to aid the Air Registration Board and the Ministry of Transport. Mr. Chaplin joined Bell Aerosystems Company in March 1962 as Chief of Air Cushion Vehicle systems in Advanced Design. In this capacity he is responsible for designing and developing new ACV concepts. Noteworthy in this effort has been his design of a tri-cell type ACV. Mr. Chaplin was also responsible for the fabrication and testing of this machine now called the Caraboa. It is a two-place ACV designed for military and commercial utility use. Mr. Chaplin has also conducted a study and tes
