Biorefinery 2030
This book investigates the functioning and ecosystems of biorefineries and assesses the potential of the industrial bioeconomy. The authors present a case study of the biorefinery at Bazancourt Pomacle, near Reims, France, as an outstanding illustration of the creation, work processes, financing, provision of environmental services, competitive benefits and future prospects of a bioeconomy. Analysing the case of Bazancourt Pomacle, the authors show the wide range of products produced by integrated biorefineries such as food, bioenergy, molecules for cosmetics and nutrients for agricultural use. They also analyse Bazancourt Pomacle as an open innovation platform, which encompasses several lay...
New Insights on Biofilm Antimicrobial Strategies
Over the last few decades, the study of microbial biofilms has been gaining interest among the scientific community. These microbial communities comprise cells adhered to surfaces that are surrounded by a self-produced exopolymeric matrix that protects biofilm cells against different external stresses. Biofilms can have a negative impact on different sectors within society, namely in agriculture, food industries, and veterinary and human health. As a consequence of their metabolic state and matrix protection, biofilm cells are very difficult to tackle with antibiotics or chemical disinfectants. Due to this problem, recent advances in the development of antibiotic alternatives or complementary strategies to prevent or control biofilms have been reported. This book includes different strategies to prevent biofilm formation or to control biofilm development and includes full research articles, reviews, a communication, and a perspective.
Biotic Resources
This reference book provides advanced knowledge on sustainable biogenic waste management. It covers innovative waste processing technologies to produce biofuels, energy products, and biochemicals. To create a circular bioeconomy, it is imperative to develop processes where the waste generated through one process acts as a feedstock for the other. This book discusses the latest developments in biochemical and thermochemical methods of conversion and covers the potential of different kinds of biomass in more decentralized biorefineries. It describes sustainable solutions for a greener supplement to fossil resources. The book is meant for microbiologists, chemists, and biotechnologists.
Bioraffinerie 2030. Une question d'avenir
Cette étude de la bioraffinerie intégrée de Bazancourt-Pomacle, en Champagne près de Reims, met en exergue le potentiel de la bioéconomie industrielle à réaliser une substitution de ressources fossiles (charbon, pétrole, gaz naturels) par des ressources tirées de la biomasse (agro-ressources principalement) dans des conditions plus durables tout en étant performantes sur le plan économique et social. Un enjeu majeur du XXIe siècle.
Perspectives économiques pour le XXIe siècle ?
Les pays de l'OCDE ont été frappés durement par la crise financière mondiale. Elle masque un défi plus sérieux : un reflux de l'influence de l'Occident, moins apte à s'imposer dans l'économie mondiale ; une Amérique dominante, en avance technologiquement et suscitant des dépendances ; un tassement dans la mondialisation et une montée des blocs. Entre-temps, les changements technologiques s'apparentent à des mutations que seuls des acteurs coordonnées et en harmonie avec les pouvoirs publics et la société pourront faire fructifier. Grâce à une perspective du temps long (1950-2050), cette analyse propose une autre politique de croissance économique.
Cinema: The time-image
Discusses the theoretical implications of the cinematographic image based on Henri Bergson's theories
The Calendar in Revolutionary France
One of the most unusual decisions of the leaders of the French Revolution - and one that had immense practical as well as symbolic impact - was to abandon customarily-accepted ways of calculating date and time to create a Revolutionary calendar. The experiment lasted from 1793 to 1805, and prompted all sorts of questions about the nature of time, ways of measuring it and its relationship to individual, community, communication and creative life. This study traces the course of the Revolutionary Calendar, from its cultural origins to its decline and fall. Tracing the parallel stories of the calendar and the literary genius of its creator, Sylvain Maréchal, from the Enlightenment to the Napoleonic era, Sanja Perovic reconsiders the status of the French Revolution as the purported 'origin' of modernity, the modern experience of time, and the relationship between the imagination and political action.
Waste Biorefineries: Future Energy, Green Products and Waste Treatment
Energy recovery from waste resources holds a significant role in the sustainable waste management hierarchy to support the concept of circular economies and to mitigate the challenges of waste originated problems of sanitation, environment, and public health. Today, waste disposal to landfills is the most widely used methodology, particularly in developing countries, because of limited budgets and lack of efficient infrastructure and facilities to maintain efficient and practical global standards. As a consequence, the dump-sites or non-sanitary landfills have become the significant sources of greenhouse gases emissions, soil and water contamination, unpleasant odors, leachate, and disease s...
