Mrs. Pig's Bulk Buy
by Mary RaynerFrom the book: Once when the ten piglets were very small, their mother, Mrs. Pig, had a problem. Her piglets were all fond of ketchup, too fond. They ate it on everything. No matter how hard Mrs. Pig tried to cook things they would like, they never tasted it; everything was covered with ketchup -- even dessert -- before they ate it. Not until one day at the supermarket, when there was a big sale on ketchup, did Mrs. Pig think of a way to solve her problem. She bought six enormous jars. And brought them home. Though there may be no fierce wolf after the piglets this time, their situation is almost as grave, and the final results are just as funny and even more lasting than the ones in Mr. and Mrs. Pig's Evening Out and Garth Pig and the Ice Cream Lady. Other books about the Pig family are available from Bookshare.

Much Like Us: What Science Reveals about the Thoughts, Feelings, and Behaviour of Animals

By turns surprising, humourous and thought-provoking, Much Like Us invites us on a journey around the animal kingdom, explaining along the way how dogs demonstrate empathy, why chimpanzees wage war and how crows and ravens craft tools to catch food. Sachser brings the science to life with examples and anecdotes drawn from his own research, illuminating the vast strides in understanding that have been made over the last 30 years.

Muelle e os salta-pedras
by Rafael EstradaAlguma vez vos contei a história de Muelle? Muelle era um menino com nariz de rato, olhar sonhador e cabelos de ouriço. Acreditava que podia fazer qualquer coisa a que se propusesse, tão inocente que ele era. —Gostaria de saltar como os salta-pedras —disse um dia, quase sem saber porquê, suficientemente alto, como que para que os demais o ouvissem. A sua mãe, Ballesta, sorriu como fazem as mães; Resorte, o seu pai, tossiu como tossem os pais; e o avô, acenou com a cabeça para cima e para baixo. Tudo isto acontecia numa manhã ensolarada, quando o Inverno começava já a despedir-se de Pedregal. A relva, deixava-se cair para um lado e depois para o outro, porque o vento assim o queria. Ballesta, mais que ninguém, conhecia a tendência de Muelle a imaginar coisas impossíveis. Penteava-lhe os dois remoínhos insubmissos, com toda a paciência de uma mãe, e preguntou-lhe: —Que loucura é essa de sonhar com saltar, como se não houvesse salta-pedras? —Ah, não é nenhuma loucura, mamã! Certamente que se pode fazer com um pouquito de práctica. —Mas filho, não compreendes que isso é como dizer que à força de te regar, poderás algum dia chegar a dar laranjas ou peras? Muelle desviou a cabeça e franziu o nariz, esforçando-se por entender o que a sua mãe lhe queria dizer. Depois, com um sorriso respondeu-lhe: —Tu sabes que não é a mesma coisa, mamã. Em momento algum lhe ocorreu discutir com o seu filho, porque sabia quão teimoso ele conseguia ser. Por isso, continuou a penteá-lo, olhando para a janela, talvez esperando que dali pudesse vir algum tipo de resposta. Como assim não aconteceu, encolheu os ombros, deixando os remoínhos e Muelle como impossíveis. —Anda, querido —disse-lhe—, toma o pequeno-almoço. Tudo isto acontecia numa manhã ensolarada, quando o Inverno já começava a despedir-se de Pedregal. A

Meanwhile, a proper understanding of the gliotic responses of Müller cells in the diseased retina, and of their protective vs. detrimental effects, is essential for the development of efficient therapeutic strategies that use and stimulate the neuron-supportive/-protective - and prevent the destructive - mechanisms of gliosis.

FoxMultimodal Management of Canine Osteoarthritis, Second Edition takes an evidence-based approach to the canine patient with osteoarthritis, pursuing the objective of the best available medicine by a variety of means: multiple drugs, agents, adjuncts and delivery methods.

It is recommended for any small animal veterinary practitioner, as well as researchers and students of the RCVS CertAVP.
Multiple Sequence Alignments: Which Program Fits My Data?
by Theodor SperleaThis book is a practical guide for biologists who use multiple sequence alignments (MSAs) for their data analysis and are looking for a comprehensive overview of the many different programs. Despite their important role in data analysis, there is uncertainty among researchers about exactly how MSA programs work - not to mention how and why the different analyzes lead to different results. Which program is the right one for evaluating my data and how can I ensure that I have drawn all relevant findings from the alignments? This book offers helpful explanations and background information without requiring extensive bioinformatics knowledge and slowly introduces the reader to the topic.In the first part of the book, the possible fields of application as well as the formats that are usually produced by MSA programs are described in detail. The central algorithms as well as the internal processes of the most common MSA programs of the past and the present are also explained in an uncomplicated manner in greater detail. The second part of the book is a detailed, data-based comparison between MSA programs, which is intended to help you decide which program to use for your next alignment.
