Os textos reunidos são desdobramentos de comunicações que integraram as sessões do VI Colóquio Internacional Áfricas, Literatura e Contemporaneidade, realizado na Faculdade de Filosofia, Letras e Ciências Humanas da Universidade de São Paulo em 2019. Composto por resultados de trabalhos em andamento, desenvolvidos em sua maioria por estudantes vinculados a Programas de Pós-Graduação, o volume constitui uma amostragem dos caminhos que vêm sendo percorridos no domínio das Literaturas Africanas entre nós. Fruto de um esforço coletivo de investimento nas discussões que o presente reclama, os artigos, na sua diversidade, inclusive pela opção transdisciplinar que caracteriza os e...
Neste livro, Suzane Caroline Gil Frutuoso analisa o retorno de brasileiros depois de anos no exterior e o impacto de voltar a viver na cidade de São Paulo, com suas vantagens e desvantagens do ponto de vista social, econômico, urbano e emocional. Antes esperançosos quanto ao retorno, a maior parte demonstrou decepção com situações que parecem nunca mudar, como segurança, transporte, educação. É um retrato de uma nova face dos deslocamentos, das migrações e da mobilidade humana no século 21 num cenário globalizado e com um ambiente urbano - a cidade de São Paulo - que afeta diretamente a identidade na sociedade e a maneira de se relacionar.
"Apresenta ao leitor um corpo fascinante sobre a produção artística na Índia e no Brasil, ambos conectados pelos interesses comerciais e perspectivas culturais entrelaçados pelo Império português, por sua vez permeado pela fé das crenças católicas romanas, que se fundiu com a dimensão econômica e artística dos artesãos hindus de Goa." (Edward A. Alpers – Department of History/ University of California)
Estuaries of South Africa presents an authoritative and comprehensive review of the current status of that country's estuarine research and management. Contributors provide information on a wide range of topics, including geological, physical and chemical processes; diversity and productivity of plant and animal communities; interactions among estuarine organisms; and system properties, ecological modeling and current management issues. This broad scope is complemented by a comparative perspective, resulting in a volume that provides a unique contribution to the subject of estuarine ecology. This volume is relevant to all those working in this field throughout the world.
This book provides a detailed overview of the latest innovations in respiratory endoscopy, from both diagnostic and therapeutic perspectives; each chapter focuses on one disease and the techniques for early diagnosis as well as treatment. It comprehensively covers treatment and procedures, including simultaneous X-ray fluoroscopy and its use during bronchoscopic procedures. This fast-developing technology is essential for the medical management of non-malignant and malignant diseases of the chest, especially lung cancer. Respiratory Endoscopy describes the cooperation between all the members of the healthcare team, and as such is a valuable resource not only for medical staff, but also for radiological technicians and nursing staff who contribute significantly in the care of the patients undergoing these invasive procedures. By promoting teamwork and providing practical know-how, it will improve the success and safety of respiratory endoscopy procedures.
Web 2.0 makes headlines, but how does it make money? This concise guide explains what's different about Web 2.0 and how those differences can improve your company's bottom line. Whether you're an executive plotting the next move, a small business owner looking to expand, or an entrepreneur planning a startup, Web 2.0: A Strategy Guide illustrates through real-life examples how businesses, large and small, are creating new opportunities on today's Web. This book is about strategy. Rather than focus on the technology, the examples concentrate on its effect. You will learn that creating a Web 2.0 business, or integrating Web 2.0 strategies with your existing business, means creating places onli...

The main topic of the book are the superconducting dipole and quadrupole magnets needed in high-energy accelerators and storage rings for protons, antiprotons or heavy ions. The basic principles of low-temperature superconductivity are outlined with special emphasis on the effects which are relevant for accelerator magnets. Properties and fabrication methods of practical superconductors are described. Analytical methods for field calculation and multipole expansion are presented for coils without and with iron yoke. The effect of yoke saturation and geometric distortions on field quality is studied. Persistent magnetization currents in the superconductor and eddy currents the copper part of ...
The physics of strongly interacting matter in an external magnetic field is presently emerging as a topic of great cross-disciplinary interest for particle, nuclear, astro- and condensed matter physicists. It is known that strong magnetic fields are created in heavy ion collisions, an insight that has made it possible to study a variety of surprising and intriguing phenomena that emerge from the interplay of quantum anomalies, the topology of non-Abelian gauge fields, and the magnetic field. In particular, the non-trivial topological configurations of the gluon field induce a non-dissipative electric current in the presence of a magnetic field. These phenomena have led to an extended formula...
