A obra Estudos Linguísticos e Literários é o primeiro volume de uma série dedicada a apresentar resultados de produções acadêmicas do Programa de Mestrado Profissional em Ensino de Língua Portuguesa e suas Respectivas Literaturas (PPGELL), pós-graduação vinculada ao Centro de Ciências Sociais e Educação da Universidade do Estado do Pará. O Programa em questão visa à formação e a qualificação de professores de Língua Portuguesa para que atuem em sala de aula de maneira interdisciplinar, usando aparatos tecnológicos para desenvolver os conteúdos a serem estudados, ressignificando os saberes linguísticos: Língua, Literaturas e suas interfaces artísticas. Os discentes ...
“Não há ensino sem pesquisa e pesquisa sem ensino. Esses que-fazeres se encontram um no corpo do outro. Enquanto ensino, continuo buscando, reprocurando. Ensino porque busco, porque indaguei, porque indago e me indago. Pesquiso para constatar, constatando, intervenho e intervindo educo e me educo. Pesquisa para conhecer o que ainda não conhece e comunicar ou anunciar a novidade.” Paulo Freire As palavras de Paulo Freire norteiam o desenvolvimento do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ensino de Língua Portuguesa e suas respectivas literaturas, o qual vinculado à área de concentração “Práticas Pedagógicas: interfaces entre o ensino de Língua Portuguesa e suas literaturas” é su...
Semiconductor Sensors provides complete coverage of all important aspects of all modern semiconductor sensing devices. It is the only book that offers detailed coverage of the fabrication, characterization, and operational principles of the entire spectrum of devices made from silicon and other semiconductors; and it is written by world-renowned experts in the sensor field. This authoritative guide combines user-friendly organization for quick reference with a masterful pedagogical design that helps build the reader's understanding from section to section and from one chapter to the next. It begins with a discussion of semiconductor sensor classification and terminology and moves on to a bro...
This review of recent developments in our understanding of the role of microbes in sustainable agriculture and biotechnology covers a research area with enormous untapped potential. Chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and other agricultural inputs derived from fossil fuels have increased agricultural production, yet growing awareness and concern over their adverse effects on soil productivity and environmental quality cannot be ignored. The high cost of these products, the difficulties of meeting demand for them, and their harmful environmental legacy have encouraged scientists to develop alternative strategies to raise productivity, with microbes playing a central role in these eff...
Spellbinding examination of power, violence, and mythmaking in the midst of colonial conquest and anticolonial resistance
Metal contamination is an increasing ecological and eco-toxicological risk. Understanding the processes involved in metal mobilization, sorption and mineralization in soils are key features for soil bioremediation. Following an introduction to the physical, chemical and biological components of contaminated soils, various chapters address the interactions of soil, microorganisms, plants and the water phase necessary to transfer metals into biological systems. These include topics such as potential hazards at mining sites; rare earth elements in biotic and abiotic acidic systems; manganese redox reactions; biomineralisation, uranium in seepage water; metal-resistant streptomycetes; mycorrhiza in re-forestation; metal (hyper)accummulation in plants; microbial metal uptake; and their potential for bioremediation. This book will be of interest to soil biologists, geologists and chemists, researchers and graduate students, as well as consulting companies and small enterprises involved in bioremediation.
Trees have been around for more than 370 million years, and today there are about 80 thousand species of them, occupying 3.5 billion hectares worldwide, including 250 million ha of commercial plantations. While forests can provide tremendous environmental, social, and economic benefits to nations, they also affect the hydrologic cycle in different ways. As the demand for water grows and local precipitation patterns change due to global warming, plantation forestry has encountered an increasing number of water-related conflicts worldwide. This document provides a country-by-country summary of the current state of knowledge on the relationship between forest management and water resources. Based on available research publications, the Editor-in-Chief of this document contacted local scientists from countries where the impact of forest management on water resources is an issue, inviting them to submit a chapter.
Climate change has demonstrated, perhaps more than any other environmental concerns, the complexities of the human-nature interrelationship and the need for embedding a far greater environmental consciousness into our social values and norms. A drastic reduction in global greenhouse gas emissions requires a transition to low carbon cities. This demands a better understanding of the interactions between social, technical, and spatial processes which constitute cities. The aim of this book is to explore these interactions and urge urban planners and other built environment professionals to revisit some of their traditional concepts, methods, and ways of thinking about what constitutes a ‘goo...
Physiological and Biotechnological Aspects of Extremophiles highlights the current and topical areas of research in this rapidly growing field. Expert authors from around the world provide the latest insights into the mechanisms of these fascinating organisms use to survive.The vast majority of extremophiles are microbes which include archaea, bacteria and some eukaryotes. These microbes live under chemical and physical extremes that are usually lethal to cellular molecules, yet they manage to survive and even thrive. Extremophiles have important practical uses. They are a valuable source of industrially important enzymes and recent research has revealed novel mechanisms and biomolecular str...
