  • Sandy Beach Morphodynamics

    • 1st Edition
    • Derek Jackson + 1 more
    • English
    Sandy beaches represent some of the most dynamic environments on Earth and examining their morphodynamic behaviour over different temporal and spatial scales is challenging, relying on multidisciplinary approaches and techniques. Sandy Beach Morphodynamics brings together the latest research on beach systems and their morphodynamics and the ways in which they are studied in 29 chapters that review the full spectrum of beach morphodynamics. The chapters are written by leading experts in the field and provide introductory level understanding of physical processes and resulting landforms, along with more advanced discussions.

  • Environmental Metabolomics

    Applications in field and laboratory studies to understand from exposome to metabolome
    • 1st Edition
    • Diana Alvarez-Munoz + 1 more
    • English
    Environmental Metabolomics Applications in Field and Laboratory Studies: From the Exposome to the Metabolome presents an overview of the current state of aquatic environments and problems caused by human pressure and daily life. The presence of contaminants in nature and their effects are evaluated, along with recommendations for preservation. This book not only shows readers how to implement techniques, it also guides them through the process. As metabolomics becomes a more routine technique for environmental studies and future perspectives, a guide for validation and globalization of current approaches is needed.

  • Rotational Structure in Molecular Infrared Spectra

    • 2nd Edition
    • Carlo di Lauro
    • English
    Rotational Structure in Molecular Infrared Spectra, Second Edition, fills the gap between these complex topics and the most elementary methods in the field of rotational structure in the infrared spectra of gaseous molecules. Combining foundational theoretical information with advanced applications, this book is a useful guide for all those involved in the application of molecular spectroscopic techniques and the interpretation of vibration-rotation spectra. Interpreting vibration-rotation spectra is an important skill in many scientific disciplines, ranging from nanochemistry to planetary research, hence this book is an ideal resource.

    • English
    Chemistry of Nanomaterials: Fundamentals and Applications provides a foundational introduction to this chemistry. Beginning with an introduction to the field of nanoscience and technology, the book goes on to outline a whole range of important effects, interactions and properties. Tools used to assess such properties are discussed, followed by chapters putting this fundamental knowledge in context by providing examples of nanomaterials and their applications in the real world. Drawing on the experience of its expert authors, this book is an accessible introduction to the interactions at play in nanomaterials for both upper-level students and researchers.

  • Process Industry Economics

    Principles, Concepts and Applications
    • 2nd Edition
    • David Brennan
    • English
    Process Industry Economics: Principles, Concepts and Applications, Second Edition, explores the fundamentals of market evaluation, capital and operating cost estimation, and profitability evaluation, along with their implications for process technology evaluation, project development and investment decisions. Sections cover time dependent technology evolution in process plants, including scale development, performance improvement in new and operating plants, and learning related to environmental, safety and sustainability assessments. Influences on capital investment decisions, including capacity planning and environmental considerations are explored and supported by case studies. Finally, the aspects of overall industry performance and drivers are discussed.

  • New and Future Developments in Microbial Biotechnology and Bioengineering

    Trends of Microbial Biotechnology for Sustainable Agriculture and Biomedicine Systems: Diversity and Functional Perspectives
    • 1st Edition
    • Ali Asghar Rastegari + 2 more
    • English
    New and Future Developments in Microbial Biotechnology and Bioengineering: Trends of Microbial Biotechnology for Sustainable Agriculture and Biomedicine Systems: Diversity and Functional Perspectives describes how specific techniques can be used to generalize the metabolism of bacteria that optimize biologic improvement strategies and bio-transport processes. Microbial biotechnology focuses on microbes of agricultural, environmental, industrial, and clinical significance. This volume discusses several methods based on molecular genetics, systems, and biology of synthetic, genomic, proteomic, and metagenomics. Recent developments in our understanding of the role of microbes in sustainable agriculture and biotechnology have created a highly potential research area. The soil and plant microbiomes have a significant role in plant growth promotion, crop yield, soil health and fertility for sustainable developments. The microbes provide nutrients and stimulate plant growth through different mechanisms, including solubilization of phosphorus, potassium, and zinc; biological nitrogen fixation; production of siderophore, ammonia, HCN and other secondary metabolites which are antagonistic against pathogenic microbes. This new book provides an indispensable reference source for engineers/bioenginee... biochemists, biotechnologists, microbiologists, agrochemists, and researchers who want to know about the unique properties of this microbe and explore its sustainable agriculture future applications.

  • Lo esencial en pediatría

    • Anna Rodgers + 1 more
    • Spanish
    Los Cursos Crash, escritos por médicos noveles y revisados por un equipo de asesores universitarios, contiene la información imprescindible para el repaso de cada asignatura en un formato manejable. La nueva edición de Lo esencial en PEdiatría se ha reestructurado respecto a las ediciones previas para combinar los capítulos que antes se ocupaban de sistemas corporales individuales con sus aspectos clínicos relevantes, incluidos la anamnesis, la exploración y el proceso patológico. Esta edición sigue presentando un enfoque práctico de la pediatría mediante el uso de cuadros de apuntes y sugerencias. Se han añadido nuevos cuadros, como lo de alerta, comunicación y aspectos éticos, con la esperanza de que sean de utilidad para la práctica clínica como para los exámenes. La sección de autoevaluación se ha actualizado y ahora incluye preguntas que comtemplan la evaluación clínica objetiva estructurada (ECOE).
