    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.

  • Advances and Technology Development in Greenhouse Gases: Emission, Capture and Conversion

    Advances and Technology Development in Greenhouse Gases: Emission, Capture and Conversion is a comprehensive series that discusses the composition and properties of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and introduces different sources of GHG emission and the relation between GHG and global warming. The comprehensive and detailed presentation of common technologies as well as novel research related to all aspects of GHG makes this work an indispensable encyclopedic resource for researchers in academia and industry. Greenhouse Gases Formation and Challenges primarily introduces the definition of GHGs, as well as their characteristics and properties. This book presents measuring methods for the detection of GHGs and connects GHG emissions with global warming and climate change. This book touches on all aspects concerning the classification of GHGs with their types and features and how they are detected, followed by discussions addressing the connection between GHGs and climate change in different sectors.

  • Synthetic Aperture Radar Image Processing Algorithms for Nonlinear Oceanic Turbulence and Front Modeling

    • Maged Marghany
    • English
    Synthetic Aperture Radar Image Processing Algorithms for Nonlinear Oceanic Turbulence and Front Modelling is both a research and practice-based reference that bridges the gap between the remote sensing field and the dynamic oceanography exploration field. In this perspective, the book explicates how to apply techniques in synthetic aperture radar and quantum interferometry synthetic aperture radar (QInSAR) for oceanic turbulence and front simulation and modeling. It includes detailed algorithms to enable readers to better understand and implement practices covered in their own work and apply QInSAR to their own research.This multidisciplinary reference is useful for researchers and academics in dynamic oceanography and modeling, remote sensing and aquatic science, as well as geographers, geophysicists, and environmental engineers.

  • Gesture Recognition

    Theory and Applications
    • 1st Edition
    • July 9, 2024
    • Qiguang Miao + 3 more
    • English
    Gesture Recognition: Theory and Applications covers this important topic in computer science and language technology that has a goal of interpreting human gestures via mathematical algorithms. The book begins by examining the computer vision-based gesture recognition method, focusing on the theory and related research results of various recent gesture recognition technologies. The book takes the evolutions of gesture recognition technology as a clue, systematically introducing gesture recognition methods based on handcrafted features, convolutional neural networks, recurrent neural networks, multimodal data fusion, and visual attention mechanisms.Three gesture recognition-based HCI (Human Computer Interaction) practical cases are introduced. Finally, the book looks at emerging research trends and application.

  • Genetics and Evolution of Infectious Diseases

    • 3rd Edition
    • July 9, 2024
    • Michel Tibayrenc
    • English
    Genetics and Evolution of Infectious Diseases, Third Edition discusses the evolving field of infectious diseases and their continued impact on the health of populations, especially in resource-limited areas of the world where they must confront the dual burden of death and disability due to infectious and chronic illnesses. Although substantial gains have been made in public health interventions for the treatment, prevention, and control of infectious diseases, in recent decades the world has witnessed the emergence of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and the COVID-19 pandemic, increasing antimicrobial resistance, and the emergence of many new bacterial, fungal, parasitic, and viral pathogens.Fully updated and revised, this new edition presents the consequences of such diseases, the evolution of infectious diseases, the genetics of host-pathogen relationship, and the control and prevention strategies that are, or can be, developed. This book offers valuable information to biomedical researchers, clinicians, public health practitioners, decisions-makers, and students and postgraduates studying infectious diseases, microbiology, medicine, and public health that is relevant to the control and prevention of neglected and emerging worldwide diseases.
