O ano de 2022 nos permitiu um reencontro presencial, inicialmente tímido, mas que foi ganhando corpo à medida que diversas iniciativas promoveram a aproximação gradual e segura do Corpo Social do Programa de Engenharia de Nanotecnologia da COPPE. Uma dessas iniciativas partiu da sugestão de um evento presencial, feita pelos Professores Tiago Balbino e Luciana Spinelli, atuais coordenadores do PPG do PENt. Assim nasceu a ideia do 1º Encontro de Integração do Programa de Engenharia de Nanotecnologia (eiPENt), do qual tive o prazer e a honra de atuar como o primeiro organizador. Com toda certeza, esse trabalho incluiu vários desafios. Felizmente, pudemos contar com a atuação direta d...
Egyptian hieroglyphs, Chinese scrolls, and Ayurvedic literature record physicians administering aromatic oils to their patients. Today society looks to science to document health choices and the oils do not disappoint. The growing body of evidence of their efficacy for more than just scenting a room underscores the need for production standards, quality control parameters for raw materials and finished products, and well-defined Good Manufacturing Practices. Edited by two renowned experts, the Handbook of Essential Oils covers all aspects of essential oils from chemistry, pharmacology, and biological activity, to production and trade, to uses and regulation. Bringing together significant res...
This book introduces recent progress in preparation and application of core-shell and yolk-shell structures for attractive design of catalyst materials. Core-shell nanostructures with active core particles covered directly with an inert shell can perform as highly active and selective catalysts with long lifetimes. Yolk-shell nanostructures consisting of catalytically active core particles encapsulated by hollow materials are an emerging class of nanomaterials. The enclosed void space is expected to be useful for encapsulation and compartmentation of guest molecules, and the outer shell acts as a physical barrier to protect the guest molecules from the surrounding environment. Furthermore, t...
Many evolution processes are characterized by the fact that at certain moments of time they experience a change of state abruptly. These processes are subject to short-term perturbations whose duration is negligible in comparison with the duration of the process. Consequently, it is natural to assume that these perturbations act instantaneously, that is, in the form of impulses. It is known, for example, that many biological phenomena involving thresholds, bursting rhythm models in medicine and biology, optimal control models in economics, pharmacokinetics and frequency modulated systems, do exhibit impulsive effects. Thus impulsive differential equations, that is, differential equations involving impulse effects, appear as a natural description of observed evolution phenomena of several real world problems.

This volume, containing 24 papers and 19 poster papers, reviews the etiology and epidemiology of childhood obesity. It explores genetic and contributory environmental factors. It also describes recent research and educational efforts in prevention of the condition, including programmes aimed at high-risk minority populations.
This book covers all essential evidence on perioperative care and anesthetic concerns for cancer surgeries, including the evaluation and assessment of patients’ schedule for cancer surgeries, perioperative anesthetic management of various cancers, perioperative analgesia for cancer surgeries, and issues related to inoperable cancers. It reviews anesthetic considerations of all cancer types as there is a wide variation in anesthetic requirements in this subset of patients. Cancer surgeries are on the rise worldwide and healthcare facilities with cancer as a core specialty are emerging quickly around the globe. As cancer is on rise and efficient surgical management is available, more and mor...
Drawing from cultural developments as diverse as modernist art and Asian philosophy, minimalism in interior design is nothing less than a celebration of the perfect expression of space. Minimalist Interiors presents 26 examples of residences from around the world that perfectly balance essential elements of shape, light, and form to create truly unique living spaces. From a glass house to a house without walls, from an extention of a single-family home to apartment renovations, this book presents solutions and ideas for all types of residences. Interiors for every room in the house are included, in varying sizes, all from well-known architects and designers who specialize in minimalist treatment Through exquisite photography, technical plans, and innovative design, Minimalist Interiors will inspire home design enthusiasts to achieve the same effects -- creating an intensely personal oasis of tranquility in their own home.
This eBook is a collection of articles from a Frontiers Research Topic. Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers Journals Series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researchers, the latest key findings and historical advances in a hot research area!
