Book excerpt: Wall Street Journal Bestseller New York Times bestselling author Dan Heath explores how to prevent problems before they happen, drawing on insights from hundreds of interviews with unconventional problem solvers. So often in life, we get stuck in a cycle of response. We put out fires. We deal with emergencies. We stay downstream, handling one problem after another, but we never make our way upstream to fix the systems that caused the problems. Cops chase robbers, doctors treat patients with chronic illnesses, and call-center reps address customer complaints. But many crimes, chronic illnesses, and customer complaints are preventable. So why do our efforts skew so heavily toward reaction rather than prevention? Upstream probes the psychological forces that push us downstream—including “problem blindness,” which can leave us oblivious to serious problems in our midst. And Heath introduces us to the thinkers who have overcome these obstacles and scored massive victories by switching to an upstream mindset. One online travel website prevented twenty million customer service calls every year by making some simple tweaks to its booking system. A major urban school district cut its dropout rate in half after it figured out that it could predict which students would drop out—as early as the ninth grade. A European nation almost eliminated teenage alcohol and drug abuse by deliberately changing the nation’s culture. And one EMS system accelerated the emergency-response time of its ambulances by using data to predict where 911 calls would emerge—and forward-deploying its ambulances to stand by in those areas. Upstream delivers practical solutions for preventing problems rather than reacting to them. How many problems in our lives and in society are we tolerating simply because we’ve forgotten that we can fix them?

Download or read book UPSTREAM AND DOWNSTREAM PROCESSING OF BIOPRODUCTS written by R. Puvanakrishnan and published by MJP Publisher. This book was released on 2019-06-20 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microorganisms have been exploited for many centuries for the production of fermented foods and beverages and for bread-making. The production of alcoholic beverages using microbes was the first major industrialized process. The technology developed for large-scale brewing was adapted for other anaerobic processes such as acetone and butanol in the early 1900s. With the discovery of penicillins, rapid developments were made in the technology of submerged culture fermentation of aerobic microorganisms under controlled conditions. The advancements in microbiology and process biochemistry improved our ability to harness the potential of microorganisms through improved bioprocessing methods to manufacture new products with economic viability. Microbial derived bioproducts have been gaining importance in the food, pharmaceutical, textile, leather, cosmetic and chemical industries, and most important among them are therapeutic proteins and peptides, enzymes, antigens, vaccines, antibiotics, drugs, etc.Not all microbial production processes involve culture of the organism in liquid medium. Instead, the organism can be grown on the surface of a solid substrate. Solid substrate (or solid state) fermentation (SSF) is an established traditional technology in many countries, producing edible mushrooms, fungal- fermented foods and soy sauce. Before the development of processes in liquid culture, citric acid and some microbial enzymes were produced by SSF. Carbon composting is also a form of SSF.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: downstream: reimagining water brings together artists, writers, scientists, scholars, environmentalists, and activists who understand that our shared human need for clean water is crucial to building peace and good relationships with one another and the planet. This book explores the key roles that culture, arts, and the humanities play in supporting healthy water-based ecology and provides local, global, and Indigenous perspectives on water that help to guide our societies in a time of global warming. The contributions range from practical to visionary, and each of the four sections closes with a poem to encourage personal freedom along with collective care. This book contributes to the formation of an intergenerational, culturally inclusive, participatory water ethic. Such an ethic arises from intellectual courage, spiritual responsibilities, practical knowledge, and deep appreciation for human dependence on water for a meaningful quality of life. Downstream illuminates how water teaches us interdependence with other humans and living creatures, both near and far.

Download or read book Downstream written by David L. O'Hara and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2014-08-04 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Downstream: Reflections on Brook Trout, Fly Fishing, and the Waters of Appalachia is a mosaic combining nature writing, fly-fishing narrative, memoir, and philosophical and spiritual inquiry. Fly-fishing narratives and fragments of memoir provide the narrative arc for exploring relationships between humans and rivers, and the ways in which our attitudes and philosophies impact our practices and the waters we depend on for life. The authors guide their readers on a journey from Maine's Androscoggin watershed--once one of the ten filthiest rivers in the United States and now home to some of the best wild brook trout fishing in the United States--southward through Kentucky into Tennessee and North Carolina, where a native southern strain of brook trout struggles to survive. Like the rivers themselves, the chapters alternate between flowing narratives and the stiller waters that settle out above dams. While each stone in this mosaic is worth a close look in its own right, seen from a distance the book offers a broader picture of the cold mountain waters of Appalachia and their famous native fish: the brook trout. .embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }
