Este livro surgiu a partir de material coletado em um concurso literário, desenvolvido por nós, da Toma Aí Um Poema, através da proposta minimalista. Nós solicitamos que os autores enviassem poemas minimalistas, referindo-se às questões da estética do movimento e não à poética do minimalismo. Portanto, a seleção deveria partir do ponto de que a poesia minimalista se apoia na economia de palavras e classes gramaticais, por meio de uma organização sintática enxuta, composta pelo mínimo possível de sintagmas; mas que, ao recorrer ao mínimo, revela com elegância e impacto la crème de la crème de la poésie contemporaine. Contudo, não foi isso o que aconteceu exatamente. O ...
O Mulherio das Letras Portugal é um colectivo literário feminino que reúne autoras lusófonas nascidas, residentes ou que visitam Portugal para promover a literatura e a cultura entre os países de língua portuguesa. A nossa missão é promover, divulgar e criar oportunidades de encontros para discussões sobre assuntos que envolvam o universo feminino e também causas sociais. Sejam eles, encontros, saraus, oficinas, feiras, clube do livro/ círculo de leituras, colectâneas, entre outros, para dinamizar e fortalecer o encontro e intercâmbio das autoras lusófonas espalhadas pelo mundo.

This handbook is structured in two parts: it provides, on the one hand, a comprehensive (synchronic) overview of the phonetics and phonology (including prosody) of a breadth of Romance languages and focuses, on the other hand, on central topics of research in Romance segmental and suprasegmental phonology, including comparative and diachronic perspectives. Phonetics and phonology have always been a core discipline in Romance linguistics: the wide synchronic variety of languages and dialects derived from spoken Latin is extensively explored in numerous corpus and atlas projects, and for quite a few of these varieties there is also more or less ample documentation of at least some of their diachronic stages. This rich empirical database offers excellent testing grounds for different theoretical approaches and allows for substantial insights into phonological structuring as well as into (incipient, ongoing, or concluded) processes of phonological change. The volume can be read both as a state-of-the-art report of research in the field and as a manual of Romance languages with special emphasis on the key topics of phonetics and phonology.
Recent studies have shown that the heart possesses an intrinsic renin angiotensin system that is controlled by tissue-specific parameters that are activated by biomechanical stress. This book reviews the latest information on the way in which both the plasma and cardiac renin angiotensin systems affect heart function. It covers the cell and molecular biology of these systems, with contributions on renin synthesis, uptake and the intracellular signalling pathways. Particular insight comes from transgenic mouse models in which either mouse or human genes for various components of the renin angiotensin system are expressed. Other topics covered include wound healing as well as the trophic effects of aldosterone. Contains the most recent findings on the renin angiotensin system and the heart Written by an international team of distinguished scientists Covers both the cellular and molecular basis of the renin angiotensin system and the clinical relevance of this research

This carefully crafted ebook: "THE BLACK TULIP (Historical Adventure Novel)” is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. The story begins with the 1672 lynching of the Dutch Grand Pensionary Johan de Witt and his brother Cornelis by a wild mob of their own countrymen, considered by many as one of the most painful episodes in Dutch history, described by Dumas with a dramatic intensity. The city of Haarlem, Netherlands, has set a prize of ƒ100, 000 to the person who can grow a black tulip, sparking competition between the country's best gardeners to win the money, honor and fame. Only the city's oldest citizens remember the Tulip Mania thirty years prior, and the citizens throw themselves into the competition. The young and bourgeois Cornelius van Baerle has almost succeeded but is suddenly thrown into the Loevestein prison… Alexandre Dumas, père (1802-1870) was a French writer whose works have been translated into nearly 100 languages and he is one of the most widely read French authors. His most famous works are The Count of Monte Cristo and The Three Musketeers.
Decorridos quinze anos após a primeira edição de De Anita ao Museu, o livro de Paulo Mendes de Almeida permanece como bibliografi básica necessária para os que estudam as ativadades do meio artistico paulistano no perído enfocado pelo autor, ou seja, da exposição de Anita Malfatti em 1917 à fundação do Museu de Arte Moderna de São Paulo em 1948. Participante e testemunha, de relato fluente e informado, pointilhado de incidentes pitorescos os quais somente a sua vivência poderia trazer à tona, o causeur conhecido de todos os seus amigos, Paulo Mendes de Almeida ampliou generosamente nesta edição revista as suas memórias desse tempo. Uma 'tese', entretanto, ele deixa bem clara...
This book is unique for its comprehensive presentation of protease function in the stomach, colon, pancreas and liver under both physiological conditions and major diseases manifesting in these four organs. The individual chapters have been written by leaders in the field who outline in great detail the role of proteases in the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of disease. Animal models and experimental data are discussed in the context of patient-derived data.
Aminopeptidases in Biology and Disease provides a comprehensive review of the emerging role of aminopeptidases in a range of biological processes and disease situations. Processes as diverse as angiogenesis, antigen presentation, neuropeptide and hormone processing, pregnancy and reproduction, protein turnover, memory, inflammation, tumour growth, cancer and metastasis, blood pressure and hypertension all critically involve one or more aminopeptidases. The individual chapters have been written by experts in the field who have provided detailed accounts of the central roles played by various aminopeptidases in biology and disease.
