Abstract Addressing the global challenges of climate change, food security, and poverty alleviation requires enhancing adaptive capacity mitigation potential agricultural landscapes across tropics. However, adaptation activities tend to be approached separately due a variety technical, political, financial, socioeconomic constraints. Here, we demonstrate that many tropical systems can provide both benefits if they are designed managed appropriately larger landscape context is considered....

As global demand for livestock products (such as meat, milk and eggs) is expected to double by 2050, necessary increases future production must be reconciled with negative environmental impacts that cause. This paper describes the LivestockPlus concept demonstrates how sowing of improved forages can lead sustainable intensification mixed crop-forage-livestock-tree systems in tropics producing multiple social, economic benefits. Sustainable not only improves productivity tropical forage-based...

Sign languages (SL) are the first language for most deaf people. Consequently, bidirectional communication among and non-deaf people has always been a challenging issue. usage increased due to inclusion policies general public agreement, which must then become evident in information technologies, many facets that comprise sign understanding its computational treatment. In this study, we conduct thorough systematic mapping of translation-enabling technologies languages. This considered...

Sign language is the natural for deaf, something that comes naturally as a form of non-verbal communication between signers, ruled by set grammars in constant evolution universe signs represents small fraction all words Spanish. This limitation combined with lack knowledge sign verbal speakers creates separation where both parties (signers and non-signers) are unable to efficiently communicate, problem increases under specific context such emergency situations, first-response teams EMTs,...

The study of phonological proximity makes it possible to establish a basis for future decision-making in the treatment sign languages. Knowing how close set signs are allows interested party decide more easily its by clustering, as well teaching language third parties based on similarities. In addition, lays foundation strengthening disambiguation modules automatic recognition systems.
