Avanços tecnológicos da linhaça
A UNIJUÍ configura um seleto grupo de pesquisadores que veem na linhaça uma planta excepcional e nortearam, com grande ensejo, a criação de um programa para o seu melhoramento. Junto aos grupos da Ecofisiologia, da Farmácia e da Biologia, buscaram maximizar, pelo mestrado em Sistemas Ambientais e Sustentabilidade, avanços em Ciência e Tecnologia. Os autores deste livro nortearam esse processo buscando mostrar ao leitor o grande entusiasmo, a ciência e a paixão com que tratam esta cultura milenar, reconhecendo, com grande humildade, sua contribuição para a humanidade e a necessidade de avanços para torná-la reconhecida junto às principais espécies cultivadas no Brasil. É difícil imaginar que, acerca de uma planta de tamanhos benefícios aos sistemas de cultivo – e de grandes interesses para a alimentação e a saúde humana –, ainda se evidenciem muitas demandas por informações técnicas essenciais ao cultivo, além de um reduzido saber, por parte da sociedade, sobre suas potencialidades e benefícios.
Plantas de lavoura
A agricultura brasileira destaca-se como um setor essencial no contexto socioeconômico do país, englobando um diversificado conjunto de culturas agrícolas. Neste livro, são exploradas 26 culturas, cujo cultivo é viabilizado pela vasta diversidade climática presente no território nacional. Essa diversidade promove a produção de alimentos para consumo humano e animal, bem como à produção de commodities industrializadas, óleos e biocombustíveis. A exigência do mercado consumidor por produtos de alta qualidade e a necessidade de cultivos de alto desempenho produtivo confirmam a importância do manejo fitossanitário adequado das lavouras. Conhecer as estruturas morfológicas e fisiológicas de cada espécie, associado à compreensão da ecofisiologia, é fundamental para a condução de lavouras de alto desempenho produtivo. Compreender os principais manejos de pragas, doenças e plantas invasoras, juntamente com o manejo assertivo, são estratégias para maximizar a produtividade e promover a sustentabilidade dos cultivos.
Statistical Inference
A Balanced Treatment of Bayesian and Frequentist Inference Statistical Inference: An Integrated Approach, Second Edition presents an account of the Bayesian and frequentist approaches to statistical inference. Now with an additional author, this second edition places a more balanced emphasis on both perspectives than the first edition. New to the Second Edition New material on empirical Bayes and penalized likelihoods and their impact on regression models Expanded material on hypothesis testing, method of moments, bias correction, and hierarchical models More examples and exercises More comparison between the approaches, including their similarities and differences Designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses, the text thoroughly covers statistical inference without delving too deep into technical details. It compares the Bayesian and frequentist schools of thought and explores procedures that lie on the border between the two. Many examples illustrate the methods and models, and exercises are included at the end of each chapter.
Major Problems in Developmental Biology
Major Problems in Developmental Biology contains the proceedings of the 25th Symposium of the Society for Developmental Biology, held in Haverford, Pennsylvania, in June 1966. The papers explore some of the major problems in developmental biology, particularly those relating to cell differentiation, movements, and death; patterning; and intercellular regulation in plants. Organized into 11 chapters, this book begins with an overview of the growth and development of developmental biology as a scientific discipline, with emphasis on the role of the Society for Developmental Biology, and in particular its symposia, in the emergence of the field. The book then discusses the intra- and extracellu...
Oats and Oat Improvement
Traces the history of South Carolina from the arrival of the white man through the colony's role in the Revolutionary War.
Advanced Nutrition
The explosion of knowledge about satiety and hunger has given new meaning to our understanding of the genetics of obesity. New interest in gene expression as related to nutrition and advances in the field of macronutrients has made the latest nutrition research intriguing. Advanced Nutrition: Macronutrients adopts an integrated approach to the understanding of macronutrient nutrition. It provides scientific foundations of the current findings on energy balance, protein need, gene expression, and carbohydrate and lipid use, and maintains emphasis on the biochemical and physiological basis for nutrient need.
Handbook of Media for Environmental Microbiology
The second edition of a bestseller, this book provides a comprehensive reference for the cultivation of bacteria, Archaea, and fungi from diverse environments, including extreme habitats. Expanded to include 2,000 media formulations, this book compiles the descriptions of media of relevance for the cultivation of microorganisms from soil, water, an
Flaxseed in Human Nutrition, Second Edition
Since 1995, when the first edition of Flaxseed in Human Nutrition was published, the consumer and food industry interest in flaxseed as a beneficial component in the human diet has continued to grow as the scientific literature on this subject has expanded over the past decade. This second edition of Flaxseed in Human Nutrition provides the current status of the knowledge about the analysis and composition of flaxseed, the metabolism and bioavailability of its major components, the effect of flaxseed on development and disease, processing of flaxseed, and availability of flaxseed products. Some of the research in these areas was just emerging in the early to mid-1990's and was incomplete or not described when the first edition was published.
Shakespeare and Elizabeth
This book explores the history of invented encounters between Shakespeare and the Queen Elizabeth I, and examines how and why the mythology of these two cultural icons has been intertwined in British and American culture. It follows the history of meetings between the poet and the queen through historical novels, plays, paintings, and films, ranging from works such as Sir Walter Scott's Kenilworth and the film Shakespeare in Love to lesser known examples. Raising questions about the boundaries separating scholarship and fiction, it looks at biographers and critics who continue to delve into links between these two. In the Shakespeare authorship controversy there have even been claims that Shakespeare was Elizabeth's secret son or lover, or that Elizabeth herself was the genius Shakespeare. The author examines the reasons behind the lasting appeal of their combined reputations, and locates this interest in their enigmatic sexual identities, as well as in the ways they represent political tensions and national aspirations.
The Ecology of the Fish Pond Ecosystem
An understanding of the ecology of a fish pond is essential for the achievement of steady and high fish production in ponds. For the ecologist, the fish pond is a small laboratory: easy to investigate and responding rapidly to manipulation. For the aquaculturist, the ecology shows the ways and means of interventions ensuring an increase of production. The book deals with the different aspects of natural production within a pond, referring it to African conditions: considering first the role of soil as source and sink of nutrients for the water, then nutrient cycling within water and the fate of fertilizers added to ponds, and finally the contribution of natural productivity to fish production. The important sum of information brought together in this volume is valuable for both aquaculturist and ecologist, who lack a handbook on the ecology of a fish pond. It will capture the interest of African aquaculturists and stimulate aquaculture research on natural production.
