“…In addition, unlike vertebrates, aquatic invertebrate adult stem cells are disseminated and widespread inside the animal body, are not associated with a regulatory microenvironment (niche) and do participate in aging and regeneration phenomena. …”

“…A comprehensive guide to GDPR-compliant data processing has been developed, which both summarises the broad legal environment and provides specific assistance in the design and implementation of GDPR-compliant data management processes, including Informed Consent, Legal Consequences of Withdrawal, and Privacy by Design…”

“…This book aims (i) to explain the basic principles governing resource recovery from water (how much is there, really); (ii) to provide a comprehensive overview and critical assessment of the established and emerging technologies for resource recovery from water; and (iii) to put resource recovery from water in a legal, economic (including the economy of scale of recovered products), social (consumer's point of view), and environmental sustainability framework. …”

“…“Este livro reúne trabalhos desenvolvidos sobre os temas relacionados às projeções do perfil epidemiológico do país e a organização e gestão dos serviços de saúde, com o objetivo de apoiar o planejamento e a prospecção estratégica do sistema de saúde em âmbito nacional. …”

“…Environmental genomics, popularized by the metagenome concept, can generate billions of DNA sequences from a given environment furnishing a comparative assessment of a community in situ. Metagenomics (sequence-based approaches applied across genomes in an environment) provides information about functional capabilities and responses of organism (plant, pathogen and beneficial agent) assemblages in different niches, giving a different perspective in the management of plant diseases at a multitrophic level. …”

“…Markus Schultze-Kraft is Professor of Political Science at the Berlin School of Economics and Law, and Arnhold Associate at the Leibniz Institute for Educational Media / Georg Eckert Institute, Germany…”

“…Três eixos norteiam a obra: o primeiro, está mais diretamente relacionado às discussões que pensam o patrimônio nas suas interfaces com os aspectos da memória e identidade; o segundo, reflete sobre a articulação do patrimônio com a cultura e identidade dos povos do campo; o terceiro se detém sobre assuntos que tangenciam o tema do patrimônio e/ou das ruralidades, enfocando diferentes dimensões tais como a economia, a cultura e a arte…”

“…Contém conhecimentos e informações aplicáveis à sua cadeia produtiva, que podem ser úteis para a tomada de decisões estratégicas de gestão e de operacionalização para agricultores familiares, empreendedores, órgãos de assistência técnica, P&DI, agroindústrias, instituições de fomento e formuladores de políticas públicas para alavancar com sustentabilidade esse importante agronegócio…”

“…Therefore, the present moment may be an important time to assess the impact of strategic documents and actions in the last decade and, possibly, to draft a new National Education Law, better adapted to current realities, starting from the recent initiative by the President of Romania – the Educated Romania strategic vision which was also politically assumed by the Romanian Government…”

“…Most studies presented in the Special Issue were applied to different basins in Europe, America, and Asia, and are the result of the cooperation between universities and/or research centers in different countries and continents, which constitutes an optimistic fact for the international scientific communication…”

“…In this framework, this Special Issue collects research studying several materials and methods related to the antibacterial properties of surfaces for different applications and discussions about the environmental and human-safety aspects…”

“…Hoping to provide a bridge between theoretical research and practical applications, this Special Issue collects quality contributions related to natural and artificial slopes under unsaturated conditions, focusing on aspects such as: water retention and transport properties, mechanical behavior, advances in experimental methods, laboratory and in situ characterization, field monitoring, geotechnical and geophysical field tests, landslide investigation and prevention, the design and maintenance of engineered slopes, and the constitutive and numerical modeling of hydro-mechanical behavior…”

“…Inks that contain living cells are referred to as bioinks and the process as 3D bioprinting. Some of the key aspects of the formulation of bioinks are, e.g., the tailoring of mechanical properties, biocompatibility and the rheological behavior of the ink which may affect the cell viability, proliferation, and cell differentiation.The current Special Issue emphasizes the bio-technological engineering of novel biocomposite inks for various 3D printing technologies, also considering important aspects in the production and use of bioinks…”
