Shamisen
Japon, XXe siècle. Haru, une musicienne itinérante jouant du shamisen – instrument traditionnel japonais –, devient célèbre tant son art et la beauté de son chant touchent en plein cœur les habitants de la région. Durant son périple, elle parvient à séduire un kappa, l’un des yōkai les plus célèbres du Japon, qui lui offre la clé de la dimension divine. En reprenant son chemin, Haru rencontrera alors les protagonistes emblématiques de la mythologie et du folklore japonais. Ce conte, directement inspiré de la vie de la célèbre goze Haru Kobayashi (1900-2005), explore les thèmes de la beauté et de la liberté à travers l’art, ainsi que le pouvoir de la musique folklorique, génératrice de l’identité culturelle nippone.

Filtração em Margem Inversa Aplicada no Tratamento de Água de Ecossistemas Lênticos
Este livro apresenta possibilidades de aplicação de concepções práticas para a recuperação e a renaturalização de ambientes lênticos; conceitua e discute alternativas, oferecendo um arcabouço técnico prático para subsidiar soluções efetivas e proporcionar a melhora de forma significativa a qualidade das águas em lagos e rios suscetíveis a ação antrópica. Diante do exposto, são abordados temas que originaram conceitualmente este trabalho. Assim, o livro percorre um histórico de uma tecnologia amplamente utilizada como pré-tratamento de água para abastecimento público; que é a filtração em margem (FM). Nesse sentido, realizar uma modificação na clássica tecnologia da filtração em margem pode ser uma interessante estratégica operacional. Nessa nova abordagem, denominada "filtração em margem inversa (FMI)", foram concebidos conceitos operacionais inovadores, os quais proporciona a melhoria da qualidade da água através de soluções ambientalmente amigáveis. Por fim, este livro apresenta além de conceitos operacionais inovadores, novos critérios técnicos, projetos e esquema de funcionamento.
Shadow Life
Poet and novelist Hiromi Goto effortlessly blends wry, observational slice-of-life literary fiction with poetic magical realism in the tender and surprising graphic novel Shadow Life, with haunting art from debut artist Ann Xu. When Kumiko’s well-meaning adult daughters place her in an assisted living home, the seventy-six-year-old widow gives it a try, but it’s not where she wants to be. She goes on the lam and finds a cozy bachelor apartment, keeping the location secret even while communicating online with her eldest daughter. Kumiko revels in the small, daily pleasures: decorating as she pleases, eating what she wants, and swimming in the community pool. But something has followed her from her former residence—Death’s shadow. Kumiko’s sweet life is shattered when Death’s shadow swoops in to collect her. With her quick mind and sense of humor, Kumiko, with the help of friends new and old, is prepared for the fight of her life. But how long can an old woman thwart fate?

Diversity and Benefits of Microorganisms from the Tropics
This book addresses the diversity of tropical microorganisms and its applications in agriculture, renewable energy production and environmental protection. It covers several tropical habitats such as rain forests, mangroves, sea and river waters and describes how microorganisms isolated from these regions can be used to control insects and plant diseases, to improve sugar cane and biofuels production among other applications. The book also aims to bring researchers’ attention to the potential of tropical microorganisms for biotechnological purposes, an area that is still far from being well explored.
Plant Growth-Promoting Microbes for Sustainable Biotic and Abiotic Stress Management
Abiotic and biotic stress factors, including drought, salinity, waterlog, temperature extremes, mineral nutrients, heavy metals, plant diseases, nematodes, viruses, and diseases, adversely affect growth as well as yield of crop plants worldwide. Plant growth-promoting microorganisms (PGPM) are receiving increasing attention from agronomists and environmentalists as candidates to develop an effective, eco-friendly, and sustainable alternative to conventional agricultural (e.g., chemical fertilizers and pesticide) and remediation (e.g., chelators-enhanced phytoremediation) methods employed to deal with climate change-induced stresses. Recent studies have shown that plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB), rhizobia, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), cyanobacteria have great potentials in the management of various agricultural and environmental problems. This book provides current research of biofertilizers and the role of microorganisms in plant health, with specific emphasis on the mitigating strategies to combat plant stresses.
Neural Metabolism In Vivo
From the preface: “Neural Metabolism In Vivo aims to provide a comprehensive overview of neurobiology by presenting the basic principles of up-to-date and cutting-edge technology, as well as their application in assessing the functional, morphological and metabolic aspects of the brain. Investigation of neural activity of the living brain via neurovascular coupling using multimodal imaging techniques extended our understanding of fundamental neurophysiological mechanisms, regulation of cerebral blood flow in connection to neural activity and the interplay between neurons, astrocytes and blood vessels. Constant delivery of glucose and oxygen for energy metabolism is vital for brain function...
Lord Byron's Doctor
Lord Byron's Doctor is one Polidori, the travelling companion, confidante and unwilling chronicler of George Gordon, Lord Byron. It is the year 1816 and Byron, driven out of England by scandalous allegations of incest with his sister, undertakes a debauched European Grande Tour to meet up with the Percy and Mary Shelly in Geneva. From austere Dutch towns to the mountains of Switzerland, the poet's most obsessive thoughts are faithfully recorderd by the awed and repulsed Polidori. Paul West's literary and historical invention of the obscure Italian doctor produces a carnal, extravangant story of Gothic depravity, of poetic genius and the sometimes diabolical personality behind it.
