This book provides an excellent review and analysis of the latest
information on rechargeable Li-S battery research. With a clear and
concise writing style and in-depth technical material, this book
will appeal to undergraduates and graduates, researchers, chemists,
material scientists, and physicists working in the field of energy
storage, especially those with an interest in Li-S battery
technology. IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine shows
lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries give us an alternative to the more
prevalent lithium-ion (Li-ion) versions and are known for their
observed high-energy densities. Systems using Li-S batteries are in
the early stages of development, and commercialization however
could potentially provide higher, safer levels of energy at
significantly lower cost. In this book, the history, scientific
background, challenges, and future perspectives of the
lithium-sulfur system are presented by experts in the field. Focus
is on past and recent advances of each cell compartment responsible
for the performance of the Li-S battery and includes analysis of
characterization tools, new designs, and computational modeling. As
a comprehensive review of the current state of play, it is ideal
for undergraduates, graduate students, researchers, physicists,
chemists, and materials scientists interested in energy storage,
material science, and electrochemistry.
This book provides a comprehensive summary of the recent advances
in the biofortification of plants under climate change and how it
affects food security globally. The need for mineral
biofortification to eradicate or alleviate malnutrition through
sustainable agriculture is also discussed. Biofortification of
edible plants is considered the most appropriate approach to
alleviate nutritional problems and nutrient deficiencies. In
contrast, biofortification focuses on improving the nutritional
content of the region's current agricultural biodiversity while
preserving its habits and customs. Emphasis is also placed on
recent advances and developments in omics, particularly
metabolomics and related techniques, to unravel the potential
alterations in plants caused by biofortification. The book brings
together eminent scientists to present the latest developments in
the field. This timely publication addresses practical scenarios of
bio-fortified food production and climate change. The book focuses
on the methods, techniques, and environmental changes used to
enhance and improve agricultural products. This book is one of the
first to provide information on the use of modern biotechnologies
to modify crops for health benefits. It also examines the
mechanisms of the plant responses to genetically induced
biofortification, the production and responses of fortified plants
under climate change, and their effects on food security. The book
will be useful for students and researchers, especially crop
scientists, environmental scientists, biotechnologists, botanists,
and agronomists, to understand the techniques and mechanisms of
biofortification, and responses of biofortified plants under
climate change.
This book highlights the several pollutants and their derivatives
that exist in water and wastewater, such as pharmaceuticals,
antibiotics, personal care products, heavy metals, pesticides, dyes
etc., as a result of rapid urbanization and industrialization.
Several part pollution is caused by nutrients, organics, and
contaminants with low concentration but is highly toxic to human
and aquatic environment. This book provides a holistic
approach in terms of measurement, monitoring, and recent advances
in treatment technologies for water and wastewater treatment and
water reuse. The technologies involve the physio-chemical,
biological and advanced oxidation processes in which they are
modified or coupled with nanomaterials and/or newly developed
products for improving the performance of the current treatment
processes. In addition, the membrane processes include recent
research on the removal of challenging chemicals by various
membrane bioreactors and reverse osmosis processes.
In Silico Approach Towards Magnetic Fluid Hyperthermia in Cancer
Treatment: Modeling and Simulation presents mathematical modeling
and simulation approaches contrary to costly and time consuming
in-vivo and in-vitro studies. Finite element method-based models of
all hyperthermia processes of liver, brain and breast tumors are
simulated on COMSOL Multiphysics software. Problems of constant
versus variable heat sources, the backflow problem, the enhanced
permeation and retention effect, the flow around Happel's sphere in
cells model structure, the deformation effect in poroelastic brain
tumor, 3D flow through porous tissue, the reacting nanofluid flows,
and optimization of parameters have been simulated for quantitative
analysis. This important reference aids in hyperthermia treatment
planning in clinical applications and provides an important
compendium for practitioners as well as non-medical practicing
scientists and engineers and is resource for both research and
medical practice in hyperthermia treatment planning in clinical
applications.
