Rodent Model as Tools in Ethical Biomedical Research
The objective of this book is to concisely present information with respect to appropriate use of experimental rodents in research. The principles elaborated seek to provide knowledge of the techniques involved in both management and scientific research to all who use laboratory animals, with a focus on the well-being and ethics regarding rodents and also to fortify the awareness of the importance of the animal as a study object and to offer orientation and assistance in conducting laboratory research, education or tests.
Adverbial Modification
This volume contains a selection of papers presented at the Cinquième Colloque de Linguistique Romane/Fifth Colloquium on Romance Linguistics, which was held at Groningen University in September 1998. The theme of the colloquium was ‘adverbial modification in Romance languages'. Therefore, adverbial modification is the common denominator of the works in this volume. However, and interestingly enough, the viewpoints taken by the Various authors differ considerably: some of the works deal with traditional adverbs (Ocampo, Kampers-Manhe, Bok-Bennema, Molendijk), others with elements such as mood (de Jonge, Quer) or negation (de Swart). Degree modification is discussed by Cover and Doetjes. M...
Collected Stories
This relaunching of a Marquez's celebrated short-story collection presents the stories in the chronological order of their publication in Spanish from three volumes: "Eyes of a Blue Dog, Big Mama's Funeral, " and "The Incredible and Sad Tale of Innocent Erendira and Her Heartless Grandmother."
Collected Stories
Sweeping through crumbling towns, travelling fairs and windswept ports, Gabriel García Márquez introduces a host of extraordinary characters and communities in his mesmerising tales of everyday life: smugglers, bagpipers, the President and Pope at the funeral of Macondo's revered matriarch; a very old angel with enormous wings. Teeming with the magical oddities for which his novels are loved, Márquez's stories are a delight. Gabriel García Márquez's Collected Stories are re-issued on Gabriel García Márquez 's birthday to celebrate the publication of his books as ebooks for the first time.
Crescer longe de ti
Crescer longe de ti é um livro com duplo sentido. Crescer longe de alguém tão próximo e com quem fomos vida. Viver essa perda abrupta quando ainda somos adolescentes. Saber viver a morte e saber aceitá-la num “aprender a viver sem ti”. Aprender a viver apenas com recordações, com traços e expressões que guardo desse alguém. Num outro sentido, Crescer longe de ti, revela um outro momento, também inesperado, da minha vida quando uma doença, que para muitos, não passa de uma mera futilidade, mergulha o meu corpo. Falo de uma Anorexia Nervosa, e invoco a maneira como áspera e inesperadamente a doença se apodera do meu corpo e deixa marcas quase de uma vida com fim. Cinco anos vividos de forma audaz, egoísta, aberrante conjugado com um longo e difícil processo de recuperação. Contundo, aprendi a pouco e pouco a “crescer longe” dessa difícil doença e da sua tirania. Este crescer é conjugado com liberdade, força, determinação, aprender a ser, aprender a amar, aprender a viver, aprender a mostrar aos outros através de palavras como o “sub-mundo” da Anorexia não corrói para sempre a nossa alma.
Nuclear Power
Advances in reactor designs, materials and human-machine interfaces guarantee safety and reliability of emerging reactor technologies, eliminating possibilities for high-consequence human errors as those which have occurred in the past. New instrumentation and control technologies based in digital systems, novel sensors and measurement approaches facilitate safety, reliability and economic competitiveness of nuclear power options. Autonomous operation scenarios are becoming increasingly popular to consider for small modular systems. This book belongs to a series of books on nuclear power published by InTech. It consists of four major sections and contains twenty-one chapters on topics from key subject areas pertinent to instrumentation and control, operation reliability, system aging and human-machine interfaces. The book targets a broad potential readership group - students, researchers and specialists in the field - who are interested in learning about nuclear power.
Tutti i racconti
Gabriel García Márquez aveva quarant'anni quando scrisse il celebre racconto Monologo di Isabel mentre vede piovere su Macondo, dove dà vita a quello strabiliante spazio narrativo, tanto immaginario quanto reale, che sarebbe diventato il più intenso luogo letterario del nostro tempo. Con Macondo, Márquez inaugurò l'epoca del realismo magico, la peculiare commistione tra la realtà drammatica dell'America Latina e la dimensione leggendaria e mitica che lo consacrò come uno dei massimi autori della letteratura mondiale. Da quel momento non smise più di raccontare il fascino e la purezza della cultura degli indios, i loro dolori malinconici e la dolce intensità dei Caraibi americani, c...
Typologie et linguistique contrastive
Cet ouvrage a comme objectif de rendre accessible deux disciplines, la typologie et la linguistique contrastive aux étudiants qui s'intéressent à la diversité des langues, en particulier aux étudiants de Français Langue Etrangère. Les études typologiques offrent un cadre théorique qui permet d'avoir une vue d'ensemble sur certains problèmes syntaxiques et morphologiques, comme l'ordre des mots, le caractère universel ou non des classes de mots, les propriétés des prépositions ou l'emploi des articles. Les études contrastives présentées portent entre autres sur l'expression des catégories grammaticales, telles que le genre, le nombre, le cas, le temps et l'aspect, en français, en hongrois et en allemand. L'approche translinguistique proposée ici permet de mieux expliquer certains points grammaticaux qui présentent des difficultés dans la description et dans l'apprentissage des langues.
