O presente guia tem por objetivo dar a conhecer as Plantas Invasoras de Portugal Continental, tendo-se incluído outras plantas exóticas que podem vir a revelar comportamento invasor. Com esta publicação pretende-se também divulgar a problemática das invasões biológicas e alertar para a importância do controlo da expansão das espécies invasoras. O guia destina-se ao público em geral, em especial a todos os interessados na conservação da natureza. Todos podemos ser a causa e solução deste problema ecológico, pelo que é importante que a sensibilização para o tema alcance públicos diversos.

This expansive and practical textbook contains organic chemistry experiments for teaching in the laboratory at the undergraduate level covering a range of functional group transformations and key organic reactions.The editorial team have collected contributions from around the world and standardized them for publication. Each experiment will explore a modern chemistry scenario, such as: sustainable chemistry; application in the pharmaceutical industry; catalysis and material sciences, to name a few. All the experiments will be complemented with a set of questions to challenge the students and a section for the instructors, concerning the results obtained and advice on getting the best outcome from the experiment. A section covering practical aspects with tips and advice for the instructors, together with the results obtained in the laboratory by students, has been compiled for each experiment. Targeted at professors and lecturers in chemistry, this useful text will provide up to date experiments putting the science into context for the students.
Iberian and Translation Studies: Literary Contact Zones brings together a variety of essays by multilingual scholars whose conceptual and empirical research places itself at the intersection of translation and literary Iberian studies, thus opening up a new interdisciplinary field of enquiry: Iberian translation studies.
It is reported Functional foods are highly nutritious and associated with a number of powerful health benefits. They may protect against disease, prevent nutrient deficiencies, and promote proper growth and development. Functional Foods: Technological Challenges and Advancement in Health Promotion presents information related to bioactive compounds present in the functional foods, derived from fruits and vegetables, cereals and pulses, dairy and meat, herbs and spices and other foods. It describes novel techniques and methodologies used in the extraction, isolation, encapsulation, identification and characterization of bioactive compounds. Key Features: Covers the most recent research relate...
This issue of Clinics in Laboratory Medicine entitled “Risk, Error and Uncertainty: Laboratory Quality Management in the Age of Metrology will be guest edited by Sten Westgard, James Westgard, and David Armbruster. The issue will cover a broad range of topics related to management in the laboratory including but not limited to: Metrology Perspectives; Biologic Variation Approach to Daily Laboratory; Clinical Outcome Approach to Goal Setting; Six Sigma Quality Management System; Traceability and Comparability; MU, Risk, and Sigma-metrics at Sunway; and Quality Indicators for the Total Testing Process, among others.
Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disorder caused by autoantibodies against post-synaptic proteins at the neuromuscular junction. These antibodies mostly attack the acetylcholine receptor (AChR), the muscle-specific kinase (MuSK), and the low-density lipoprotein-related protein 4 (LRP4). The main clinical characteristic of the disease is the presence of fluctuating fatigable muscle weakness involving the extraocular, facial, bulbar, respiratory, cervical, and proximal limb muscles. It is known that the thymus has an important role in the pathophysiology of the disease, and some patients associate a thymoma.
Focusing on the period between the beginning of the eighteenth century and the late twentieth century, this edited volume examines the histories of objects, museums, exhibitions, and collections in Portugal or outside Portugal but representing Portugal, or related to it through colonial relationships. The book highlights the specificities of the Portuguese case, set against a globalised, transnational, and transcolonial context, and provides a precedent for future studies and a dialogue with equivalent studies related to other geographies. The diversity of the cultural, intellectual, and political contexts (imperial, colonial, monarchical, republican, authoritarian) offered by the Portuguese example allows for the exploration of a number of complex case-studies. Chapters study the artistic, collecting, and museological practices in Portugal and in the various geographical contexts of its colonial empire, with particular emphasis on the circulation and connectedness of objects, products, people, and ideas. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, museum studies, intellectual and cultural history, and imperial and colonial history.
