This book provides readers with a comprehensive overview of the processes and technologies utilized for producing hydrogen from renewable sources. It discusses common methods like gasification, pyrolysis, and liquefaction, along with novel methods like water thermochemical splitting, biophotolysis, biological water‐gas shift reaction, and fermentation processing. The application of various renewable sources, including wind, solar, and geothermal energy, is covered in detail. Introduces water splitting conversion processes for hydrogen production in detail Uniquely provides different pyrolysis, gasification, and liquefaction processes for hydrogen generation Covers different biomass and waste sources for producing hydrogen Discusses biochemical methods for converting biomass to hydrogen Provides the application of renewable energy sources in hydrogen production Part of the multivolume Handbook of Hydrogen Production and Applications, this standalone book guides researchers and academics in chemical, environmental, energy, and related areas of engineering interested in the development and implementation of hydrogen production technologies.
La red CYTED RIMSGES, del área de Energía, comenzó su andadura en el año 2021 como una red de personal docente e investigador de universidades y centros tecnológicos de seis países (España, Portugal, Colombia, Chile, Panamá y Ecuador) con la motivación de compartir conocimiento y encontrar sinergias para diseñar actividades formativas y materiales de difusión en el contexto de la gestión sostenible de sistemas energéticos. Esta gestión se diseñó como una gestión integral desde los sistemas productivos energéticos, pasando por el transporte y distribución, hasta llegar al usuario final. Entre los intereses de la red, se incluyen también la gestión de consumos y mejora en la eficiencia energética de instalaciones, procesos y servicios, y la toma de medidas que permitan avanzar en la implementación de sistemas de autoconsumo y modalidades de producción innovadoras y eficientes, como las islas energéticas.
La presente obra busca ofrecer una panorámica general de la situación de las mujeres migrantes en el sur de España, concretamente en Andalucía, como escenario fronterizo de entrada a España y Europa. De esta forma, las aportaciones que se realizan en estas páginas están relacionadas con la Estrategia Andaluza para la Inmigración 2021-2025: inclusión y convivencia, de la Junta de Andalucía, favoreciendo el desarrollo de políticas públicas que contribuyan a la integración e inclusión de la población migrante en Andalucía desde una perspectiva de género, así como la igualdad de derechos y oportunidades para alcanzar una sociedad cohesionada. Además, el libro presenta el hecho...
Current Advances for Development of Functional Foods Modulating Inflammation and Oxidative Stress presents the nutritional and technological aspects related to the development of functional foods with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Specifically, analytical approaches for the characterization of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of healthy foods and functional constituents, as well as technological strategies for the extraction of compounds and fractions from raw materials to produce anti-inflammatory and antioxidant ingredients are addressed. In addition, the molecular mechanisms by which foods and their components can modulate inflammation and their oxidative stress effects on disease prevention are explored. Finally, clinical research addressing nutritional needs in pathological subjects with inflammatory diseases are considered. - Covers methods of analysis and extraction of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds - Offers an overview of the main anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds in foods - Provides a guide on the mechanisms of action and health benefits of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant dietary bioactives
Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.
Sustainable horticulture is gaining increasing attention in the field of agriculture as demand for the food production rises to the world community. Sustainable horticultural systems are based on ecological principles to farm, optimizes pest and disease management approaches through environmentally friendly and renewable strategies in production agriculture. It is a discipline that addresses current issues such as food security, water pollution, soil health, pest control, and biodiversity depletion. Novel, environmentally-friendly solutions are proposed based on integrated knowledge from sciences as diverse as agronomy, soil science, entomology, ecology, chemistry and food sciences. Sustainable horticulture interprets methods and processes in the farming system to the global level. For that, horticulturists use the system approach that involves studying components and interactions of a whole system to address scientific, economic and social issues. In that respect, sustainable horticulture is not a classical, narrow science. Instead of solving problems using the classical painkiller approach that treats only negative impacts, sustainable horticulture treats problem sources.
