Hazardous Pollutants in Biological Treatment Systems
Fundamentals and a Guide to Experimental Research
Language: English
Release Date: November 15, 2017
Hazardous pollutants are a growing concern in treatment engineering. In the past, biological treatment was mainly used for the removal of bulk organic matter and the nutrients nitrogen and phosphorus. However, relatively recently the issue of hazardous pollutants, which are present at very low concentrations...
Bioelectronic Nose
Integration of Biotechnology and Nanotechnology
Language: English
Release Date: April 25, 2014
The “bioelectronic nose”, the device which has a similar function to the human smell sensing system, can be realized by combining the olfactory cells or receptors with nanotechnology. In the last two decades, much has been learned about the smell sensing mechanism in biological systems. With knowledge...

The Biological Farmer
A Complete Guide to the Sustainable and Profitable Biological System of Farming
Language: English
Release Date: January 1, 2000
Biological farming does not mean less production; it means eliminating obstacles to healthy, efficient production. It is a safe and sustainable system designed to keep production up. Once the chemical, physical and biological properties of the soil are in balance, you can expect optimal outputs, even...

Biological Control
Ecology and Applications
Language: English
Release Date: April 3, 2017
Biological control is the suppression of populations of pests and weeds by living organisms. These organisms can provide important protection from invasive species and protect our environment by reducing the need for pesticides. However, they also pose possible environmental risks, so biological control...
The Biological Farmer, 2nd Edition
A Complete Guide to the Sustainable & Profitable Biological System of Farming
Language: English
Release Date: February 24, 2017
Biological farmers work with nature, feeding soil life, balancing soil minerals and tilling soils with a purpose. The methods they apply involve a unique system of beliefs, observations and guidelines that result in increased production and profit. This practical how-to guide explains their methods...

Biological Classification
A Philosophical Introduction
Language: English
Release Date: September 8, 2016
Modern biological classification is based on the system developed by Linnaeus, and interpreted by Darwin as representing the tree of life. But despite its widespread acceptance, the evolutionary interpretation has some problems and limitations. This comprehensive book provides a single resource for...
Advances in Biological Solid-State NMR
Proteins and Membrane-Active Peptides
Language: English
Release Date: March 17, 2014
The complexity and heterogeneity of biological systems has posed an immense challenge in recent years.
