Urban Transformations in the Late Antique West: Materials, Agents, and Models

This volume is the fruit of a highly productive international research gathering academic and professional (field- and museum) colleagues to discuss new results and approaches, recent finds and alternative theoretical assessments of the period of transition and transformation of classical towns in Late Antiquity. Experts from an array of modern countries attended and presented to help compare and contrast critically archaeologies of diverse regions and to debate the qualities of the archaeology and the current modes of study. While a number of papers inevitably focused on evidence available for both Spain and Portugal, we were delighted to have a spread of contributions that extended the picture to other territories in the Late Roman West and Mediterranean. The emphasis was very much on the images presented by archaeology (rescue and research works, recent and past), but textual data were also brought into play by various contributors.

A Poética Calimaquiana e sua Influência na Poesia Epigramática

Este livro reúne textos apresentados no evento internacional Quinta Semana de Estudos sobre o Período Helenístico: a Poética Calimaquiana e sua Influência na Poesia Epigramática, realizado na Faculdade de Filosofia Letras e Ciências Humanas e no Museu de Arqueologia e Etnologia da Universidade de São Paulo, entre os dias 20 e 23 de setembro de 2017. Trata-se de uma coleção de artigos que discutem aspectos do programa poético defendido na obra supérstite de Calímaco e a influência que exerceram na criação dos epigramas literários a partir do século III a.C. O livro, portanto, apresenta não somente reflexões voltadas à exposição da discussão metapoética empreendida por Calímaco em seus poemas, de modo a defender um estilo de composição, mas também aborda a recepção desse debate nas gerações de poetas subsequentes, incluindo, entre outros, Mnasalcas, Antípatro de Sídon, Meleagro, Marcial, Horácio e Gregório de Nazianzo.

Advances in Aspergillus fumigatus pathobiology

Aspergillus fumigatus is a human fungal pathogen that causes invasive aspergillosis (IA), a major infectious cause of death in the expanding population of immunocompromised individuals such as cancer patients and transplant recipients. The mortality of IA remains high (30-70%) and emerging resistance to triazoles, the first-line antifungal drug class, is of particular concern. Second-line therapies for IA are limited by their toxicity (polyenes) or their lack of fungicidal activity (echinocandins). Identification of novel antifungal targets is an urgent need for improving the outcome of IA. A. fumigatus is a filamentous fungus exhibiting a complex developmental cycle and elaborate mechanisms...
