Nova Science Publishers Inc High Value Processing Technologies
Book SynopsisHigh Value Processing is concerned with all the processes and activities of converting raw materials and commodity materials into valuable products required by manufacturers or the end consumer. Efficient processing of raw materials and commodity goods is of great significance for continuing economic welfare. There is a need to develop products that have high value in world markets, and therefore people must understand fully the properties of materials as diverse as food, wood, metals, plastics and fuel. Advanced technologies and knowledge are required to design, manufacture and process these materials into high-value products. It is also important to understand the properties of these high-value products and how they will interact with their environment, whether it be within the body or in the atmosphere. This book will serve industrial and other activities where material is undergoing a change, whether that change is chemical, biochemical or physical. Improving the understanding of how to prepare feed materials, how to make reactions occur, separating and purifying products, controlling wastes, minimizing energy usage, and ultimately adding value to the raw materials used to produce something useful to people is an essential aspect to this composition. This book reads more as a single authored book with fully integrated chapters than as one compiled by editors, having benefited directly from the discussions by true experts in their fields.

Nova Science Publishers Inc The Future of Metabolic Engineering
Book SynopsisThe last two decades of scientific research have progressed to the point where metabolic engineering, which involves the modifying of metabolic pathways of animals, plants, and bacterial cells at biochemical and molecular levels, is feasible. Conceptually, metabolic engineering takes into account the identification of major blocks or control points in a metabolic pathway at the molecular level followed by removal of these limitations with the help of various cellular engineering interventions. Understanding the metabolic pathways requires appropriate experiment setup, molecular biology and biochemistry methods, computational modelling, data analysis, and interpretation to allow the researchers to manipulate them as per their needs. This book comprises a total of 12 chapters from multiple contributors of different countries around the world, including Brazil, Egypt, India, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey. This book provides deep insight into the past, present, and future of metabolic engineering in the animal, microbial, and plant system, communicating interdisciplinary research and relevant results in biochemistry, molecular biology, applied microbiology, cellular physiology, cellular nutrition in health and disease, and biochemical engineering.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Exploring the Biotechnological Potential of C2
Book SynopsisMetabolic engineering and biocatalysis aim to produce new value-added products from biological routes through careful and deliberate genetic engineering in different microbial chassis with suitable metabolic repertoire. Hitherto, the endeavour has largely been confined to the production of new products from glucose and a few other well characterized substrates. But, as the bioeconomy gains in importance and the world seeks to explore new sources of carbon as feedstocks, a possibility exists in developing alternative C2 compounds as feedstocks in contrast to the current reliance on C6 (glucose and fructose), C5 (xylose) and C3 (glycerol) substrates. Two potential C2 alternative substrates explored in this work are ethanol and ethylene glycol. Ethanol is a biofuel whose biotechnological potential has not been fully explored. In the first part of the book, the potential of using the NADH generated from a reconstructed ethanol utilization pathway to power a biotransformation reaction is explored in Escherichia coli. Experimental results indicate that ethanol utilization delivers higher biotransformation efficiency compared to state-of-the-art glucose dehydrogenase system, which confirmed theoretical predictions of relative efficiency of the two systems. Next, the book switches attention to ethylene glycol which could be derived as breakdown products of lignocellulosic waste or from plastic waste. Here, the proposal is to demonstrate the potential of an NADH generating ethylene glycol utilization pathway that terminates at glycolate to support biocatalytic reactions in E. coli. Subsequently, the two-step ethylene glycol utilisation pathway would be extended to malate and 2-phosphoglycerate to help another biotechnology workhorse, Bacillus subtilis, to grow on ethylene glycol as the sole carbon source. Different connection points to central carbon metabolism would provide a natural experiment to decipher the relative efficiencies of activating tricarboxylic acid cycle and glycolysis in supporting cell growth, and illuminate insights into the relative efficiency and evolutionary importance of different branches of metabolism in B. subtilis. Finally, ethylene glycol utilization would be combined with product formation to help B. subtilis to synthesise green fluorescent protein using flux from the C2 alternative substrate. This system would provide a platform for examining the efficacy of different ethylene glycol utilization pathways and entry points in central carbon metabolism in synthesising amino acids and proteins. Overall, this book hopes to explore the biotechnological potential of two alternative C2 substrates (ethanol and ethylene glycol) in biocatalysis and metabolic engineering from the substrate utilisation perspective.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Non-Euclidean Geometry in Materials of Living and
Book SynopsisThis monograph briefly describes the properties of Euclidean geometry and Riemannian geometry. The significance of the genetic code in connection with the established laws of transmission of hereditary information in the polytope of hereditary information and their sequence in the chain of nucleotides is discussed. Information processes in living matter play a significant role in ensuring the sustainable existence of living organisms. In this regard, the monograph pays great attention to the study of information flows in polytopes of the highest dimension, which are biomolecules. It is shown that the higher the dimensionality of the polytope, the more powerful the information flow it has. This allows living organisms to create reliable protection against harmful external influences (for example, from viruses). In general, the monograph represents a new worldview of nature and life on Earth, which is based on the highest dimension of the molecules of chemical compounds.Table of ContentsPreface; Euclidean Geometry and Non-Euclidean Geometry; Geometry of the Polytopes of Higher Dimensions; Non-Euclidean Properties of the Geometry of Polytopes of Higher Dimension; Polytopes of the Highest Dimension of Inert Substances; "Inert" Substances as a Self-Regulating Medium Tending to Capture Space; Spatial Models of Sugars and Their Compounds; The Theory of the Folder and Native Structures of the Proteins; Geometry of the Structure of Nucleic Acids in the Space of the Highest Dimension; Interaction of Nucleic Acids in the Space of Higher Dimension and the Transmission of Hereditary Information; Dimension of Substances and Life; Summary; References; Index.

