    • English
    Advanced Nanomaterials and Nanocomposites for Bioelectrochemical Systems covers advancements in nanomaterial and nanocomposite applications for microbial fuel cells. One of the advantages of using microbial fuel cells is the simultaneous treatment of wastewater and the generation of electricity from complex organic waste and biomass, which demonstrates that microbial fuel cells are an active area of frontier research. The addition of microorganisms is essential to enhance the reaction kinetics. This type of fuel cell helps to convert complex organic waste into useful energy through the metabolic activity of microorganisms, thereby generating energy. By incorporating nano-scale fillers into the nanocomposite matrix, the performance of the anode material can be improved. This is an important reference source for materials scientists and engineers who want to learn more about how nanotechnology is being used to create more efficient fuel cells.

  • Polyoxometalate-Based Hybrids and their Applications

    • 1st Edition
    • Majid M. Heravi + 1 more
    • English
    Polyoxometalate-Base... Hybrids and their Applications focuses on recent progress in polyoxometalate-base... hybrids materials. Chapters present the structure, composition, classification and properties of POMs such as isopolyaions, heteropolyanions, giant and lacunary polyoxometalates and then cover polyoxometalate-base... open-frameworks (POM-OFs), include a historical introduction to these compounds, and present their synthetic strategies. The structural diversity and relative applications of POM-OFs is also covered. Other sections delve into synthetic strategies, structural diversity and relative applications of porous polyoxometalate-base... metal-organic frameworks. Polyoxometalate-base... coordination polymers (POMCPs) and polyoxometalate-base... host-guest framework materials are highlighted in final sections. This book is an essential reference for inorganic chemists, biochemists, and material scientists working in academia and industry.

  • Communication in Midwifery

    Theory and Practice
    • 1st Edition
    • Tania Staras
    • English
    Kind, honest and open communication is at the heart of midwifery care and maternity practice, and is vital in providing safe, person-centred care.This new book explores communication in midwifery from a range of perspectives and across different settings. It considers the theoretical and practical dimensions of communication, including how and why we communicate and who we communicate with. It uses case studies and practical examples to put ideas into real-world context and to explore topic areas in ways which are thought-provoking, accessible and useful to practitioners.Above all, Communication in Midwifery supports midwives in developing their theoretical understanding around communication and building a practical toolkit of ideas and strategies for use in a range of settings and with diverse groups of people. It helps midwives and other caregivers in navigating the nuanced and complex situations they encounter every day where clear, honest and collaborative communication is vital.

  • Contaminants of Emerging Concern in the Marine Environment

    Current Challenges in Marine Pollution
    • 1st Edition
    • Victor M. Leon + 1 more
    • English
    Contaminants of emerging concern in the marine environment: current challenges in marine pollution reviews the available data in relation to contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in the marine environment: main sources, transport pathways, distribution in seawater and sediments, bioaccumulation, and biological effects. Each chapter recaps the most relevant information about the main groups of CECs, describing the particularities and specificities of each group and focusing on the most relevant individual contaminants. CECs are not regulated substances, and therefore not considered in national and international monitoring programs, even though they may have a potential impact on the environment due to their continuous input, relative persistence, and/or toxicity. CECs are relevant not only in continental and coastal areas close to their main sources, but also in the open sea, because some of them are likely to be transported long distances through air deposition or absorbed into particulate material. The persistence of many degradable substances in the marine environment increases when they are absorbed into particulate material/sediments and/or when they are subjected to anaerobic conditions that slow down the degradation kinetic of many contaminants. Bioaccumulation of several CECs has been confirmed in different coastal organisms; however, in general, the information available (species and trophic levels considered) is very limited because most studies are mainly focused on specific coastal areas. This book offers useful information about not regulated contaminants that are not considered in international monitoring programs but have potential impacts in coastal and open-sea areas. Therefore reading the book will allow them to improve their view about the real impact of current-use contaminants in the marine environment.
