Perfluoroalkyl Substances in the Environment Theory Practice and Innovation

Perfluoroalkyl Substances in the Environment Theory Practice and Innovation

Per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) often referred to as per- (and poly) fluorinated compounds (PFCs) have been used for years in many everyday¾ and some lifesaving¾ products. However their use has been linked to adverse health effects in humans a problem compounded by their persistence in the environment. This book discusses the various challenges of PFAS in our environment today including their historical use as well as their chemical and toxicological properties. It also presents robust discussion of analytical challenges and special considerations in sampling. The work goes on to give practical recommendations for dealing with these compounds in today's dynamic regulatory landscape and includes several chapters on various remediation techniques. Key Features: Comprehensive overview of per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) historical use and chemical/physical properties which help us understand their persistence transport and transformation pathways in the environment In-depth analysis of PFAS toxicology Detailed descriptions of conventional and state-of-the-art remediation technologies Practical recommendations for dealing with PFAS in a dynamic regulatory landscape Robust discussion of important sampling and analytical considerations Perfluoroalkyl Substances in the Environment: Theory Practice and Innovation explores the challenges across the topical areas of regulation and management toxicology environmental remediation and analytical sampling and analysis. Readers will find this text helpful in understanding complexities associated with PFAS and informing management strategies to effectively protect this and future generations. | Perfluoroalkyl Substances in the Environment Theory Practice and Innovation

LeanSpeak The Productivity Business Improvement Dictionary

LeanSpeak The Productivity Business Improvement Dictionary

This dictionary specific to lean business processes contains over 500 terms used in lean management and manufacturing. Easy to access accurate and comprehensive LeanSpeak will become the desktop tool of choice for lean manufacturing practitioners from the shop floor to the corner office. Here are some examples of entries in LeanSpeak:gemba: Japanese word of which the literal translation is the real place. In the manufacturing field gemba means the shop floor where the actual product is being made as contrasted to the office where support services are provided. lean: shorthand to refer to a lean manufacturing system of which the Toyota Production System is the foremost example that has relatively little non-value-adding waste and maximum flow. The term has been used pejoratively to refer to anti-labor practices intending to reduce the number of workers within a company and to strong-arm tactics with suppliers. takt time: the rate at which product must be turned out to satisfy market demand. It is determined by dividing the available production time by the rate of customer demand. For example if customers demand 240 widgets per day and the factory operates 480 minutes per day takt time is two minutes. If customers want two new products designed per month takt time is two weeks. It is a calculated number not a reflection of your capability. It sets the pace of production to match the rate of customer demand. Also available as an ebook in Microsoft Reader Adobe Acrobat Reader or Palm Reader formats. | LeanSpeak The Productivity Business Improvement Dictionary

Design Operation and Control of Insect-Rearing Systems Science Technology and Infrastructure

Design Operation and Control of Insect-Rearing Systems Science Technology and Infrastructure

Design Operation and Control of Insect-Rearing Systems: Science Technology and Infrastructure explains the fundamental components of insect rearing: 1) the rearing systems per se 2) personnel 3) education of rearing personnel 4) communication of procedures 5) an in-depth look at silkworm rearing 5) facilities where rearing is conducted and 6) funding for all these components. Insect rearing serves a wide array of purposes including research pest control by sterile insect technique and biological control production of insects as food for other animals conservation education and even far-reaching technology where insects are used to produce products such as pharmaceutical materials and strong multipurpose textiles. This book surveys and analyzes insect rearing from a scientific and technology-based approach. At its foundation this approach assumes that rearing systems are complex interactions of components that can be understood and controlled by using a mechanistic approach. Author Allen Carson Cohen explains the infrastructure of rearing systems their current status and character and what kind of changes can be made to improve the field of insect rearing. Two Appendices republish out-of-print monographs that provide fascinating historical context to the development of the insect-rearing systems we have today. | Design Operation and Control of Insect-Rearing Systems Science Technology and Infrastructure

Genome Editing in Plants Principles and Applications

Genome Editing in Plants Principles and Applications

Genome Editing in Plants: Principles and Applications addresses the information of genome editing starting from principles and historical aspects to the latest advancements in the field. As genome-editing technology has emerged as promising and cutting edge researchers around the world have started producing original research outputs which have significantly improved our current understanding and potential of this technology. The initial chapters of this book describe different genome-editing tools as well as their principles and applications. Other chapters are dedicated to the present status and future applications of genome-editing techniques in various crop improvement programmes. Some of the advanced applications of CRISPR/Cas tools such as base editing and RNA detection along with regulatory aspects of genome-edited crops are described in detail. This book serves as a valuable resource to researchers in the field of crop improvement; graduate and postgraduate students engaged in plant molecular biology and biotechnology; academicians; and policy makers. Key Features: Addresses topics associated with historical development and principles of genome-editing technology Addresses basic mechanisms operating under each genome-editing technology Addresses its application in plants to design crops as per the current and future demands Addresses the regulatory mechanisms of genome-edited crops | Genome Editing in Plants Principles and Applications

Connecting Africa and Asia Afrasia as a Benign Community

Connecting Africa and Asia Afrasia as a Benign Community

By 2100 more than 80 per cent of the world’s population is expected to live in Afrasia (Africa and Asia). This book draws lessons from history provides a new cognitive map of the world and discusses multiple challenges global citizens will face in the age of Afrasia an emerging macro-region. The centre of gravity of the world is shifting. Whether the world can manage a soft landing into sustainable equilibrium depends on the nature of the dialogue people in Africa and Asia will organise. The author argues that a state of equilibrium between the two is achievable provided issues related to gender employment agriculture human–nature relationships and multicultural coexistence are simultaneously addressed. Can future Afrasia present itself as a community determined not to allow the return of predatory practice internally and externally? Will the fates of African and Asian peoples converge or diverge? How about the future relationships between Afrasia and the rest of the world? Exploring these questions using multiple disciplines this book will be of interest to professional researchers and graduate students in IR and Afro-Asian relations as well as Asian and African area studies demography geography history development economics anthropology language education and religious studies.
