  • Epigenetics of Heart Failure, An issue of Heart Failure Clinics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 22-1
    • Ragavendra R. Baliga
    • English
    In this issue of Heart Failure Clinics, guest editor Dr. Ragavendra R. Baliga brings his considerable expertise to the topic of Epigenetics of Heart Failure. Top experts in the field explore how chemical modifications to DNA and histones influence gene expression without altering the genetic code, contributing to the development and progression of heart failure. Factors such as DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNAs can regulate key pathways involved in cardiac remodeling, inflammation, and fibrosis. Environmental influences like diet, stress, and toxins can also impact these epigenetic changes, potentially worsening heart function. Understanding these mechanisms may lead to novel therapeutic targets for preventing or treating heart failure at the molecular level.

    Advanced Grid Technologies: Grid Evolution, Smart Grid Fundamentals, and Renewable Energy Integration, Volume One provides a coherent, practical introduction to the innovative, modern techniques required to integrate renewable energy into power grids. The book focuses on the basic history of the grid, fundamental aspects of grid management, and the challenges set by renewable integration. It begins by outlining the history of the modern energy grid before providing a comprehensive overview of renewable energy sources, the challenges their use present for typical energy grids, and the fundamentals of modern smart adaptations.Specific major challenges are broken down into fundamentals, including electric vehicles and vehicle-to-grid, energy storage, intelligent electronic device-based substations, and demand forecasting for energy stability. Including a variety of numerical examples and working from early principles for each topic, this book provides late-stage undergraduate and graduate students in energy systems and power engineering, as well as engineers working to modernize the power grid, with a fundamental resource for renewable energy integration.

  • Water-Stable Metal-Organic Frameworks (WSMOFs)

    • 1st Edition
    • Lei Guo + 3 more
    • English
    Water-Stable Metal-Organic Frameworks (WSMOFs) presents water-stable metal-organic frameworks for mitigating environmental pollutants, i.e. sensing and degradation/removal applications to protect the ecological system, both environmental and aquatic life, from various types of toxic pollutants released from industries. The pressing challenge of extracting common pollutants, including heavy metal ions, anions, oil, and radionuclides from water sources is a critical issue due to the widespread problem of environmental contamination. Various approaches have been explored for this purpose, such as sorbents, chemical precipitation, and traditional membrane separation. However, these methods often suffer from inadequate selectivity and low pollutant uptake.Developing water-stable MOFs is the key to advancing effective water purification techniques, but the primary challenge lies in crafting MOF structures that can maintain their stability when exposed to water.
