A verde pel de Gaia
Imaxinade un encontro sorprendente entre dous estudosos da natureza, separados por dous mil anos de progreso científico. Unha xuntanza máxica onde un antigo druída e un biólogo moderno conversan, mentres que o lector descobre como a ciencia contemporánea está recuperando coñecementos perdidos e a bioloxía se focaliza cada vez máis na necesidade de achegarse a un estilo de vida natural. Os protagonistas deste libro acompañaranvos nun paseo estimulante a través do bosque, entre árbores, cores, olores, razoando sobre a relación entre os elementos e dialogando sobre a sacralidade da vida en Gaia, o noso planeta, que chegaredes a comprender na súa esencia de organismo vivente. A conversa entre os dous sabios flúe espontaneamente, nun ir e vir de ideas para a reflexión en equilibrio constante entre ciencia e filosofía, bioloxía e espiritualidade, contemporaneidade e antigüidade.
Clorofillati
Stare all’aperto ci fa bene perché il nostro corpo, muovendosi nell’ambiente naturale, scarica elettricità statica, neutralizza tossine, dissolve ormoni dello stress, regolarizza le funzioni cardiocircolatorie. Vi sono innumerevoli benefici anche sul piano psicologico: alleggeriamo le emozioni, chiariamo la mente, rigeneriamo l’attenzione, prendiamo più efficacemente decisioni, elaboriamo soluzioni e idee. Scritto da una dei primi e più apprezzati ecopsicologi italiani, Clorofillati è un richiamo allo star bene e alla ricerca di una via verso l’energia e la vitalità che ci spettano. Con le sue numerose proposte di tecniche, esercizi e attività che ci immergono nella natura, è un invito a ricordarci che possiamo vivere meglio quando stiamo solidamente ancorati alle nostre radici legate alla terra.
Sourdough Innovations
Sourdough fermentation was probably one of the first microbial processes employed by mankind for the production and preservation of food. This practice is still widely used worldwide due to the distinct sensorial and health properties attributed to these products. Traditional sourdough bread is achieved by spontaneous fermentations, leading to natural selections of microorganisms (mainly yeast and lactic acid bacteria) with health benefits for the consumers’ microbiota. However, multiple opportunities are currently underexploited through the entire sourdough value chain. Sourdough Innovations: Novel Uses of Metabolites, Enzymes, and Microbiota from Sourdough Processing summarizes the lates...
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Action
All too often, in a hurried attempt to “catch up,” diversity training can create division among staff or place undue burdens on a handful of employees. Instead, academic libraries need approaches to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) that position these priorities as ongoing institutional and professional goals. This book’s model programs will help academic libraries do exactly that, sharing a variety of initiatives that possess clear goals, demonstrable outcomes, and reproducible strategies. Librarians, administrators, and directors will all benefit from the programs detailed inside, which include such topics as a university library’s community of practice for interactions and l...
Routledge Library Editions: Environmental Policy
The 11 volumes in this set, originally published between 1982 and 1995, draw together research by leading academics in the area of environmental policy and provides a rigorous examination of related key issues. The volumes examine international policy, impact assessment, and future environmental planning. This set will be of particular interest to students of Environmental Studies.
Modelling Proteasome Dynamics in a Bayesian Framework
Sabine Stübler compares different proteasome isoforms and subtypes in terms of their transport and active site-related parameters applying an existing computational model. In a second step, the author extends this model to be able to describe the influence of proteasome inhibitors in in vitro experiments. The computational model, which describes the hydrolysis of short fluorogenic peptides by the 20S proteasome, is calibrated to experimental data from different proteasome isoforms using an approximate Bayesian computation approach. The dynamics of proteasome inhibitors are included into the model in order to demonstrate how to modulate the inhibitor’s transport parameters for strong or isoform-specific inhibition.
Computational Science and Its Applications - ICCSA 2016
The five-volume set LNCS 9786-9790 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications, ICCSA 2016, held in Beijing, China, in July 2016. The 239 revised full papers and 14 short papers presented at 33 workshops were carefully reviewed and selected from 849 submissions. They are organized in five thematical tracks: computational methods, algorithms and scientific applications; high performance computing and networks; geometric modeling, graphics and visualization; advanced and emerging applications; and information systems and technologies.
A Female Activist Elite in Italy (1890–1920)
This book explores and traces the progressive activism and radical ideas of several elite women in Italy beginning in the early 20th century. It discusses the shared political culture that shaped the thinking and the activity of these women, mainly oriented towards political philanthropy and work, seen as the cornerstone of a comprehensive redefinition of gender relations. It also discusses the connections linking them to an international network of women involved in similar political actions and economic initiatives addressing women’s' interests, as well as their legacy for the next generations. With essays from a range of scholars, this book provides an interdisciplinary framework for understanding these activists and deals with methodological and historiographical issues in reconstructing women’s contribution to history.
Medicinal Plants of the Asteraceae Family
This book highlights 12 major plants in the Asteraceae family from the aspects of traditional uses as food and medicine, phytochemistry, and pharmacological activities. Asteraceae is one of the largest family of flowering plants comprising over 1,600 plant genera and 32,000 plant species. Plants belonging to this family have a long history of being used as medicinal plants for the treatment of various diseases. Many of them are also used in the preparation of foods, beverages, and also used in pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. In addition, plants such as Artemisia annua have played an important role in the discovery of novel drugs. The book summarizes the traditional uses of the plants...
