¿Qué hay de utopía en la realidad? Es una pregunta que se formula con frecuencia y que conduce a reflexionar sobre nuestra compleja relación con la definición de realidad. En el libro que el lector tiene en sus manos y que se ha animado a revisar, se encuentra explicita una definición de realidad. Es un entretejido intelectual elaborado por una joven investigadora urbana, bumanguesa, quien al mirar desde la academia sus recuerdos de infancia y adolescencia encontró tremendamente atractiva la percepción de un inusual cruce de calles, superpuesto en diagonales, sobre el testarudo patrón cuadriculado de las manzanas de su ciudad. Al recorrer con la mirada un grupo de aerofotografías q...
This book offers a comprehensive exploration of research on the essential relationship of the coenzyme Q10 and the process of aging in living organisms. CoQ10 is an important factor in two main aspects of cell physiology: bioenergetics and antioxidant protection. While primary deficiency of CoQ10 is associated with severe and lethal disease, secondary deficiency can be associated with the progression of mitochondrial dysfunction linked to the lessening of biological activities during aging. The book is organized in four sections. The first offers an overview of the function of CoQ10, highlighting the two main functions of CoQ10 in cells: its essential role as electron transport chain member ...
This expansive and practical textbook contains organic chemistry experiments for teaching in the laboratory at the undergraduate level covering a range of functional group transformations and key organic reactions.The editorial team have collected contributions from around the world and standardized them for publication. Each experiment will explore a modern chemistry scenario, such as: sustainable chemistry; application in the pharmaceutical industry; catalysis and material sciences, to name a few. All the experiments will be complemented with a set of questions to challenge the students and a section for the instructors, concerning the results obtained and advice on getting the best outcome from the experiment. A section covering practical aspects with tips and advice for the instructors, together with the results obtained in the laboratory by students, has been compiled for each experiment. Targeted at professors and lecturers in chemistry, this useful text will provide up to date experiments putting the science into context for the students.

El presente volumen recoge diversas investigaciones recientes sobre aspectos relevantes y novedosos para la compresión y estudio del siglo XVIII en diferentes lugares del continente americano: Nueva Inglaterra, la cuenca del mar Caribe, Nueva España, el Nuevo Reino de Granada, Quito y Brasil. El grupo de historiadores que ha hecho posible este libro se ha encargado de llamar la atención sobre la significativa importancia del siglo XVIII como una época de consolidación, pero a su vez, de innumerables fracasos, que impulsaron la decadencia del dominio europeo en una vastísima porción del Nuevo Mundo y que dio paso a la cristalización de procesos revolucionarios e independentistas. Este...
