    Emerging Phytosynthesized Nanomaterials for Biomedical Applications provides readers with an increased understanding of the efficacy of phytochemicals obtained from plant extracts for the synthesis of nanomaterials, mechanism of formation, and the development of functional composites, all while still minimizing toxicity to humans and the environment. The book presents various novel biomedical applications of phytosynthesized nanomaterials for cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular treatment, drug delivery, antimicrobial agents, orthopedics, and biosensors, as well as pharmaceutical product development. This is an important reference source for biomaterials scientists and plant scientists looking to increase their understanding of how photosynthesized nanomaterials can be used in biomedical applications.

  • Dynamics of Plate Tectonics and Mantle Convection

    • 1st Edition
    • Joao C. Duarte
    • English
    Dynamics of Plate Tectonics and Mantle Convection, written by specialists in the field, gathers state-of-the-art perspectives on the dynamics of plate tectonics and mantle convection. Plate tectonics is a unifying theory of solid Earth sciences. In its initial form, it was a kinematic theory that described how the planet’s surface is fragmented into several rigid lithospheric plates that move in relation to each other over the less viscous asthenosphere. Plate tectonics soon evolved to describe the forces that drive and resist plate movements. The Earth sciences community is now developing a new perspective that looks at plate tectonics and mantle convection as part of a single system. Why does our planet have plate tectonics, and how does it work? How does mantle convection drive the supercontinent cycle? How have tectono-convective modes evolved over the Earth’s history? How did they shape the planet and impact life? Do other planets have mantle convection and tectonics? These are some of the fascinating questions explored in this book. This book started with a challenge from the editor to the authors to provide perspectives from their vantage point and open the curtain to the endeavors and stories behind the science.

  • Sustainable and Circular Management of Resources and Waste Towards a Green Deal

    • 1st Edition
    • Marzena Smol + 1 more
    • English
    Sustainable and Circular Management of Resources and Waste Towards a Green Deal highlights the importance of resource recovery, phosphorus management, climate action, clean energy transition, and a circular economy. The world is facing significant challenges, including climate disruption, environmental changes, pollution, and population explosion. Sustainable management of finite natural resources within the carrying capacity of the bio-geo-hydrosphere is the crux of transforming the global economy for a sustainable future. Moreover, keeping raw materials in circulation as long as possible and minimizing the amount of waste generated has grown in significance as a part of transitioning to a circular economy (CE) model.
