A geração de energia proveniente da fonte solar mostrou alto crescimento no Brasil nos últimos anos, sobretudo pela notória queda dos preços da tecnologia solar fotovoltaica. Em menos de uma década, tornou-se uma das fontes renováveis mais competitivas do país, inclusive nos leilões de energia. Além disso, há grande incidência de irradiação solar por todo o território brasileiro, fazendo com que o país tenha alta aptidão para esta fonte. Neste sentido, a energia solar fotovoltaica é um importante vetor para o desenvolvimento sustentável, resultando em geração de empregos e renda, na atração de investimentos e na diversidade e segurança da matriz elétrica nacional.

A informática está tornando-se um instrumento essencial dentro da Administração Pública. Até o ponto de que se pode falar de um novo agente público. A automação administrativa como fenômeno induzido pelo uso da informática e as tecnologias de tratamento da informação no exercício da função administrativa por parte da Administração são, hoje, aspectos presentes e irreversíveis. Ela dispensa o agente público da tarefa, comumente, daquelas que são massificadas e repetitivas. Inclusive, ninguém questiona as vantagens que o uso da tecnologia representa à Administração, inclusive, é atualmente indispensável. Entre as vantagens, chamam a atenção a racionalidade e a mod...
This book includes a selection of the articles accepted for presentation and discussion at the second International Symposium on Qualitative Research (ISQR2017), held in Salamanca, Spain, July 12-14, 2017. ISQR2017 is part of the Iberian-American Congress on Qualitative Research (CIAIQ), and featured four main application fields (Education, Health, Social Sciences, and Engineering and Technology) and seven main subjects: Rationale and Paradigms of Qualitative Research; Systematization of approaches with Qualitative Studies; Qualitative and Mixed Methods Research; Data Analysis Types; Innovative Processes of Qualitative Data Analysis; Qualitative Research in Web Contexts; Qualitative Analysis with the Support of Specific Software. This book is a valuable resource for academics, researchers, teachers and students who need information on the above topics, as well as on the use of Computer Assisted Qualitative Data AnalysiS (CAQDAS).
Paper-Based Analytical Devices for Chemical Analysis and Diagnostics is a valuable source of information for those interested in microfluidics, bioanalytical devices, chemical instrumentation/mechanization, in-field analysis, and more. This book provides a critical review of the scientific and technological progress of paper-based devices, as well as future trends in the field of portable paper-based sensors for chemical analysis and diagnostics directly at point of need. It uniquely focuses on the analytical techniques associated with each type of device, providing a practical framework for any researcher to use while learning how to use new types of devices in their work, deciding which ones are best for their needs, developing new devices, or working toward commercialization. - Reviews the evolution of this area and offers predictions for the future of the field of paper-based analytical devices - Explores the analytical techniques used in development of paper-based devices - Discusses challenges and shortcomings specific to each type of device, helping users and developers to avoid pitfalls
Terpenoids are commercially important chemicals found in essential oils and other natural plant sources. They are used in solving issues that affect agricultural production, making them a key component of sustainable agronomy. Terpenoids: Recent Advances in Extraction, Biochemistry and Biotechnology provides information about the varied use of terpenoids in the control of pests, microbial diseases, ticks, and weeds. Chapters have prioritized terpenoids produced by plants, endophytic fungi, propolis, and geopropolis. The book also provides focused information about the functions of terpenoids in plants, as well as their biosynthetic pathways of production. The reference provides readers with ...

This book presents the latest evidence-based guidelines for perinatal management and is designed to help obstetricians and neonatologists minimize complications and offer patients the best possible care. Since 1960, there has been a significant increase in basic and clinical investigations on normal and pathological pregnancy in the developed world. This has provided insights into the physiopathology of pregnant women, fetuses and newborns and led to the development of new technologies, bringing about a new medical subspecialty: perinatal medicine. The book is divided into eight main sections: The first examines basic periconceptional care and discusses the ethical aspects of perinatology. T...
