This reference book provides updated information about the technological advancement in sustainable thermochemical bioprocessing of sewage sludge disposal and resource recovery. It discusses the innovative strategies of resource recovery for the formulation of feedstock, clean compost production and safe application. This book traces the main chemical and biological properties of sewage sludge and covers biostabilization, detoxification, the role of microorganisms in sewage sludge management and the sustainable use of sewage sludge from a circular economy perspective. Key Features • Discusses organic waste disposal and recycling • Covers knowledge transfer from waste bioprocessing to commercially important end products • Includes industrial application of biological and thermochemical sewage sludge treatment toward emerging nutrient recovery technologies • Reviews the function and applications of microorganisms in sewage sludge treatment • Describes the application of sewage sludge as fertilizers in agriculture This book is meant for researchers and industry experts in environmental sciences, biochemical engineering and biotechnology.
Microbial ecology is pivotal in wastewater treatment, where microorganisms play a vital role in breaking down organic matter and ultimately reduce the levels of contaminants in treated water, making it safe for reuse in agriculture, industry, and other applications. The book, Microbial Nexus for Sustainable Wastewater Treatment: Resources, Efficiency, and Reuse, ventures into the dynamic world of microbial ecosystems, unveiling their pivotal role in reshaping wastewater treatment technologies. This book addresses novel microbial techniques related to sustainable, efficient technologies of wastewater treatment and wastewater reuse as well as obtaining high-quality effluents from treatment pla...
Learning to Emulate the Wise is the first book of a threevolume series that constructs a historically informed, multidisciplinary framework to examine how traditional Chinese knowledge systems and grammars of knowledge construction interacted with Western paradigms in the formation and development of modern academic disciplines in China. Within this volume, John Makeham and several other noted sinologists and philosophers explore how the field of "Chinese philosophy" (Zhongguo Zhexue) was born and developed in the early decades of the twentieth century, examining its growth and relationship with European, American, and Japanese scholarship and philosophy. The work discusses an array of representative institutions and individuals, including FengYoulan, Fu Sinian, Hu Shi, Jin Yuelin, Liang Shuming, Nishi Amane, Tang Yongtong, Xiong Shili, Zhang Taiyan, and a range of Marxist philosophers. The epilogue discusses the intellectualhistorical significance of these figures and throws into relief how Zhongguozhexue is understood today.
Guo Qiyong’s edited volume on contemporary Chinese philosophy offers a detailed look at research on Chinese philosophy published from 1949-2009 in Mainland China and Taiwan. The chapters in this volume are broken down into either major themes or time periods in the history of Chinese philosophy. In each chapter after summarizing significant aspects of a particular theme or time period, lists are drawn up of the most important works, along with comments on their individual contributions. This volume allows readers to both familiarize themselves with specific texts and become immersed in the more general philosophical discourse surrounding the history of Chinese philosophy. It provides an in-depth look into serious debates and major discoveries in Chinese language philosophical scholarship from 1949-2009.
Autoimmune diseases are characterized by immune dysregulation, leading to immune-mediated damage of healthy tissues and cells. Despite increasing research, the exact cause of individual autoimmune disorders is not yet entirely understood. Pediatric autoimmune diseases, in particular, are often less extensively studied and present their own challenges to physicians in terms of diagnosis, as well as their treatment, often requiring a multidisciplinary approach. Understanding how autoimmune responses initiate and progress will allow us to develop novel therapeutics and improve disease management strategies. Inborn errors of immunity (IEI) are genetic disorders that have recently been linked to a series of early-onset autoimmune disorders. An example is the LRBA deficiency which may manifest as a series of autoimmune diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease, endocrinopathies, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, arthritis, and SLE. The IEI may also manifest as increased susceptibility to infections, autoinflammatory, allergic, and/or malignant diseases, however, there are few IEI in which an autoimmune manifestation has never been observed.
Waste Management Policies and Practices in BRICS Nations explores recent developments in waste management. BRICS nations are the emerging economies of the world. Increasing populations, urbanization, industrialization and uses of chemical fertilizer and pesticide in agriculture for enhanced productivity of food, especially in India and China, to support the large populations harm the natural environment. The rise in the living standards of the human population has increased environmental pollution manifold, resulting in the huge generation of biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste simultaneously, which has contaminated natural resources such as soil, water and air. It has led to undesirab...
He had overbearingly announced to her that the night was over and she would die."From today onwards, you are mine!"She was, however, only his nominal sister.For two years, she had racked her brains and pulled a prank to get rid of the women around him.Yin Tianhan couldn't bear it any longer. "What do you want?"Yan Xiao lifted his head and stared at Qin Lie. "You're my man. You're not allowed to touch me!""But you're still young."She blinked in confusion. "Small? It's obviously 34C! "
