The Eighth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) started a new phase in 2008 August, with new instrumentation and new surveys focused on Galactic structure and chemical evolution, measurements of the baryon oscillation feature in the clustering of galaxies and the quasar Ly[Greek letter alpha] forest, and a radial velocity search for planets around ~8000 stars. This paper describes the first data release of SDSS-III (and the eighth counting from the beginning of the SDSS). The release includes five-band imaging of roughly 5200 deg2 in the southern Galactic cap, bringing the total footprint of the SDSS imaging to 14,555 deg2, or over a third of the Celestial Sphere. All the imaging data have been reproces...
O Hospital dos Afetos
A maioria das pessoas que inaugura sua vida profissional já encontra estruturados o espaço e a função nos quais vai se inserir. No caso de Mariza e Sara, entretanto, foi diferente. Pelo que se depreende desse precioso depoimento aqui relatado com muita garra, elas tiveram que inventar o seu lugar no Hospital Federal dos Servidores do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. Apesar de imprescindÃvel, ele ainda não existia num complexo hospitalar daquela grandeza. A ciência da repercussão do sofrimento fÃsico no equilÃbrio emocional de todos os implicados nessa dinâmica é indispensável ao processo de cura. As autoras souberam construir e instalar esse campo de afetos (feliz nomeação que dá tÃ...
The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox
From the Costa Award winning, bestselling author of THIS MUST BE THE PLACE and I AM, I AM, I AM, comes an intense, breathtakingly accomplished story of a woman's life stolen, and reclaimed. 'Unputdownable' Ali Smith Edinburgh in the 1930s. The Lennox family is having trouble with its youngest daughter. Esme is outspoken, unconventional, and repeatedly embarrasses them in polite society. Something will have to be done. Years later, a young woman named Iris Lockhart receives a letter informing her that she has a great-aunt in a psychiatric unit who is about to be released. Iris has never heard of Esme Lennox and the one person who should know more, her grandmother Kitty, seems unable to answer Iris's questions. What could Esme have done to warrant a lifetime in an institution? And how is it possible for a person to be so completely erased from a family's history?

Mosaico das artes: as relações e extensões entre os objetos artÃsticos
Ler Mosaico das Artes é mergulhar nas inúmeras possibilidades analÃticas que relacionam a Literatura à s outras Artes. Seja por meio das relações que aproximam a Literatura a outra Arte, como extensão da Literatura Comparada, ou por meio das relações nas quais Artes como a Pintura, a Fotografia, o Teatro e a Música fazem parte do texto Literário. Esta obra convida o leitor a transcender o conceito de Literatura como texto escrito e a explorar e expandir as fronteiras interartes.
Restless
It is 1939. Eva Delectorskaya is a beautiful 28-year-old Russian émigrée living in Paris. As war breaks out she is recruited for the British Secret Service by Lucas Romer, a mysterious Englishman, and under his tutelage she learns to become the perfect spy, to mask her emotions and trust no one, including those she loves most. Since the war, Eva has carefully rebuilt her life as a typically English wife and mother. But once a spy, always a spy. Now she must complete one final assignment, and this time Eva can't do it alone: she needs her daughter's help.

Self-Healing and Self-Recovering Hydrogels
This volume covers experimental and theoretical advances on the relationship between composition, structure and macroscopic mechanical properties of novel hydrogels containing dynamic bonds. The chapters of this volume focus on the control of the mechanical properties of several recently discovered gels with the design of monomer composition, chain architecture, type of crosslinking or internal structure. The gels discussed in the different chapters have in common the capability to dissipate energy upon deformation, a desired property for mechanical toughness, while retaining the ability to recover the properties of the virgin material over time or to self-heal when put back in contact after...
Formulaic Sequences
Formulaic sequences (FS) are now recognized as an essential element of language use. However, research on FS has generally been limited to a focus on description, or on the place of FS in L1 acquisition. This volume opens new directions in FS research, concentrating on how FS are acquired and processed by the mind, both in the L1 and L2. The ten original studies in the volume illustrate the L2 acquisition of FS, the relationship between L1 and L2 FS, the relationship between corpus recurrence of FS and their psycholinguistic reality, the processes involved in reading FS, and pedagogical issues in teaching FS. The studies use a wide range of methodologies, many of them innovative, and thus the volume serves as a model for future research in the area. The volume begins with three survey chapters offering a background on the characteristics and measurement of FS.
Why Schools Matter
Uses the information gathered by the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) in 1995 to examine the connection between curriculum and achievement in the teaching of science and mathematics.
