Beschreibung

Microbial Energy explores the groundbreaking potential of microorganisms in addressing global energy and environmental challenges. It highlights how these tiny organisms can be harnessed for electricity generation using microbial fuel cells (MFCs), offering a sustainable alternative by converting organic matter directly into electricity. The book further examines microbial degradation, where diverse microbial communities break down pollutants and organic waste, providing environmentally friendly waste management solutions.

 
The book progresses methodically, beginning with foundational principles of microbial metabolism before delving into MFC design, microbial degradation processes, and biofuel production. Real-world case studies illustrate the efficacy of microbial technologies, showcasing data from laboratory experiments and pilot-scale studies. It emphasizes the interdisciplinary nature of microbial energy, connecting microbiology, environmental engineering, and materials science. What sets this book apart is its focus on the synergy between different microbial energy technologies, such as using effluent from waste treatment systems as feedstock for biofuel production, creating closed-loop systems.

 
It provides a comprehensive understanding of how to design MFCs, optimize biodegradation processes, and improve biofuel yields, offering a valuable resource for students, researchers, and professionals in biotechnology and environmental science.

Cat Tales - A History

Jerry D. Moore

Feared, revered, respected, and beloved, cats have left an indelible paw print on the histories and civilizations of humankind. Over the last two million years, cats and people have interacted in diverse and unexpected ways, but the predecessors of today's furry friends were predators, not pets. 
 
Leading anthropologist Jerry Moore charts the cat's path from deadly enemy to improbable roommate. Moore journeys through our complicated history with these charismatic creatures. He travels along the Nile and across the Mediterranean, sailing on to South America, exploring pet cemeteries, cat mummies, and exquisite statuary across continents and centuries. 
 
This book surveys our relationships with cats from the Paleolithic period to the present day, unlocking the mysteries of these remarkable creatures. While cats are now beloved members of families around the world, our attempts to bring cats in from the cold have not always had happy endings, as Moore explores through such famous feline fanciers as Joe Exotic, Siegfried Fischbacher, and Roy Horn. From incredible archaeological finds to cave paintings, and from classical statues to contemporary social media, Cat Tales surveys ancient and modern interactions between humans and cats, wild and domestic, to ask a simple question: who domesticated who?

Cannabis in the Treatment of...

Pharmacology University

Welcome to explore this wonderful audiobook in which you will learn about the benefits of cannabis sativa as a treatment for anxiety.
At the beginning you will surely have some doubts such as: what is anxiety? How do I know if I suffer from it? Read it with us and find out.
Anxiety disorder is a collection of mental health conditions, characterized by ambiguous situations, by a disproportionate concern about future events that provoke physiological and behavioral responses, which prepare the individual for defense or flight.
Worldwide, the estimated number of people with anxiety disorders totaled 264 million in 2015, a consequence of population growth and aging. In the Americas Region, it is estimated that up to 7.7% of the female population suffers from anxiety disorders (3.6% of men). Therefore, there is a greater need to address new therapeutic alternatives such as medical cannabis for the management and control of these conditions and to improve the quality of life of those who suffer from them.
In this audiobook, you will understand how molecules derived from the cannabis plant, known as cannabinoids, could be indicated for the effective treatment of patients diagnosed with this disorder. For this it is important to know the evolutionary history of anxiety, epidemiology, risk factors and how the diagnosis is made, the endocannabinoid system and its distribution in the body, its receptors and all the wonderful homeostatic-physiological functions it performs in our central nervous system, as well as clinical studies showing that phytocannabinoids, especially CBD, works as a possible anxiolytic treatment, for a satisfactory clinical evolution.
Learn more about the incredible medical cannabis and how it can improve the quality of life of those suffering from anxiety disorder. We invite you to enjoy this audiobook that Pharmacology University brings to you.

Denver the (not so) Great

B. E. Baker

A compelling story of one family's determination to save their grumpy old horse against all odds. 
The Baker family bought Denver to be a family horse, and he took care of their children for several years as well as he could. So when, in a freak trailer accident, Denver injured himself badly, the family was upset. 
Denver's girl, Tessa, was devastated.  
Sadly, his injury was difficult to diagnose, and once they finally figured out what was wrong, it was so rare that it didn't really have an established treatment. The vets suggested the Bakers put him down, since he was old, and frankly, not so great. He hadn't been expnsive, and the experimental treatment they thought might save him was risky, long term, and expensive.  
The Baker family decided to take a gamble on their beloved horse anyway.  
The decision changed all their lives, and it blessed them in ways they never expected. Join Denver and Bridget as they tell the story from dual POVs. It will break your heart, but it will heal it again and then some.
