Algal and phycology-based approaches for wastewater treatment have recently gained interest. Phycology-Based Approaches for Wastewater Treatment and Resource Recovery highlights advanced algal-based technologies developed or being considered for wastewater treatment along with the opportunities that existing technologies can provide at an industrial scale. It covers recent findings on algal-based approaches for the removal of heavy metals, organic pollutants, and other toxicities from sewage and industrial effluents and supplies in-depth analysis on technologies such as biosorption and bioaccumulations. Advanced mathematical modeling approaches to understand waste removal and resource recove...
DNA replication is a key event in the cell cycle. Although our knowledge is far from complete and many elusive regulatory mechanisms still remain beyondour grasp, many enzymes and a multiplicity of biochemical mechanisms involved have been discovered. Recent findings in E. coli have confirmed and yet surpassed the original hypothesis of F. Jacob. In yeast and higher eucaryotes, the apparent redundancy in putative origins and initiators has made an estimation of the importance of each identified element difficult to access. In spite of well established methodologies - which are also described in the book - the origin identification in mammalian chromosomes is still a controversial subject. On the other hand, considerable advances have been made in our understanding of virus DNA replication and this continues to deepen and broaden our understanding of the controls of cellular DNA replication.
This book discusses the macromolecular characterization of hydrocarbon components and their industrial applications for sustainable future development. It provides efficient integrated solutions and feasible industrial applications for sustainable cleaner and greener future. The book covers recent trends in the use of hydrocarbons such as crude oil, coal and shale, biomass and other carbon materials. Various topics covered in this book include challenges in mature field redevelopment, enhanced oil recovery, optical characteristics of petroleum crudes-surfactants-brine solutions, challenges and issues in processing hydrocarbons, 'coal for future cleaner fuel and chemicals' and 'biomass for fuels and chemicals'. The book is useful for the researchers and professionals working in the area of petroleum engineering.
This new volume aims to find real-world solutions to present-day problems by using IoT and related technologies. It explores the myriad applications of the Internet of Things in diverse areas—in healthcare, the construction industry, in wildlife monitoring, in home security systems, in agriculture, in cryptology, in hospitality employment, in data security, and more. The chapters illustrate the defining aspects of architecture, product design, modules, interfaces, and data for building systems that satisfy specified requirements of the IoT applications discussed. The authors show the novel results that present solutions to meet the ever-increasing demand of industries.
This book highlights the impact of climate change on the soil microbiome and its subsequent effects on plant health, soil-plant dynamics, and the ecosphere. It also discusses emerging ideas to counteract these effects, e.g., through agricultural applications of functional microbes, to ensure a sustainable ecosystem. Climate change is altering the soil microbiome distributions and thus the interactions in microbiome and plant‐soil microorganism. Improvement of our understanding of microbe-microbe and plant-microbe interaction under changing climatic conditions is essential, because the overall impact of these interactions under varying adverse environmental conditions is lacking. This book ...
Overtourism occurs when destinations face excessive visitor numbers, leading to environmental harm, cultural erosion, and strain on local resources. Natural sites like Maya Bay and the Great Barrier Reef have suffered damage, while cities like Venice and Barcelona face overcrowding, rising costs, and displacement of residents. The phenomenon is fueled by globalization, social media, and budget travel, leaving many destinations unprepared for surging tourist numbers. Addressing overtourism requires sustainable practices, such as visitor caps, education campaigns, and dispersing tourists to lesser-known areas, alongside government regulation and community involvement. By prioritizing collabora...
In the context of climate change, pollution and food safety, the current challenge is to enhance legumes production to sustain the growing population needs by 2050. This is a daunting task because abiotic and biotic stresses are threatening the growth, survival and productivity of legumes. For instance, the productivity of legumes is documented to be reduced by 14-88% by abiotic stresses. The co-occurrence of abiotic and biotic stresses under field conditions leads to interactive stress types, thus yielding positive or negative outcomes. Legumes react using antioxidant defense, osmoregulatory adjustments, hormonal regulations and molecular mechanisms to tolerate stress. Hence, improving legume productivity requires knowledge on the sensitivity, mechanisms and approaches of stress tolerance in legumes, in order to design new crops and alternative management systems. This book presents advances on bioactive compounds, applications, effect of various stresses and biotechnology-based stress tolerance mechanisms of legumes. This is our second volume on Legume Agriculture and Biotechnology, published in the series Sustainable Agriculture Reviews.
"Akashvani" (English) is a programme journal of ALL INDIA RADIO, it was formerly known as The Indian Listener. It used to serve the listener as a bradshaw of broadcasting ,and give listener the useful information in an interesting manner about programmes, who writes them, take part in them and produce them along with photographs of performing artists. It also contains the information of major changes in the policy and service of the organisation. The Indian Listener (fortnightly programme journal of AIR in English) published by The Indian State Broadcasting Service, Bombay, started on 22 December, 1935 and was the successor to the Indian Radio Times in English, which was published beginning ...
Diploma Thesis from the year 2003 in the subject Biology - Micro- and Molecular Biology, grade: 1 (A), University of Innsbruck (Institute for Microbiology), language: English, abstract: In 1885 Theodor Escherich described the gram negative bacterium Escherichia coli (E. coli) (Escherich T., Rev.1989). The gram negative rod belongs to the family of the enterobacteriaceae. It is a natural inhabitant of the human and animal intestine. E. coli can also cause diseases like diarrhea, inflammation of the urinary tract or the gall bladder. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common reasons for antibiotic therapy worldwide (Burman and Olsson-Liljequist, 2001). People with UTIs suffer ...
