Sustainable Bioenergy: Advances and Impacts presents a careful
overview of advances and promising innovation in the development of
various bioenergy technologies. It covers the production of bio-jet
fuel, algal biofuels, recent developments in bioprocesses,
nanotechnology applications for energy conversion, the role of
different catalysts in the production of biofuels, and the impacts
of those fuels on society. The book brings together global experts
to form a big picture of cutting-edge research in sustainable
bioenergy and biofuels. It is an ideal resource for researchers,
students, energy analysts and policymakers who will benefit from
the book's overview of impacts and innovative needs.
This book includes an international group of researchers who
present the latest achievements in the field of enzyme, immune
system, and microbial and nano-biosensors. It highlights the
experimental evidence for formation of biological fuel cells
(BFCs)-which has a dual purpose - as a device that produces
electricity and the systems which produce it simultaneously
cleaning up the environment from polluting organic compounds.
Considering the work in the field of macro, micro and
nano-biosensors, considerable attention is paid to the use of
nanomaterials for the modification of working electrodes.
Nanomaterials in some cases can significantly improve the
parameters of analytical systems. Readers will be interested in the
projection of the presented theoretical and experimental materials
in the field of practical application of modern analytical
developments. The presented results in many cases imply the
possibility of using the created models of macro, micro and
nano-biosensors, and biofuel elements in the field of health, and
protection/restoration of the environment. It includes information
about all existing types of transducers of signals in biosensors -
electrochemical, optical and quantum-optics, thermoelectric, data
of atomic force microscopy, piezoelectric, and more. On the basis
of these principles, descriptions are given about the functioning
of macro, micro and nano- biosensors for the detection of compounds
used in medicine, detection of compounds that clog the environment,
and thus affect human health, for compounds that are potentially
the basis for the production of drugs, for the selection of
compounds that have medicinal activity, for immunodetection, and to
assess the quality of food. These questions form the basis of
research carried out in the field of biosensors in the world. Since
the described models of biosensors have high sensitivity, high
measurement speed and selectivity, the described results attract
the attention of both the ordinary reader and business class
specialists who create and implement analytical technologies. This
book is very useful for researchers in life sciences, chemical
sciences, physics, and engineering. In addition, it will be useful
for the persons working in industry. Advanced technologies
specialists will be attracted by the novelty of the proposed
solutions and their relevance and ease of implementation. Since the
studies contain sections describing the parameters of different
biosensors, BFCs, they are easily navigated into assessing the
effectiveness of the practical use of the proposed device. The
relevant sections indicate such characteristics as detection
ranges, life span, type of biological material used, the method of
formation of the bio-receptor part. These parameters are of
interest to both developers of new models of biosensors and BFC,
and their manufacturers.
Focused more specifically on the recent advances in applications of
various metals and their complexes used in biomedicine,
particularly in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic diseases.
The editors give equal importance to other key aspects such as
toxicological issues and safety concerns. The application of metals
in the biomedical field is highly interdisciplinary and has a broad
appeal across all biomedical specialties. Biomedical Applications
of Metals is particularly focused on covering the role of metals in
medicine and the development of novel therapeutic products and
solutions in the form of alternative medicines, and some topics on
Indian traditional medicine i.e., "Ayurveda". In Section I, the
book discusses the role of metals in medicines and include chapters
on nanoparticles, noble metals, medical devices, copper. selenium,
silver, and microbial pathogens; while Section II includes topics
on metals toxicity including heavy metals, carcinogens, cancer
therapy, Bhasma's and chelating agents used in Ayurveda, and
biochemical and molecular targets including actions of metals.
These new and emerging concepts of applications of metals in
medicine, their crucial role in management of microbial resistance,
and their use in the treatment of various chronic diseases is
essential information for toxicologists, and clinical and
biomedical researchers.
Nanotechnology in Agriculture and Agroecosystems presents the
latest research on the role of nanotechnology in agriculture and
agroecosystems, offering innovations and many potential benefits in
terms of plant growth, food production, crop protection and
ecosystem management. Sections introduce new perspectives on the
use of nanotechnology in agroecosystems and sustainable
agriculture. Subsequent chapters focus on specific areas of
innovation, covering a wide range of applications, including plant
disease and protection, food processing and packaging, soil
quality, precision farming, and groundwater treatment. This is a
valuable resource for researchers and advanced students across a
range of disciplines, but it is also ideal for industrial
scientists, engineers and R&D professionals with an interest in
nanotechnology and sustainable technologies for agriculture and
agro-industries.
Nanotechnology for Biorefinery takes an in-depth look at the
emerging role of biotechnology and nanotechnology in biorefinery,
considered to be one of the most important fields of research in
the greener production of high-value products. With chapters
covering the different types of nanomaterials, their properties and
synthesis methods, the role of nanotechnology in biorefinery,
recent advances and challenges, nanobiocatalysts and the
applications of nanotechnology in biorefinery, this book will be of
interest to students and researchers alike. It will assist users in
their quest to develop cost-effective and environmentally-friendly
production methods for various biorefining products.
Pythium is one of the most important phytopathogens causing
significant damage to agriculture, forest, and nurseries, etc. It
is an unseen enemy of the root zone of various plants and hence
considered as "hidden terror" for a number of plants. An accurate
diagnosis and identification of Pythium causing various infections
in plants is very important because it is often confused with
several other fungi. Pythium infections are difficult to control
once they have set in. Therefore, its effective and ecofriendly
management is of paramount importance. In addition, there are many
reports on Pythium causing infections in human beings and animals.
The present book on Pythium focuses on various aspects which mainly
include pathogenesis, technological developments in detection and
diagnosis, and its management. Key Features Includes identification
of Pythium spp. by traditional and molecular methods Deals with
different diseases caused by Pythium spp Describes the role of
Pythium in mammalian diseases Incorporates various management
strategies Discusses emerging role of nanotechnological tools for
the management of Pythium diseases
