Agroecology
"It is known that conventional agriculture with the use of inputs and agrochemicals is not sustainable in time, causing numerous problems such as contamination of food, people and environment. Thus, agriculture must adapt to cause the least possible impact to the environment and to human beings. In this context, agroecology enters as an alternative to conventional production, being a production system more ecologically correct, not allowing the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Agroecological and organic systems are responsible for the production of food with less use of inputs external to the property, requiring a more efficient management of the vegetation cover and nutrient cycl...
Biochar and its Application in Bioremediation
Biochar prepared from agricultural biomass has received considerable attention because of the huge availability of ago-waste at zero cost, flexibility, high efficiency, renewability, faster contaminant removal rate, ability to treat concentrated effluent and reduction of sludge production after the treatment. This book on biochar is a comprehensive account of preparation of biochar from agricultural waste. It provides a roadmap in development of future strategy for pollution abatement and sustainable waste management. This book contains up-to-date information on biochar and its role in environment protection. The book covers useful information and applications of biochar to research scholars, academicians, agronomists, scientists and environmentalist working in the field of environment protection, bioremediation, waste management and climate change mitigation.
Bioprocessing for Biomolecules Production
Presents the many recent innovations and advancements in the field of biotechnological processes This book tackles the challenges and potential of biotechnological processes for the production of new industrial ingredients, bioactive compounds, biopolymers, energy sources, and compounds with commercial/industrial and economic interest by performing an interface between the developments achieved in the recent worldwide research and its many challenges to the upscale process until the adoption of commercial as well as industrial scale. Bioprocessing for Biomolecules Production examines the current status of the use and limitation of biotechnology in different industrial sectors, prospects for ...

Rice and Rice Straw
Rice and Rice Straw: Production, Cultivation and Uses opens with a discussion on rice straw, a substance rich in polysaccharides with a high lignin and silica content, limiting voluntary intake and reducing degradability by rumen microbes. The authors suggest that the treatment of rice straw could be a good potential feed for ruminants. Next, the authors revise the fractionation processes used for the recovery of hemicelluloses from rice straw, subsequently providing a critical appraisal of the potential products that can be derived from it, and what conversion and purification processes are necessary for their production. Additionally, the current and potential industrial status of these pr...

Microbiologia Geral e de Alimentos
A microbiologia é a ciência que estuda os microrganismos, popularmente chamados de germes ou micróbios, os quais somente são visualizados através do microscópio. Como ciência, a microbiologia surgiu com a criação do microscópio, inventado pelo holandês Antony Van Leeuwenhoek em 1674. Ele observou seres microscópicos em amostras de solo, saliva e fezes, e os chamou de "animálculos". A partir daí surgiram duas teorias controversas: a teoria da geração espontânea ou teoria da abiogênese na qual se acreditava que os "animálculos" se originavam da composição de plantas e tecidos de diversos animais. E a teoria da biogênese, defendida pelo cientista francês Louis Pasteur, qu...
Salvia Officinalis:
"This book contains five chapters, each of which provides a different perspective on Salvia officinalis, commonly known as sage. Chapter One describes the use of this plant as a traditional medicine as well as recent studies confirming the various health benefits of sage. Chapter Two explains how Salvia officinalis can be used as an environmentally friendly alternative to chemical pesticides. Chapter Three focuses on the antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of Salvia officinalis. Chapter Four describes the potential of Salvia officinalis compounds and extracts in the management of cardiovascular diseases and associated risk factors through its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, as well as safety concerns due to the presence of a neurotoxic compound in this species. Lastly, Chapter Five covers production technology, harvesting, utilization, and cytotoxicity of Salvia officinalis in detail"--
Tópicos em ciências da saúde: contribuições, desafios e possibilidades
Inicialmente pensada para ser uma composição nacional, a coleção se expandiu e, além de autores das cinco regiões brasileiras, conta também com autores de outras nacionalidades, caracterizando-a, portanto, como internacional. Sinaliza-se ainda, seu enfoque multidisciplinar, uma vez que, os distintos autores possuem níveis e formações bastante distintas na área das ciências da saúde. Frente à robustez desta coleção, esperasse que tanto discentes/universitários, quanto profissionais vinculados as Ciências da Saúde se beneficiem dela. E, para além disso, cumprindo os preceitos da Ciência Aberta, tem-se a intenção, de que esse material ao ser disponibilizado como E-book, possa também ser acessado por toda a população que interessa por essa área e por estudos relevantes, nos mais distintos lugares do Brasil e do mundo. Os dois volumes desta obra foram organizados com base em cinco grandes eixos das Ciências da Saúde, a saber: Laboratório; Saúde coletiva; Atenção hospitalar; Gestão; e outros assuntos.
