This book provides updated and comprehensive information on the
effective functioning of earthworms used alone or in combination
with other biological systems/microbes, as well as factors
affecting the process and performance of vermiremediation under a
range of conditions. It also compares earthworm assisted
vermifiltration with other conventional biochemical methods.
Presenting cutting-edge research on the earthworm assisted
remediation of industrial and municipal effluents and sludges,
along with its role in solid waste management (SWM), the book will
benefit readers from the research community and industrial sector
alike, familiarizing them with the latest remediation techniques
for wastewater and different types of solid waste.

Earthworm Technology in Organic Waste Management: Recent Trends and
Advances is a suitable contribution to the Waste and The
Environment: Underlying Burdens And Management Strategies series
that will be helpful in classifying and broadly addressing
assessments, mitigation strategies, and the management of organic
wastes using earthworms. In addition, the book provides a summary
of the latest findings on emerging pollution-related issues, their
sustainable management, and future perspectives. The book covers
recent trends and developments in organic waste management,
including the use of earthworms in municipal and industrial waste
management, the role of earthworms in vermifiltration/vermiwash,
and of vermicompost in crops. Finally, the book covers the
potential of earthworms in the remediation of emerging
contaminants. This includes antibiotic resistance genes, heavy
metals, pesticides, microplastics, and other emerging pollutants
that are not covered in-depth in previously published titles.
This book is based on the authors' research and microgrid projects
since 2009, and is the most up-to-date resource on the development
of microgrid technologies. In addition to basic facility and
network design concepts, it covers related subjects including power
supply programming and energy optimization, which means it can
serve as a single volume reference to the complete microgrid system
implementation.
The Monte Carlo library Least-Squares (MCLLS) approach essentially
consists of using Monte Carlo simulation to generate the libraries
of all the elements to be analyzed plus any other required
background libraries, which are then used in the linear library
least-squares (LLS) approach with unknown measured sample spectra
to analyze for all elements in the sample. Iterations of this are
used until the LLS values agree with the composition used to
generate the libraries. The components of this method include: (1)
the Monte Carlo codes such as CEARXRF for forward generation of the
necessary elemental library spectra for the LLS calculation for
X-ray fluorescence (2) generation of detector response functions
(DRF) for detectors with linear and non-linear responses for Monte
Carlo simulation of pulse-height spectra; and (3) the use of the
differential operator (DO) technique to make the necessary
iterations for non-linear responses practical. In addition,
coincidence spectra can also be used in the MCLLS approach and may
provide more accurate results. The author of this book provides the
answers to the above problems and a graphical user interface
program to accomplish the tasks.
