Over the past few decades there has been a prolific increase in research and development in area of heat transfer, heat exchangers and their associated technologies. This book is a collection of current research in the above mentioned areas and discusses experimental, theoretical and calculation approaches and industrial utilizations with modern ideas and methods to study heat transfer for single and multiphase systems. The topics considered include various basic concepts of heat transfer, the fundamental modes of heat transfer (namely conduction, convection and radiation), thermophysical properties, condensation, boiling, freezing, innovative experiments, measurement analysis, theoretical m...
The present book focuses on advancement in the application of heterogeneous catalytic materials for the dehydrogenative synthesis of valuable organic compounds from substrates such as alcohols and simple aliphatic compounds. Several heterogeneous transition metals-based catalytic materials are explored for the synthesis of valuable chemicals for industrial applications. The book provides insight into the application of state-of-the-art technology for energy utilization and clean chemical synthesis. Features: Offers a wide overview of dehydrogenation catalytic chemistry catalyzed by transition metals and their compounds. Helps design novel and more benign and uncomplicated protocols for the s...
Biofuels are promising eco-friendly, renewable energy alternatives, simultaneously curbing the dependence on depleting fossil fuel reserves, reducing the global carbon footprint. However, there have been technological constraints deterring the global wide-scale adoption of biofuel. Biofuels: Scientific Explorations and Technologies for a Sustainable Environment presents a comprehensive analysis of different types of biofuels. Five sections provide detailed information on the history and discovery of biofuels, first-generation biofuels, second-generation biofuels, third-generation biofuels, and beyond, as well as prospects of biofuels as cleaner and greener alternatives. FEATURES Introduces t...

SPBEI 2013 aims to be an excellent platform to facilitate international exchange of state-ofthe- art research and practice in image, video, and signal processing, biomedical engineering, informatics, and their cross-intersection to catalyze innovative research ideas and to dissimilate new scientific discoveries. The nature of the research demands collaboration in medicine, biology, physics, engineering, computer science, and statistics; and SPBEI attempts to expedite and strengthen the exploration and systemization of interdisciplinary knowledge. This year, the conference received a large number of submissions around the globe, and all papers have been rigorously reviewed by a large number of peer reviewers who have spent tremendous amount of time and effort on the evaluations, with each paper receiving three to six reviews. We would like to thank all those who submitted papers for considerations, and we extend our sincere gratitude to all those who devoted their time and effort professionally to ensuring the high standards of the technical program, including the authors, committee members, peer reviewers, and session chairs.
Global food security is increasingly challenging in light of population increase, the impact of climate change on crop production, and limited land available for agricultural expansion. Plant breeding and other agricultural technologies have contributed considerably for food and nutritional security over the last few decades. Genetic engineering approaches are powerful tools that we have at our disposal to overcome substantial obstacles in the way of efficiency and productivity of current agricultural practices. Genome engineering via CRISPR/Cas9, Cpf1, base editing and prime editing, and OMICs through genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, phenomics, an metabolomics have helped to discover ...
Gene delivery is a transport of genes of therapeutic values into the chromosomes of the cells or tissues which can be targeted to replace the faulty genes. In last two decades lot of research efforts are dedicated to gene delivery for therapeutic applications. Today gene therapy is promising approach in treatment of genetic diseases including mitochondrial related diseases like blindness, muscular dystrophy, cystic fibrosis, and some cancers. Gene Delivery Systems: Nano Delivery Technologies observes the exploration of nanotechnology for gene therapy and gene delivery. Written by prominent authors in the field, this book covers various aspects of gene delivery including challenges in deliver...
