Microbial Forensics, Third Edition, serves as a complete reference on the discipline, describing the advances, challenges and opportunities that are integral in applying science to help solve future biocrimes. New chapters include: Microbial Source Tracking, Clinical Recognition, Bioinformatics, and Quality Assurance. This book is intended for a wide audience, but will be indispensable to forensic scientists and researchers interested in contributing to the growing field of microbial forensics. Biologists and microbiologists, the legal and judicial system, and the international community involved with Biological Weapons Treaties will also find this volume invaluable. - Presents new and expanded content that includes a statistical analysis of forensic data, legal admissibility and standards of evidence - Discusses actual cases of forensic bioterrorism - Includes contributions from editors and authors who are leading experts in the field, with primary experience in the application of this fast-growing discipline
Infectious diseases account for a third of all deaths in the developing world, yet the pathogens which affect specifically these predominantly poor people attract little attention. Melioidosis is a case in point. This book describes the epidemiology, pathology, pathophysiology, clinical features, diagnosis, management and prevention of an important infection that is little known outside Southeast Asia and Australia.
This edited book provides knowledge about hemicelluloses biorefinery approaching production life cycle, circular economy, and valorization by obtaining value-added bioproducts and bioenergy. A special focus is dedicated to chemical and biochemical compounds produced from the hemicelluloses derivatives platform. Hemicelluloses are polysaccharides located into plant cell wall, with diverse chemical structures and properties. It is the second most spread organic polymer on nature and found in vast lignocellulosic materials from agro and industrial wastes, therefore, hemicelluloses are considered as abundant and renewable raw material/feedstock. Biorefinery concept contributes to hemicelluloses ...

The solvent-free approach provides green and alternative synthetic methods for obtaining diverse bioactive heterocycles. The solvent is frequently the primary component of synthetic protocol and contributes to significant waste. Additionally, its removal processes are energy intensive and substantial. This book explores different solvent-free procedures for efficiently synthesising heterocyclic analogues of immense biological importance and other applications.
