Net Locality
The first book to provide an introduction to the new theory of Net Locality and the profound effect on individuals and societies when everything is located or locatable. Describes net locality as an emerging form of location awareness central to all aspects of digital media, from mobile phones, to Google Maps, to location-based social networks and games, such as Foursquare and facebook. Warns of the threats these technologies, such as data surveillance, present to our sense of privacy, while also outlining the opportunities for pro-social developments. Provides a theory of the web in the context of the history of emerging technologies, from GeoCities to GPS, Wi-Fi, Wiki Me, and Google Android.
Plant Derived Bioactive Compounds in Human Health and Disease
This book offers a comprehensive review of the multifaceted role of phytochemicals in promoting human health and combating diseases. The initial chapters introduce phytochemicals, navigate the natural health landscape, and provide a foundational understanding of these bioactive compounds. The book unfolds the role of phytochemicals as a formidable defense against oxidative stress and explores the unique health benefits and nutritional significance of phytochemicals found in fruit peels. The subsequent chapters further discuss the therapeutic potential of phytochemicals, detailing their role in combating multidrug-resistant bacterial infections and modulating critical pathways in inflammation...
Coffee
Coffee is one of the most popular drinks in the world but how does the production influence chemistry and quality? This book covers coffee production, quality and chemistry from the plant to the cup. Written by an international collection of contributors in the field who concentrate on coffee research, it is edited expertly to ensure quality of content, consistency and organization across the chapters. Aimed at advanced undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers and accompanied by a sister volume covering how health is influenced by the consumption of coffee, these titles provide an impactful and accessible guide to the current research in the field.
Novel Nanocarriers for Skin Diseases
This new volume explores advances that have been achieved in the effective use of nanocarriers as drug delivery systems to address skin diseases. It presents the progress in the treatment via nanocarriers of acne, dermatitis, psoriasis, and infections. It also looks at follicular delivery as a promising strategy due to reduced particle size of these drug delivery systems. In the first section of the book, the authors cover the use of nanocarriers for skin cancer, topical nanotherapeutics for acne, and topical amphotericin B for fungal diseases. In section two, the chapters discuss nanocarriers for several skin diseases, highlighting relevant information on nanoformulations designed for skin ...
Microbes in Agri-Forestry Biotechnology
This book explores recent advances on the use of microbes for agri-forestry biotechnological applications. It provides technical concepts and discussions on the use of microorganisms for processes such as bioprocessing, bioremediation, soil enhancement, aquaponics advances, and plant-host symbiosis. The book provides an overview of the microbial approach to the tools and processes used in agriculture and forestry that make or modify products, improve plants for specific uses, and make use of livestock in agricultural systems. The authors discuss the main process conditions that enhance agri-forestry applications with the use of microbes and introduce the use of genetically modified (GM) microbes in agrobiotechnology. Finally, the authors explore the main technological advances in the production of secondary metabolites with potential applications in agri-forestry. This book is intended for biotechnologists, biologists, bioengineers, biochemists, microbiologists, food technologists, enzymologists, and related researchers.
Enzymatic Processes for Food Valorization
Enzymatic Processes for Food Valorization describes the most recent research in the field of catalysis for food valorization, revealing the impact of the implementation of enzymatic catalysis in the different stages that make up the production processes. Sections review advances in food processing using enzymes, explore the use of enzymes on by-products for the release of compounds of interest, and show recent trends in biocatalysis and its application in the food industry. Written by a team of international experts, this is an invaluable guide for professionals in the area of enzyme technology applied in the food industry, as well as technicians and scientists involved in the use of enzymes...
E quando o suspeito for você?
O uso do reconhecimento facial pela segurança pública vem crescendo rapidamente nos últimos anos no Brasil, especialmente, em eventos e festas, com identificação em massa. Por esse motivo, é importante averiguar os riscos decorrentes dessa tecnologia, por servir de base para a vida das pessoas, podendo ferir direitos ao serem utilizados algoritmos enviesados e banco de dados nem sempre bem tratados. Assim, tem-se como objetivo analisar como a inteligência artificial desenvolve seus algoritmos a ponto de gerar discriminações e como a utilização dessa tecnologia em massa pode ocasionar ainda mais exclusões, necessitando de regulação Estatal para evitar o arbítrio e a ofensa a di...
Yearbook of International Organizations, 2013-2014 (Volume 2)
The Yearbook of International Organizations provides the most extensive coverage of non-profit international organizations currently available. Detailed profiles of international non-governmental and intergovernmental organizations (IGO), collected and documented by the Union of International Associations, can be found here. In addition to the history, aims and acitvities of international organizations, with their events, publications and contact details, the volumes of the Yearbook include networks between associations, biographies of key people involved and extensive statistical data. Volume 2 allows users to locate organizations by the country in which secretariats or members are located.
