Sonho e realidade
Christine é uma aristocrata inglesa nascida na Índia. Até os 15 anos estudou na Suíça, onde só viveu o sonho que passa a atuar na realidade, aos 20 anos, quando começa propriamente, o presente livro. A jovem é levada a mudar-se à Escócia, como preceptora dos filhos de um nobre, Lord Albert, que é casado e tem uma esposa enferma, Lady Melanie. Um romance platônico e um triângulo amoroso surgem para deixar Christine dividida entre o sonho e a realidade. Para solucionar esse dilema, a protagonista conhecerá diferentes pessoas, visitará outros países e amadurecerá, rapidamente, mudando sua vida e a dos que a cercam. Christine demonstra uma cultura extraordinária às mulheres de seu tempo, despertando curiosidade e estranheza entre homens e mulheres com quem terá que conviver. Uma história intensa, que aborda os encontros do destino, relações familiares, ascendência social e valores, como empatia, respeito e amizade.
Microbial Products for Health, Environment and Agriculture
This edited volume discusses the role of various microbial products in healthcare, environment and agriculture. Several microbial products are directly involved in solving major health problems, agricultural and environmental issues. In healthcare sector, microbes are used as anti-tumor compounds, antibiotics, anti-parasitic agents, enzyme inhibitors and immunosuppressive agents. Microbial products are also used to degrade xenobiotic compounds and bio-surfactants, for biodegradation process. In agriculture, microbial products are used to enhance nutrient uptake, to promote plant growth, or to control plant diseases. The book presents several such applications of microbes in the ecosystems. The chapters are contributed from across the globe and contain up-to-date information. This book is of interest to teachers, researchers, microbiologists and ecologists. Also the book serves as additional reading material for undergraduate and graduate students of agriculture, forestry, ecology, soil science, and environmental sciences.
Mensagem para você
Nas cartas a seguir, o livro descortina remetentes e seus destinatários. MENSAGEM PARA VOCÊ presta homenagem a esses relatos pessoais de forma significativa e memorável. Serão lembrados por muito tempo por estarem revelados e gravados em cada página deste livro. A Lura, ao retomar a tradição da conversa à distância, busca dar aos escritores a oportunidade de conservar suas lembranças em memórias materializadas. "Considero minhas obras como cartas que escrevi à posteridade sem esperar resposta." HEITOR VILLA-LOBOS "Cartas de amor são escritas não para dar notícias, não para contar nada, mas para que mãos separadas se toquem ao tocarem a mesma folha de papel." RUBEM ALVES "Assim como as chaves abrem cofres, as cartas abrem corações." JAMES HOWELL "Por que não escreveste nunca? Não é de te ler que mais tenho saudade. É o som da faca rasgando o envelope que trazia a tua carta. E sentir, de novo, uma carícia na alma, como se algures estivessem golpeando um cordão umbilical." MIA COUTO
Pediatric Rheumatic Diseases
Occupational therapists who work with adults with neurological problems must be able to appropriately and quickly use a variety of screening methods to pinpoint deficit areas and assess how these have impaired the person's daily life function. This comprehensive book compiles the most common occupational therapy screening methods used with adults with neurological conditions. Presented as a step-by-step instruction manual, the book includes copies of all screens and is presented in an easy-to-use format that facilitates its use in the clinic and in home health and community-based settings. It is also an ideal text for students, clearly outlining how to administer neurological screens in occupational therapy practice. Extensive use of photographs enhances the instructions and clearly shows practitioners how to use the various techniques. Book jacket.
Microbial Technology for Health and Environment
Rampant industrialization has caused high levels of contamination by various toxic chemicals in our water bodies, which is a matter of concern in terms of ecosystems, as well as human and animal health. Polluted wastewater can contaminate drinking water and is also is a causal factor for bio-magnification of heavy metals into our food cycle. In the last decade, several methodologies have been adopted to clean the wastewaters, and among these, microbial remediation has emerged as an effective technology. Several variants of microbial technologies have been developed for wastewater treatment and biodegradation specific to the industry, type of waste and toxicity of the chemicals. This book des...
Gastrointestinal Oncology
This is the third volume on gastrointestinal cancer of the Cancer Treatment and Research Series. The emphasis in this volume is to present a series of papers on areas of high clinical relevance in malignant diseases of the gut. As in the first and second volumes of this series, authors have been selected for their expertise and national and international prominence in their fields. This volume is organized so that papers explaining basic science pro spec tives proceed those dealing with clinical aspects of gastrointestinal cancer. It is clear that in many instances advances gastrointestinal carcinoma cannot be effectively treated if ' cure' is the desired goal. When faced with poorly treatab...
Microbial Enzymes: Roles and Applications in Industries
“Microbial Enzymes: Roles and applications in industry” offers an essential update on the field of microbial biotechnology, and presents the latest information on a range of microbial enzymes such as fructosyltransferase, laccases, amylases, lipase, and cholesterol oxidase, as well as their potential applications in various industries. Production and optimisation technologies for several industrially relevant microbial enzymes are also addressed. In recent years, genetic engineering has opened up new possibilities for redesigning microbial enzymes that are useful in multiple industries, an aspect that the book explores. In addition, it demonstrates how some of the emerging issues in the ...
Retroviral Immunology
World-renowned authorities address the most important aspects of the immunology of retroviruses, namely immune response, genetic and virologic factors modulating the response, and the HIV-specific humoral and cell-mediated responses. In addition to the basic concepts of immune restoration, key topics covered include immune restoration after antiviral therapy and vaccine-induced immune response. Up-to-date and authoritative, Retroviral Immunology: Immune Response and Restoration provides a much-needed critical synthesis of both the experimental and clinical aspects of retroviral infections, and lays the groundwork for developing effective restoration strategies for the many immune-compromised HIV and AIDS patients who suffer fatal opportunistic infections.
