Sinopse Em 1989, o historiador estadunidense Stephen Richards Graubard (1924-2021) escreveu um prefácio inquietante para introduzir os dois números temáticos da revista Daedalus, da qual ele foi editor por anos. Graubard (1989) inicia destacando que, passado quase uma década da emergência da AIDS, ainda era preciso se ter acesso à uma literatura que promovesse um debate mais qualificado. Tratava-se de uma crítica evidente às especulações estigmatizantes que deram a tônica das conversações sobre a doença naquela década. O texto é composto por inúmeras e relevantes questões, cujo escopo abrange um largo escopo disciplinar e institucional. Ele traça um panorama extensivo que ...
É com grande entusiasmo que apresentamos o quarto volume desta bem-sucedida coletânea de estudos intitulada “Tópicos em ciências da saúde: contribuições, desafios e possibilidades”. Nesta edição, selecionamos artigos, revisões, relatos de caso ou experiência de relevância científica no amplo panorama das Ciências da Saúde. Seguindo o alto padrão dos volumes anteriores, os capítulos foram rigorosamente selecionados e avaliados quanto à robustez teórica, metodologias empregadas e resultados apresentados. Desse modo, oferecemos aos leitores uma visão abrangente e atualizada das contribuições científicas, dos desafios e das promissoras perspectivas que permeiam este campo crucial para o bem-estar humano. Esta obra destina-se a estudantes, profissionais e pesquisadores das áreas da saúde e afins que buscam se aprofundar nas contribuições, desafios e possibilidades das Ciências da Saúde. Reúne capítulos escritos por especialistas, pesquisadores e profissionais da saúde de diversas áreas, proporcionando uma visão multidisciplinar que converge para uma compreensão ampliada e crítica das complexas nuances deste campo dinâmico que é a saúde.
The relatively new technique of solid phase microextraction (SPME) is an important tool to prepare samples both in the lab and on-site. SPME is a "green" technology because it eliminates organic solvents from analytical laboratory and can be used in environmental, food and fragrance, and forensic and drug analysis. This handbook offers a thorough background of the theory and practical implementation of SPME. SPME protocols are presented outlining each stage of the method and providing useful tips and potential pitfalls. In addition, devices and fiber coatings, automated SPME systems, SPME method development, and In Vivo applications are discussed. This handbook is essential for its discussion of the latest SPME developments as well as its in depth information on the history, theory, and practical application of the method. - Practical application of Solid Phase Microextraction methods including detailed steps - Provides history of extraction methods to better understand the process - Suitable for all levels, from beginning student to experienced practitioner

This engaging and clearly written textbook/reference provides a must-have introduction to the rapidly emerging interdisciplinary field of data science. It focuses on the principles fundamental to becoming a good data scientist and the key skills needed to build systems for collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data. The Data Science Design Manual is a source of practical insights that highlights what really matters in analyzing data, and provides an intuitive understanding of how these core concepts can be used. The book does not emphasize any particular programming language or suite of data-analysis tools, focusing instead on high-level discussion of important design principles. This easy...
This comprehensive handbook provides a unique resource covering all aspects of forest ecology from a global perspective. It covers both natural and managed forests, from boreal, temperate, sub-tropical and tropical regions of the world. The book is divided into seven parts, addressing the following themes: forest types forest dynamics forest flora and fauna energy and nutrients forest conservation and management forests and climate change human impacts on forest ecology. While each chapter can stand alone as a suitable resource for a lecture or seminar, the complete book provides an essential reference text for a wide range of students of ecology, environmental science, forestry, geography and natural resource management. Contributors include leading authorities from all parts of the world.
Algae have been used since ancient times as food, fodder, fertilizer and as source of medicine. Nowadays seaweeds represent an unlimited source of the raw materials used in pharmaceutical, food industries, medicine and cosmetics. They are nutritionally valuable as fresh or dried vegetables, or as ingredients in a wide variety of prepared foods. In particular, seaweeds contain significant quantities of protein, lipids, minerals and vitamins. There is limited information about the role of algae and algal metabolites in medicine. Only a few taxa have been studied for their use in medicine. Many traditional cultures report curative powers from selected alga, in particular tropical and subtropica...
The integration of enzymes in food processing is well known, and dedicated research is continually being pursued to address the global food crisis. This book provides a broad, up-to-date overview of the enzymes used in food technology. It discusses microbial, plant and animal enzymes in the context of their applications in the food sector; process of immobilization; thermal and operational stability; increased product specificity and specific activity; enzyme engineering; implementation of high-throughput techniques; screening of relatively unexplored environments; and development of more efficient enzymes. Offering a comprehensive reference resource on the most progressive field of food technology, this book is of interest to professionals, scientists and academics in the food and biotech industries.
