CÃES-GUIA NO BRASIL: primeiros estudos
Acoletânea “Cães-guia no Brasil: primeiros estudos” reúne artigos produzidos a partir da oferta do primeiro Curso de Treinador e Instrutor de Cães-guia em nosso país. Mesmo na literatura inter-nacional são escassos os estudos sobre o assunto, e o esforço de sistematização aqui realizado visa contribuir para a busca de consolidação, no Brasil, de um campo de pesquisa em torno do tema cão-guia. Ao dar uma amostra da diversidade de abordagens, pretende-se abrir o interesse para a interface com diferentes disciplinas e, assim, vislumbrar a maturação futura de linhas de investigação. A primeira parte do livro traz a contribuição dos cinco primeiros profissionais formados no ...
De Escola Agrotécnica a Campus Muzambinho
De Escola Agrotécnica a Campus Muzambinho: 70 anos transformando vidas pela educação objetivou lembrar e contar algumas das inúmeras histórias que fizeram da Escola Agrotécnica e fazem do Campus Muzambinho uma instituição pública federal, reconhecida pela excelência do ensino originalmente agrícola, pela pesquisa aplicada, por uma extensão verdadeiramente integrada a uma realidade local e, mais recentemente, por oferecer oportunidades em inovação e soluções tecnológicas.

Dog Behaviour, Evolution, and Cognition
This is the first book to collate and synthesize the recent burgeoning primary research literature on dog behaviour, evolution, and cognition. The author presents a new ecological approach to the understanding of dog behaviour, demonstrating how dogs can be the subject of rigorous and productive scientific study without the need to confine them to a laboratory environment. This second, fully updated edition of Dog Behaviour, Evolution and Cognition starts with an overview of the conceptual and methodological issues associated with the study of the dog, followed by a brief description of their role in human society. An evolutionary perspective is then introduced with a summary of current rese...

Second Nature
Growing recognition of the complexity of animals' physical, social, and psychological lives in the wild has led both zookeepers and the zoo-going public to call for higher environmental standards for animals in captivity. Bringing together the work of animal behaviorists, zoo biologists, and psychologists, Second Nature explores a range of innovative strategies for environmental enrichment in laboratories and marine parks, as well as in zoos. From artificial fleeing-prey devices for leopards to irregular feeding schedules for whales, the practices discussed have resulted in healthier, more relaxed animals that can breed more easily and can exert some control over their environments. Moving b...
Multivariate Permutation Tests
Complex multivariate problems are frequently encountered in many scientific disciplines and it can be very difficult to obtain meaningful results. Permutation and nonparametric combination methods provide flexible solutions to complex problems by reducing the problem down to a set of simpler sub-problems. The author presents a novel but well tested approach using real examples taken from biomedical research. Statistical analyses are performed in a nonparametric setting, so that no assumptions need be made about the underlying distribution and the dependence relations between variables. * Provides a clear exposition of the use of multivariate permutation testing, with emphasis on the use of n...
