Managing the Risks of Extreme Events and Disasters to Advance Climate Change Adaptation
Extreme weather and climate events, interacting with exposed and vulnerable human and natural systems, can lead to disasters. This Special Report explores the social as well as physical dimensions of weather- and climate-related disasters, considering opportunities for managing risks at local to international scales. SREX was approved and accepted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) on 18 November 2011 in Kampala, Uganda.
Enological Repercussions of Non-Saccharomyces Species 2.0
The use of non-Saccharomyces yeast species is currently a biotechnology trend in enology for which they are being broadly used to improve the sensory profile of wines because they affect aroma, color, and mouthfeel. They have become a powerful biotool to modulate the influence of global warming on grape varieties, helping to maintain the acidity, decrease the alcoholic degree, stabilize wine color, and increase freshness. In cool climates, some non-Saccharomyces can promote demalication or color stability by the formation of stable derived pigments. Additionally, non-Saccharomyces yeasts open new possibilities in biocontrol for removing spoilage yeast and bacteria or molds that can produce and release mycotoxins and, thereby, help in reducing applied SO2 levels.
La edad como factor de vulnerabilidad en las relaciones laborales
La edad como factor de vulnerabilidad en las relaciones laborales. Esta monografía aborda el estudio de la discriminación por razón de edad que sufren las personas maduras en las relaciones laborales. El derecho a la igualdad y no discriminación es consustancial al Derecho del Trabajo. Con todo, tal derecho fundamental no siempre resulta garantizado. Las trabas comienzan cuando, cumplida cierta edad, y dados los estereotipos negativos asociados a esta, el trabajador maduro se enfrenta a la modulación o degradación de ciertas condiciones laborales. Incluso, tal percepción peyorativa de la madurez puede conducir a la pérdida del empleo. Ya en paro, la edad se erige en el obstáculo, en...
Handbook of Microalgae-Based Processes and Products
The Handbook of Microalgae-based Processes and Products provides a complete overview of all aspects involved in the production and utilization of microalgae resources at commercial scale. Divided into four parts (fundamentals, microalgae-based processes, microalgae-based products, and engineering approaches applied to microalgal processes and products), the book explores the microbiology and metabolic aspects of microalgae, microalgal production systems, wastewater treatment based in microalgae, CO2 capture using microalgae, microalgae harvesting techniques, and extraction and purification of biomolecules from microalgae. It covers the largest number of microalgal products of commercial rele...
Making Medicines in Early Colonial Lima, Peru
Based on extensive archival research in Peru, Spain, and Italy, Making Medicines in Early Colonial Lima, Peru examines how apothecaries in Lima were trained, ran their businesses, traded medicinal products, prepared medicines, and found their place in society. In the book, Newson argues that apothecaries had the potential to be innovators in science, especially in the New World where they encountered new environments and diverse healing traditions. However, it shows that despite experimental tendencies among some apothecaries, they generally adhered to traditional humoral practices and imported materia medica from Spain rather than adopt native plants or exploit the region’s rich mineral resources. This adherence was not due to state regulation, but reflected the entrenchment of humoral beliefs in popular thought and their promotion by the Church and Inquisition.
Muslims of Medieval Latin Christendom, c.1050–1614
An innovative study which explores how the presence of Muslim communities transformed Europe and stimulated Christian society to define itself.
