Biomedical Engineering Systems and Technologies
This book contains the best papers of the First International Joint Conference on B- medical Engineering Systems and Technologies (BIOSTEC 2008), organized by the Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information Control and Communication (INSTICC), technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Bi- ogy Society (EMB), ACM SIGART and the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC), in cooperation with AAAI. The purpose of the International Joint Conference on Biomedical Engineering S- tems and Technologies is to bring together researchers and practitioners, including engineers, biologists, health professionals and informatics/computer scientists, int- ested in both theoretical ...
A Casa de Poeira
Imagine que você está isolado no deserto, no lugar menos habitado do planeta Terra, correndo contra a sombra do seu passado, a culpa. Agora, imagine acordar desse pesadelo sem fim, sentindo-se seguro por um instante, dizendo para si mesmo que foi apenas um sonho... não foi sonho algum – Você ainda está preso no pesadelo! Aquele deserto vazio está vivo, pronto para te engolir. Bom, quase vivo… O último desejo de sua mãe força Marcos Rodrigues, um homem que luta contra seus vícios e culpa, a se reunir com seu irmão egocêntrico, João, em uma longa viagem pelo deserto. Quando presos na cidade fantasma de Esperança, os irmãos Rodrigues reviverão seus piores traumas, sempre questionando o quanto suas memórias influenciam a realidade. A Casa de Poeira é um suspense sobrenatural que desafia a realidade com ecos do passado, confinando o leitor numa eterna prisão de luto.
Macao's Church of Saint Paul
"Macao's Ruins of St. Paul (correct name Church of Madre de Deus) is the only example of Baroque art and architecture in China. This beautifully illustrated book explores anew the now vanished but once renowned Church, as well as the Jesuit university college of which it was part. Both Church and College were destroyed by fire in 1835. From the perspective of the history of art they have remained poorly explored. The author remedies this by imaginatively reconstructing their ground plans, architecture and decoration in the light of new information in original documents that he has found in archives and libraries in Europe and Macao. In his re-creation of the buildings, he illustrates and dra...
Freedoms Given, Freedoms Won
Freedoms Given, Freedoms Won explores the ways Afro-Brazilians in two major cities adapted to the new conditions of life after the abolition of slavery and how they confronted limitations placed on their new freedom. The book sets forth new ways of understanding why the abolition of slavery did not yield equitable fruits of citizenship, not only in Brazil, but throughout the Americas and the Caribbean. Afro-Brazilians in Sao Paulo and Salvador lived out their new freedom in ways that raise issues common to the entire Afro-Atlantic diaspora. In Sao Paulo, they initiated a vocal struggle for inclusion in the creation of the nation's first black civil rights organization and political party, an...
Feeding the World
Feeding the World documents the emergence of Brazil as an agricultural powerhouse during the second half of the twentieth century.
Terms of Inclusion
In this history of black thought and racial activism in twentieth-century Brazil, Paulina Alberto demonstrates that black intellectuals, and not just elite white Brazilians, shaped discourses about race relations and the cultural and political terms of in

Biomedical Engineering Systems and Technologies
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 6th International Joint Conference on Biomedical Engineering Systems and Technologies, BIOSTEC 2013, held in Barcelona, Spain, in February 2013. The 28 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 392 submissions. The papers cover a wide range of topics and are organized in four general topical sections on biomedical electronics and devices; bioinformatics models, methods and algorithms; bio-inspired systems and signal processing; health informatics.
Research on Soil Erosion
Soil loss for erosion is a natural phenomenon in soil dynamics, influenced by climate, soil intrinsic properties, and morphology, that can both trigger and enhance the process. Anthropic activities, like inappropriate agricultural practices, deforestation, overgrazing, forest fires and construction activities, may exert a remarkable impact on erosion processes or, on the other hand, contribute to soil erosion mitigation through a sustainable management of natural resources. The book is the continuation of previously published "Soil Erosion Studies"; it is organized in a unique section collecting nine chapters focusing on a variety of aspects of the erosion phenomena.
