Dicionário de Verbetes Analíticos
O Daime e a Santa Maria
O leitor e a leitora têm em mãos um belíssimo e essencial livro, em que o autor, além de realizar uma importante pesquisa, traduz e informa ao público leigo e também aos/às iniciados/as da doutrina daimista importantes aspectos sobre a trajetória formativa das religiões de matriz daimistas/ayahuasqueiras presentes no Acre e que, aos poucos, foram se espalhando por outros estados e países. Seu foco mais geral é nas trajetórias dos Mestres fundadores Irineu Serra e padrinho Sebastião Mota e, em paralelo ao do Alto Santo e da Colônia Cinco Mil, em que o autor, nesta última, se demora com mais fôlego, pois é onde se desenrola seu foco de estudo mais apurado. É nessa localidade que o autor vai buscar e detalhar como outra planta sagrada chegou e foi sendo agregada às outras duas que são a essência da bebida: a Cannabis, ou Santa Maria, que se junta às folhas da Rainha e do cipó Jagube como plantas ensinadoras e reveladoras à comunidade. Este é um livro necessário e ousado, por tratar de uma temática sensível e ainda carregada de preconceitos e silenciamentos. Francisco Bento da Silva (Universidade Federal do Acre)

Computers and the Environment: Understanding and Managing their Impacts
Personal computers have made life convenient in many ways, but what about their impacts on the environment due to production, use and disposal? Manufacturing computers requires prodigious quantities of fossil fuels, toxic chemicals and water. Rapid improvements in performance mean we often buy a new machine every 1-3 years, which adds up to mountains of waste computers. How should societies respond to manage these environmental impacts? This volume addresses the environmental impacts and management of computers through a set of analyses on issues ranging from environmental assessment, technologies for recycling, consumer behaviour, strategies of computer manufacturing firms, and government policies. One conclusion is that extending the lifespan of computers (e.g. through reselling) is an environmentally and economically effective strategy that deserves more attention from governments, firms and the general public.
Nitrous Oxide and Climate Change
Nitrous oxide, N2O, is the third most important (in global warming terms) of the greenhouse gases, after carbon dioxide and methane. As this book describes, although it only comprises 320 parts per billion of the earth's atmosphere, it has a so-called Global Warming Potential nearly 300 times greater than that of carbon dioxide. N2O emissions are difficult to estimate, because they are predominantly biogenic in origin. The N2O is formed in soils and oceans throughout the world, by the microbial processes of nitrification and denitrification, that utilise the reactive N compounds ammonium and nitrate, respectively. These forms of nitrogen are released during the natural biogeochemical nitroge...
Oxidative Stress in Aquatic Ecosystems
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are increasingly appreciated as down-stream effectors of cellular damage and dysfunction under natural and anthropogenic stress scenarios in aquatic systems. This comprehensive volume describes oxidative stress phenomena in different climatic zones and groups of organisms, taking into account specific habitat conditions and how they affect susceptibility to ROS damage. A comprehensive and detailed methods section is included which supplies complete protocols for analyzing ROS production, oxidative damage, and antioxidant systems. Methods are also evaluated with respect to applicability and constraints for different types of research. The authors are all internationally recognized experts in particular fields of oxidative stress research. This comprehensive reference volume is essential for students, researchers, and technicians in the field of ROS research, and also contains information useful for veterinarians, environmental health professionals, and decision makers.
Managing Collaborative R&D Projects
Collaboration among industry, universities and research institutes plays a vital role in stimulating open innovation, which in turn leads to new products, processes, services and business models. This book brings together a number of real-life examples of how to govern and manage open innovation collaboration projects more effectively, and provides timely insights that project consortia, governance boards and funding agencies can directly apply to implement and monitor projects and achieve greater impacts. All papers were written by recognized leading authorities with extensive experience in governance and management, and reveal how to capitalize on the potential of open innovation. This book shares multidisciplinary research perspectives on the potential benefits and challenges of collaboration, project management, and open innovation, as well as the management of complex organizational cultures and governance models.

Core Java for the Impatient
The release of Java SE 8 introduced significant enhancements that impact the Core Java technologies and APIs at the heart of the Java platform. Many old Java idioms are no longer required and new features like lambda expressions will increase programmer productivity, but navigating these changes can be challenging. Core Java® for the Impatient is a complete but concise guide to Java SE 8. Written by Cay Horstmann—the author of Java SE 8 for the Really Impatient and Core Java™, the classic, two-volume introduction to the Java language—this indispensable new tutorial offers a faster, easier pathway for learning the language and libraries. Given the size of the language and the scope of ...
