A obra oferece introspecções intelectuais e extrospecções didáticas dos autores nas diversas áreas do conhecimento imersos nos fazeres docentes e aprendizagens discentes enquanto resultados de pesquisas e experiências educacionais. Com isso, o estudo exarado nos capítulos, a presente publicação contribui com textos que versam de algum modo, direta ou indiretamente, a educação e o ensino numa perspectiva da teoria ou pela prática pedagógica com a intenção de trazer ideias interdisciplinares e questionamentos para incentivar o debate a respeito do ensino e da aprendizagem. Tudo isso se revela por meio de novos e múltiplos olhares interdisciplinares na educação e articulados pelos conhecimentos teóricos aos práticos, possibilitando ampliar e significar os múltiplos saberes para Pensar e Fazer a Educação.
This edited volume adopts an evolutionary framework to explore how pre-existing differences in life history, behaviour, and physiology of birds may determine the course of their adaptation to urban habitats.
This volume presents the proceedings of the Brazilian Congress on Biomedical Engineering (CBEB 2018). The conference was organised by the Brazilian Society on Biomedical Engineering (SBEB) and held in Armação de Buzios, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil from 21-25 October, 2018. Topics of the proceedings include these 11 tracks: • Bioengineering • Biomaterials, Tissue Engineering and Artificial Organs • Biomechanics and Rehabilitation • Biomedical Devices and Instrumentation • Biomedical Robotics, Assistive Technologies and Health Informatics • Clinical Engineering and Health Technology Assessment • Metrology, Standardization, Testing and Quality in Health • Biomedical Signal and Image Processing • Neural Engineering • Special Topics • Systems and Technologies for Therapy and Diagnosis
"The Food Industry: Perceptions, Practices and Future Prospects explores different aspects related to the food industry. The book begins by presenting various perceptions towards western and ayurvedic food industries. It continues by examining the potential of enhancing agents in replacing chemical additives in bread processing and discussing the performance of whole grain wheat flour and the enzyme transglutaminase on the technological characteristics of spaghetti. Additionally, the book includes a study of microbial pectinases, cellulases and xylanases in the food industry, focusing on types of support and immobilization techniques, as well as an experimental study focusing on shelf-life increase of pineapples via drying techniques. Other chapters focus on different yeast strain approaches in beer production, the use of natural bioactive compounds from plants and their extraction processes, and essential oil extraction techniques for Venezuelan lemons, among other topics"--
This book addresses corrosion problems and their solutions at facilities in the oil refining and petrochemical industry, including cooling water and boiler feed water units. Further, it describes and analyzes corrosion control actions, corrosion monitoring, and corrosion management. Corrosion problems are a perennial issue in the oil refining and petrochemical industry, as they lead to a deterioration of the functional properties of metallic equipment and harm the environment – both of which need to be protected for the sake of current and future generations. Accordingly, this book examines and analyzes typical and atypical corrosion failure cases and their prevention at refineries and petrochemical facilities, including problems with: pipelines, tanks, furnaces, distillation columns, absorbers, heat exchangers, and pumps. In addition, it describes naphthenic acid corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, hydrogen damages, sulfidic corrosion, microbiologically induced corrosion, erosion-corrosion, and corrosion fatigue occurring at refinery units. At last, fouling, corrosion and cleaning are discussed in this book.
This deep dive into humanity’s very long fight against malaria is “a vivid and compelling history with a message that’s entirely relevant today” (Elizabeth Kolbert, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Sixth Extinction). In a time when every emergent disease inspires waves of panic, why aren’t we doing more to eradicate one of our oldest foes? And how does a parasitic disease that we’ve known how to prevent for more than a century still infect 500 million people every year, killing nearly 1 million of them? Philanthropists from Laura Bush to Bono to Bill Gates have contributed to the effort to find a cure for malaria—but there’s much more that can be done to minimize its de...
Brazil is a country of continental proportions whose gross domestic product is unevenly distributed among its various regions. The impact of general domestic economic policies has often been perceived as not being regionally neutral, but as reinforcing the geographic concentration of economic activities. This detailed book examines the regional impact of such general policies as: industrialization, agricultural modernization, privatization, stabilization, science and technology, labor, and foreign direct investment. Written by recognized and respected scholars, this book fills a significant gap in the current literature on regional development in Brazil. Researchers and students in economics, economic history, political science and regional studies, and others interested in the economics of transition to a market system will find this comprehensive collection an invaluable resource.
O princípio da indissociabilidade entre Ensino, Pesquisa e Extensão é o pilar do funcionamento do Programa Educação Tutorial – PET. Outra característica essencial presente nas atividades dos grupos PET é a natureza coletiva e interdisciplinar de suas ações. Essas importantes orientações servem para dar maior qualidade à formação acadêmica dos graduandos, estimulando o espírito crítico e o desenvolvimento da cidadania. Em todos os capítulos desta obra, vê-se, na descrição das atividades de cada PET da UFC, a função social da educação superior sendo apresentada de forma nítida à comunidade acadêmica e à sociedade.
Genre analysis has a long-established tradition in literature, but interest in the analysis of non-literary genres has been very recent. This book examines the theory of genre analysis, looks at genre analysis in action, taking texts from a wide variety of genres and discusses the use of genre analysis in language teaching and language reform.
