Insights into the World of Diatoms: From Essentials to Applications
This edited book provides a comprehensive and a reliable source of information on all major areas of diatom research. It addresses research advances in the key areas of diatom biology, morphology, systematics, phylogeny and ecology along with their interdisciplinary applications. Diatoms are the world’s most diverse group of algae populating the freshwater and marine ecosystems of the world. They are unicellular, photosynthetic, eukaryotes having ornate silicified cell walls. Diatoms contribute around 25% of annual global carbon fixation, which is more than all of the terrestrial rainforests combined. Diatoms underpin major aquatic food webs and drive global biogeochemical cycles and have several ecological and interdisciplinary applications. This book targets a wide range of audience including researchers, academicians, teachers and students of varied disciplines such as biology, environmental sciences, ecology, evolution, nanotechnology and other related disciplines. It is useful read for beginners as well as advanced researchers.
Geoinformatics for Sustainable Urban Development
This book provides compelling new insights into how cities are attempting to address sustainability challenges via major applications of geospatial technology in an urban area. It elucidates the role of geospatial techniques such as GIS and GNSS, including remote sensing in urban management, and covers the theory and practice of urban sustainability transitions. It provides case studies and contextualised tools for the governance of urban transitions to present various applications of geospatial techniques in an urban environment. Features: Covers hands-on approaches on quantitative measures of urban analytics Focuses on sustainability issues in urban planning and development Includes pertinent global case studies for implementation of urban planning practices Reviews the inter-relationship between smart cities and sustainable development This book is aimed at graduate students, researchers, and professionals in GIS, urban sciences, and geography.
Nanotechnology
This book explores various nanotechnology applications and their effect on the food industry, innovation and environmental issues. Nanotechnology has had a major impact on the food industry and the environment in recent years – it has increased the nutritional and functional properties of a number of food products, food packaging, food quality, crop protection, plant nutrient management and aided the food industry through the introduction of food diagnostics.
Geospatial Technology for Natural Resource Management
This book is essential for anyone interested in understanding and implementing sustainable resource development strategies, as it covers the crucial first stage of assessing resource availability and condition, along with the use of modern geospatial technologies such as remote sensing, GIS, and GPS for surveying, mapping, and monitoring various resources for global environmental protection and sustainable development. The first step in developing a sustainable resource strategy is assessing the availability and condition of resources. This involves evaluating baseline levels, identifying trends, and understanding their consequences. Mitigation policies are then developed based on this asses...
New Innovations in AI, Aviation, and Air Traffic Technology
The rapid advancement of technology, along with the increasing complexity of air traffic management present significant challenges in aviation management. As the industry continues to evolve, aviation professionals must stay updated with the latest advancements to ensure safe and efficient operations. However, accessing comprehensive and up-to-date resources can be difficult, leading to a knowledge gap that hinders the industry's progress. New Innovations in AI, Aviation, and Air Traffic Technology offers a solution to the challenges faced by aviation management professionals by providing a comprehensive overview of futuristic research trends in aviation management. Through case studies, simulations, and experimental results, we offer readers a detailed exploration of the latest trends in air traffic management, uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs), electric vehicles, and more. By providing a bridge between theory and practice, this book equips aviation professionals with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate and contribute to the rapidly evolving aviation industry.
Technological Advancements in Plant Sciences
Botany is a forerunning field of study that could address the foremost disputes facing humanity in the 21st century; coupled with the development of new tools and techniques, it could aid in finding solutions to diagnose these unsolved questions. The present book summarises the recent technological advances of plant science. This is a succinct, up-to-date, and relevant compilation based on the techniques used in plant science; this book embodies the recent knowledge of advanced techniques frequently being used from last few decades. There are twelve chapters summarised systematically that demonstrate: the suitability of Laser Produced Plasma Spectroscopy; potential of NMR spectroscopy in pla...
Adaptive Environmental Management
Adaptive management is the recommended means for continuing ecosystem management and use of natural resources, especially in the context of ‘integrated natural resource management’. Conceptually, adaptive management is simply learning from past management actions to improve future planning and management. However, adaptive management has proved difficult to achieve in practice. With a view to facilitating better practice, this new book presents lessons learned from case studies, to provide managers with ready access to relevant information. Cases are drawn from a number of disciplinary fields, including management of protected areas, watersheds and farms, rivers, forests, biodiversity and pests. Examples from Australia, New Zealand, the USA, Canada, the UK and Europe are presented at a variety of scales, from individual farms, through regional projects, to state-wide planning. While the book is designed primarily for practitioners and policy advisors in the fields of environmental and natural resource management, it will also provide a valuable reference for students and researchers with interests in environmental, natural resource and conservation management.
The Failure of Risk Management
An essential guide to the calibrated risk analysis approach The Failure of Risk Management takes a close look at misused and misapplied basic analysis methods and shows how some of the most popular "risk management" methods are no better than astrology! Using examples from the 2008 credit crisis, natural disasters, outsourcing to China, engineering disasters, and more, Hubbard reveals critical flaws in risk management methods–and shows how all of these problems can be fixed. The solutions involve combinations of scientifically proven and frequently used methods from nuclear power, exploratory oil, and other areas of business and government. Finally, Hubbard explains how new forms of collab...
