Predictive microbiology uses mathematical models to predict microbial behaviour in food. This book details the latest advances, from key modeling techniques to new trends and innovative methods in risk assessment, providing valuable tools for food scientists and the industry.
To meet challenges in health, agriculture, and industry, knowledge of genetic engineering is indispensable. This volume coherently presents comprehensive information from recent studies on its principles and applications for students and researchers in the biological sciences.
Recent Developments in Plant Biotechnology
This volume explores advances in plant biotechnology, focusing on the use of lipids and proteins from plant tissues in industrial applications. The book discusses an emerging field of research and will appeal to readers in medical, biochemical, and biotechnological disciplines.
This book highlights the importance of hygiene in the food industry with regard to biofilms. Good hygiene practices can increase product shelf-life and improve food safety. This book provides essential information on biofilm detection methods, prevention, and control strategies.
Farming Is Not Big Gardening
This light-hearted, informative narrative discusses US agriculture from a historical, social, and financial perspective. Written in a satirical voice, the author uses storytelling to share his experiences in food and farming through fast-moving, easy-to-read prose.
Contemporary biology focuses on genes and molecules, overlooking the living organisms themselves. This book redresses this imbalance by providing a new theory of what organisms are, and then putting it to work by recounting the story of evolution on Earth.
Existing textbooks on endocrinology do not link theory to the practical world, leading to a lack of applicable knowledge. Smirnova reduces the gap between theoretical knowledge and its practical applications in the management of endocrine disorders.
A dinosaur book like no other, this irreverent chronicle of science and pseudoscience finds humour in absurdity and takes the reader on a journey through some of the numerous bizarre ideas of young-Earth creationism which have infiltrated grade-school science textbooks.
How Organic Pollutants Poison Our Health
Many of the infinite number of organic pollutants that poison our environment are derived from organic-based precursors and can dissolve into a folded protein. This work explains how proteins are made, folded, and function, and discusses the ways in which pollutants affect them.
As scientists search for alternative dietary proteins, Spirulina is a superior source. This book fills an important research gap, highlighting the nutritional aspects of using Spirulina in poultry diets for students, professors, feed formulators, and farmers.
The History of Wine as a Medicine
Wine: our oldest medicine. Uncover its 9,500-year history, from its true origins in China to how it can reduce death rates by 50% and dementia by 80%. This groundbreaking book rewrites everything you thought you knew about the health benefits of wine.
Evolution and I discusses and sheds light on human knowledge and evolution from a range of perspectives including morals and ethics, sex and gender, religion, artificial intelligence, and microorganisms, with often surprising conclusions illuminating who we are as humans.
These proceedings cover recent advances in plant developmental biology, focusing on photomorphogenesis, flowering time control, and the circadian clock. Explore the role of light in controlling flowering, hormonal regulations, and other key molecular events.
Basic Biology for Born Engineers
While the laws of physics rely on calculus, this approach fails for biology. Living things are not continuous; they are discrete and amazingly exact. This book presents a novel view of biology as the science of ‘living mosaics’, made of discrete, yet interacting, ‘tiles’.
Evolution of Evolution
What is desperately needed is the realization of the evolutionary survival value of caring for others. This book links our humanities to a scientific understanding of human destiny to provide a key to meaning. We don’t have ‘forever’ to ‘get it!’
This book explores the possibility of life on other planets, moons, and exoplanets. It covers topics from the origin and evolution of life to cosmological effects like dark energy, highlighting the interdisciplinary methods used to detect possible advanced alien technology.
Ageing is not a disease. In an era of unfulfilled social care, this book presents an anthropological view that focuses on three essential conditions of human life that become vulnerable with advancing age: relating to others, being in the world, and leaving a legacy.
This book describes the biogenic and green synthesis of gold, palladium and platinum nanoparticles. The biological synthesis of metal nanoparticles is a strategy employed to protect against toxic effects, explaining their properties and synthesis mechanisms.
Biologists in the Age of Totalitarianism
These gripping biographies reveal the hidden lives of biologists in the Third Reich. Dr. Nowak, who knew many personally, uses newly opened archives to tell the stories of victims and perpetrators caught in the ideological nets of Nazism, Stalinism, and Maoism.
The Nigerian Cocoa Industry and the International Economy in the 1930s
This monograph uses the Nigerian cocoa industry’s encounter with the world economy of the 1930s to knit together a gamut of themes ranging from the social formations of production to the forces of demand and supply, as well as the protest movements against monopoly capitalism.
