      Environmental Materials and Waste: Circular Economy and Pollution Abatement, Second Edition contains the latest information on environmental sustainability as a wide variety of natural resources are increasingly being exploited. The book takes a multidisciplinary approach to fully realize the number of by-products which can be remanufactured, providing the foundation needed across disciplines to tackle this issue. This updated edition includes operational principles of circular economy for sustainable development with reference to environmental waste. Although circular systems are now being implemented, it also emphasizes the importance to properly consider and convert circular economy goals and principles into actions.Circular economy research is discussed in-depth as it has gained considerable momentum in the scientific literature thus far, and both conceptual debates and the creation of useful implementation strategies are still in their infancy. As a whole, this book covers a wide range of issues that must be covered in order to improve environmental sustainability.

      Biotechnological Production of Bioactive Phytochemicals of Medicinal Value: A Comprehensive Treatise covers a broad variety of methods for secondary metabolites production (both pharmaceuticals and cosmeceuticals), compiling state-of-the-art material about the current knowledge of in vitro production for a large number of bioactive phytochemicals. Plants are a source of bioactive compounds and specialty chemicals such as ginsenosides; paclitaxel, artemisinin, veregen and nutraceuticals. Biopharmaceuticals are important in human healthcare, and herbal actives are gaining importance all over the world. With natural resources dwindling, in vitro production of secondary compounds on a commercial scale is being more and more required.Besides providing an alternative technology to bypass difficulties, the plant tissue culture (used in a broad sense to include cell, tissue, and organ culture) offers many advantages. In vitro technology also facilitates novel means of conserving the genetic diversity of the germplasm of medicinal plants through cryopreservation, production of novel compounds through biotransformation, somatic hybridization, and selective gene transfer through recombinant DNA technology for enhancing metabolite production.

      Attitude Takeover Control of Failed Spacecraft is both necessary and urgently required. This book provides an overview of the topic and the role of space robots in handling various types of failed spacecraft. The book divides the means of attitude takeover control into three types, including space manipulator capture, tethered space robot capture, and cellular space robot capture. Spacecraft attitude control is the process of controlling the orientation of a spacecraft (vehicle or satellite) with respect to an inertial frame of reference or another entity such as the celestial sphere, certain fields, and nearby objects, etc.It has become increasingly important: with the increasing number of human space launch activities, the number of failed spacecraft has increased dramatically in recent years.

      Systemic racism profoundly affects the medical education work and learning environment, from the staff and faculty who are the backbone of every medical school, to what and how medical students are taught, who teaches them, and how they are supported and evaluated. Achieving Antiracism in Medical Education addresses the underlying root causes of racism in medical education— its culture, values, and mental models—and offers practical, real-world strategies for transforming its culture instead of merely reacting to crises and solving discrete problems.
