The book explores the existing biorefinery platforms that can be used to convert sugarcane to new high value added products. It also addresses one of today's most controversial issues involving energy cane, in addition to the dilemma "sugar cane vs. food vs. the environment", adding even more value in a culture that is already a symbol of case study around the world. Focusing on the chemical composition of sugarcane, and the production and process...
Translational Studies on Inflammation
Inflammation is known worldwide, from the bench to the bedside, but it is a hard theme to approach with one single point of view.In this sense, a selection of translational studies would support the medical-scientific community to better understand the complex network of the inflammatory process, its maintenance, and potential treatment targets. The eleven chapters that compose this book present interesting insights into inflammation and its mechanisms, merging classic background with innovative approaches. From the molecular basis to experimental models, the chapters selected for this book bring to readers at different academic levels updated and practical data on inflammation. Find out what drives interdisciplinary medical research on inflammation and enjoy this informative collection.

Wildlife-habitat Relationships in Oregon and Washington
This volume provides information about the terrestrial, freshwater, and marine habitats of Oregon and Washington and the wildlife that depend upon them; it also supports broader and more consistent conservation planning, management, and research. The 27 chapters identify 593 wildlife species, define some 300 wildlife terms, profile wildlife communities, review introduced and extirpated species and species at risk, and discuss management approaches. The volume includes color and bandw photographs, maps, diagrams, and illustrations; and the accompanying CD-ROM contains additional wildlife data (60,000 records), maps, and seven matrixes that link wildlife species with their respective habitat types. Johnson is a wildlife biologist, engineer, and habitat scientist; and O'Neill is director of the Northwest Habitat Institute; they worked together on this publication project as its managing directors.

Bioethanol and Beyond
Bioethanol and Beyond: Advances in Production Process and Future Directions discusses the advances in the production process of bioethanol, ranging from first to fourth generation bioethanol. Bioethanol is currently applied besides simple fuels (biofuel): it is mixed with other fuels, such as gasoline and diesel, and used for generating renewable fuels, such as hydrogen. Advances in the industrial bioethanol (first and second generation) chain point towards the co-energy generation, in situ, and the possibility of generating outside the industry via energetic densification of the residues. A biorefinery is suggested as a strategy to use the industrial residues by amplifying the products port...
Espaços e Tempos em Geografia
António Gama Mendes, geógrafo, brilhante professor e investigador, faleceu prematuramente em Dezembro de 2014. A sua competência científica, a sua aptidão pedagógica, a sua vastíssima bagagem cultural e, acima de tudo, uma estatura académica muito assente na sua qualidade intelectual e numa imensa generosidade do ponto de vista humano, fizeram com que a Universidade Portuguesa e, particularmente, a Geografia tenham sofrido um forte abalo com a sua partida. Para além de deixar uma obra significativa em diferentes domínios da Geografia Social, da Geografia Política e da Geografia Cultural, deixou muitos amigos em Portugal e no estrangeiro, em diferentes áreas disciplinares que vão da Geografia à Economia e da Sociologia à Filosofia e à Literatura. Por isso, este livro, com que alguns dos seus amigos de diferentes áreas científicas pretendem homenageá-lo, revisitando alguns dos temas de investigação que lhe eram mais queridos, de modo a perpetuar a memória de um nome, de uma obra e de uma personalidade absolutamente ímpares na Universidade e na ciência portuguesas.
