This title includes a number of Open Access chapters. Environmental
chemistry is an interdisciplinary field of study that involves the
science of ecology as well as chemistry. Environmental chemistry
covers the basic chemistry and biochemistry that occur naturally in
the world around us. It focuses on the air, water, and land.
Environmental science normally begins by determining the chemical
reactions that are occurring in the environment when all systems
are in balance and then goes on the discover how chemistry has
changed when there is an imbalance caused by stress or pollution.
The field is constantly changing, with new discoveries being made
all the time. The availability of new and more sensitive
instruments in analytical science is enabling the detection of
smaller and smaller concentrations of pollutants in the
environment. This new volume deals with a host of important topics
in environmental chemistry, such as pesticide-related illnesses in
humans and plants, the effects of litterfall in the soil of
tropical forests, toxicants in various bodies of water, and much
more.
This title includes a number of Open Access chapters. Fisheries
management and conservation draws on fisheries science in order to
find ways to protect fishery resources so sustainable exploitation
is possible. Modern fisheries management often involves regulating
when, where, how, and how much fishermen are allowed to harvest to
ensure that there will be fish in the future. This work on
fisheries management and conservation covers a broad array of
chapters on this field of growing importance. It includes chapters
on illegal fishing, recovery of endangered fish, effective
management of fisheries, fish invasions in river systems, selection
of fishing areas, fish invasions, conservation efforts, and much
more.
This title includes a number of Open Access chapters. Environmental
science integrates physical and biological sciences to the study of
the environment, with the goal of solving today's environmental
challenges. Many of these challenges tie into a greater concept of
using the earth's resources sustainably. This collection brings
together some very important advances in environmental science,
including how climate change affects plant disease, how to keep
birds and bats away from wind turbines, disinfecting polluted water
for drinking, how climate policy impacts natural habitats, cancer
risk due to ecological issues, and much more.
This title includes a number of Open Access chapters.
Pharmaceutical technology deals with the discovery, production,
processing, and safe and effective delivery of medications to
patients. Technologies involved include computer modeling for
research, bioengineering for research instrumentation, processes
and methods for increasing production, and computing technology and
biosystematics for the management and analysis of data. This new
book covers a wide range of important topics on today's
pharmaceutical technology, such as in vitro drug release and
controlled drug delivery, the use of nanotechnology in
pharmaceuticals, quantum dot imaging, assessment and efficacy of
pharmaceuticals, and much more.
By showcasing international, European, and community-based
projects, this volume explores how online technologies and
collaborative and blended learning can be used to bolster social
cohesion and increase students' understanding of what it means to
be a global citizen. With the pace of technology rapidly
increasing, Blended and Online Learning for Global Citizenship
draws timely attention to the global lessons being learned from the
impact of these technologies on peace building, community
development, and acceptance of difference. In-depth case studies
showcasing successful projects in Europe, Northern Ireland, and
Israel explore blended learning and illustrate how schools and
educators have embraced online technologies to foster national and
international links both within and beyond communities. This has,
in turn, equipped students with experiences that have informed
their attitudes to cultural and political conflicts, as well as
racial, ethnic, and social diversity. Building on the authors'
previous work Online Learning and Community Cohesion (2013), this
thought-provoking text will be of interest to researchers,
academics, and postgraduate students in the fields of international
and comparative education. Educators and school leaders concerned
with how multiculturalism and technology play out in the classroom
environment will also benefit from reading this text.
This title includes a number of Open Access chapters. A
multidisciplinary subject, the study of fisheries science includes
the biological study of life, habits, and breeding of various
species of fish. It also involves farming and husbandry of
important fishes and aquatic organisms in fresh water, brackish
water and any marine environment. This new book includes a
selection of topics in the field, such as the impact of climate
change on tropical fish, studies on the reproductive and mating
habits of specific fish, hibernation of Antarctic fish, the
molecular makeup of specific fish, and more.
The science of chemistry is so broad that it is normally broken
into fields or branches of specialization. The manufacture of drugs
and dyes is one of the most practical industrial applications of
chemistry. This collection presents the reader with a broad
spectrum of chapters on drugs and dyes, thereby demonstrating key
developments in this rapidly changing field. It examines dyes in
chemical interaction and production of drugs for pharmaceutical use
as well as in forensic work and in the production of materials.
This title includes a number of Open Access chapters. Advances in
biochemistry directly influence medicine and the field of human
health. The field of biochemistry is constantly changing with new
discoveries being made all the time. This new book covers a range
of advances in the field of biochemistry, including new research
techniques and methods, a classification system, new research, and
more.
