Research and technology developments in bioenergy and biochemical production systems are of the utmost importance for the development of next generation, highly efficient biomass conversion concepts, maximizing the total energy and chemical output. The utilization of non-conventional biomasses and unexploited residual resources (e.g., agriculture and agroindustry wastes), innovative solutions f…
Momok populisme' mungkin merupakan deskripsi yang tepat untuk apa yang terjadi di berbagai belahan dunia, tetapi apakah itu berlaku untuk Selandia Baru? Segera setelah pemilihan umum Selandia Baru 2017, partai populis New Zealand First memperoleh peran penting dalam koalisi dengan Partai Buruh, yang membuat beberapa pengamat internasional menyarankan bahwa itu mewakili pengambilalihan pemerinta…
Buku ini mengkaji kemiskinan anak sebagai topik keadilan sosial. Para penulis mengembangkan teori keadilan sosial untuk anak-anak berdasarkan pendekatan kapabilitas, menerapkannya pada ketidakadilan kemiskinan anak, dan mengusulkan teori tentang tanggung jawab berbagai agen terhadap anak-anak yang hidup dalam kemiskinan. Buku ini membahas kemiskinan anak sebagai topik keadilan sosial. Berdasark…
Koleksi ini merayakan berdirinya Semiotics Society of America. Sepuluh esai ini mencakup berbagai aspek semiotika, mulai dari dasar medisnya hingga masalah filosofis, logika, seni, dan perspektif ilmu sosial. Judulnya menggemakan pernyataan oleh pendiri besar Amerika dari teori tanda modern, C. S. Peirce, yang berpendapat bahwa seluruh alam semesta dipenuhi dengan tanda-tanda, jika tidak secara…
The sections in this book are devoted to new approaches and usages of stainless steels, the influence of the environments on the behavior of certain classes of steels, new structural concepts to understand some fatigue processes, new insight on strengthening mechanisms, and toughness in microalloyed steels. The kinetics during tempering in low-alloy steels is also discussed through a new set-up…
Biochemistry laboratory manual for undergraduates – an inquiry based approach by Gerczei and Pattison is the first textbook on the market that uses a highly relevant model, antibiotic resistance, to teach seminal topics of biochemistry and molecular biology while incorporating the blossoming field of bioinformatics
Fatty acid constitutes the foundation cell membranes, provides metabolic energy, affects functions of membrane-bound enzymes/receptors, conducts signaling cascades, and helps in learning-related memory cognition in mammals, including humans. Structurally, the fatty acids are of two kinds: saturated and unsaturated; the latter are again of mono- and polyunsaturated types
Advanced water/wastewater treatment techniques including ion exchange separation, filtration separation, and adsorption are essential in the removal of nonbiodegradable toxic wastes from water. In the current study, removal of heavy metal ions from water/wastewater and the use of response surface methodology (RSM) for experimental optimization were examined thoroughly.
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by motor and non-motor symptoms due to the degeneration of the pars compacta of the substantia nigra (SNc) with dopaminergic denervation of the striatum. Although the diagnosis of PD is principally based on a clinical assessment, great efforts have been expended over the past two decades to evaluate reliab…
For the production of sugars and biobased platform chemicals from lignocellulosic biomass, the hydrolysis of cellulose and hemicelluloses to water-soluble sugars is a crucial step. As the complex structure of lignocellulosic biomass hinders an efficient hydrolysis via acid hydrolysis, a suitable pretreatment strategy is of special importance.
