Perspectivas metateóricas da cultura e da comunicação, terceiro volume da coleção Faces da cultura e da comunicação organizacional, reúne uma diversidade de especialistas notáveis com o intuito de examinar as maneiras multifacetadas de interação entre organizações, comunicação e cultura. Sob perspectivas distintas, os autores analisam a constituição da cultura organizacional e sua condição em um mundo no qual as organizações estão em constante evolução e, nesse exercício, oferecem novas direções para se conceituar a cultura. Evitando tratá-la como um objeto ou símbolo, eles a estabelecem como um conjunto de significados. A cultura organizacional torna-se, então,...
Volume 71 of Reviews in Mineralogy and Geochemistry represents an extensive review of the material presented by the invited speakers at a short course on Theoretical and Computational Methods in Mineral Physics held prior (December 10-12, 2009) to the Annual fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco, California. The meeting was held at the Doubletree Hotel & Executive Meeting Center in Berkeley, California. Contents: Density functional theory of electronic structure: a short course for mineralogists and geophysicists The Minnesota density functionals and their applications to problems in mineralogy and geochemistry Density-functional perturbation theory for quasi-harmon...
The fourth edition of Teaching Secondary Science has been fully updated and includes a wide range of new material. This invaluable resource offers a new collection of sample lesson plans and includes two new chapters covering effective e-learning and advice on supporting learners with English as a second language. It continues as a comprehensive guide for all aspects of science teaching, with a focus on understanding pupils’ alternative frameworks of belief, the importance of developing or challenging them and the need to enable pupils to take ownership of scientific ideas. This new edition supports all aspects of teaching science in a stimulating environment, enabling pupils to understand...
This volume, The Brazilian Studies in the Philosophy and History of Science, is the first attempt to present to a general audience, works from Brazil on this subject. The included papers are original, covering a remarkable number of relevant topics of philosophy of science, logic and on the history of science. The Brazilian community has increased in the last years in quantity and in quality of the works, most of them being published in respectable international journals on the subject. The chapters of this volume are forwarded by a general introduction, which aims to sketch not only the contents of the chapters, but it is conceived as a historical and conceptual guide to the development of the field in Brazil. The introduction intends to be useful to the reader, and not only to the specialist, helping them to evaluate the increase in production of this country within the international context.
A presente obra é uma reunião de artigos que analisam diversas experiências e atividades que se destacam e se referem à execução de políticas territoriais (públicas e privadas), que têm como palco principal a Amazônia paraense. Os autores, em sua maioria, fazem parte de grupos de pesquisa, ensino e extensão que se debruçam a entender a realidade amazônica em diferentes abordagens. Desse modo, o uso do território, com seus recursos e indivíduos, é o principal foco de investigação e debate constante nos textos aqui presentes, onde as ideias que compõem os textos enfatizam, principalmente, quatro temáticas, que são: 1) Política territorial, representação espacial e seus reflexos; 2) Ordenamento territorial urbano; 3) Ordenamento territorial e educação no campo e; 4) Territórios da mineração. De alguma forma, os textos procuram contribuir na discussão territorial que se desenvolve no contexto amazônico e que, porventura, no futuro, possam ajudar a tornar essa complexidade mais inteligível a outros pesquisadores que, com certeza, buscarão entender os mesmos fenômenos, sobre outra ótica.
Liquid Phase Extraction thoroughly presents both existing and new techniques in liquid phase extraction. It not only provides all information laboratory scientists need for choosing and utilizing suitable sample preparation procedures for any kind of sample, but also showcases the contemporary uses of sample preparation techniques in the most important industrial and academic project environments, including countercurrent chromatography, pressurized-liquid extraction, single-drop Microextraction, and more. Written by recognized experts in their respective fields, it serves as a one-stop reference for those who need to know which technique to choose for liquid phase extraction. Used in conjunction with a similar release, Solid Phase Extraction, it allows users to master this crucial aspect of sample preparation. - Defines the current state-of-the-art in extraction techniques and the methods and procedures for implementing them in laboratory practice - Includes extensive referencing that facilitates the identification of key information - Aimed at both entry-level scientists and those who want to explore new techniques and methods

Educational researchers are bound to see this as a timely work. It brings together the work of leading experts in argumentation in science education. It presents research combining theoretical and empirical perspectives relevant for secondary science classrooms. Since the 1990s, argumentation studies have increased at a rapid pace, from stray papers to a wealth of research exploring ever more sophisticated issues. It is this fact that makes this volume so crucial.
An assembly line is a manufacturing process in which parts are added to a product in a sequential manner using optimally planned logistics to create a finished product in the fastest possible way. It is a flow-oriented production system where the productive units performing the operations, referred to as stations, are aligned in a serial manner. The present edited book is a collection of 12 chapters written by experts and well-known professionals of the field. The volume is organized in three parts according to the last research works in assembly line subject. The first part of the book is devoted to the assembly line balancing problem. It includes chapters dealing with different problems of ALBP. In the second part of the book some optimization problems in assembly line structure are considered. In many situations there are several contradictory goals that have to be satisfied simultaneously. The third part of the book deals with testing problems in assembly line. This section gives an overview on new trends, techniques and methodologies for testing the quality of a product at the end of the assembling line.
