English | ISBN: 1620813661 | 2012 | 223 pages | PDF | 4 MB
Lipases are ubiquitous enzymes which catalyze the hydrolysis of triacylglycerols to glycerols and free fatty acids. Due to their characteristics of enantioselectivity and regioselectivity and stability in organic solvents, they have gained importance in industrial applications. In this book, the authors examine the functions, synthesis and role in disease of lipases. Topics discussed include the action of lipases as a biotechnological tool; fungal lipases in biocatalysis; secreted phospholipase A2 inhibitors from cynara cardunculus L. and aloe vera extract as a potential therapeutic drug for inflammatory diseases; lipoprotein lipase activity in sickle cell nephropathy; lipases in the pharmaceutical industry; and yeast cell surface display of lipases.

Phonetics Fundamentals, Potential Applications and Role in Communicative Disorders

English | ISBN: 1634836375 | 2015 | 144 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Specific Language Impairment (SLI) occurs in 6.3% of children, twice as much in males than females. Deficits in phonology may include difficulties with early speech sound production, and/or weak phonological awareness skills, resulting in struggles with reading and writing. Chapter 1 reviews the most relevant research published that informs the definition, identification and treatment of expressive language impairment (ELI) in children ages 3 to 10 years old, with a focus on phonetic and phonological interventions. Chapter 2 explores the place of coarticulation in the phonology/phonetics dichotomy, relating coarticulating to what may in essence be viewed as its phonological counterpart – assimilation. Chapter 3 addresses how an approach based on phonological principles can be a reliable method for the speech intervention in children with cleft palate and compensatory articulation errors. A categorically stratified scale for classifying compensatory articulation errors according to severity and response to therapy is described. Finally, some strategies for speech intervention which are more suitable for a phonological and linguistic intervention are presented. The chapter explains how is that selecting the strategies to be used during the intervention according the severity of the articulation errors seem to increase their effectiveness.

English | 2005 | ISBN: 0965330877, 0979953758 | PDF | pages: 260 | 10.8 mb
In her seminal work Dianne White Oyler discusses the creation of the N’ko alphabet, based on the Maninka language, by Souleymane Kanté (1922-1987) in 1949 in Haute Guinée (Guinea). She carefully documents N’ko’s dissemination by a grassroots literacy campaign that started with Kanté and continues to the present, shows how important the language is in the evolution of cultural nationalism of the Mande-speaking people of West Africa, and discusses Kanté’s and Nko’s relationship to pan-Africanism.

Ideas can define and transform society, but how healthy is intellectual life today? In a period when Big Brother refers not to George Orwell but to a reality TV show, and when bright young things are developing gameshow formats rather than scribbling essays; when thinkers join think tanks to design short-term government policy rather than reflecting on and challenging the status quo, and when the ever growing number of graduates seem more interested in job prospects than academic endeavour, is intellectual life in terminal decline?
