Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investigating Seafloors and Oceans: From Mud Volcanoes to Giant Squid offers a bottom-to-top tour of the world's oceans, exposing the secrets hidden therein from a variety of scientific perspectives. Opening with a discussion of the earth's formation, hot spots, ridges, plate tectonics, submarine trenches, and cold seeps, the text goes on to address such topics as the role of oceans in the origin of life, tidal bore, thermal effects, ecosystem services, marine creatures, and nutraceutical and pharmaceutical resources. This unique reference provides insight into a wide array of questions that researchers continue to ask about the vast study of oceans and the seafloor. It is a one-of-a-kind examination of oceans that offers important perspectives for researchers, practitioners, and academics in all marine-related fields. - Includes chapters addressing various scientific disciplines, offering the opportunity for readers to gain insights on diverse topics in the study of oceans - Provides scientific discussion on thermo-tolerant microbial life in sub-seafloor hot sediments and vent fields, as well as the origin of life debates and the puzzles revolving around how life originated - Includes detailed information on the origin of dreaded episodes, such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, internal waves and tidal bores - Contains information on the contribution of the oceans in terms of providing useful nutraceutical and pharmaceutical products

Download or read book Indigenous Fermented Foods for the Tropics written by Oluwafemi Ayodeji Adebo and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2023-01-21 with total page 640 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indigenous Fermented Foods for the Tropics provides insights on fermented foods of the Tropics, particularly Africa, Asia and South America, highlighting key aspects and potential developments for these food products. Sections provide an overview on the production and composition (nutritional, physicochemical, health beneficial and microbiota) of these indigenous fermented foods in the tropics, innovative techniques for investigating the composition of these fermented food products and improvement of the fermentation process to yield better nutritional constituents, health beneficial components and sensory qualities, and safety aspects to be considered in fermented foods. Other sections provide insights into the packaging and marketing of these food products as well as future prospects of fermented foods in the tropics. This book provides new perspectives and recent information to complement existing texts on indigenous fermented foods serving as a valuable reference text for detailed insights into indigenous fermented foods of the tropics. - Discusses fermented foods from the Africa, Asia, and South America based on the raw materials used - Offers innovative techniques for improving these indigenous products and investigating their composition as well as upgrading traditional technologies used in the production of fermented products - Covers the role of technology and innovations in the quest for enhancing quality, and safety of fermented foods as demand for fermented food and beverage products is increased

Download or read book Biotic Response to Global Change written by Stephen J. Culver and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-12-14 with total page 519 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concern about the effects of global change on our planet's future has driven much research into the last few thousand years of earth history. In contrast, this volume takes a much longer viewpoint to provide a historical perspective to recent and future global change. Over 40 international specialists investigate the reaction of life to global environmental changes, from Cretaceous times to the turn of the century. During this time earth's climate has changed from a very warm, 'greenhouse' phase with no significant ice sheets to today's 'ice-house' world. A wide spectrum of animal, plant and protistan life is discussed, encompassing terrestrial, shallow-marine and deep-marine realms. Each chapter considers a particular taxonomic group, looking first at the general picture and then focusing on more specialized aspects such as extinctions, diversity and biogeography. This volume will form an invaluable reference for researchers and graduate students in paleontology, geology, biology, oceanography and climatology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Velik del slovenskega ozemlja je zgrajen iz mezozojskih, to je triasnih, jurskih in krednih karbonatnih kamnin, katerih pomemben delež sestavljajo koralni grebeni. Ti so v Sloveniji mestoma tako obsežni, da se prištevajo med največje in najbogatejše v svetu. Njihovi glavni graditelji so korale, ki jih avtorica raziskuje že vrsto let. Knjiga združuje rezultate vseh dosedanjih del in jih dopolnjuje z najnovejšimi raziskavami doma in s sodobnimi ugotovitvami v svetu. Po enotnem sistemu je predstavljenih 211 vrst koral, ki po starosti sodijo v zgornji trias, zgornjo juro ter spodnjo in zgornjo kredo.

Download or read book Mediterranean Cold Water Corals Past Present and Future written by Covadonga Orejas and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-07-10 with total page 569 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do we know about Mediterranean Cold (Deep)-Water coral ecosystems? In this book, specialists offer answers and insights with a series of chapters and short papers about the paleoecology, biology, physiology and ecology of the corals and other organisms that comprise these ecosystems. Structured on a temporal axis—Past, Present and Future—the reviews and selected study cases cover the cold and deep coral habitats known to date in the Mediterranean Basin. This book illustrates and explains the deep Mediterranean coral habitats that might have originated similar thriving ecosystems in today’s Atlantic Ocean.
