Casa editrice: Freegulls Publishing House LLC

Sinossi

Biochemical engineering integrates the principles of biology, chemistry, and engineering to develop processes for the large-scale production of valuable biochemicals. This interdisciplinary field plays a crucial role in industries such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, food and beverage, and environmental engineering.
One of the fundamental aspects of biochemical engineering is fermentation, which involves the controlled growth of microorganisms like bacteria, yeast, or fungi to produce desired compounds. These microorganisms can be genetically engineered or selected for their ability to synthesize specific products, such as antibiotics, vitamins, or biofuels.

Biocatalysis is another key area within biochemical engineering, focusing on the use of enzymes or whole cells to catalyze chemical reactions. By harnessing the specificity and efficiency of biological catalysts, biocatalysis offers environmentally friendly and cost-effective solutions for chemical synthesis and manufacturing processes.

Bioseparation techniques are essential for isolating and purifying target biomolecules from complex mixtures produced during fermentation or biocatalytic reactions. These techniques include filtration, chromatography, centrifugation, and membrane processes, which enable the recovery of high-purity products for further downstream processing.

Bioprocess design involves the optimization of various parameters such as reactor configuration, operating conditions, and media composition to maximize product yield, quality, and efficiency. Computational modeling and simulation techniques play a crucial role in predicting and optimizing bioprocess performance, allowing engineers to design robust and scalable production systems.
Overall, biochemical engineering combines scientific principles with engineering methodologies to develop sustainable and economically viable processes for the production of biochemicals with diverse applications in medicine, agriculture, energy, and the environment.

Handprints on Hubble - An...

Anonimo

The first American woman to walk in space recounts her experience as part of the team that launched, rescued, repaired, and maintained the Hubble Space Telescope.
The Hubble Space Telescope has revolutionized our understanding of the universe. It has, among many other achievements, revealed thousands of galaxies in what seemed to be empty patches of sky; transformed our knowledge of black holes; found dwarf planets with moons orbiting other stars; and measured precisely how fast the universe is expanding. In Handprints on Hubble, retired astronaut Kathryn Sullivan describes her work on the NASA team that made all of this possible. Sullivan, the first American woman to walk in space, recounts how she and other astronauts, engineers, and scientists launched, rescued, repaired, and maintained Hubble, the most productive observatory ever built.
Along the way, Sullivan chronicles her early life as a “Sputnik Baby,” her path to NASA through oceanography, and her initiation into the space program as one of “thirty-five new guys.” (She was also one of the first six women to join NASA's storied astronaut corps.) She describes in vivid detail what liftoff feels like inside a spacecraft (it's like “being in an earthquake and a fighter jet at the same time”), shows us the view from a spacewalk, and recounts the temporary grounding of the shuttle program after the Challenger disaster.
Sullivan explains that “maintainability” was designed into Hubble, and she describes the work of inventing the tools and processes that made on-orbit maintenance possible. Because in-flight repair and upgrade was part of the plan, NASA was able to fix a serious defect in Hubble's mirrors—leaving literal and metaphorical “handprints on Hubble.”
"Dr. Sullivan starts out headed for the bottom of the sea. Soon, she flies us 200 miles above the sky, using her head, heart, and hands to solve problem after problem—and help us take in views that are out of this world. She does it all with her veneer of astronaut cool, of course. What an adventure—no wonder she loves it."—Bill Nye, CEO, The Planetary Society
