The school held at Villa Marigola, Lerici, Italy, in July 1997 was very much an educational experiment aimed not just at teaching a new generation of students the latest developments in computer simulation methods and theory, but also at bringing together researchers from the condensed matter computer simulation community, the biophysical chemistry community and the quantum dynamics community to confront the shared problem: the development of methods to treat the dynamics of quantum condensed phase systems.This volume collects the lectures delivered there. Due to the focus of the school, the contributions divide along natural lines into two broad groups: (1) the most sophisticated forms of the art of computer simulation, including biased phase space sampling schemes, methods which address the multiplicity of time scales in condensed phase problems, and static equilibrium methods for treating quantum systems; (2) the contributions on quantum dynamics, including methods for mixing quantum and classical dynamics in condensed phase simulations and methods capable of treating all degrees of freedom quantum-mechanically.
Studying language variation requires comprehensive interdisciplinary knowledge and new computational tools. This essential reference introduces researchers and graduate students in computer science, linguistics, and NLP to the core topics in language variation and the computational methods applied to similar languages, varieties, and dialects.
Central nervous system (CNS) tumors represent about 20% of pediatric cancer cases worldwide and are the leading cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality. In low- and middle-income countries, limited data suggests significant disparities in outcomes when compared to high-income countries. Nonetheless, this field is understudied and significant work needs to be done to further elucidate the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, and outcomes of this vulnerable population. In this Research Topic, we aim to describe recent advances in the biology, clinical, molecular, and health system characteristics of children and adolescents with CNS tumors. We welcome submissions of Original Researc...
The book on Trends in Quorum Sensing and Quorum Quenching: New Perspectives and Applications focuses on the recent advances in the field of quorum sensing in bacteria and the novel strategies developed for quorum sensing inhibition. The topics covered are multidisciplinary and wide-ranging,and includes quorum sensing phenomenon in pathogenic bacteria, food spoilers, and agriculturally relevant bacteria. The applications of quorum sensing inhibitors such as small molecules, bioactives, natural compounds, and quorum quenching enzymes in controlling bacterial infections in clinical settings, agriculture and aquaculture are discussed. The potential use of quorum quenching enzymes for mitigating ...
"A obra que tenho a alegria de apresentar ao público traz o que há de mais atual e palpitante no campo do Controle de Legalidade da Administração Pública. Fruto de iniciativa capitaneada por Anderson Schreiber e Paulo Enrique Mainier, o livro é produto de sete encontros em que membros de diferentes entidades encarregadas do controle de legalidade (interno e externo) da Administração Pública debateram com profundidade e franqueza os desafios que precisam ser vencidos para oferecer correção, transparência e previsibilidade na gestão pública. Os referidos encontros foram organizados com auxílio do Centro de Estudos da Procuradoria Geral do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, mas contaram c...
En esta obra colectiva, varios historiadores del derecho y de las instituciones estudian la evolución de las estructuras municipales desde la época tardo-romana hasta la Edad Media y las formas de prefeudalismo y feudalismo hispánico. También se analiza la pervivencia de la tradición islámica en las instituciones concejiles, la contribución franca a la formación urbana de los reinos peninsulares y la autonomía concejil frente a las encomiendas monásticas. En varios capítulos se estudia la administración territorial y local, la potestad normativa y sancionadora municipal así como diversas instituciones singulares como las merindades, la caballería de sierra, etc. In this collect...

This book is a sequel to Rural development : putting the last first (AL. 1719, BRN 32006). It explores methods and approaches of participatory rural appraisal (PRA), which, because of its wide application, should, according to the author, be changed to participatory learning and action (PLA).
O livro é um permanente diálogo com a obra de Pierre Bourdieu. Maria Andréa Loyola realizou interessante entrevista com o sociólogo, questionando sobre sua passagem da filosofia para a sociologia, cuja resposta de Bourdieu foi de que tal não ocorreu de forma abrupta, mas pouco a pouco, e que a fala da sociologia tem a capacidade de "quebrar a censura do que é oficial, ou melhor, a aparência de unanimidade que favorece os discursos oficiais em situações oficiais". Esse é um pouco o tom da presente obra. A primeira parte do estudo direcionou-se para mergulhar na relação entre Direito Administrativo e o tempo. No intuito de desenvolver tal perspectiva, nada melhor do que debater sob...
Advanced Techniques of Honey Analysis: Characterization, Authentication, and Adulteration presents an overview of honey - its classification, composition, safety, present status, quality issues and prospects - before delving into honey adulteration and presenting various methodologies for honey analysis. Broken into fourteen chapters, this book explores physiochemical, bioactive compound, aroma, microbial, thermal, and rheological analysis of honey. It also considers infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, and Raman spectroscopy methods. High-performance liquid chromatography, gas chromatography and GC-MS methods are also highlighted. Written for food scientists and those working in honey industries and related fields, this book will be a welcomed resource for all who wish to play a role in mitigating honey fraud. - Contains comprehensive information on novel honey analytical techniques - Discusses the characterization of determination of honey adulteration by various novel methods - Sheds light on Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in honey analysis - Includes applications, literature reviews, recent developments, and methods
