Product Description

Traditional agriculture and emerging biofuels technology produce a number of wastes and by-products, ranging from corn fiber and glycerin to animal manure, that have the potential to serve as the basis for additional sources of bioenergy that includes both liquid biofuels and biogas.

Biofuels from Agricultural Wastes and Byproducts �is the first book to focus solely on the production of biofuels primarily from agricultural waste and by-products. The book is divided roughly into two sections. The first section looks at liquid biofuel production from agricultural byproducts, densification of agricultural residues, and the delivery from farm to processing plant of waste and byproducts for use in biofuel production. The second section focuses on anaerobic digestion of food and animal wastes, microbial diversity, molecular and biochemical aspects of methanogensis.

Together these sections solidify� Biofuels from Agricultural Wastes and Byproducts as a definitive source of information on the use of agricultural waste and by-products in biofuel production.

Biofuels from Agricultural Wastes and Byproducts Review

I have read many books and papers on bioenergy and related issues over the years, but not until I read this book have I discovered one that presented academic knowledge and "real world" knowledge together. There is enough technical information to satisfy the scientist, and enough non-technical information to satisfy the rest. An excellent read that stays on my desk at all times.

Product Description

Prominent experts in biodefense research-many from the US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases-authoritatively delineate the universe of scientific, medical, and legal issues facing the biodefense research community. Regarding medical countermeasures and decontamination, the authors describe the treatment and pathogenesis of a variety of established pathogens (anthrax, plague, smallpox, Brucellosis, Glanders, and Coxiella burnettii) and review what is known about the aerosol route of infection and decontamination processes. They also examine how to discover the presence of these agents, or other previously unknown biological weapons, and detail the ongoing efforts to counter these agents, including proteomic and genomic analysis as a gateway to better diagnostics, therapeutics, vaccinations, genotyping, and forensics. Additional chapters discuss the development and use technology to identify and characterize these infectious organisms, emerging threats, and the development of countermeasures.

Biological Weapons Defense: Infectious Disease and Counterbioterrorism (Infectious Disease) Review

This book completely surpassed all of my expectations. It discusses topics from the perspective of microbiology, genetics, pathology, and of course, biological warfare. I'm more interested in the medical aspects of this topic, but the book had so much more than I could have ever expected!

My only complaint was that the CD that came with it only had an Acrobat file on it, telling me how to install Adobe's 'Digital Editions.' I assume the idea was to encourage me to purchase the electronic version of this and other books, but I was under the assumption that there would be additional material on the CD.

But nevertheless, an outstanding resource!

Product Description

With Biomechanics: Motion, Flow, Stress, and Growth, the
premier bioengineering scientist Y.C. Fung concludes a discussion
first introduced in his seminal work, Biomechanics: Mechanical
Properties of Living Tissues, and further articulated in Biomechanics:
Circulation. This third volume not only stands alone as a
comprehensive survey of the broad field of biomechanics, but also
complements the explorations of the first two volumes, maintaining its
emphasis on methods of classical engineering as applied to biological
and physiological phenomena. While consistently recognizing the
importance of historical precedence and perspective, Fung presents the
most contemporary literature and the latest thinking in biomechanics
in thei increasingly complex interdisciplinary subject.
Considered here are 1.) the mechanics of body movement; 2.)
the flow external to an animal in motion, and the internal flow of
blood, gas, water, and other body fluids; 3.) the stress and strain,
and the strength, trauma, and tolerance limits of tissues and organs;
and 4.) the growth and change in living organisms in response to
biomechanical principles. A generous number of problems to be solved
and a carefully selected list of references are especially useful and
should help to stimulate thought and discussion among advanced
undergraduates, graduate students, and others with an interest in
bioengineering and medicine.

Product Description

Nature is the world's foremost designer. With billions of years of experience and boasting the most extensive laboratory available, it conducts research in every branch of engineering and science. Nature's designs and capabilities have always inspired technology, from the use of tongs and tweezers to genetic algorithms and autonomous legged robots. Taking a systems perspective rather than focusing narrowly on materials or chemistry aspects, Biomimetics: Biologically Inspired Technologies examines the field from every angle.

The book contains pioneering approaches to biomimetics including a new perspective on the mechanization of cognition and intelligence, as well as defense and attack strategies in nature, their applications, and potential. It surveys the field from modeling to applications and from nano- to macro-scales, beginning with an introduction to principles of using biology to inspire designs as well as biological mechanisms as models for technology.

This innovative guide discusses evolutionary robotics; genetic algorithms; molecular machines; multifunctional, biological-, and nano- materials; nastic structures inspired by plants; and functional surfaces in biology. Looking inward at biological systems, the book covers the topics of biomimetic materials, structures, control, cognition, artificial muscles, biosensors that mimic senses, artificial organs, and interfaces between engineered and biological systems. The final chapter contemplates the future of the field and outlines the challenges ahead.

Featuring extensive illustrations, including a 32-page full-color insert, Biomimetics: Biologically Inspired Technologies provides unmatched breadth of scope as well as lucid illumination of this promising field.

Biomimetics: Biologically Inspired Technologies Review

Product Description

As a result of significant research over the past 20 years, black holes are now linked to some of the most spectacular and exciting phenomena in the Universe, ranging in size from those that have the same mass as stars to the super-massive objects that lie at the heart of most galaxies, including our own Milky Way. This book first introduces the properties of simple isolated holes, then adds in complications like rotation, accretion, radiation, and magnetic fields, finally arriving at a basic understanding of how these immense engines work.Black Hole Astrophysics� reviews our current knowledge of cosmic black holes and how they generate the most powerful observed pheonomena in the Universe;� highlights the latest, most up-to-date theories and discoveries in this very active area of astrophysical research;• demonstrates why we believe that black holes are responsible for important phenomena such as quasars, microquasars and gammaray bursts;� � explains to the reader the nature of the violent and spectacular outfl ows (winds and jets) generated by black hole accretion.

Black Hole Astrophysics (Springer Praxis Books / Astronomy and Planetary Sciences) Review

This review is from: Black Hole Astrophysics: The Engine Paradigm (Springer Praxis Books / Astronomy and Planetary Sciences) (Hardcover)
An extremely well written book and anyone, like me who has only completed undergraduate astronomy completely understandable. He uses well comparisons like I learned in undergraduate astronomy like there are black holes throughout our galaxy, some so small it is like from Earth looking for them the same as looking for a cold virus in London from New York City. Well worth the price at whatever cost. Thank you so much David L. Meier for writing such a magnificent book. This book is extremely, extremely well done. And if only Amazon would let me I would rate this book 6 stars instead 5 stars. In his extended chapters his chapter summaries are way nice.
