O oitavo volume de Histórias de Sucesso, série da coletânea Histórias Extraordinárias do Mundo Corporativo, da Editora Global Partners, expõe os conceitos e as propostas de 28 coautores, de diferentes perfis e segmentos – todos já devidamente respaldados por carreiras consolidadas. Nesta obra, esses profissionais introduzem desde ensinamentos básicos para quem sonha em obter êxito em suas respectivas trajetórias, até como se manter estabelecido no alto da pirâmide corporativa. A importância de como saber anular os inevitáveis obstáculos – estes muitas vezes camuflados por armadilhas intrínsecas desse setor – são expostos, proporcionando ensinamentos fundamentais para superar tais contratempos. Os pontos de inflexão, apesar de individuais, denotam como os executivos bem-sucedidos confluem para soluções que contemplam todas as pessoas inseridas nas organizações.
In his lucid, straightforward commentary, His Holiness shows readers how to cultivate wisdom and compassion in their daily lives.
Sharks and their relatives, the rays and chimaeras, are the diverse group of cartilaginous fishes that have evolved over 400 million years. Historically considered of low economic value to large-scale fisheries, today many of these fishes have become the target of directed commercial and recreational fisheries around the world, and they are increasingly taken in the by-catch of fisheries targeting other species. This report emphasizes the widely-acknowledged need to improve shark fishery monitoring, expand biological research and take management action. It serves as an introduction to the ecology, status and conservation of the sharks and their relatives for a general audience. Shark fisheries can only be managed sustainably, and shark populations remain viable, with the introduction of new conservation and management initiatives.
True compassion is universal in scope. It is accompanied by a feeling of responsibility, said the Dalai Lama. This text provides a philosophy for our troubled times, and reveals a clear path to spiritual growth and enlightenment. It covers such themes as peace, love, religion, and justice.
Quality foods, such as traditional, EU certified, organic and health claimed are part of a growing trend towards added value in the agri-food sector. In these foods, elements of production, processing, marketing, agro-tourism and speciality stores are combined. Paramount above all is the link to the consumer, which requires a personal approach. At this point, one enters the field of food consumer science. This can be seen as a hybrid of two distinct sciences. On one hand, there is the 'hardware' component, i.e. the science of food. On the other hand, the 'software' component, related to the science of consumers' preferences and behaviour. In animal science, nearly all attention is given to t...
Chromatographic & Electrophoretic Techniques, Fourth Edition, Volume II: Zone Electrophoresis presents the methods of zone electrophoresis. This book discusses all the techniques that can be applied routinely. Organized into 17 chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the fundamental principle of zone electrophoresis. This text then examines the apparatus in common use for paper electrophoresis and discusses paper electrophoresis at low voltages. Other chapters describe the apparatus that combines several advantages resulting from high voltage paper electrophoresis and thin-layer chromatography. This book discusses as well the advantages of cellulose acetate membrane filter paper as a supporting medium for zone electrophoresis. The final chapter deals with preparative acrylamide gel electrophoresis on a small scale, which may involve either continuous electrophoretic elution or extraction of the RNA from zones cut out of the gel. This book is a valuable resource for biochemists, clinical chemists, clinicians, technicians, biophysicists, pathologists, and medical researchers.
Dehydroacetic Acid and Its Derivatives: Useful Synthons in Organic Synthesis outlines the use of DHA and its derivatives for the synthesis of pharmacologically active heterocyclic compounds. Beginning with an introduction to the chemistry and reactivity of Dehydroacetic Acid, the book goes on to outline the key ring transformation reactions of DHA. The synthesis of various derivatives is then discussed, before a wide range of metal complexes of DHA are explored in detail. The book then concludes with a review of DHA's biological importance and its impressive range of pharmacological activities, including anti-cancer, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and analgesic properties. For those researching the synthesis of bioactive heterocyclic compounds, this book is a valuable guide on the fundamental knowledge needed to facilitate and enhance the successful synthesis of lead molecules. - Gives detailed information on the underlying chemistry of Dehydroacetic acid and its derivatives - Highlights different approaches for the synthesis of derivatives, including metal complexes - Explores the biological importance of Dehydroacetic Acid
This set comprises 40 volumes covering 19th and 20th century European and American authors. These volumes will be available as a complete set, mini boxed sets (by theme) or as individual volumes. This second set compliments the first 68 volume set of Critical Heritage published by Routledge in October 1995.
