Modelling and Simulation of Diffusive Processes
This book addresses the key issues in the modeling and simulation of diffusive processes from a wide spectrum of different applications across a broad range of disciplines. Features: discusses diffusion and molecular transport in living cells and suspended sediment in open channels; examines the modeling of peristaltic transport of nanofluids, and isotachophoretic separation of ionic samples in microfluidics; reviews thermal characterization of non-homogeneous media and scale-dependent porous dispersion resulting from velocity fluctuations; describes the modeling of nitrogen fate and transport at the sediment-water interface and groundwater flow in unconfined aquifers; investigates two-dimensional solute transport from a varying pulse type point source and futile cycles in metabolic flux modeling; studies contaminant concentration prediction along unsteady groundwater flow and modeling synovial fluid flow in human joints; explores the modeling of soil organic carbon and crop growth simulation.
The Theory of Collusion and Competition Policy
A review of the theoretical research on unlawful collusion, focusing on the impact and optimal design of competition law and enforcement. Collusion occurs when firms in a market coordinate their behavior for the purpose of producing a supracompetitive outcome. The literature on the theory of collusion is deep and broad but most of that work does not take account of the possible illegality of collusion. Recently, there has been a growing body of research that explicitly focuses on collusion that runs afoul of competition law and thereby makes firms potentially liable for penalties. This book, by an expert on the subject, reviews the theoretical research on unlawful collusion, with a focus on ...
The One Legged:
The Bad Seed meets We Need to Talk about Kevin in this gripping psychological thriller set in rural India with a shocking horror twist. Praise for Sakyajit Bhattacharya The novella doesn’t just problematize the lore of Ekanore that seeks to hide the true nature of reality from children. It also calls into question another, even stronger, (mis)conception: children are the emblem of innocence. Though this myth is more than just wishful thinking, it blinds us to the complexity of children, leaving us unprepared for the rude shocks they can give us. - Scroll.in Longlisted for the JCB Prize for Literature 2024, The One Legged has a fascinating aftertaste that lingers long in memory. However, fo...
Soil Science: Fundamentals to Recent Advances
This compilation has been designed to provide a comprehensive source of theoretical and practical update for scientists working in the broad field of soil science. The book explores all possible mechanisms and means to improve nutrient use efficiencies involving developing and testing of nanofertilizers, developing consortia based microbial formulations for mobilization of soil nutrients, and engineering of nutrient efficient crops using molecular biology and biotechnological tools. This is an all-inclusive collection of information about soil science. This book is of interest to teachers, researchers, soil scientists, capacity builders and policymakers. Also the book serves as additional reading material for undergraduate and graduate students of soil science, quantitative ecology, earth sciences, GIS and geodetic sciences, as well as geologists, geomorphologists, hydrologists and landscape ecology. National and international agriculture and soil scientists, policy makers will also find this to be a useful read.
Nanotechnology for Sustainable Agriculture, Food and Environment
Nanotechnology has the potential to drastically transform the agri-food sector with its significant applications to improve agricultural productivity and the efficiency of agrochemicals. The food sector has benefitted from the inclusion of nanoparticles in food matrixes and the nanoencapsulation of nutraceuticals. Smart packaging materials designed with the help of nanotechnology have been used for increasing the shelf life of stored food products. Nanomaterials have been extensively used for the delivery of important agrochemicals to enhance their bioefficacy, prevent their degradation, and control their release. Various nanomaterials have been explored for remediation of arising environmen...
Streets in Motion
Studies Calcutta's 20th century features through the dialectic of motion and obstruction, analysing how space and polity shaped each other.
Eco-Restoration of Polluted Environment
The book Eco-Restoration of the Polluted Environment: A Biological Perspective explores recent advances in biological strategies for the remediation of polluted environments, including soil, water, and air. It covers bioremediation of heavy metals, radioactive waste, and waste gases, which are believed to be bottleneck problems for researchers working in this field. The book contains separate chapters on genetic engineering technology for enhancement of the bioremediation potential of bioresources and the role of biosurfactants, enzymes, and exo-polysaccharides for bioremediation of polluted environments, along with basic aspects of eco-restoration by microorganisms. It summarizes the signif...
Sustainable Management of Environmental Pollutants through Phytoremediation
Traditional remedial technologies can be cost-prohibitive and sometimes contribute to environmental contamination themselves. In order to better manage the issues of global pollution, phytoremediation, a plant-based cleanup method, has gained attention as an efficient, affordable, and environmentally sustainable alternative to traditional remedial technologies for the cleanup of a variety of hazardous pollutants. The demand for advanced technologies having potential to sustainably manage waste and pollutants in the environment will help to continue the quest for more novel treatment methods. Sustainable Management of Environmental Pollutants through Phytoremediation discusses all the aspects of sustainable environmental management through phytoremediation, making it a valuable resource for both academics and researchers in developing and developed countries. Examines technology advancements made toward the recycling and management of waste. Designed in a way to cover scientific principles, modeling and methods, designs, and reference data. Discusses the utilization of waste for renewable energy for economic growth and further social benefits.
Building for People
In Building for People, architect and ecodistrict planner Michael Eliason makes the case for low-carbon ecodistricts and presents practical tools for developing these residential and mixed-use communities. As cities turn brownfields into green fields and look to maximize public investment in transit and infrastructure, ecodistricts are the answer. Eliason shows that this type of affordable, climate-adaptive living option is possible anywhere. Full-color photos and illustrations show what is possible in ecodistricts through examples around the world. Looking at small districts like Steingau in Kirchheim unter Teck, to massive urban redevelopment like Vienna's Sonnwendviertel and Seestadt-Aspern as models, Eliason argues that building regulations and planning processes in the US must change to make these livable neighborhoods possible. Building for People shows professionals involved in regulating, planning, or designing our communities that high-quality, low-carbon living is within reach.
