Medicinal and aromatic plants have been used for medicinal and therapeutic purposes for centuries, and modern medicine recognizes the health benefits of these plants. The book covers the methods to obtain drugs from medicinal and aromatic plants, the challenges encountered in growing them and stress factors effects. It presents edible and toxic medicinal and aromatic plants and gives information on pharmaceutical, cosmetic and aromatherapy uses.
This book provides an excellent platform for understanding the chemical processes involved in food transformation. Starting with the examination of major food components, such as water, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and minerals, the author further introduces the biochemistry of digestion and energy metabolism of food ingredients. The last section of the book is devoted to modern food technologies and their future perspectives.
Drug repurposing, or drug repositioning, or reprofiling, has emerged as a valid approach in modern drug discovery. The book describes tools and techniques for identifying new therapeutic potentials for existing drugs and covers the repurposing of drugs from synthetic and natural origin. It compares the costs of drug repurposing with traditional drug discovery and discusses challenges and future perspectives of drug repurposing.
Computational Modeling and Simulations for Designing of Corrosion Inhibitors: Fundamentals and Realistic Applications offers a collection of major advancements in the field of computational modeling for the design and testing of corrosion inhibition effectiveness of organic corrosion inhibitors. This guide presents the latest developments in molecular modeling of organic compounds using computational software, which has emerged as a powerful approach for theoretical determination of corrosion inhibition potentials of organic compounds. The book covers common techniques involved in theoretical studies of corrosion inhibition potentials, and mechanisms such as density functional theory, molecu...
This book covers recent advances in the method used in testing, especially in the case of structural integrity that includes fatigue and fracture tests, vibrations test and surface engineering tests that are extremely crucial and widely used by engineers and industries. The book will provide you with information on how to apply the advanced formulation, advanced theory and advanced method of testing that are relevant to all engineering fields: mechanical, electrical, civil, materials and surface engineering. The topics are explained comprehensively, including the reliable test that one should perform in order to effectively investigate the strength and validation of the developed theory or model. I hope that the material is not too theoretical and that the reader finds the case study, formulation, testing method and the analysis helpful for tackling their own engineering and science based studies.
Recently, surface-engineered and modified nanomaterials have been developed as corrosion inhibitors for different metals alloys in coating and solution phases. This book covers current emerging trends and applications in nanomaterials and nanotechnologies and their applications in corrosion prevention. It offers synthesis, surface modification for enhanced dispersibility and protection, composite formation and their anticorrosive applications.
Bioremediation of Environmental Toxicants: Toxicants, Sources, Mechanism, Impact on Human Health, and Bioremediation Approaches provides insight into the nature of environmental toxicants, the impact on human health, and their bioremediation approaches, viz. nanotechnology, microorganism, and phytoremediation. Various environmental toxicants such as pesticides, heavy metals, plastic and microplastic waste, dyes used in industries, colorants, corrosive agents, and biomedical waste show different levels of mechanism of toxicity, possessing a significant threat to human health as well as the stability of ecosystems. To decontaminate the environment from these toxic compounds a low-cost effectiv...
This book discusses the sustainable management and conversion of food waste into various resources through biological resource recovery techniques. An overview is given of the present challenges facing food waste management, why food waste reduction in general is a pressing issue, and the current treatment methods for food waste to minimize adverse environmental and human health impacts. The majority of the chapters then discuss sustainable methods for converting food waste into resources such as fermentation, vermicomposting, nutrient recycling, pyrolysis, biochar, and microbial decomposition, with the goal of sustainably producing biogas, fertilizer, animal feed, and other resources. The primary audience of the book is researchers working in the field of waste management. It will also interest NGOs, industrial engineers, and policymakers looking for methods to prevent and manage food waste.
