Strategic Perspectives in Solid Waste and Wastewater Management explores conventional and advanced biotechnologies for waste management, including socio-economic aspects, techno-economic feasibility, models and modeling tools, and a detailed life-cycle assessment approach in solid waste (SW) and wastewater (WW). These innovative technologies are highly applicable to current real-world situations. The enormous increase in the quantum and diversity of SW and WW - including waste materials generated due to human activity and their potentially harmful effects on the environment and public health - have led to increasing awareness about an urgent need to adopt novel technologies for appropriate management of both SW and WW. While there is an obvious need to minimize the generation of wastes and to reuse and recycle them, the technologies for managing such wastes can play a vital role in mitigating problems. Besides recovery of substantial energy, these technologies can lead to a considerable reduction in the overall waste quantities requiring final disposal, which can be better managed for safe disposal in a controlled manner while meeting pollution control standards.

Current Developments in Biotechnology and Bioengineering: Waste Treatment Processes for Energy Generation provides extensive research on the role of waste management processes/technologies for energy generation. The enormous increase of waste materials generated by human activity and its potentially harmful effects on the environment and public health have led to an increasing awareness of an urgent need to adopt scientific methods for the safe disposal of wastes. This book outlines the basic knowledge, processes and technologies for the generation of energy from waste and functions as an important reference for academics and practitioners at varying levels of interest and knowledge. The book's content encompasses all issues for energy recovery from waste in a very clear and simple manner, acting as a comprehensive resource for anyone seeking an understanding on the topic.

The surgeries of anal fistula have a disagreeable reputation for subsequent recurrences fecal soiling, imperfect controls of flatus, difficulties of wound healing, more hospitalization etc. Man always strives for the best that is why the advancements and research has become a continuous process. Today, not only medical fraternity but common man also wants to verify the ancient claims which are time tested since centuries, on present day available scientific parameters. Kshara and Ksharasutra will definitely play a key role in the development of surgical procedure in ano-rectal diseases. Ksharasutra is a unique and an established procedure for difficult surgical diseases. It has brought revolution in the Indian system of surgery. Ksharasutra ligation therapy in the management of Fistula in ano has proved boon for the humanity. It effectively substitutes the modern surgical procedure.
