"Missal" é uma obra poética de João da Cruz e Souza, um dos principais representantes do simbolismo na literatura brasileira. Publicado em 1893, "Missal" é um marco na poesia simbolista, destacando-se por sua linguagem elaborada e musicalidade, explorando temas profundos como a espiritualidade, a morte, e a busca pela transcendência. João da Cruz e Souza nasceu em 1861 em Desterro, atual Florianópolis, e foi um dos primeiros poetas afro-brasileiros a alcançar reconhecimento literário no Brasil. Sua obra é fundamental para o simbolismo brasileiro, um movimento que surgiu em reação ao realismo e ao naturalismo, focando mais na subjetividade, na sugestão e na musicalidade das palavras.

The authors of this timely reference provide an updated and global view on ocean wave energy conversion – and they do so for wave energy developers as well as for students and professors. The book is orientated to the practical solutions that this new industry has found so far and the problems that any device needs to face. It describes the actual principles applied to machines that convert wave power to electricity and examines state-of-the-art modern systems.

The topic of Enterprise Information Systems (EIS) is having an increasingly relevant strategic impact on global business and the world economy, and organizations are undergoing hard investments in search of the rewarding benefits of efficiency and effectiveness that these ranges of solutions promise. Organizational Integration of Enterprise Systems and Resources: Advancements and Applications show that EIS are at the same time responsible for tremendous gains in some companies and tremendous losses in others. Therefore, their adoption should be carefully planned and managed. This title highlights new ways to identify opportunities and overtake trends and challenges of EIS selection, adoption, and exploitation as it is filled with models, solutions, tools, and case studies. The book provides researchers, scholars, and professionals with some of the most advanced research, solutions, and discussions of Enterprise Information Systems design, implementation, and management.

An inherited disease resembling human osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) was diagnosed in Holstein calves in Texas. Although the progenitor bull was clinically normal and only 25% of its progeny were affected, dominant inheritance was confirmed by the birth of an affected calf in a cross-breeding study. The defective gene probably arose as a de novo gonadal mutation in the bull. Affected calves had marked bone fragility with multiple in utero and perinatal bone fractures, joint laxity, blue sclerae, and pink, friable teeth. Microscopically, there was marked hypoplasia of tendons, dentin, sclerae and skin, and defective bone apposition, resulting in osteopenia, and in some cases, multiple trabecular microfractures. Ultrastructurally, there was dilation of the rough endoplasmic reticulum in osteoblasts, odontoblasts and fibroblasts of sclerae, skin and tendons, and reduced collagen fibril diameter in sclerae, skin and tendons. Biochemical alterations included delayed electrophoretic migration of collagen (alpha) chains in extracts of bone, tendon and skin, and increased hydroxylation of lysine residues in type I collagen from bone. Arrested development of embryonic mesenchymal cells which produce type I collagen is suggested as a possible mechanism for the alterations observed in this disease. The clinical and morphological characteristics of this disease were similar, but not identical, to a disease reported in Holstein-Friesian cattle in Australia. These two bovine syndromes should prove to be valuable animal models of human OI.
