Environmental Pollutants in the Mediterranean Sea: Recent Trends and Remediation Approaches

Tamer El-Sayed Ali

Beschreibung

Pollution of the aquatic environment is a real threat across the globe. It is becoming a topic of intense study for researchers. It has been updated and almost completely revised. The Mediterranean Sea has been recognized as a target hotspot of the world as the pollutant concentration in this region is greater than the levels in other oceans.
 
The book summarizes research on marine pollutants in the Mediterranean Sea. It presents 5 concise reviews focusing on microplastics, rare earth elements and biotoxins – which are now commonly found in the region. The Editors also emphasize on pollution problems in the Mediterranean region, with 2 chapters presenting studies on Lebanon and Morocco, respectively. The book adds to the collective information on Mediterranean marine pollution. Additionally, references are included at the end of each chapter for the benefit of advanced readers.
 
The contributions also include discussions on important techniques used to monitor and control marine pollution, such as the bio-monitoring of effluents, and ecological impact assessment of microplastic pollution on fish and the environment.
 
 
 
Audience
 
Students and researchers in environmental science programs; policymakers in Mediterranean environmental agencies.

Data Science for Everyone -...

Craig Dames

Data science is a multidisciplinary field that combines statistics, computer science, and domain expertise to extract meaningful insights from data. In today's digital era, data is generated at an unprecedented rate, making data science one of the most valuable skills in various industries. From healthcare to finance, businesses leverage data science to improve decision-making, optimize processes, and drive innovation. 
At its core, data science follows a structured approach that includes data collection, cleaning, exploration, modeling, and interpretation. The first step in any data science project is acquiring relevant data. This data can come from multiple sources, such as databases, APIs, or even social media. Once collected, it often requires cleaning, as raw data may contain errors, inconsistencies, or missing values that can impact the accuracy of analyses. 
After cleaning, exploratory data analysis (EDA) helps uncover patterns, trends, and relationships within the data. Visualization techniques, such as charts and graphs, make it easier to understand complex datasets. EDA also aids in feature selection, a crucial step in preparing data for machine learning models. Machine learning, a subset of artificial intelligence, allows computers to learn from data and make predictions. Common machine learning techniques include supervised learning, where models learn from labeled data, and unsupervised learning, which identifies hidden patterns without predefined labels.

Fluid Mechanics - A Very Short...

Eric Lauga

Fluid mechanics is an important branch of physics concerned with the way in which fluids, such as liquids and gases, behave when in motion and at rest. A quintessential interdisciplinary field of science, it interacts with many other scientific disciplines, from chemistry and biology to mathematics and engineering. 
 
 
 
This Very Short Introduction presents the field of fluid mechanics by focusing on the underlying physical ideas and using everyday phenomena to demonstrate them, from dripping taps to swimming ducks. Eric Lauga shows how this set of fundamental physical concepts can be applied to a wide range of flow behaviors and highlights the role of fluid motion in both the natural and industrial worlds. This book also considers future applications of fluid mechanics in science.

A Relational Response to Climate...

Calum Samuelson

About Relationships and Climate ChangeThe challenge of climate change is one of the defining issues the world is facing at the start of the 2020s. It has mobilised a whole new generation of social activists, some of whom are going to extreme lengths to confront the public and especially political leaders with the threat that climate change makes to their future and the planet as a whole.Arguments about the causes of climate change are usually underpinned by the assumption that more human beings living on the planet are inevitably bad for the environment and climate. However, a careful biblical reflection on these issues yields a more nuanced and hopeful view, and this report seeks to stimulate fresh conversations about how best to respond to Climate Change now and in the future.
