A mecânica, parte da física que se propõe a descrever os movimentos, é uma das áreas mais antigas da ciência, confunde-se com a da gravitação e da astronomia: já na Antiguidade os sábios procuravam entender os movimentos que ocorriam no Universo. Física Universitária 1: Mecânica Básica aborda alguns conceitos fundamentais de mecânica, como espaço, tempo, massa, gravitação e campo, nem sempre tratados nos livros didáticos. Um de seus diferenciais está no aprofundamento de conceitos matemáticos, como coordenadas generalizadas e referenciais vetoriais, além de tratar temas como as leis de Kepler, o conceito de trabalho e o de forças conservativas em um nível de profundidade acima do usual. Por meio de um formalismo matemático adequado e uma discussão de conceitos muitas vezes olvidados, este livro de Gil da Costa Marques serve de apoio aos alunos que cursam as disciplinas universitárias básicas de mecânica.
This is the first textbook to offer a comprehensive account of ocular prosthetics and the evidence used to underpin and support this field of healthcare. It does so by bringing together information from ophthalmology, prosthetic eye and contact lens literature, and from experts actively engaged in these fields. The book describes the psychological, anatomical and physiological aspects of eye loss as well as surgical procedures for removing the eye, patient evaluation, constructing prosthetic eyes (including prosthetic and surgical techniques for dealing with socket complications), the socket’s response to prosthetic eyes, prosthetic eye maintenance and the history of prosthetic eyes. Though primarily intended for prosthetists, ophthalmologists, ophthalmic nurses, optometrists and students in the fields of ocular medicine, maxillofacial medicine and anaplastology, the book also offers a useful resource for other health workers and family members who care for prosthetic eye patients, and for those patients seeking a deeper understanding of the issues affecting them than they can find elsewhere.

Over the last few decades, the study of microbial biofilms has been gaining interest among the scientific community. These microbial communities comprise cells adhered to surfaces that are surrounded by a self-produced exopolymeric matrix that protects biofilm cells against different external stresses. Biofilms can have a negative impact on different sectors within society, namely in agriculture, food industries, and veterinary and human health. As a consequence of their metabolic state and matrix protection, biofilm cells are very difficult to tackle with antibiotics or chemical disinfectants. Due to this problem, recent advances in the development of antibiotic alternatives or complementary strategies to prevent or control biofilms have been reported. This book includes different strategies to prevent biofilm formation or to control biofilm development and includes full research articles, reviews, a communication, and a perspective.

Ethnobotany: Ethnopharmacology to Bioactive Compounds comprises of carefully selected studies focusing on the importance of ethnobotanical data as an effective approach towards the discovery of novel ethnopharmacological properties and bioactive compounds that characterize herbal products, pharmaceutical drugs and medicinal plants. This book incorporates therapeutic, nutritional, phytochemistry and pharmacological properties of medicinal plants, mechanisms of action and clinical trials of bioactive compounds as well as the molecular basis of the bioactive compounds from the perspective of modern phytochemistry. This book will be useful for a diverse group of readers including students, botanists, pharmacists, chemists, herbalists and those researchers interested in ethnobotany and ethnopharmacology.
ABSTRACT: Helping patients achieve an optimal quality of life through patient-centered treatment planning should be the ultimate goal of all oral health care providers. However, this issue extends beyond the realm of the individual clinician's office. This text presents quality-of-life research from various fields, including psychology, public health, and general health care; discusses how a patient-centered approach can be applied to basic oral and craniofacial research, clinical dental practice, community dental health issues, and dental education; and addresses how oral health-related quality of life relates to treating and understanding different patient populations, such as children with special needs, medically compromised patients, patients with oral cancer, and patients with chronic facial pain. Also discussed is how factors such as race/ethnicity, gender, and age can affect oral health-related quality-of-life concerns and treatment strategies. Finally, the book offers an outlook on the role that oral health-related quality of life will play in future research and dental education.
