Emerging Methods for Oil Extraction from Food Processing Waste
Discusses the benefits and technologies of oil extraction from byproducts generated during food processing. It covers the technologies adopted for improving oil production rates to meet oil demand. It discusses non-thermal methods using enzymes, ultrasound, cold Plasma, sub- and supercritical fluid, and high-pressure processing.
Structured Foods
The book covers recent research trends on structure development in various foods. It focuses on key tools and food engineering techniques like encapsulation, 3D and 4D printing, imaging techniques, and clean meat technology. It caters to food scientists in academic, industrial, and government spheres.
Sustainable Intensification
Continued population growth, rapidly changing consumption patterns and the impacts of climate change and environmental degradation are driving limited resources of food, energy, water and materials towards critical thresholds worldwide. These pressures are likely to be substantial across Africa, where countries will have to find innovative ways to boost crop and livestock production to avoid becoming more reliant on imports and food aid. Sustainable agricultural intensification - producing more output from the same area of land while reducing the negative environmental impacts - represents a solution for millions of African farmers. This volume presents the lessons learned from 40 sustainabl...
Spectrometric Identification of Organic Compounds
Originally published in 1962, this was the first book to explore teh identification of organic compounds using spectroscopy. It provides a thorough introduction to the three areas of spectrometry most widely used in spectrometric identification: mass spectrometry, infrared spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry. A how-to, hands-on teaching manual with considerably expanded NMR coverage--NMR spectra can now be intrepreted in exquisite detail. This book: Uses a problem-solving approach with extensive reference charts and tables. Offers an extensive set of real-data problems offers a challenge to the practicing chemist
Book of Myths
'Book of Myths' is a challenge every spiritual seeker must accept. It questions popular spiritual beliefs such as positive thinking, self-improvement, meditation, enlightenment, and so on. Never imposing itself on the reader, it facilities a thorough enquiry of spiritual misconceptions touted as facts. The book compels the reader to scrutinize the fundamentals of their spiritual knowledge, and in the process of doing so, aims to demolish false knowledge.
Impact of Climate Change on Natural Resource Management
As climate change takes hold, there is an ever-growing need to develop and apply strategies that optimize the use of natural resources, both on land and in water. This book covers a huge range of strategies that can be applied to various sectors, from forests to flood control. Its aim, as with resource management itself, is to combine economics, policy and science to help rehabilitate and preserve our natural resources. Beginning with papers on carbon sequestration, including the practice of artificial desertification, the topics move on to cover the use of distributed modeling and neural networks in estimating water availability and distribution. Further chapters look at uncertainty analysis applied to the spatial variation of hydrologic resources, and finally the book covers attempts at estimating meteorological parameters in the context of hydrological variables such as evapo-transpiration from stream flow. Within the next decade, the effects of climate change will be severe, and felt by ordinary human beings. This book proposes a raft of measures that can mitigate, if not reverse, the impact of global warming on the resources we have all come to depend on.
Women’s empowerment in agriculture: Lessons from qualitative research
There is growing recognition of the importance of women’s empowerment in its own right and for a range of development outcomes, but less understanding of what empowerment means to rural women and men. The challenge of measuring empowerment, particularly across cultures and contexts, is also garnering attention. This paper synthesizes qualitative research conducted conjointly with quantitative surveys, working with eight agricultural development projects in eight countries, to develop a project-level Women’s Empowerment in Agriculture Index (pro-WEAI). The qualitative research sought to identify emic meanings of “empowerment,” validate the domains and indicators of the quantitative index, provide greater understanding of the context of each project and of strategies for facilitating empowerment, and test a methodology for integrating emic perspectives of empowerment with standardized etic measures that allow for comparability across contexts.
C4.5
This book is a complete guide to the C4.5 system as implemented in C for the UNIX environment. It contains a comprehensive guide to the system's use, the source code (about 8,800 lines), and implementation notes.
Surface Modification of Textiles
The surface of textiles offers an important platform for functional modifications in order to meet special requirements for a variety of applications. The surface modification of textiles may be achieved by various techniques ranging from traditional solution treatment to biological approaches. This book reviews fundamental issues relating to textile surfaces and their characterisation and explores the exciting opportunities for surface modification of a range of different textiles. Introductory chapters review some important surface modification techniques employed for improved functional behaviour of textiles and the various surface characterisation methods available. Further chapters exam...
