O Brasil precisa de uma agenda econômica consistente e de longo prazo com seus três principais parceiros de comércio e investimento: China, Estados Unidos e da União Europeia. Juntos, estes países foram responsáveis por 50% do comércio exterior do Brasil e por 72% de todos os investimentos estrangeiros recebidos diretamente pelo país em 2013. No entanto, estes números não refletem em todo o potencial de oportunidades de negócios que podem ser exploradas com esses parceiros, nos quais são essenciais para o futuro da indústria brasileira , tanto em termos de crescimento econômico e criação de emprego quanto para promoção da ciência, tecnologia, inovação e educação de qualidade.
A indústria brasileira apresenta a sua visão para o país. O Mapa Estratégico da Indústria 2013-2022 representa um esforço, de mais de 500 representantes empresariais, em definir as ações necessárias para fazer o Brasil crescer mais e melhor, e refletir sobre os problemas que impedem esse crescimento.

A young boy, thin and ill, feeds his small brother in a ritualized act of desperation, half-stifling him. The boy will be treated, his father will get a job, and the family will be moved from their shack in the slums of Rio de Janeiro to a suburban house, courtesy of the American viewers of Gordon Parks's photographs in Life magazine. It all turned
Emigrant voting has been implemented in more than 150 countries in the world, allowing emigrants to take part in the elections of their home country. This phenomenon is a consequence of global migration and political transnationalism. Looking at the experience of Brazil, this book explores the changed nature of Brazilian emigration and analyses how emigrant voting was initially introduced and subsequently permitted in all presidential elections. The book also investigates what external voting rights represent to the Brazilian emigrant community and if and how Brazilian emigrants engage politically with their country of origin. It is based on original research and data collected from Brazilians abroad across the seven countries with the most Brazilian emigrants.
Downscaled physical models, also referred to as subscale models, have played an essential role in the investigation of the complex physics of flight until the recent disruption of numerical simulation. Despite the fact that improvements in computational methods are slowly pushing experimental techniques towards a secondary role as verification or calibration tools, real-world testing of physical prototypes still provides an unmatched confidence. Physical models are very effective at revealing issues that are sometimes not correctly identified in the virtual domain, and hence can be a valuable complement to other design tools. But traditional wind-tunnel testing cannot always meet all of the ...
This book aims to describe the role of silicon in the environment from the biogeochemical cycle of terrestrial ecosystems, uptake to cellular and tissue bioaccumulation and its effects in mitigating abiotic and biotic stresses. From an agronomic point of view, this knowledge is essential to boost agricultural production and improve its quality and the sustainability of crops in the face of the growing pressure of different stresses on crop systems of different natures. Si is the only multi-stress mitigator in plant nutrition. It plays an important role in mitigating nutritional deficiency by increasing nutrient use efficiency, something that will be very important in the future: producing mo...
