Organic farming is a holistic self-sustaining approach that recycles its own organic wastes in a natural way in an agro-ecosystem for healthier production and a healthier environment. The inclusion of advanced green techniques and human skills in organic farming magnifies its production. Conservation of biodiversity, soil, water, and air and maintenance of local hydrological and nutrient cycles are the great benefits of it. Consequently, pollution-free safe organic crops are produced and the environment is conserved in organic farming systems. Organic farming contributes 1 to 2% of global food production. The demand for organic products in the world market is rising from day to day. On account of the above, the objectives of the present book are to draw current and advanced pictures of different approaches to organic farming for organic food production and conserving the environment by preventing pollutant-generating conventional chemical-based farming practices. The present book comprises current advancements in basic theoretical, practical, and application frameworks in organic farming by focusing latest empirical research findings on the following topics: basic concept, significance and future prospects of organic farming, organic agriculture, aquaculture, animal husbandry, environmental quality management, composting and vermicomposting, bioslurry and bio-fertilizers.]]> https://novapublishers.com/shop/pesticide-residues-chemistry-toxicology-and-environmental-impact/ Mon, 06 Feb 2023 17:43:48 +0000 https://novapublishers.com/?post_type=product&p=142651 David J.

Microbial-influenced corrosion (MIC) is important for maritime, chemical engineering, and bioprocess engineering industries. Presently no environmentally friendly technology has been available to minimize the economic loss of biocorrosion. Currently available anti-biocorrosion technology depends heavily on chemical methods to regulate biofilm formation which has a negative impact on the environment. Therefore, it is essential to know the fundamentals of the roles of biomolecules within the whole process to develop detailed research capabilities and potential control and management strategies. This book targets the roles of EPS, proteins, lipids, DNA, and different metabolites currently known to be involved in the corrosion processes. The potential roles of EPS, proteins, lipids and enzymes are still poorly understood. There are still collective issues that need to be addressed, including the importance of the microbial role in MIC. More specifically, there exists a need to understand the impact of enzyme activities inside the biofilm matrix on the dynamics of corrosion reactions. Also, there is the involvement of metals or organometallic complexes in electron transfer and from chemically and morphologically diverse metallic surface films to ultimate electron acceptors. **Order the printed version and SAVE 50% on the e-book with Print+eBook.

These fields are induced by thermal stresses in/around isotropic components of the porous two-component materials. The thermal stresses, which are observed during a cooling process, originate below relaxation temperature of a porous two-component material. These stresses are a consequence of different thermal expansion coefficients of material components. The thermal stresses and the stress-strain fields are determined for such a model material system, which corresponds to two types of real porous two-component materials with isotropic components. Results of this book are applicable within basic research (solid continuum mechanics, theoretical physics, materials science), as well as within the practice of engineering. The analytical models in this book can be incorporated into analytical, computational and experimental models of material stresses, interactions of energy barriers with dislocations and magnetic domain walls. Material scientists and engineers can determine such numerical values of structural parameters to result in maximum values of the thermal stresses and the stress-strain fields. Consequently, these maximum values result in maximum mechanical properties of the real porous two-component materials. Finally, this book presents such mathematical methods, which are required to determine these analytical models.  ]]> https://novapublishers.com/shop/advantages-and-disadvantages-of-sandy-soils/ Mon, 02 Jan 2023 19:13:36 +0000 https://novapublishers.com/?post_type=product&p=141621 Rashidi Bin Othman, PhD - Professor, Landscape Ecology, International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM), Malaysia Farah Ayuni Mohd Hatta, PhD - Research Fellow, Plant Biotechnology, Institute of Islam Hadhari, National University of Malaysia, Bangi, Selangor, Malaysia Wan Syibrah Hanisah Wan Sulaiman, PhD - Assistant Professor, Environmental Management and Sustainability, International Institute for Halal Research and Training (INHART), Malaysia Nur Hanie Mohd Latiff, PhD - Assistant Professor, Environmental Science, International Institute for Halal Research and Training (INHART), Malaysia Razanah Ramya, PhD - Research Fellow, Ecology & Ethno Science, Institute of the Malay World and Civilization, National University of Malaysia, Bangi, Selangor, Malaysia Series: Air, Water and Soil Pollution Science and Technology; Environmental Science, Engineering and Technology BISAC: SCI026000; SCI020000; TEC003060 DOI: 10.52305/HSEX3848 This book presents the significant values of sandy soil and its properties, which include biotic and abiotic components, soil protection, soil amelioration, ecological indicators, and, differing from other books, Forest Therapy concept implementation in the sandy soil forest areas.

This edition opens up the field of reflection on the need for comfort to achieve objectives that are not exclusive to emotional stability, or simply static physical comfort (seat, posture, distance, or proximity to the points of instruction) but goes beyond that, taking into account the relationship with the city and how to achieve structures that promote health as a whole. It also takes a look into the past with a description of the Roman legacy that has been handed down to us over the centuries regarding the control of water and its mobility within the city. It is a comprehensive and highly recommended publication that will introduce the reader to a close and interesting academic world." - Daniel Arranz Paraiso, Collaborating Professor Doctor, Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Technology, University Foundation San Pablo CEU, Spain

This book addresses a topic of great relevance today, considering that in developed countries, most of the time is spent indoors; therefore, indoor residential environments have a direct influence on human health. Furthermore, in developing countries, significant levels of indoor pollution make housing unsafe, which has an impact on the health of its inhabitants; thus, housing is a key factor in the health of people around the world. In this book we look at a range of innovative research and evidence-based policy ideas that demonstrate the importance of housing research and policy for health and well-being.]]>
