New Frontiers in Environmental Toxicology
This volume provides up-to-date information on toxic pollutants in the environment and their harmful effects on human health and nature. The book covers many important aspects of environmental toxicology, such as features, characterization, applications, environmental routes for dispersion, nanotoxicity, ecotoxicity and genotoxicity of nanomaterials, with emphasis on radiation toxicology, polar ecotoxicology, plastic toxicology, microbrial toxicology, nanotoxicology and pesticide toxicology. Also discussed is the use of microbes and nanotechnology for medicinal purposes, which has revealed important chemical prototypes in the discovery of new agents, stimulating the use of refined physical techniques and new syntheses of molecules with pharmaceutical applications for human welfare. The chapters also address the fate of nanoparticles in the environment, as well as nanotoxicology mechanisms impacting human health. The book will be of interest to toxicologists, environmental scientists, chemists, and students of microbiology, nanotechnology and pharmacology.
The Role of Nanoparticles in Plant Nutrition under Soil Pollution
Nanotechnology has shown great potential in all spheres of life. With the increasing pressure to meet the food demands of rapidly increasing population, thus, novel innovation and research are required in agriculture. The principles of nanotechnology can be implemented to meet the challenges faced by agricultural demands. Major challenges include the loss of nutrients in the soil and nutrient-deficient plants, which result in a lower crop yield and quality. Subsequently, consumption of such crops leads to malnourishment in humans, especially in underprivileged and rural populations. One convenient approach to tackle nutrient deficiency in plants is via the use of fertilizers; however, this m...
Advances in Engineering Materials
This book presents select proceedings of the International Conference on Future Learning Aspects of Mechanical Engineering (FLAME 2020). This book, in particular, focuses on characterizing materials using novel techniques. It covers a variety of advanced materials, viz. composites, coatings, nanomaterials, materials for fuel cells, biomaterials among others. The book also discusses advanced characterization techniques like X-ray photoelectron, UV spectroscopy, scanning electron, atomic power, transmission electron and laser confocal scanning fluorescence microscopy, and gel electrophoresis chromatography. This book gives the readers an insight into advanced material processes and characterizations with special emphasis on nanotechnology.
Growth Driven Testing
Not very often people challenge the definition of testing and even if they do, it ends up being theory. Here is an experience report, documented with evidence on what it takes to use testing to drive growth for customers. An outcome of a thousand people of Moolya and hundreds of customers coming together and providing the most compelling evidence to reinvent testing. A powerful (and honest) book for Product Owners, Tech Leaders, Testers, Automation Engineers to build a culture of growth driven testing and leadership that enables this culture to succeed.
Anaerobes and Methanogens
The book presents the complex realm of anaerobes and methanogens, which are microorganisms specialized in surviving in environments with very little or no oxygen. Anaerobes and methanogens play a vital role in many ecosystems ranging from the deep oceans to the human gut. The book describes the processes neighboring anaerobes and methanogens undergo to survive in environments, low to no oxygen, through their metabolic processes, genetic capabilities, and physiology. The book elaborates on the role of anaerobes in biogeochemical cycles, human health, and industrial processes. If it is biogas production or degradation of organic matter, anaerobic and methanogenic microorganisms play an important role in the ecosystem within our planet. The book shows a valuable perspective on anaerobes and methanogens and their important role in environments that are vital for life on Earth.
Inventive Systems and Control
This book presents selected papers from the 5th International Conference on Inventive Systems and Control (ICISC 2021), held on 7–8 January 2021 at JCT College of Engineering and Technology, Coimbatore, India. The book includes an analysis of the class of intelligent systems and control techniques that utilises various artificial intelligence technologies, where there are no mathematical models and systems available to make them remain controlled. Inspired by various existing intelligent techniques, the primary goal is to present the emerging innovative models to tackle the challenges faced by the existing computing and communication technologies. The proceedings of ICISC 2021 aim at presenting the state-of-the-art research developments, trends, and solutions for the challenges faced by the intelligent systems and control community with the real-world applications. The included research articles feature the novel and unpublished research works on intelligent system representation and control.
Emerging Contaminants
Emerging Contaminants: Sustainable Agriculture and the Environment provides a thorough, comprehensive, and interdisciplinary overview of the many categories of emerging pollutants, including pharmaceuticals, insecticides, personal care items, and industrial chemicals that are currently impacting the environment. With insights into the exposure associated consequences on crops and edible plants, the book is designed to enable foundational understanding as the basis for future research, as well as practical application in current environments. Following an introduction to environmental contaminants, the book goes on to discuss their fate in soils, the most up-to-date analytical methods for det...
Paradigms in Pollution Prevention
Featuring a collection of informative and descriptive chapters, this book is essential reading for environmental scientists, environmental toxicologists and people from allied fields. The research and its outcomes presented here focus on pollution prevention approaches, clean technologies and toxic use reduction that has the potential for eliminating worker exposure to health risks; and creates healthy and sustainable ecosystems. Readers will discover ways to incorporate prevention in the design of industrial processes that help to eliminate harmful environmental effects while promoting the competitiveness of industries. Issues such as biological control agents for sustainable urban agricult...
