My First Pop-Up Book of Fables: Little Simon
No full textI find the text in this nice little pop-up particularly succinct and pithy. My favorite pop-up shows one arm and one leg of the lion moving outside the net that is holding him in.

My First Pop-Up Book of Fables: Little Simon
No full textThis may represent the first time that I have seen The Little Red Hen called a fable. Each of the three housemates--dog, pig, and turkey--is given one pop-up. My favorite shows the turkey fanning herself with a bored look on her face. One of a set of four from an unusual dealer specializing in pop-ups.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Carla Dij
Avaliação de sistemas adesivos em dentina decídua: influência do envelhecimento na microtração e na nanoinfiltração
Get PDFTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências da Saúde. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Odontologia.Este estudo in vitro foi realizado com o objetivo de avaliar a resistência à microtração, e a nanoinfiltração de sistemas adesivos em dentina decídua, imediatamente (IM) e após seis meses (6M) do procedimento adesivo. Coroas de molares decíduos, hígidos e extraídos, foram desgastadas com papel de carbeto de silício até a granulação 600, obtendo-se superfícies oclusais planas, distribuídas em quatro grupos: Scotchbond Multi-Purpose (SMP), Single Bond (SB), Clearfil SE Bond (CSB) e Adper Prompt L-Pop (APL). Baseado nos dados obtidos pôde-se concluir que a resistência adesiva e a nanoinfiltração não foram influenciadas pelo envelhecimento e que a expressão da nanoinfiltração foi diferente entre os adesivos de condicionamento ácido total e autocondicionantes
<em>Giuseppe Cafiero sulle orme di Joyce a Roma</em>
Get PDFIn 2006 Giuseppe Cafiero published James Joyce, Roma & altre storie, a novel with thriller-like undertones that weaves stories around the author of Ulysses.

Spotlight on Carla Ramsey
Get PDFCarla Ramsey, the author of the Adelaide comparison appearing in this issue, was born and raised in San Antonio, where she began studying piano at age six and trombone at eleven. I wish I had taken up cello instead, she says, .. but Texas was band country back in the \u2750s. Why trombone, instead of clarinet or flute like the other girls? I can\u27t remember. why I found this instrument so fascinating, but it might have had something to do with the fact that I enjoyed hanging out with and competing with the guys, admits- the self-described aging tomboy. Later, in my 20s and 30s, l studied cello for several years, but by then it was too late to master i
Carla Cordua: Sobre la estética
Get PDFIn this essay the Author presents a wide overview on the understandiong of aesthetics in the writings of a philosopher whose life production he has described in a series of former texts. The span of Carla Cordua\u27s aesthetic and artistic interests is wide and our author gleans her thoughts through her main woorks as well as in her shorter writings. Cordua addresses the views on aesthetics of various philosophers and also her own. She then proceeds to elaborate on the nature of art and its history, its relations with philosophy and sociology. She also refers to the relations between art, art work, and artist and the way art has been received in its different manifestations. She finally deals quite extensively with literary criticism of various singular authors, especially of those who study life\u27s alleged lack of meaning.En este ensayo el autor presenta un panorama abarcador del aspecto estético en los escritos de una filósofa cuya trayectoria ha seguido en numerosos estudios anteriores. La gama de los intereses estéticos y artísticos de Carla Cordua es amplia, y el ensayista recoge sus reflexiones tanto en sus obras medulares como en producciones más breves. Cordua presenta tanto las visiones de varios filósofos de la estética como sus propias visiones. De la estética pasa al estudio de la naturaleza del arte y su historia, sus relaciones con la filosofía y la sociología. Estudia las relaciones recíprocas entre el arte, la obra y el artista; la recepción del arte en sus diversas manifestaciones. Finalmente, entra ampliamente a la crítica literaria de autores particulares, especialmente la de aquellos que estudian el sinsentido de la vida
Molecular analyzis and study of expression of toxic aluminium responsive genes in oat (Avena sativa L.)
No full textO alumínio é o metal mais comum na crosta terrestre e está presente em grande parte das regiões de produção agrícola em todo o mundo. Em condições de solos ácidos (pH<4,5), o que caracteriza os solos de grande parte da região Centro-Sul do Brasil, o alumínio torna-se um metal tóxico (Al+2<=>Al+3) à maior parte das plantas cultivadas. Desta forma, é importante identificar variedades e espécies mais tolerantes na tentativa de se isolar genes de tolerância por se tratar de um caráter agronômico de interesse. Em aveia foi identificado um gene dominante de grande efeito e dois alelos (Al e al) na população UFRGS17 e UFRGS930598. Os objetivos deste trabalho foram converter e testar marcadores de DNA, de espécies correlatas à aveia, associados à tolerância ao alumínio e, identificar seqüências de RNA mensageiro diferentemente expressas na presença e na ausência de alumínio tóxico, na tentativa de se isolar possíveis candidatos à tolerância e que sejam exclusivos da espécie. O SNP identificado em aveia para XBCD1117 não se apresentou associado à tolerância ao alumínio quando testado em linhagens recombinantes de UFRGS17 X UFRGS930598. Logo, o gene para tolerância ao alumínio presente em UFRGS17 não é ortólogo ao gene Alp presente no cromossomo 4HS em cevada. Na análise de 68 clones foram identificadas 12 seqüências únicas. Destas, três não apresentaram homologia com seqüências depositadas em bancos de dados e, devido às suas especificidades, merecem ser mais estudadas. Três seqüências apresentaramse como fortes candidatas à tolerância ao alumínio tóxico em aveia, por já haverem sido identificadas como genes que conferem o caráter em outras espécies. Uma delas é um fator de ribosilação ADP e as outras duas são receptores-cinases.Aluminum is the most common metal on the Earth crust and it is found on most of the arable regions of the planet. Aluminum becomes a toxic metal (Al+2<=>Al+3) to the greatest part of crop plants in acidic soil conditions (pH<4,5), which characterizes most of the soils of the Central and Southern part of Brazil. Therefore, it is important to find more tolerant varieties and species, in order to isolate tolerance genes for it is a caracter of agronomic interest. A major effect dominant gene having two alleles, Al and al, was identified in oat in the population from the cross between UFRGS17 and UFRGS930598. The objectives of this work were to convert and test DNA markers associated with aluminum tolerance from oat related species, and to identify differentially expressed sequences from messenger RNA from a tester probe grown in aluminum stress condition and a not stressed driver probe, so species-specific oat candidate genes could be isolated. The SNP identified in oat from XBCD1117 was not associated to aluminum tolerance in the recombinant lines from UFRGS17 X UFRGS930598. Therefore, the gene involved in the aluminum tolerance at UFRGS17 may not be orthologus to gene Alp present at chromosome 4HS in barley. The analysis of 68 isolated sequences showed 12 exclusive ones. Among them, three clones did not have any homology with genbank sequences, and due to its high specificity are worth of future investigation. Three other sequences revealed high chances as candidates genes for toxic aluminum tolerance in oat, for they are already been identified as genes regulating this trait in other species. One of them is an ADP-ribosilation factor and the others are two receptor kinases
