Condition-Based Maintenance and Residual Life Prediction is essential for those looking to effectively implement condition-based maintenance strategies and enhance fault detection through a comprehensive understanding of vibration data analysis and residual life prediction, addressing key challenges in the field. Issues related to condition-based maintenance include its high initial cost, new techniques that can be difficult to implement due to resistance, older equipment that can be difficult to retrofit with sensors and monitoring equipment, and difficult-to-access equipment during production that is difficult to spot-measure. Keeping the above issues in mind, a general handbook for condit...
Emerging contaminants (ECs) are predominantly unregulated anthropogenic chemicals that occur in air, soil, water, food, and plant/animal tissues in trace concentrations. ECs are persistent in the environment, capable of perturbing the physiology of target receptors and, therefore, are increasingly regarded as a subject of concern. This volume aims to enhance understanding of emerging contaminants’ effects on plants and the environment and to highlight and address the need of sustainable and eco-friendly approaches in mitigating and remediating the effects of ECs. The book comprises chapters from diverse areas dealing with biotechnology, microbial technology, nanotechnology, molecular biology, remediation, and more. This volume will be useful to remediation practitioners, researchers, regulators and graduate students.
The deep sea, a vast and largely unexplored frontier, harbors intricate ecosystems that play a critical role in maintaining the health of our planet. However, deep sea mining and climate change pose significant threats to these fragile ecosystems. Through interdisciplinary research and advocacy, scientists and environmentalists are working to better understand the complexities of these ecosystems and the impacts of human activities. By raising awareness and influencing decision-makers, this work is essential in ensuring the protection of the deep sea and its vital role in regulating global climate and supporting marine life. Technological Advancements for Deep Sea Ecosystem Conservation and ...

This book masterfully blends fiction and non-fiction, mirroring a world inching toward destruction amid escalating conflicts. Nations are racing to build nuclear weapons, driven by ego, malice, and territorial disputes, threatening the very civilization that took millennia to create. Humanity now faces the looming shadow of another world war, where nuclear devastation could strike at any moment. Yet, this story offers a solution: the unity of humankind through love, the only path to lasting peace. The author weaves a profound love story that transcends narrow beliefs and urges society to turn away from violence. It’s a call for global awakening against the misuse of science for destruction. Love is shown as the ultimate force to guide us from darkness to light, and once readers begin, they’ll find it impossible to put down. My heartfelt wishes to readers for choosing a work destined to be among the world's best.
