Aquaculture Genome Technologies
Genomics is a rapidly growing scientific field with applications ranging from improved disease resistance to increased rate of growth. Aquaculture Genome Technologies comprehensively covers the field of genomics and its applications to the aquaculture industry. This volume looks to bridge the gap between a basic understanding of genomic technology to its practical use in the aquaculture industry.
Handbook of High-Temperature Superconductor
Devoted to the preparation, characterization and evaluation of HTS electronic devices, this reference provides information on using high-Tc thin films and junctions to increase speed, lessen noise, lower power consumption and enhance upper frequency limits in superconductor electronics.
High-Temperature Superconductors and Novel Inorganic Materials
Research into high-Tc materials demands the co-operation of physicists, chemists and materials scientists to discover the best solutions to the most important challenges presented by the field. In the fifth annual Workshop on High Temperature Superconductors and Novel Inorganic Materials Engineering, the topic is extended beyond high-Tc superconductivity to include other advanced oxide materials, mainly colossal magnetoresistance materials, which are closely related to the ceramic superconductors. This book covers the synthesis, characterisation (both structural and physical) and engineering of this class of materials.
Advances in Electrochemical Science and Engineering, Volume 5
This series, formerly edited by Heinz Gerischer and Charls V. Tobias, now edited by Richard C. Alkire and Dieter M. Kolb, has been warmly welcomed by scientists world-wide which is reflected in the reviews of the previous volumes: "This is an essential book for researchers in electrochemistry; it covers areas of both fundamental and practical importance, with reviews of high quality. The material is very well presented and the choice of topics reflects a balanced editorial policy that is welcomed." —The Analyst "All the contributions in this volume are well up to the standard of this excellent series and will be of great value to electrochemists.... The editors again deserve to be congratulated on this fine collection of reviews." —Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry and Interfacial Chemistry "...competently and clearly written." —Berichte der Bunsen- Gesellschaft für Physikalische Chemie
From Limnology to Fisheries: Lake Tanganyika and Other Large Lakes
Based on modern limnology and environmental research, syntheses of the composition, functions and production of pelagic ecosystems are being provided in the Great Lakes of Africa. Special attention is given to Lake Tanganyika and recent research activities. New findings on relationships between lake hydrophysics, climatic patterns and biological productivity are presented. The roles of organic matters and microbes are discussed. The implications of environmental and fishery research on regional fisheries management are presented, together with the outcomes of the recent major research projects in lakes Tanganyika and Malawi, particularly in practical fisheries development.
Thin Films
Heteroepitaxial films are commonplace among today's electronic and photonic devices. The realization of new and better devices relies on the refinement of epitaxial techniques and improved understanding of the physics underlying epitaxial growth. This book provides an up-to-date report on a wide range of materials systems. The first half reviews metallic and dielectric thin films, including chapters on metals, rare earths, metal-oxide layers, fluorides, and high-c superconductors. The second half covers semiconductor systems, reviewing developments in group-IV, arsenide, phosphide, antimonide, nitride, II-VI and IV-VI heteroepitaxy. Topics important to several systems are covered in chapters on atomic processes, ordering and growth dynamics.
Fundamentals of Ecotoxicology
An integrated analysis exploring current and relevant concepts, Fundamentals of Ecotoxicology: The Science of Pollution, Fourth Edition extends the dialogue further from the previous editions and beyond conventional ecosystems. It explores landscape, regional, and biospheric topics, communicating core concepts with subjects ranging from molecular to global issues. It addresses the increasing growth and complexity of ecotoxicological problems, contains additional vignettes, and employs input from a variety of experts in the field. Divided into 14 chapters, the book begins with an overall history of the field. It details the essential features of the key contaminants of concern today, includin...
Dietary Supplements for the Health and Quality of Cultured Fish
Proper nutrition and feeding are critical components of aquaculture. Effective utilization of well-balanced diet formulations is of utmost importance and influences most aspects of production, including the cost, yield and quality of resulting products, as well as the sustainability of aquacultural practices including potential environmental impacts. In addition to the various required macro- and micro-nutrients, emphasis has been placed on non-nutritive supplements in recent years. These have been found to influence many attributes of freshwater and marine fish, particularly taste and colour, resistance to disease and health benefits to human consumers. This book presents a comprehensive review of the most important nutrients and non-nutritive supplements, using scientific evidence to support the best practices for using these compounds in diet formulations to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of aquaculture. This book is a valuable resource for students and practitioners in aquaculture and fisheries, as well as animal nutrition, feeding and husbandry.
Seafood Enzymes
"Reviews specific enzymes and enzyme groups studied in recent years, delves into the relationship between enzymes and seafood quality, covers the application of enzymes as seafood processing aids, and focuses on the recovery of useful enzymes as by-products from seafood waste. Details the control of enzyme activity in seafood products."
Reducing Risks for Mental Disorders
The understanding of how to reduce risk factors for mental disorders has expanded remarkably as a result of recent scientific advances. This study, mandated by Congress, reviews those advances in the context of current research and provides a targeted definition of prevention and a conceptual framework that emphasizes risk reduction. Highlighting opportunities for and barriers to interventions, the book draws on successful models for the prevention of cardiovascular disease, injuries, and smoking. In addition, it reviews the risk factors associated with Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, alcohol abuse and dependence, depressive disorders, and conduct disorders and evaluates current illustrative prevention programs. The models and examination provide a framework for the design, application, and evaluation of interventions intended to prevent mental disorders and the transfer of knowledge about prevention from research to clinical practice. The book presents a focused research agenda, with recommendations on how to develop effective intervention programs, create a cadre of prevention researchers, and improve coordination among federal agencies.
