it is clear that there is an acute and increasing need to address and discuss in an integrated forum the implied software and system issues as well as methodological, semantical, theoretical and application issues. As we all know, e-mail, the Internet, and even video conferences are not sufficient for effective and efficient scientific exchange. This is why the OnTheMove (OTM) Federated Conferences series has been created to cover the increasingly wide yet closely connected range of fundamental technologies such as data and Web Semantics.

On Bypass : Advanced Perfusion Techniques

With the introduction of cardiac surgery more than five decades ago and the use of the heart-lung machine for open heart surgical procedures granting the surgeon unlimited time in which to operate inside the heart, a complex task has been given to the Perfusionist. With a pairing of a perfusionist and a surgeon for each chapter, On Bypass: Advanced Perfusion Techniques is an essential collection of techniques and protocols to aid in the difficult and immediate decision making in the operating room. Among the topics covered in this comprehensive text are pediatric perfusion techniques for complex congenital, separation from cardiopumonary bypass, blood flow during cardiopumonary bypass, and minimally invasive perfusion techniques. Also covered is ultrafiltration in cardiac surgery, echocardiography and cardiopulmonary bypass, and advances in long-term pulmonary support.

New approach to deal with fibromyalgia

You must have walked once among the colorful fields of flowers, enjoying their colors, aromas and touches, but have you ever thought that these beautiful creatures could contain many constituents that have healing properties and be one day a part of your therapy ! Aromatherapy is a holistic healing treatment that uses natural plant extracts to promote health and well-being; it is used in the management of many diseases including a very common syndrome nowadays: Acute or chronic stress/ pain in localized body spots may trigger or aggravate symptoms knowon as fibromyalgia (FM). In this research we're going to discuss this syndrome which is very widespread, but rarely well-diagnosed and associated with many complex and unclear mechanisms. A new approach to deal with FM will be introduced to you subsequently.

New and Old Routes of Portuguese Emigration : Uncertain Futures at the Periphery of Europe

This book offers a comparative overview on Portuguese emigration in Europe and outside the EU in times of recession. In addition to the dynamics of movement, the book provides an in-depth analysis of the heterogeneity of this emigration. It deepens the multifaceted identities concerning social and professional pathways among highly skilled and less skilled emigrants. The labour market continues to be the main regulatory force of Portuguese emigration, which helps to explain the outflow and the processes of settlement and return. Nonetheless, this book demonstrates that non-economic factors have likewise been of great importance in the decision to emigrate.
