Download or read book Advances in Chemical Engineering written by Zeeshan Nawaz and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2012-03-23 with total page 598 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chemical engineering applications have been a source of challenging optimization problems in terms of economics and technology. The goal of this book is to enable the reader to get instant information on fundamentals and advancements in chemical engineering. This book addresses ongoing evolutions of chemical engineering and provides overview to the sate of the art advancements. Molecular perspective is increasingly important in the refinement of kinetic and thermodynamic molding. As a result, much of the material was revised on industrial problems and their sophisticated solutions from known scientists around the world. These issues were divided in to two sections, fundamental advances and catalysis and reaction engineering. A distinct feature of this text continues to be the emphasis on molecular chemistry, reaction engineering and modeling to achieve rational and robust industrial design. Our perspective is that this background must be made available to undergraduate, graduate and professionals in an integrated manner.

This book was released on 2016-11-15 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has become more evident that many microalgae respond very differently than land plants to diverse stimuli. Therefore, we cannot reduce microalgae biology to what we have learned from land plants biology. However, we are still at the beginning of a comprehensive understanding of microalgae biology. Microalgae have been posited several times as prime candidates for the development of sustainable energy platforms, making thus the in-depth understanding of their biological features an important objective. Thus, the knowledge related to the basics of microalgae biology must be acquired and shared rapidly, fostering the development of potential applications. Microalgae biology has been studied for more than forty years now and more intensely since the 1970’s, when genetics and molecular biology approaches were integrated into the research programs. Recently, studies on the molecular physiology of microalgae have provided evidences on the particularities of these organisms, mainly in model species, such as Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Of note, cellular responses in microalgae produce very interesting phenotypes, such as high lipid content in nitrogen deprived cells, increased protein content in cells under high CO2 concentrations, the modification of flagella structure and motility in basal body mutant strains, the different ancient proteins that microalgae uses to dissipate the harmful excess of light energy, the hydrogen production in cells under sulfur deprivation, to mention just a few. Moreover, several research groups are using high-throughput and data-driven technologies, including “omics” approaches to investigate microalgae cellular responses at a system-wide level, revealing new features of microalgae biology, highlighting differences between microalgae and land plants. It has been amazing to observe the efforts towards the development and optimization of new technologies required for the proper study of microalgae, including methods that opened new paths to the investigation of important processes such as regulatory mechanisms, signaling crosstalk, chemotactic mechanisms, light responses, chloroplast controlled mechanisms, among others. This is an exciting moment in microalgae research when novel data are been produced and applied by research groups from different areas, such as bioprocesses and biotechnology. Moreover, there has been an increased amount of research groups focused in the study of microalgae as a sustainable source for bioremediation, synthesis of bioproducts and development of bioenergy. Innovative strategies are combining the knowledge of basic sciences on microalgae into their applied processes, resulting in the progression of many applications that hopefully, will achieve the necessary degree of optimization for economically feasible large-scale applications. Advances on the areas of basic microalgae biology and novelties on the essential cellular processes were revealed. Progress in the applied science showed the use of the basic science knowledge into fostering translational research, proposing novel strategies for a sustainable world scenario. In this present e-book, articles presented by research groups from different scientific areas showed, successfully, the increased development of the microalgae research. Herewith, you will find articles ranging from bioprospecting regional microalgae species, through advances in microalgae molecular physiology to the development of techniques for characterization of biomass and the use of biomass into agriculture and bioenergy production. This e-book is an excellent source of knowledge for those working with microalgae basic and applied sciences, and a great opportunity for researchers from both areas to have an overview of the amazing possibilities we have for building an environmentally sustainable future once the knowledge is translated into novel applications.
Download or read book Development of Marine Resources written by Patrick Prouzet and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-12-15 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marine resources and their exploitation, recovery and economic networks they generate are here from the perspective now inevitable growing environmental constraints, policy management and technical innovation. A historical perspective shows that Ocean and its adjacent seas at all times, allowed coastal communities to adapt to a very volatile environment through many technological changes. The recent development of marine biotechnology , the discovery of a great pharmacopoeia especially in reef environments , the development of marine renewables , are examples which show that man can develop through these new technologies property and services of the ocean. But this development resources under pressure of global change requires not only taking into account technical, but also social and political. This is the price that the analysis of maritime activities will assess the sustainability and development of various economic sectors and coastal populations, faced with the objectives of a "blue growth" associated with a return to the "good state "of the marine environment.
Download or read book Toxines et cancer written by GOUDEY-PERRIÈRE Françoise and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2006-11-26 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: De tout temps, l'homme a eu conscience de l'intérêt thérapeutique des toxines. Certaines toxines végétales depuis longtemps utilisées figurent encore dans la pharmacopée actuelle. Viennent s'y ajouter depuis peu des toxines microbiennes. Cependant le maniement des toxines natives ou à peine modifiées reste délicat tant est faible la marge entre les effets toxiques et l'efficacité thérapeutique. Comment, dans une perspective médicale, canaliser la puissance d'action et l'efficacité d'une toxine ? Connaître sa structure, comprendre son mécanisme d'action n'est pas suffisant : il faut aussi identifier sa cible privilégiée, autrement dit un récepteur cellulaire, faute de quoi l'entreprise apparemment chimérique d'un détournement de sa puissance et de sa spécificité reste aveugle. Ce cap est franchi, depuis un certain nombre d'années, et le développement des recherches sur les toxines axées sur la thérapeutique est devenu foisonnant. Voyez telle ou telle toxine protéique ternaire, avec ses trois domaines, de fixation sur un récepteur membranaire, de translocation qui lui permet de franchir la membrane cellulaire, et d'activité enzymatique qui va alors pouvoir s'exercer dans la cellule. Qu'on parvienne à dissocier chacun de ces trois domaines en leur conservant leurs propriétés, et des possibilités nouvelles d'utilisation thérapeutique vont s'ouvrir, presque à l'infini semble-t-il. Car chacun d'entre eux pourra être couplé à une molécule active bien ciblée, et leur efficacité sera même améliorée pour peu qu'on parvienne à conjuguer leur action. Qu'un récepteur, qu'une molécule, propres au métabolisme ou à la physiologie d'une cellule cancéreuse soient identifiés, et des toxines conjuguées à un ligand de ce récepteur, de cette molécule (ce peut être un anticorps) bloqueront les canaux ioniques ou exerceront leur effet cytolytique sur cette seule cellule, sans nuire aux cellules saines. Nous voilà dégagés de l'utopie, le contenu de cet ouvrage le prouve abondamment. Et même si la concrétisation des promesses reste délicate, le champ d'action est si vaste initialement qu'il ne saurait rester improductif : il ne l'est d'ailleurs déjà plus.
