Chemical additives are used to enhance the properties of many industrial products. Since their release into the environment is a potential risk for man and nature, their fate and behavior were investigated in the framework of the European Union-funded project RISKCYCLE. The results are presented in two volumes, Global Risk-Based Management of Chemical Additives I: Production, Usage and Environmental Occurrence and Global Risk-Based Management of Chemical Additives II: Risk-Based Assessment and Management Strategies. This book is the first of the two volumes and contains two main parts. The chapters of the first part provide a thorough review of the chemical additives used in the textile, plastics, lubricants, paper, leather and electronics industries, and describe the effect of each additive on the properties of the product. In the second part international case studies on the global trade of these chemicals and their impact on human health and the environment are presented. This volume is an invaluable source of information for scientists and governmental agencies dealing with the risk assessment of chemicals on a global scale.
This volume comprises the select peer-reviewed proceedings of the International Conference on Advances and Applications of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning 2022 (ICAAAIML 2022). It aims to provide a comprehensive and broad-spectrum picture of state-of-the-art research and development in the areas of artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, and their advanced applications in computer vision and blockchain. It also covers research in core concepts of computers, intelligent system design and deployment, real-time systems, WSN, sensors and sensor nodes, software engineering, image processing, and cloud computing. This volume will provide a valuable resource for those in academia and industry.
This book presents the future directions of the digital economy post Covid-19 era. The chapters of this book cover contemporary topics on digital economy and digital initiatives undertaken by various organizations. Overall, the book shares insights on how organizations can adapt and transform their processes, structure, and strategies to remain relevant and competitive in the new business and economic environment. These insights also emerge from multidisciplinary discussions in various management domains, such as, consumer behaviour and marketing, economics, finance and accounting, entrepreneurship and small business management, environmental, social and governance compliance, future of work, human resource management, leadership, inclusive workforce, information systems and decision sciences, international business and strategy, and operations and supply chain management.
The understanding of chemokines, the proteins that control the migration of cells, and their receptors, is critical to the study of causes and therapies for a wide range of human diseases and infections, including certain types of cancer, inflammatory diseases, HIV, and malaria. This volume, focusing on chemokine structure and function, as well as signaling, and its companion volume (Methods in Enzymology volume 461, focusing on chemokines as potential targets for disease intervention) provide a comprehensive overview and time-tested protocols in this field, making it an essential reference for researchers in the area. - Along with its companion volume, provides a comprehensive overview of chemokine methods, specifically as related to potential disease therapy - Gathers tried, tested, and trusted methods and techniques from top players in chemokine research - Provides an essential reference for researchers in the field
This book represents the proceedings of the First International Conference on Frontiers of Polymer Research held in New Delhi, India during January 20-25, 1991. Polymers have usually been perceived as substances to be used in insulations, coatings, fabrics, and structural materials. Defying this classical view, polymers are emerging as a new class of materials with potential applications in many new technologies. They also offer challenging opportunities for fundamental research. Recognizing a tremendous growth in world wide interest in polymer research and technology, a truly global "1st International Conference on Frontiers of Polymer Research" was organized by P. N. Prasad (SUNY at Buffal...
This book gives a comprehensive overview of the rapidly evolving field of three-dimensional (3D) printing, and its increasing applications in the biomedical domain. 3D printing has distinct advantages like improved quality, cost-effectiveness, and higher efficiency compared to traditional manufacturing processes. Besides these advantages, current challenges and opportunities regarding choice of material, design, and efficiency are addressed in the book. Individual chapters also focus on select areas of applications such as surgical guides, tissue regeneration, artificial scaffolds and implants, and drug delivery and release. This book will be a valuable source of information for researchers and professionals interested in the expanding biomedical applications of 3D printing.
In the last 50 years, classical breeding has played a significant role in achieving higher crop productivity, but major crops have reached a plateau in their yield potential. Therefore, the current focus for sustainable intensification of agriculture is the use of biotechnological approaches to enhance the yield potential by combating the yield losses that occur due to abiotic stresses. The abiotic stresses are governed by multigenes, and therefore, a holistic approach is needed to get success in imparting stress tolerance to enhance the yield potential of our crops. Plants face multiple stress conditions during their life stages and adopt several physiological, biochemical, and molecular st...
