World population is increasing at an alarming rate and this has resulted in increasing tremendously the demand for tree products such as wood for construction materials, fuel and paper, fruits, oils and medicines etc. This has put immense pressure on the world’s supplies of trees and raw material to industry and will continue to do so as long as human population continues to grow. Also, the quality of human diet, especially nutritional components, is adversely affected due to limited genetic improvement of most of fruit trees. Thus there is an immediate need to increase productivity of trees. Improvement has been made through conventional breeding methods, however, conventional breeding is...
O que caracteriza um bom líder? Será a sua capacidade de decidir rapidamente? Ou, pelo contrário, é a ponderação? É importante saber ouvir ou é melhor avançar, imediatamente, com soluções para cada problema? Será saber escolher as pessoas certas para os lugares certos? E o faro, a intuição, entram nesta equação? Rui Nabeiro, Graça Freitas, Henrique Gouveia e Melo, entre outras personalidades entrevistadas por Patrícia Matos, utilizaram vários adjectivos para caracterizar um líder: assertivo, resiliente, sonhador, eficaz, faminto. Vários estudiosos tentaram fazê-lo, também, ao longo dos anos, o que resultou em diferentes definições e em estilos de liderança distintos. Neste livro, reunimos dez histórias de liderança, homens e mulheres que nos inspiram, na sociedade actual portuguesa, e que nos habituámos a admirar. Quer conhecer os segredos de liderança e aprender com os melhores líderes nacionais?
Some molecules or conditions are exclusively toxic to biological systems and classified as being non-essential; others are essential for life. Nevertheless, above certain threshold even the essential will become toxic. Tightly controlled homeostatic control mechanisms are thus vital drivers of well being, longevity and survival. The identification and characterization of these intricate pathways form the foundations of Toxicogenomics. The initiation, and indeed completion, of numerous non-mammalian genome-sequencing projects, has driven the exponential growth of available genetic sequences. Collating this vast amount of data into functional and mechanistically meaningful units will provide n...
In Public Spectacles of Violence Rielle Navitski examines the proliferation of cinematic and photographic images of criminality, bodily injury, and technological catastrophe in early twentieth-century Mexico and Brazil, which were among Latin America’s most industrialized nations and later developed two of the region’s largest film industries. Navitski analyzes a wide range of sensational cultural forms, from nonfiction films and serial cinema to illustrated police reportage, serial literature, and fan magazines, demonstrating how media spectacles of violence helped audiences make sense of the political instability, high crime rates, and social inequality that came with modernization. In...
