Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Principles of Fermentation Technology, Fourth Edition covers key components of the fermentation process, including growth kinetics, strain isolation and improvement, inoculum development, fermentation media, fermenter design, control and operation, sterilization, product recovery, and the environmental impact of processes. The book recognizes the increasing importance of animal cell culture, the continuing impact of the post-genomics era and CRISPR technology on applied science, and the huge contribution that heterologous protein production now makes in the success of the pharmaceutical industry. In addition, the importance of the vaccine sector is reflected in its increased coverage. It is ideally suited for both newcomers to the industry and established workers as it provides essential and fundamental information on fermentation in a methodical, logical fashion. The book's authors have integrated the engineering and biological aspects of fermentation to make the content accessible to members of both disciplines, with a focus on the practical application of theory. This book collates all fermentation fundamentals into one concise reference, making it an indispensable resource for fermentation scientists and anyone studying in the field.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Flexibility-Oriented Operation of Integrated Power and Gas Networks and Low-Carbon Technologies Under Clean Energy Transition examines the critical role that integrated gas and electricity networks play in achieving a sustainable, low-carbon energy future. Sections cover innovative low-carbon technologies, such as hydrogen and ammonia, while addressing synthesis, storage, and transportation hurdles. Its detailed content covers the flexibility of coupled gas and electricity networks, operational strategies for achieving net-zero carbon emissions, and intelligent methods for assessing network adaptability. Users will find a conceptual overview of decarbonization efforts for integrated energy systems and discussions on the feasibility of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) in these processes. Further, the book discusses the decoupling of emissions from economic growth, the role of negative emission technologies (NETs), and the application of innovative energy solutions such as gas carbon capture and storage (CCS) and hydrogen production. Case studies illustrate successful implementations of integrated networks worldwide, highlighting challenges and key lessons learned. It not only highlights the urgent need for flexibility in these interconnected systems, particularly through demand-side management and energy storage systems, but also addresses the pressing challenges posed by climate change and the transition away from fossil fuels.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy: Fundamentals and Applications explores the current landscape of BDS in detail, with a focus on techniques, analytical tools, materials, and devices. It covers both the theory and fundamentals, as well as the most recent advances, with a specific focus on novel applications within advanced materials.Section I provides a strong theoretical background and foundational overview, while explaining how experimental tests can be conducted, discussing the methods of analyzing data via various formalisms. Detailed methods are provided together with example case studies. The book explores the ways in which BDS intersects with and can be used in conjunction with other analytical and spectroscopic techniques. Section II shows how BDS can be used in cutting-edge ways on some of the most important materials used in chemical and material science research, such as solution materials, polymers, hybrid polymers and nanocomposites, ionic liquids, and active dielectrics. Finally, Section III uses case studies and detailed methods and protocols to provide examples of how BDS can be used across various industries.This book will make an excellent resource for students (both upper undergraduate and postgraduate), researchers, and engineers looking to work with this technique, primarily materials chemists, analytical chemists, materials scientists, physicists, and physical chemists working with BDS or working on advanced materials, dielectric materials, materials for electronics, and in the area of dielectric relaxation processes for advanced applications.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Integrated Photonics for Sensing Applications introduces sensors as an important application area for integrated photonics. It provides a brief historical perspective and highlights key free-space spectroscopic sensing techniques such as FTIR, Raman, SPR, and reflectometry, and it thoroughly explores the advantages of photonic integrated circuit (PIC) sensor systems, which have the potential for low SWAP-C and high performance.The topics covered include sensor system components such as waveguides (for optical wavelengths less than and greater than 1550 nm), ring resonators and toroids, photonic crystals, MZ interferometers, light input and output, light sources (wavelengths less than and greater than 1550 nm), and spectrometers and detectors. The book considers integrated systems that employ biofunctionalization/sorbents for applications in chem-bio sensing, and it also addresses sensor manufacturing at scale, including materials, PDK development, and sensor packaging.
