    • English
    Environmental Pollution and Public Health: Case Studies on Air, Water and Soil from an Interdisciplinary Perspective provides detailed case studies showing real-world applications of the latest technologies surrounding pollution in air, water and soil. Sections cover the environment and its nexus with public health, highlighting how the health of our environment can invariably influence our public health. Following this, atmospheric pollution is addressed, identifying various air pollutants, methods for identification, impacts on the environment and health, and mitigating technologies. Final sections are dedicated to liquid waste management, focusing on wastewater and treatment options including emerging technologies that are compared to existing options. The book finishes with case studies and information on regulatory frameworks for environmental pollution for those wanting to implement the remediation techniques covered. This is a necessary read for postgraduates, academics, professionals and researchers in environmental science, soil science, environmental health, and waste management who need the latest sustainable remediation practices and case studies and the efficacy of the associated techniques.

  • Manejo Nutricional y Suplementación en Cirugía Bariátrica

    Guía de Práctica Clínica
    • 1st Edition
    • Brenda Ceballos González + 2 more
    • Spanish
    La cirugía bariátrica es actualmente la única opción para tratar de manera eficaz la obesidad mórbida en personas para quienes medidas más conservadoras como la dieta, el ejercicio y la medicación han fracasado. Este tipo de cirugía contribuye además de manera importante a resolver comorbilidades y a mejorar la calidad de vida. Se ha demostrado que, tras una cirugía bariátrica exitosa, los pacientes obtienen beneficios como reducción de la glucemia y de la presión arterial, reducción o eliminación de la apnea del sueño, y reducción de la carga de trabajo del corazón y de los niveles de colesterol. Manejo nutricional y suplementación en cirugía bariátrica. Guía de práctica clínica es un recurso de referencia que abarca todas las áreas del manejo nutricional y la suplementación en cirugía bariátrica, desde la valoración y la preparación preoperatorias del paciente hasta los cuidados postoperatorios. Se trata de la primera obra latinoamericana publicada en español dirigida a los equipos transdisciplinarios que se dedican al manejo quirúrgico de la obesidad, la diabetes y el síndrome metabólico.

  • Prótesis en mano, muñeca y codo

    • 1st Edition
    • Samuel Pajares Cabanillas + 1 more
    • Spanish
    La cirugía de la mano es una especialidad en constante desarrollo. Los avances en la artroplastia de pequeñas articulaciones han mejorado enormemente el tratamiento y los resultados en pacientes con traumatismos, artritis, rigidez e inestabilidad de las articulaciones de la mano y la muñeca. Prótesis en mano, muñeca y codo aborda en profundidad la reconstrucción o sustitución quirúrgica de estas articulaciones. El propósito principal de la obra es poner en conocimiento las distintas técnicas quirúrgicas e implantes protésicos de los que se dispone actualmente, para poder entender y avanzar en este campo. Asimismo, se describe la correcta recuperación funcional, precoz y segura, realizada por fisioterapeutas especializados, y de igual importancia que la propia cirugía.

  • Nanofertilizer Delivery, Effects and Application Methods

    • 1st Edition
    • Kamel A. Abd-Elsalam
    • English
    Nanofertilizer Delivery, Effects and Application Methods explores the science of nutrient nanoformulation, a potential tool toward sustainable and climate-sensitive crops. The book discusses the potential agricultural benefits of nanofertilizers, from coverage of their formulation and delivery, to application, plant uptake, translocation, and destiny, and their overall effect on plant physiology and metabolism. As the widespread use of chemical fertilizers has been shown to causes significant damage to soil structure, mineral cycles, soil microbial flora, plants, and create human health risk, both immediately and for future generations, this book elucidates on the latest findings.According to recent studies, through environmental cues and biological demands, nano-fertilizers can respond to specifical challenges and boost agricultural yield by increasing the rate of seed germination, seedling growth, photosynthetic activity, nitrogen metabolism, and carbohydrate and protein synthesis. This book is ideal for researchers in industry and academia.

  • Synthesis of Aziridines and Oxaziridines from Imines

    • 1st Edition
    • Navjeet Kaur
    • English
    Synthesis of Aziridines and Oxaziridines from Imines describes both new and old methods for the synthesis of aziridines from imines and covers an important and rapidly growing branch of heterocyclic chemistry. Readers will have access to different methods and information allowing them to evaluate which method is most suitable for particular cases. Several important advances in this area have been witnessed in recent years and discovering efficient novel methods for the synthesis of aziridines has been very active field of research. Its powerful synthetic utility has been described by an overpowering amount of documentation on the approaches for the formation of aziridine.The smallest possible saturated azaheterocycle, aziridine, is well-known to organic chemists for its tremendous potential in pharmaceutical chemistry and organic synthesis. The general biological importance of aziridines is proven by the fact that they found several uses as subunits in pharmacologically active compounds such as antitumor agents, enzyme inhibitors, and antibiotics. Although aziridines are highly reactive, this framework occurs in many synthetic compounds and the natural products of biological interest also contain aziridine skeleton in their structures.

  • Fundamentals of Industrial Heat Exchangers

    • English
    Fundamentals of Heat Exchangers: Selection, Design, Construction, and Operation details the design and construction of heat exchangers in both research and industry contexts. This book is split into three parts, firstly outlining the fundamental properties of various types of heat exchangers and the critical decisions surrounding material selection, manufacturing methods, and cleaning options. Other sections provide a comprehensive grounding in the theory and analysis of heat exchangers, guiding the reader through thermal design. Finally, the book shows how to apply industrial codes to this process with detailed demonstrations, designing a shell-and-tube exchanger compliant with important but complex code ASME, Sec. VIII, Div.1. Taking into account the real-world considerations of heat-exchanger design, this book takes a reader from fundamental principles to the mechanical design of heat exchangers for industry or research.
