Fossil fuels still need to meet the growing demand of global economic development, yet they are often considered as one of the main sources of the CO2 release in the atmosphere. CO2, which is the primary greenhouse gas (GHG), is periodically exchanged among the land surface, ocean, and atmosphere where various creatures absorb and produce it daily. However, the balanced processes of producing and consuming the CO2 by nature are unfortunately faced by the anthropogenic release of CO2. Decreasing the emissions of these greenhouse gases is becoming more urgent. Therefore, carbon sequestration and storage (CSS) of CO2, its utilization in oil recovery, as well as its conversion into fuels and chemicals emerge as active options and potential strategies to mitigate CO2 emissions and climate change, energy crises, and challenges in the storage of energy.
This book focuses on the usage and application of plant- and animal-based food products with significant functional properties and health benefits as well as their development into processed food. Many chapters in this book contain overviews on superfood and functional food from South America. Details on the functional properties of apiculture products are also included herein. Additionally, an area that is not widely discussed in academia - pet food with functional properties - is also covered. It is hoped that this book will serve as a source of knowledge and information to make better choices in food consumption and alterations to dietary patterns. It is also recommended for readers to take a look at a related book, Superfood and Functional Food - The Development of Superfoods and Their Roles as Medicine.
A bioactive compound is a type of chemical found in small amounts in plants and certain foods (such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, oils, and whole grains). Bioactive compounds have actions in the body that may promote good health. They are widely explored and investigated for their role in the prevention and treatment of various diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disorders, and neurodegenerative disorders; thus, they are categorized as nutraceuticals. Examples of such bioactive compounds from food include lycopene, resveratrol, lignan, tannins, and indoles. Accordingly, the methods that are utilized to analyze these compounds for their identification, detection, and characterization ar...
Globalization and industrialization involve a number of reactions, products, extractions, and separations that require the use of organic solvents. These solvents are responsible for a number of ecological concerns, including atmospheric and land toxicity. Conventional organic solvents are regarded as volatile organic compounds; some are even limited due to their potential for ozone layer depletion. While supercritical liquids exhibit physical properties that could make them ideal substitutes for these volatile compounds, there is particular interest in the use of carbon dioxide as a solvent of crude material. In particular, carbon dioxide has apparent ‘green’ properties, like its noncombustible nature, the fact that it is generally nonpoisonous, and its relative inertness. Thus, the use of supercritical carbon dioxide can provide practical improvements to the sustainability of industrial products and processes. This book provides in-depth literature in the area of industrial green processes, focusing on the separation, purification, and extraction of compounds utilizing supercritical carbon dioxide as a green solvent.
Ponti/Ponts est une revue en libre accès révisée par des pairs, qui se veut un haut lieu de rendez-vous des cultures francophones: du Québec et du Canada à l’Afrique subsaharienne, de la Belgique aux Caraïbes, du Maghreb à la Suisse et au Val d’Aoste, aux autres îles francophones dispersées partout dans le monde, toute la francophonie est conviée à cette rencontre, qui en est une de connaissance, de reconnaissance, de confrontation.Chaque numéro de la revue, qui paraît une fois par an, présente des études critiques, des textes de création et un vaste répertoire de notes de lecture concernant les œuvres linguistiques, littéraires, culturelles des différents espaces francophones. Les essais critiques et les textes de création sont réunis dans un dossier thématique, qui peut inclure aussi des études linguistiques; celles-ci peuvent porter même sur des sujets libres.
O Projeto Voa - Concurso Literário para a Maturidade é voltado para pessoas de 45 anos ou mais, e que visa ao compartilhamento de experiências estéticas, valendo-se da literatura como uma das linguagens do/para o envelhecimento saudável. A premiação para cada autor e autora selecionado é a publicação de seu conto em um livro digital, de circulação nacional, e de acesso totalmente gratuito. O Projeto Voa incentiva a participação de pessoas da maturidade de áreas rurais, urbanas, quilombolas, indígenas, negras e LGBTQIA+. Coordenação: Prof. Renato Cabral Rezende e Prof. Margô Karnikowski
La colección interdisciplinaria Estudios de la Orinoquia y la Amazonia busca generar conocimiento, fomentar la discusión académica y asumir alternativas de solución a problemas regionales en la Orinoquia y la Amazonia. Si la Orinoquia y la Amazonia son territorios especiales por su abandono histórico y ellos constituyen una región única, deben tener un tratamiento especial que facilite su desarrollo y promueva el acceso al conocimiento científico y a los bienes producidos en el mundo desarrollado con el respeto a las poblaciones ancestrales y a las culturas regionales. En este segundo volumen se encuentran trabajos relacionados con las ciencias sociales y humanas en estas regiones. S...
Exhibition of close to 40 art deco pieces (tapestries, furniture, etc.), paintings, sculptures, relieves and other objects collected since the 1960's and now part of the Leirner house. Highlights of the collection include: Furniture, tapestries and paintings by John Graz (Switzerland 1891-Sao Paulo, 1980), and his wife Regina Gomide Graz (1897-1973), beautiful tapestries, furniture and wood sculptures by Cássio M'Boy (1896 -1986), caricatures by J. Carlos (Jose Carlos de Brito e Cunha), drawings by Cicero Diaz and many more
Essential oils have recently received much attention globally due to the increased use of essential oils as well as the positive impacts from economic backgrounds. New compounds of essential oils have been discovered from medicinal plants and used in anti-disease treatment as well as in most houses as a source of natural flavor. This book covers some interesting research topics for essential oils, including identification of active ingredients from wild and medicinal plants. This book will add significant value for researchers, academics, and students in the field of medicine.
