Soft Matter
"Soft matter science is an interdisciplinary field at the interface of physics, biology, chemistry, engineering, and materials science. It encompasses colloids, polymers, and liquid crystals as well as rapidly emerging topics such as metamaterials, memory formation and learning in matter, bioactive systems, and artificial life. This textbook introduces key phenomena and concepts in soft matter from a modern perspective, marrying established knowledge with the latest developments and applications. The presentation integrates statistical mechanics, dynamical systems, and hydrodynamic approaches, emphasizing conservation laws and broken symmetries as guiding principles while paying attention to computational and machine learning advances. The book features introductory chapters on fluid mechanics, elasticity, and stochastic phenomena and also covers advanced topics such as pattern formation and active matter. it discusses technological applications as well as relevant phenomena in the life sciences and offers perspectives on emerging research directions"--
Dynamical Heterogeneities in Glasses, Colloids, and Granular Media
Most of the solid materials we use in everyday life, from plastics to cosmetic gels exist under a non-crystalline, amorphous form: they are glasses. Yet, we are still seeking a fundamental explanation as to what glasses really are and to why they form. In this book, we survey the most recent theoretical and experimental research dealing with glassy physics, from molecular to colloidal glasses and granular media. Leading experts in this field present broad and original perspectives on one of the deepest mysteries of condensed matter physics, with an emphasis on the key role played by heterogeneities in the dynamics of glassiness.
Advances of Basic Science for Second Generation Bioethanol from Sugarcane
This book focuses on the basic science recently produced in Brazil for the improvement of sugarcane as a bioenergy crop and as a raw material for 2nd generation bioethanol production. It reports achievements that have been advancing the science of cell walls, enzymes, genetics, and sustainability related to sugarcane technologies and give continuity to the research reported in the “Routes to Cellulosic Ethanol”, from Springer. The Introduction (Chapter I) explains how the National Institute of Science and Technology of Bioethanol, founded in 2008 in Brazil, became part of the main international initiatives that started to search for forms to use biomass for bioethanol production in Brazi...
Theory of Simple Glasses
This self-contained text describes the modern mean field theory of simple structural glasses using a quantum statistical mechanical approach. Describing the theory in clear and simple terms, this is a valuable resource for graduate students and researchers working in condensed matter physics and statistical mechanics.
Women at the Margins
A compelling look at the crisis of disadvantaged women This powerful document takes a sobering look at the phenomenon of marginalized women pushed to the edges of society, holding on with the barest of hope and extraordinary bravery. Handicapped by the increasing societal inequality they face as an everyday fact of life, these women (and in many cases, their children) have been disconnected from the mainstream for reasons of age, race, gender, health, incarceration, domestic abuse, unwanted pregnancy, unemployment, and economic circumstance. They are poor in an affluent society, powerless in a powerful nation, and the suffering caused by their exclusion is poignant and troubling. Eloquently ...

Inside the Inner Circle
Through a series of factual, real-life incidents that occurred in prisons throughout the state of Florida, the author, Gary York, will take you inside the prisons inner circle of crime and corruption, revealing true accounts of prison drug trade, extortion, embezzlement, and even death at the hands of inmates and corrupt staff members. Corruption that runs so deep the honest staff members do not know who to trust. You will also read about the experiences of retired correctional officer staff members who tracked down and recaptured escapees and come away with firsthand knowledge of the dangers encountered by our brave public servants during prison riots. After reading these stories, you will probably ask yourself this question: Has corruption in our entire United States prison system spun completely out of control?
MyNews explica tempos de chumbo
Este livro reúne imagens e memórias de mais de duas décadas do período brasileiro nomeado Ditadura Civil-Militar no Brasil. Ao provocar a lembrança do golpe de estado de 1964, não há como conter a reflexão sobre as ameaças, internas e externas, ainda persistentes, que tem sido enfrentadas pelos democratas com o exercício cotidiano da política, a defesa dos valores coletivos e a imaginação de novas utopias para o Brasil. Diante desses eventos, este livro é um valioso testemunho e um alerta sobre o totalitarismo que oprimiu a sociedade brasileira por muitos anos, mas é também o manifesto da esperança e da certeza de que resistir é preciso, ontem, hoje e sempre.
Corporate Branding in Facebook Fan Pages
In Corporate Branding in Facebook Fan Pages: Ideas for Improving Your Brand Value, the authors show how companies can improve their brand value by fostering their online corporate reputation. Communication actions on Facebook fan pages are an important tool on the road to reputation. Considering that reputation is essentially the long-term image of a brand, the book suggests strategies for improving this image in the short term by nurturing engagement with consumers. Word of mouth (WOM) is an important tool for creating and replicating the image of a trustworthy company, and these repeated images can result in a solid reputation or increased brand value. Also addressed is how company’s strategies influence this process, and how online communication benefits from the integration of the manager’s vision with communication policies.
