Download or read book Soil Contamination written by Simone Pascucci and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2011-09-12 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soil contamination has severely increased over the last decades, mainly due to petroleum hydrocarbons, solvents, pesticides, lead and other heavy metals from industrial wastes and human activities. The critical point regarding contaminated soil monitoring is the intrinsic difficulty in defining fixed monitoring variables and indicators as the establishment of any a priori criterion and threshold for soil quality can be still considered subjective. This book is organized into eight chapters and presents the state-of-the art and new research highlights in the context of contaminated soil monitoring and remediation strategies, including examples from South America, Europe and Asia. The chapters deal with the following topics: - monitoring of dioxin, furan, hydrocarbons and heavy metals level in soils - bioindicators and biomarkers for the assessment of soil toxicity - use of reflectance spectroscopy for soil contaminants and waste material detection - remediation technologies and strategies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Bioremediation ist ein Verfahren, bei dem biologische Verfahren eingesetzt werden, um industrielle Schadstoffe in verschiedenen Ökosystemen wieder in den natürlichen Stoffkreislauf zurückzuführen. Ob die Bioremediation erfolgreich ist oder nicht, hängt entscheidend vom Verständnis des biotechnologischen Prozesses und von den Stärken und Schwächen der eingesetzten ökotoxikologischen Verfahren ab. "Environmental Analysis of Contaminated Sites" diskutiert umweltanalytische Verfahren und Methoden zur Bewertung der erfolgreichen Sanierung kontaminierter Bodensysteme. Ein nützlicher Leitfaden, der diese komplexe Thematik umfassend behandelt, indem er Ökotoxizitätstests für den Bodenschutz, die Bioremediation und die Risikobewertung der Umweltgefährdung miteinander verbindet. Darüber hinaus beschreibt er das Zusammenwirken von ökotoxikologischer Labor- und Felduntersuchung, Biotechnologie Consultants und verschiedenen internationalen Umweltkontrollbehörden und erklärt, wie sie gemeinsam an einer erfolgreichen Auswertung sanierter Umweltsysteme arbeiten. Mit zahlreichen Fallstudien zu erfolgreichen und gescheiterten Projekten.

Book excerpt: Since 1948, when the first volume of this extraordinary classic appeared, we've impatiently awaited an English translation of Traite de Zoology. The project is now begun--by the great Dutch publishing house, Brill. The first volumes (number 7 of the Traite) dating from 1993, comprise four numbers, revised and updated by the original and/or new authors & editors to appear in eight physical volumes of ca. 400 pages each. The first volume deals with definition, primitive forms and classification; segmentation, tagmata and appendages; integument--morphology and biochemistry; chromatophores and pigmentation; moulting, autonomy and regeneration; eyes and vision; other sense organs; and luminous organs and luminescence. Production is exquisite--the usual Brill quality. We've yet to learn if the entire Traite which appears in Guide to Reference Books is to be translated; say your best prayers (& buy Crustacea)--to motivate Brill.

Download or read book Advances in the Systematics of Diplopoda 1 written by Sergei I. Golovatch and published by PenSoft Publishers LTD. This book was released on 2009-04-07 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains three papers on the taxonomy of Diplopoda. The first, larger paper revises the small Oriental family Haplodesmidae, Polydesmoidea, Polydesmida, showing it to be synonymous with Doratodesmidae. Six new species are described, an old one is redescribed, numerous new synonymies and diagnoses are proposed, all six genera recognized as valid a redefined and keyed, as well as all their known constituent species. The second paper is devoted to descriptions of a new aberrant genus and two new species of Dalodesmidae, Dalodesmidea, Polydesmida from Tasmania, Australia. The third article provides the description of a new, northernmost species of a large southern African genus of Spirostreptidae, Spirostreptida from Zumbabwe.

Download or read book Advances in Terrestrial Isopod Biology written by Jasna ?trus and published by PenSoft Publishers LTD. This book was released on 2012-03-20 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Terrestrial isopods (woodlice) are the only group of crustaceans fully adapted to life on land and with about 3,700 species known at present represent the largest suborder of Isopoda. They occur in almost any kind of terrestrial habitat, from littoral to high mountains, from forests to deserts, with some species adapted to live in subterranean environments and others secondarily having returned to water. Woodlice are particularly important from a biogeographical and an ecological point of view, since they have limited dispersal ability, are often endemic to small geographic areas, and are extremely diverse ecologically.ÿThey also represent en excellent model group of animals to study the physiological adaptations related to the transition from an aquatic to a terrestrial way of life. This special issue of ZooKeys includes a collection of 20 papers presented during the 8th International Symposium on Terrestrial Isopod Biology, which was held at Bled, Slovenia from 19th to 23rd June 2011. Contributions address a wide range of topics related to terrestrial isopods, such as systematics, biogeography, morphology, physiology, molecular biology, microbiology, and ecology. Two contributions are related to the state of the art and future perspectives on biomineralizations in crustaceans and ecotoxicology in soil fauna. This special issue will be of great value for anyone interested in the biology of crustaceans in general and of terrestrial isopods in particular, stimulating future research on this unique group of animals.