Oxford University Press Theoretical Microfluidics Paperback
Book SynopsisMicrofluidics is a young and rapidly expanding scientific discipline, which deals with fluids and solutions in miniaturized systems, the so-called lab-on-a-chip systems. It has applications in chemical engineering, pharmaceutics, biotechnology and medicine. As the lab-on-a-chip systems grow in complexity, a proper theoretical understanding becomes increasingly important. The basic idea of the book is to provide a self-contained formulation of the theoretical framework of microfluidics, and at the same time give physical motivation and examples from lab-on-a-chip technology. After three chapters introducing microfluidics, the governing equations for mass, momentum and energy, and some basic flow solutions, the following 14 chapters treat hydraulic resistance/compliance, diffusion/dispersion, time-dependent flow, capillarity, electro- and magneto-hydrodynamics, thermal transport, two-phase flow, complex flow patterns and acousto-fluidics, as well as the new fields of opto- and nano-fluidTrade ReviewAn excellent text, very well written and pedagogically sound. Clear, concise, and complete, it explains the theoretical framework of microfluidics to a broad audience. * Kari Dalnoki-Veress, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario *Written in a highly pedagogical style.

Oxford University Press, USA Biologists Imagination
Book SynopsisScholars and policymakers alike agree that innovation in the biosciences is key to future growth. The field continues to shift and expand, and it is certainly changing the way people live their lives in a variety of ways. With a large share of federal research dollars devoted to the biosciences, the field is just beginning to live up to its billing as a source of innovation, economic productivity and growth. Vast untapped potential to imagine and innovate exists in the biosciences given new tools now widely available. In The Biologist''s Imagination, William Hoffman and Leo Furcht examine the history of innovation in the biosciences, tracing technological innovation from the late eighteenth century to the present and placing special emphasis on how and where technology evolves. Place is often key to innovation, from the early industrial age to the rise of the biotechnology industry in the second half of the twentieth century. The book uses the distinct history of bioinnovation to discuss current trends as they relate to medicine, agriculture, energy, industry, ecosystems, and climate. Fast-moving research fields like genomics, synthetic biology, stem cell research, neuroscience, bioautomation and bioprinting are accelerating these trends. Hoffman and Furcht argue that our system of bioscience innovation is itself in need of innovation. It needs to adapt to the massive changes brought about by converging technologies and the globalization of higher education, workforce skills, and entrepreneurship. The Biologist''s Imagination is both a review of past models for bioscience innovation and a forward-looking, original argument for what future models should take into account.Trade ReviewThis exceptionally well researched and engagingly presented account of the growth of biotechnology in medicine, agriculture, manufacturing and pharmaceutical industries is a veritable tour de force. * Ben Mepham, The Biologist *Table of ContentsIntroduction ; Chapter 1: Ideas, progress, wealth, and the biological revolution ; Chapter 2: Drugs, biomolecules, brains, and the shifting currents of innovation ; Chapter 3: Regional bioinnovation: Reaping the harvest of the local ; and the global ; Chapter 4: Mendel's journey from peas to petabytes ; Chapter 5: Toning up universities for regional growth ; Chapter 6: Splicing and dicing: Property, information, and the DNA of innovation ; Chapter 7: Looking ahead as an industry evolves ; Conclusion ; Chapter endnotes ; Selected bibliography ; Acknowledgements ; Index

St Martin's Press Ending Aging
Book SynopsisWith a New AfterwordMust We Age?Nearly all scientists who study the biology of aging agree that we will someday be able to substantially slow down the aging process, extending our productive, youthful lives. Dr. Aubrey de Grey is perhaps the most bullish of all such researchers. As has been reported in media outlets ranging from 60 Minutes to The New York Times, Dr. de Grey believes that the key biomedical technology required to eliminate aging-derived debilitation and death entirely-technology that would not only slow but periodically reverse age-related physiological decay, leaving us biologically young into an indefinite future-is now within reach.In Ending Aging, Dr. de Grey and his research assistant Michael Rae describe the details of this biotechnology. They explain that the aging of the human body, just like the aging of man-made machines, results from an accumulation of various types of damage. As with m
