Vaccine: The Black Box
No doubt 2020 was a challenging year for some, and tough for others due to COVID-19 pandemic. The early announcement of the vaccine at the beginning of 2021 gave several communities the hope to terminate this pandemic and made them believe they could shortly go back to normal life. Meanwhile, others were doubtful concerning the efficacy of the vaccine itself and advocated against it. In this book, we are representing the two sides – those who are for and those who are against the idea of vaccination. We do so by uncovering the historical fights and presenting various factors (religious, political, personal and industrial) concerning the vaccines and vaccination and by showing how different the perspectives of various people can be. We believe this book will build a bridge of trust and create an open dialogue for both sides. Whether you are off medical background or not, this book will be a valuable source of information. We did our best to clarify the medical terms and conditions and to explain in simple words the mechanisms that might seem difficult at first. Hopefully, this will make the time spent reading this book both informative and useful.
Microfiltration and Ultrafiltration
Integrates knowledge on microfiltration and ultrification, membrane chemistry, and characterization methods with the engineering and economic aspects of device performance, device and module design, processes, and applications. The text provides a discussion of membrane fundamentals and an analytical framework for designing and developing new filtrations systems for a broad range of technologically important functions. It offers information on membrane liquid precursors, fractal and stochastic pore space analysis, novel and advanced module designs, and original process design calculations.
Environmental Biology of Agaves and Cacti
A comprehensive review of these two interesting and economically important desert succulents.
Canopy Photosynthesis: From Basics to Applications
The last 30 years has seen the development of increasingly sophisticated models that quantify canopy carbon exchange. These models are now essential parts of larger models for prediction and simulation of crop production, climate change, and regional and global carbon dynamics. There is thus an urgent need for increasing expertise in developing, use and understanding of these models. This in turn calls for an advanced, yet easily accessible textbook that summarizes the “canopy science” and introduces the present and the future scientists to the theoretical background of the current canopy models. This book presents current knowledge of functioning of plant canopies, models and strategies employed to simulate canopy function, and the significance of canopy architecture, physiology and dynamics in ecosystems, landscape and biosphere.
Violent Exceptions
Exposes how humanitarian discourses privilege certain children's lives and rights over others.
Membrane and Desalination Technologies
In this essential new volume, Volume 13: Membrane and Desalination Technologies, a panel of expert researchers provide a wealth of information on membrane and desalination technologies. An advanced chemical and environmental engineering textbook as well as a comprehensive reference book, this volume is of high value to advanced graduate and undergraduate students, researchers, scientists, and designers of water and wastewater treatment systems. This is an essential part of the Handbook of Environmental Engineering series, an incredible collection of methodologies that study the effects of pollution and waste in their three basic forms: gas, solid, and liquid. Chapters adopt the series format...
Energy Harvesting
Also called energy scavenging, energy harvesting captures, stores, and uses "clean" energy sources by employing interfaces, storage devices, and other units. Unlike conventional electric power generation systems, renewable energy harvesting does not use fossil fuels and the generation units can be decentralized, thereby significantly reducing transmission and distribution losses. But advanced technical methods must be developed to increase the efficiency of devices in harvesting energy from environmentally friendly, "green" resources and converting them into electrical energy. Recognizing this need, Energy Harvesting: Solar, Wind, and Ocean Energy Conversion Systems describes various energy ...
Elementary Estimating For Building Works (Penerbit USM)
Accurately forecasting the building works is vital to the survival of any business or organization. Building consists of many elements that need to be properly priced. Building estimation is useful for owner and consultant to determine the project scope; while for contractor it is normally used for bidding or tendering process. This book provides a simple guideline in doing elementary estimation of building works. It consists of 12 chapters giving example calculations of various building elements covering from excavation and earthwork until rainwater disposal system. Besides students in the construction environment, this book is also relevant for practitioners in the construction related industries such as building contractors, subcontractors, consultants or clients and also individual who are looking for knowledge related to building costing. Globalization era in higher education system and a great demand on construction related programmes in Malaysia has contributed to the publication of this book. Thus, this book is purposely written in English for the benefit of local and international students. Universiti Sains Malaysia, Penerbit Universiti Sains Malaysia
