Rosa Kliass
A retrospective overview of the landscape architecture of Rosa Kliass, characteristic for her decorative use of forms, colors and textures of plants and flowers, with an emphasis on tectonic elements (walls, floors, volumes, pergolas, waterfalls, mirror fountains and swimming pools). The edition reviews the last 50 year production of one of the most significant figures of the 2nd generation of landscape architects in Brazil who in1969 traveled to the USA, a turning point in her creative career. The book presents a selection of projects including her rehabilitation project of the port Estaçao das Docas (1999-2000) in Belém do Pará, protection project Parque do Abaet (1992) a landmark in Salvador; the Plano Preliminar Paisagístico de Curitiba (1965-66), an urban plan so the paranaense city could find an expansion model in accordance with green areas; project Paisagístico da Avenida Paulista (1973-74), one of the most beautiful avenues in Sao Paulo and in danger of destruction along other individual projects reviewed and chiefly illustrated.
Ethanol as a Green Alternative Fuel
In face of the increasingly obvious need to ensure the sustainability of the environment, alternative and renewable energy sources are no longer just the concern of environmentalists and have become commitments of governments virtually everywhere in the world. In this context, ethanol emerges as an excellent substitute for petroleum derivatives. This green alternative fuel is sustained by its own burning because when CO2 serves as a carbon source for the growth of plants, it will allow the carbohydrates to be fermented. In addition, currently different generations of this fuel are being proposed, considering the utilization of their own waste. However, challenges still need to be overcome to...

Control of Visceral Leishmaniasis by Immunotherapeutic and Prophylactic Strategies
Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) or kala-azar is the most dreadful of all forms of leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania donovani in Old World and Leishmania chagasi and/or Leishmania infantum in New World affecting millions of people worldwide. In active VL, macrophages host the replicating amastigotes in phagolysosomal compartments leading to splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, hyperglobulinemia, anemia, weight-loss, incessant fever and ultimately death if not treated. Treatments available against the disease are limited by increased incidence of resistance, serious side-effects, high cost and long course of treatment. Immuno-chemotherapy is an alternative to overcome the limitations of the drugs against ...
Global Sustainability in Energy, Building, Infrastructure, Transportation, and Water Technology
This book focuses on holistic approaches to sustainability in all sectors of building, infrastructure, and energy to achieve a best-balanced global energy, building, infrastructure, transportation, and water technology (EBITW) system using a series of innovative research and implementation solutions. The goal of this book is to define the context for proactive consideration of scientific theories and practical technical applications of sustainable development, following main seven themes: Renewable Energy Technology, Advanced Building Design Technology, Innovative Infrastructure and Transportation Engineering, Clean Water and Sanitation, Sustainable Urban and Rural Development, Clean Environment, and Sustainable Planet; which are very much interconnected to secure the global equilibrium. The book is prepared for a wide audience including researchers, field engineers, and students.
