Salt Intrusion Tides and Mixing in Multi-Channel Estuaries PhD: UNESCO-IHE Institute Delft

Salt Intrusion Tides and Mixing in Multi-Channel Estuaries PhD: UNESCO-IHE Institute Delft

Multi-channel estuaries such as the Mekong Delta in Vietnam and the Scheldt in the Netherlands have characteristics of both the river and the sea forming a unique environment influenced by tidal movements of the sea and freshwater flow of the river. This study addresses a number of knowledge gaps in multi-channel estuaries by developing a predictive analytical approach for salinity intrusion and discharge estimate in multi-channel estuaries. The new approach agrees well with 1-D hydrodynamic models and observations indicating its applicability in practice. Most importantly the study has successfully developed a new theory and a new equation to quantify tidal pumping due to ebb-flood channel residual circulation and the related salt dispersion. | Salt Intrusion Tides and Mixing in Multi-Channel Estuaries PhD: UNESCO-IHE Institute Delft

Submarine Groundwater

Submarine Groundwater

Sustainable management of water resources is quickly increasing in importance on a global scale. An important piece of the puzzle is the characterization of marine water and determining its importance to geochemical budgets. To do this submarine groundwater discharges must be carefully studied. Comprehensively exploring the subject Submarine Groundwater presents quantitative data relating groundwater contribution to the water/salt balance of regional and global bodies of water. The authors examine different data-supported methods for studying submarine groundwater flow and discharge through case studies contributed by leading international scientists. They discuss the maintenance of optimal water salt temperature and hydrobiological regimes of inland seas and large lakes. The book covers subsurface water exchange between the land and sea as well as groundwater discharge to the seas. It also provides a review of experimental methods and numerical modeling that can be used for the evaluation of specific discharge data and the effect of groundwater on the salt balance of seas and oceans. Defining the field of marine hydrogeology as a science that studies submarine groundwater its properties circulation and distribution Submarine Groundwater delineates the role of quantitative assessment of subsurface water exchange between land and sea in predicting its changes under the influence of natural factors and human activity. It provides a framework for assessing different methods and making the best choice for various situations.

Textbook of Ion Channels Three Volume Set

Textbook of Ion Channels Three Volume Set

The Textbook of Ion Channels is a set of three volumes providing a wide-ranging reference source on ion channels for students instructors and researchers. Ion channels are membrane proteins that control the electrical properties of neurons and cardiac cells mediate the detection and response to sensory stimuli like light sound odor and taste and regulate the response to physical stimuli like temperature and pressure. In non-excitable tissues ion channels are instrumental for the regulation of basic salt balance that is critical for homeostasis. Ion channels are located at the surface membrane of cells giving them the unique ability to communicate with the environment as well as the membrane of intracellular organelles allowing them to regulate internal homeostasis. Ion channels are fundamentally important for human health and diseases and are important targets for pharmaceuticals in mental illness heart disease anesthesia pain and other clinical applications. The modern methods used in their study are powerful and diverse ranging from single ion-channel measurement techniques to models of ion channel diseases in animals and human clinical trials for ion channel drugs. All three volumes give the reader an introduction to fundamental concepts needed to understand the mechanism of ion channels a guide to the technical aspects of ion channel research offer a modern guide to the properties of major ion channel families and include coverage of key examples of regulatory physiological and disease roles for ion channels. | Textbook of Ion Channels Three Volume Set

It includes recent trends in technology of cereals based products technological updates in legumes and pulses based convenience/processed foods various aspects of evolution of bakery and confectionery technology and technological evaluation of milling. Since age's process of fermentation was employed for preserving the cereals based food by using general and specified micro flora and micro fauna the science and technology involved is well explained in the chapter titled 'Fermented Food Based on Cereal and Pulses. ' The most important quality attributes related to cereals processing are rheological and thermal changes which occur when extrinsic factors such as moisture and temperature are ebbed and flowed. This subject was sensibly covered under 'Rheological and Thermal Changes Occurring During Processing. ' Sugarcane and the sugar industry have the largest contribution to the industrial development. Various unit operations and technology involved are explained as recent updates in sugar honey jaggery and salt processing. Shelf life stability of the products with respect to various chemical parameters attributed to the oxidative changes in processed foods is also aptly covered.

Organic Acids and Food Preservation

Organic Acids and Food Preservation

Although organic acids have been used to counteract pathogens in food for many years there is a glaring need to assess and improve their continued effectiveness and sustainability. There is also a growing demand for foods that are produced using milder treatments (e. g. less heat salt sugar and chemicals) and newer technologies to prevent the growth of dangerous bacteria. Organic Acids and Food Preservation concentrates on safe and effective techniques for applying organic acids to prevention of bacterial growth. Despite the wide range of potentially useful antimicrobials relatively few are suitable in practice—and this invaluable hands-on guide explains why. With its wealth of information and rare focus solely on the subject it provides practical tools that can be used in the food industry various academic disciplines research education and food technology fields to better understand the problem and develop optimal solutions. Why are preservative strategies ineffective?Why are microorganisms becoming acid tolerant and resistant in other ways? To answer these and other key questions the authors combine research findings from industries and laboratories around the globe specific application regimen future prospects and other information that is vital to the successful use of organic acids as food preservatives. After outlining challenges that the food industry faces from modern consumer trends food legislation and other obstacles this book then explores possible solutions that are applicable not only to food science but to microbiology food science food technology biochemistry and biotechnology.
