Biopharmaceuticals are emerging as frontline medicines to combat several life-threatening and chronic diseases. However, such medicines are expensive to develop and produce on a commercial scale, contributing to rising healthcare costs. Developability of Biotherapeutics: Computational Approaches describes applications of computational and molecular
Environmental Nexus Approach: Management of Water, Waste, and Soil establishes linkages between environmental resources, such as water, waste, and soil, in order to facilitate sustainable management of these resources. It shows the nexus approach as a policy-relevant means of environmental management by focusing on integrated management of water, waste, and soil resources. It synthesizes interdisciplinary theory, concepts, definitions, models, and findings involved in complex global sustainability problem-solving, making it an essential guide and reference. It includes real-world examples and applications making the book accessible to a broader interdisciplinary readership. Features: Explore...
Sustainable Management of Agro-Food Waste: Fundamental Aspects and Practical Applications provides insights into the latest approaches for optimizing waste produced by these industries. Bioconversion of agro-food waste is a significant concern for maintaining the ecosystem. This book covers current research into the production of a variety of bioactive compounds, bioenergy resources, and nanomaterials using potential microbes associated widely with the industry's waste. With primary focus on the microbial enzymes, secondary metabolites, single cell protein, bioethanol, biohydrogen, bio-fortified compost, bioelectricity, and nanomaterial's, the book presents a range of biotechnological approa...
When you’re young, you believe life only gets better as you age. You wait to reach a certain milestone and eagerly dive into anticipated rights of passage. Life is carefree when you’re young… or so you’ve been led to believe. The Brutal Truths About Life offers a perspective you might not have fathomed, but, unfortunately, in our world, what you’re about to read is the no-holds barred reality of what a life well-lived actually entails. What you’ll discover by reading this book includes some of the most important lessons you’ll ever learn in life like: 1) Life isn’t fair. 2) Some people simply won’t like you. 3) You can’t please everyone. 4) Perfection should never be the ...
Agriculture faces many challenges to fulfil the growing demand for sustainable food production and ensure high-quality nutrition for a rapidly growing population. To guarantee adequate food production, it is necessary to increase the yield per area of arable land. A method for achieving this goal has been the application of growth regulators to modulate plant growth. Plant growth regulators (PGRs) are substances in specific formulations which, when applied to plants or seeds, have the capacity to promote, inhibit, or modify physiological traits, development and/or stress responses. They maintain proper balance between source and sink for enhancing crop yield. PGRs are used to maximize produc...
Soil organic carbon (SOC), a key component of the global carbon (C) pool, plays an important role in C cycling, regulating climate, water supplies and biodiversity, and therefore in providing the ecosystem services that are essential to human well-being. Most agricultural soils in temperate regions have now lost as much as 60% of their SOC, and as much as 75% in tropical regions, due to conversion from natural ecosystems to agricultural uses and mainly due to continuous soil degradation. Sequestering C can help to offset C emissions from fossil fuel combustion and other C-emitting activities, while also enhancing soil quality and long-term agronomic productivity. However, developing effectiv...
Making decisions is something we do all the time. We decide what we’re going to wear for the day, what we’re going to eat and make so many other large and small decisions from moment to moment. Decision-making is how we survive, but just because we do already do it doesn’t necessarily mean we have the skills or fortitude to Make Better Decisions. Sound decisions that are aligned with our values, hopes, dreams, and aspirations require more than a rote response. What we fail to understand are the fundamentals of making the right decision for ourselves, and in some cases, those who depend on us for some of life’s most important decisions. Make Better Decisions provides a road map to sho...
In the computer science industry, high levels of performance remain the focal point in software engineering. This quest has made current systems exceedingly complex, as practitioners strive to discover novel approaches to increase the capabilities of modern computer structures. A prevalent area of research in recent years is scalable transaction processing and its usage in large databases and cloud computing. Despite its popularity, there remains a need for significant research in the understanding of scalability and its performance within distributed databases. Handling Priority Inversion in Time-Constrained Distributed Databases provides emerging research exploring the theoretical and practical aspects of database transaction processing frameworks and improving their performance using modern technologies and algorithms. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics such as consistency mechanisms, real-time systems, and replica management, this book is ideally designed for IT professionals, computing specialists, developers, researchers, data engineers, executives, academics, and students seeking research on current trends and developments in distributed computing and databases.
