Download or read book Nanoscale Zerovalent Iron Particles for Environmental Restoration written by Tanapon Phenrat and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-01-31 with total page 611 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first complete edited volume devoted to providing comprehensive and state-of-the art descriptions of science principles and pilot- and field-scaled engineering applications of nanoscale zerovalent iron particles (NZVI) for soil and groundwater remediation. Although several books on environmental nanotechnology contain chapters of NZVI for environmental remediation (Wiesner and Bottero (2007); Geiger and Carvalho-Knighton (2009); Diallo et al. (2009); Ram et al. (2011)), none of them include a comprehensive treatment of the fundamental and applied aspects of NZVI applications. Most devote a chapter or two discussing a contemporary aspect of NZVI. In addition, environmental nanotechnology has a broad audience including environmental engineers and scientists, geochemists, material scientists, physicists, chemists, biologists, ecologists and toxicologists. None of the current books contain enough background material for such multidisciplinary readers, making it difficult for a graduate student or even an experienced researcher or environmental remediation practitioner new to nanotechnology to catch up with the massive, undigested literature. This prohibits the reader from gaining a complete understanding of NZVI science and technology. In this volume, the sixteen chapters are based on more than two decades of laboratory research and development and field-scaled demonstrations of NZVI implementation. The authors of each chapter are leading researchers and/or practitioners in NZVI technology. This book aims to be an important resource for all levels of audiences, i.e. graduate students, experienced environmental and nanotechnology researchers, and practitioners evaluating environmental remediation, as it is designed to involve everything from basic to advanced concepts.
Download or read book Phytotoxicity of Nanoparticles written by Mohammad Faisal and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-06-28 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides relevant findings on nanoparticles’ toxicity, their uptake, translocation and mechanisms of interaction with plants at cellular and sub-cellular level. The small size and large specific surface area of nanoparticles endow them with high chemical reactivity and intrinsic toxicity. Such unique physicochemical properties draw global attention of scientists to study potential risks and adverse effects of nanoparticles in the environment. Their toxicity has pronounced effects and consequences for plants and ultimately the whole ecosystem. Plants growing in nanomaterials-polluted sites may exhibit altered metabolism, growth reduction, and lower biomass production. Nanoparticles can adhere to plant roots and exert physicochemical toxicity and subsequently cell death in plants. On the other hand, plants have developed various defense mechanisms against this induced toxicity. This books discusses recent findings as well as several unresolved issues and challenges regarding the interaction and biological effects of nanoparticles. Only detailed studies of these processes and mechanisms will allow researchers to understand the complex plant-nanomaterial interactions.

Download or read book Bohunk written by Sally Netzel and published by . This book was released on 2021-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A young American composer conducts her new symphony in her new symphony in her New York debut. In the audience are members of her family who witness her current success with varying degrees of joy or jealousy. The occasion and the music stimulate real and distorted memories, some humorous and some horrifying, told movement by movement, intermission to intermission. But these are no more than interruptions in the central narrative of the real story of the composer's forgotten family, a family of one stubborn, ignorant, cruel, hard-drinking Bohemian immigrant, a young man beginning a new life in the 19th Century, armed with only a shovel and a broken-down fiddle.
Download or read book CARE Leadership written by Peter van Stralen and published by Greenleaf Book Group. This book was released on 2013-08-01 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ten van Stralen brothers built The Grounds Guys(R), their landscape management company, from the ground up. By establishing a "culture of C.A.R.E." as the centerpiece of the organization, the brothers have experienced tremendous success, working together in unity and growing their concept into a multinational franchise brand. C.A.R.E. Leadership shares the van Stralen brothers' extraordinary story and shows how eight simple but powerful leadership principles derived from the code of C.A.R.E. will enable your company to thrive, too. It's all about the culture, author Peter van Stralen argues, and each one of the principles- from "Create a Remarkable Experience" to "Be Humble" to "Listen Well and Communicate with Respect"-gets leaders one step closer to creating a team that is competent, fun, fulfilled, engaged, and committed to giving customers the best service possible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "To most people the term 'value' only relates to money. Value is much more than this and often occurs at three different levels - the individual, the organisation and the community. Creating sustainable value is the process of linking these three levels. The 'glue' that holds them together comprises the creative mindset and the tools of innovation, and when linked they can create enduring sustainable value."--P. 4.
