Este compilado com 14 artigos é resultado de pesquisas, estudos e reflexões elaboradas em diferentes perspectivas que informam a singularidade da materialidade das relações de trabalho observadas nesse campo de pesquisa, sobretudo em países latino americanos. Dividido em 03 partes, sendo a primeira composta por oito artigos que analisam as relações e condições de trabalho no Brasil e na Argentina, em teatros públicos e estatais, bem como no trabalho intermitente observado em casas de shows, na produção audiovisual e na representação do trabalho em filmes contemporâneos que privilegiam o jovem nesse universo. A relação entre trabalho artístico e formação profissional é an...
This book is about the more than 4,000 beach systems that form most of the 9000 km long Brazilian coast. It focuses on the beaches of each of the seventeen coastal states and three oceanic islands, their nature, morphodynamics and status. It is a must for anyone who wants to know more about this great coast and its beach systems. This is the first book ever written about the beach systems of Brazil, and actually the very first about the beaches of an entire country. The Brazilian coast extends from the mighty Amazon River and its muddy shores in the north to one of the world’s longest sandy beaches in the southern Rio Grande do Sul. It contains every beach type from wave to tide-dominated which range in size from small embayed beaches to long barrier beaches. The book is written by leading Brazilian academics and researchers and aims at the university level market, as well as coastal scientists, engineers and managers. Standard scientific terminology is used to describe the coast and its beaches. It is illustrated with more than 400 original figures and serves as a benchmark text on the Brazilian coast.

This book provides up-to-date information on experimental and computational characterization of the structural and functional properties of viral proteins, which are widely involved in regulatory and signaling processes. With chapters by leading research groups, it features current information on the structural and functional roles of intrinsic disorders in viral proteomes. It systematically addresses the measles, HIV, influenza, potato virus, forest virus, bovine virus, hepatitis, and rotavirus as well as viral genomics. After analyzing the unique features of each class of viral proteins, future directions for research and disease management are presented.
Consumer concerns play a critical role in dictating the direction of research and development in food protection. The rising demand for minimally processed foods, growing concerns about the use of synthetic preservatives, and suspected links between the overuse of antibiotics and multi-drug resistance in microbes has made food safety a global priority. Natural Food Antimicrobial Systems focuses on advances in the technology of food safety. Numerous antimicrobial agents exist in animals and plants where they evolved as defense mechanisms. For example, the antimicrobial components of milk have been unraveled in recent years. The book covers how these components - such as lactoferrin - can be u...
Depois de dedicar duas décadas de estudo à compreensão do mundo operário no Brasil e outras duas ao que ocorre com os trabalhadores nos países capitalistas do Norte, o professor de sociologia da Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Ricardo Antunes, decidiu que chegara o momento de focar sua pesquisa no continente do labor, a América Latina. "Era hora de procurar compreender o que se passa neste continente que nasceu para servir e trabalhar, mas que sabe também conjugar felicidade com rebelião, sofrimento com liberação, espoliação com revolução", afirma o professor. Em seu novo livro, O continente do labor, o sociólogo oferece um olhar latino-americano ante os dilemas do mundo do...
This book presents an authoritative review of the most significant findings about all the epigenetic targets (writers, readers, and erasers) and their implication in physiology and pathology. The book also covers the design, synthesis and biological validation of epigenetic chemical modulators, which can be useful as novel chemotherapeutic agents. Particular attention is given to the chemical mechanisms of action of these molecules and to the drug discovery prose which allows their identification. This book will appeal to students who want to know the extensive progresses made by epigenetics (targets and modulators) in the last years from the beginning, and to specialized scientists who need an instrument to quickly search and check historical and/or updated notices about epigenetics.
