Perspectives of Stem Cells
Stem cells are fascinating cell types. They can replicate themselves forever while retaining the potential to generate progeny with speci?c functions. Because of these special properties, stem cells have been subjects of intensive investigation, from understanding basic mechanisms underlying tissue generation, to modeling human diseases, to application for cell replacement therapy. Stem cells come in different forms. For example, mouse embryonic stem cells can general all cell types in a body, either in a dish or when put back into mouse embryos. On the other hand, neural stem cells in the adult brain generate neurons and glia cells that contribute to the brain’s plasticity. Rapid progress...
Immobilized Microbial Cells
Immobilized Microbial Cells, Volume 4 provides an overview of the methods of immobilization, applications, and ways of utilizing immobilized microbial cells and subcellular organelles and chloroplasts as biocatalysts. This volume is comprised of seven chapters. It begins with the historical background of immobilized cell research. Subsequent chapters focus on the methods of immobilization and applications of immobilized microbial cells, living cells, and organelles. The last two chapters discuss gas production of immobilized cells for energy generation and the chemical engineering analysis of immobilized-cell systems. The book will be of great use to chemists and chemical engineers.
Tax Residence in Brazil
Unlocking the complexities of individual tax residence is crucial for navigating both domestic and international income taxation. However, Brazil's current tax residence rules have fallen behind the pace of technological advancements and cultural shifts over the past century, leading to significant uncertainties. This analysis not only highlights these challenges but also presents a strategic proposal to modernize Brazil's tax legislation. By enhancing clarity and fairness, the updated rules will simplify compliance and reduce administrative burdens, ultimately fostering a more efficient tax system. Discover how this initiative aims to transform the landscape of individual tax residence in Brazil for a more equitable and streamlined approach.
The Paradoxes Of Gangster Love: hybristophilia from an approach to the practice of criminal law
THE PARADOXES OF GANGSTER LOVE Admiration and sexual attraction to men who commit all kinds of crimes is a behavior that leaves no one indifferent, and when some women imbued with passion decide to have a relationship with a criminal, the subject arouses even greater interest among people. These women are driven by heightened feelings, they trace obsessive trajectories, something that drives them, makes them lose their fear, leads to changes in behavior and sometimes even reverses values. Most of the time, there is no stopping these women. And who sparks this passion? About them, stories of the difficulties and differences in the lives of these people who, even deprived of freedom, influence our environment and, above all, arouse great devotions. Hybristophilia – A behavioral issue with paradoxes between ethical and moral boundaries.
Pedagogical Resilience, from Class to Digital Room
With the rise of digital technology, educators must adapt quickly, especially in higher education. "Pedagogical Resilience, from Class to Digital Room" examines how Brazilian educators addressed technology adoption during the pandemic. It sheds light on their experiences, challenges, and innovative strategies for integrating technology into higher education during COVID-19. The book provides insights into local and international educational landscapes by placing Brazil in the global discussion. The research reveals how educators' preferences, subject matter, and institutional policies influence technology adoption. These aspects help us understand how pedagogy and technology intersect in dif...
The End of Democracy
Gilberto Lopes, with this profound and provocative study based on an ingenious imaginary dialogue between Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-1859) and Karl Marx (1818-1883) on democracy, presents us with a disturbing work on one of the most important debates in today's political world. This work arises from a practical concern, from a life experience and a political restlessness, but also from a theoretical curiosity to make a journey inspired by the work of these two great thinkers who approached the history of their time with particular acuity and erudition. The relevance of the approaches presented here is evident as we face, day by day, the challenges that the "democracy" of today's world must confront: growing inequality, greater concentration of wealth, absurd wars and ever deeper and more widespread environmental deterioration. Faced with the state of political and economic confusion that reigns everywhere, Gilberto Lopes proposes, in a renewed and necessary debate on democracy and socialism, to glimpse the signs of progress on the road to equality suggested by Tocqueville as the great engine of history. This book aims to help us successfully reach the end of that road.
Technopolitcs
Technopolitics is a follow-up book that intends to depart and expand the concept of Cyberpolitics to all the dimensions and effects of technology in our lives but placing politics at the center of debate and thought. Most investigations in the fields of Humanities have highlighted the impact of digitization and social virtualization and mapped the transition from the Industrial Revolution, and mass disciplinary society, to the digital revolution, telework and social atomism. The fusion of disruptive technologies is changing the fundamentals of our world almost roaming on its own towards a near future with unprecedented and unpredictable outcomes. This new technological reason implies a ruptu...
Rethinking the Right to Data Portability in the Transition from Open Banking to Open Finance in the EU
Amidst the transition from Open Banking to Open Finance across the European Union (EU), this insightful book delves into how individuals' control over their data is impacted. With Open Banking reshaping data sharing, the EU seeks to extend this model to sectors like insurance through Open Finance. The research examines how this shift affects the Right to Data Portability (RDP), giving users the ability to manage and transfer their data among financial service providers. Through qualitative analysis, it clarifies the dynamics between RDP, Open Banking, and Open Finance. Chapters trace the regulatory evolution, explore standardization efforts like the 'SEPA API Access Scheme', and address chal...
A plasma chemistry study on global model for argon gas as a propellant to electrostatic gridded ion thruster
Electric propulsion optimizes propellant mass and meets new propulsion device demands. These devices adjust satellite orbits and enable long missions. Among various thrusters, electrostatic ones have well-defined physics, simplifying operational parameter optimization. This study developed a global model for an Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) cylindrical ion thruster with an output polarized grid system. Argon propellant is injected into the chamber, and ICP plasma is generated by a radiofrequency current. Neutral and excited species are accelerated out by diffusion, while ionized species are accelerated via the polarized grids' electric field. The polarized grid system was optimized for better plasma sheath use. The model considers single and multi-step ionization, the Electron Energy Distribution Function (EEDF), neutral gas, and electron power balance equations. Excited species influence ionization energy, but not ionic density. However, the ion substitution rate increases, essential for thrust and specific impulse. The model determines the neutral gas temperature by considering the power balance and interactions with other species.
Unconventional Resources in the Oil and Gas Industry
The emergence of unconventional oil and gas extraction, known as the "shale revolution", since 2008 has fundamentally reshaped the global energy sector. This revolution, driven by technological advancements in hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, has unlocked vast reserves of oil and gas previously deemed inaccessible. Despite challenges like the COVID-19 pandemic, fluctuating oil prices, and growing environmental concerns, unconventional resources continue to play a pivotal role in shaping energy policies worldwide. This book delves deeply into the transformative impact of unconventional resources on international energy markets and policies, providing a comprehensive analysis of t...
