Comparative Perspectives on the Rise of the Brazilian Novel
Comparative Perspectives on the Rise of the Brazilian Novel presents a framework of comparative literature based on a systemic and empirical approach to the study of the novel and applies that framework to the analysis of key nineteenth-century Brazilian novels. The works under examination were published during the period in which the forms and procedures of the novel were acclimatized as the genre established and consolidated itself in Brazil.
The Atlantic Forest
The Atlantic Forest is one of the 36 hotspots for biodiversity conservation worldwide. It is a unique, large biome (more than 3000 km in latitude; 2500 in longitude), marked by high biodiversity, high degree of endemic species and, at the same time, extremely threatened. Approximately 70% of the Brazilian population lives in the area of this biome, which makes the conflict between biodiversity conservation and the sustainability of the human population a relevant issue. This book aims to cover: 1) the historical characterization and geographic variation of the biome; 2) the distribution of the diversity of some relevant taxa; 3) the main threats to biodiversity, and 4) possible opportunities to ensure the biodiversity conservation, and the economic and social sustainability. Also, it is hoped that this book can be useful for those involved in the development of public policies aimed at the conservation of this important global biome.
Smart Objects and Technologies for Social Good
This book constitutes the proceedings of the Second EAI international Conference on Smart Objects and Technologies for Social Good, GOODTECHS 2016, held in Venice, Italy, November 30 – December 1, 2016. The 38 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 73 submissions. The papers reflect the design, implementation, deployment, operation and evaluation of smart objects and technologies for social good. A social good can be understood as a service that benefits a large number of people in a most possible way. Some classic examples are healthcare, safety, environment, democracy, and human rights, or even art, entertainment, and communication.
Tributação e novas tecnologias
Agora o assunto é Tributação e Novas Tecnologias. E, tal como tem ocorrido nas ocasiões anteriores, a pesquisa foi desenvolvida a partir de questões que formulamos para serem respondidas por juristas de notório saber, tendo em vista o esclarecimento de importantes aspectos, todos de inegável interesse para os que lidam com o Direito. Este livro, que temos a satisfação de apresentar à comunidade jurídica, é fruto dessa nossa última pesquisa, e examina, portanto, questões relativas à Tributação e Novas Tecnologias. Sua inegável valia, que o coloca muito acima dos livros de autoria coletiva em geral, consiste em que oferece ao leitor, em um só volume, resposta de muitos especialistas sobre as mesmas questões, facilitando bastante o trabalho de quem pretenda enfrentar e resolver um problema relativo à tributação em face das novas tecnologias.
Carbon, Nitrogen and Phosphorus Cycling in Forest Soils
The majority of carbon stored in the soils of the world is stored in forests. The refractory nature of some portions of forest soil organic matter also provides the slow, gradual release of organic nitrogen and phosphorus to sustain long term forest productivity. Contemporary and future disturbances, such as climatic warming, deforestation, short rotation sylviculture, the invasion of exotic species, and fire, all place strains on the integrity of this homeostatic system of C, N, and P cycling. On the other hand, the CO2 fertilization effect may partially offset losses of soil organic matter, but many have questioned the ability of N and P stocks to sustain the CO2 fertilization effect. Desp...
Sustainable Crop Production
This book includes twenty-one comprehensive chapters addressing various soil and crop management issues, including modern techniques in enhancing crop production in the era of climate change. There are a few case studies and experimental evidence about these production systems in specific locations. Particular focus is provided on the state-of-the-art of biotechnology, nanotechnology, and precision agriculture, as well as many other recent approaches in ensuring sustainable crop production. This book is useful for undergraduate and graduate students, teachers, and researchers, particularly in the fields of crop science, soil science, and agronomy.
Tracheostomy
Despite often taken as a simple procedure, techniques on tracheostomy have evolved considerably on the last few years. Consequently, new technical variations and indications for different purposes are being developed and proposed. The current book is proposed to serve as a comprehensive guide exclusively devoted to tracheostomy, discussing its most important details, variations and indications. Here the reader will find a broad discussion ranging from the most basic pre-clinical aspects to post-surgical procedures and complications. Great emphasis is placed on key topics such as the oncologic patient, variations of the technique, and tracheostomy in the intensive care unit, among others. Additionally, some issues that are not commonly discussed in regular textbooks, like tracheostomy in child and in great obese, are also included. With a wealth of photos, illustrations and tables, Tracheostomy – A Surgical Guide provides the material necessary to support a safe and effective surgical intervention in different populations and surgical contexts, with the hope that it will result in improved care for patients who underwent tracheostomy.
Transtornos Alimentares e Neurociência
Os transtornos alimentares são desvios no comportamento alimentar que podem levar aos extremos da obesidade ou da desnutrição severa. Apresentam a maior taxa de mortalidade entre os transtornos psiquiátricos. O livro Transtornos alimentares e neurociência apresenta parte dos resultados de pesquisas sobre o tema desenvolvidas pelo grupo "Comportamentos e Transtornos Alimentares", registrado no Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq) em julho de 2011, em parceria com pesquisadores colaboradores de instituições brasileiras. O objetivo do livro é trazer a discussão e a reflexão de diversos aspectos ligados aos transtornos alimentares, além das principais contribuições da neurociência na compreensão de sua etiologia, comorbidades e complicações clínicas.
