Sustainable Agriculture and New Biotechnologies

Sustainable Agriculture and New Biotechnologies

Taking a broad and innovative informational approach Sustainable Agriculture and New Biotechnologies is the first book to apply omic technologies to address issues related to understanding and improving agricultural sustainability in the food production process. The transformation from industrial to sustainable agriculture is discussed within the frameworks of new biotechnologies and global environmental changes. While considering this transformation the book covers:The use of new biotechnologies to help in the creation of more sustainable agricultural practices including methods in molecular biology genetic engineering and the new emerging technologies such as metabolomics metagenomics nutrigenomics and ionomicsThe path to reach the goal of the global sustainable agricultural and food production systems in a world of limited natural resources and growing environmental degradationPrinciples that regulate the new agricultural and food production systems including breeding programs for more sustainable crops soil management and environment preservation It is clear that biotechnological approaches will become increasingly important in the future and that a shift from industrial to a sustainable agriculture will be necessary. While many books tend to make a quick and easy link between these two different worlds Sustainable Agriculture and New Biotechnologies describes exactly how omics can contribute to greater food productivity and security and agricultural sustainability in the future.

Interpretation of Algebraic Inequalities Practical Engineering Optimisation and Generating New Knowledge

Interpretation of Algebraic Inequalities Practical Engineering Optimisation and Generating New Knowledge

This book introduces a new method based on algebraic inequalities for optimising engineering systems and processes with applications in mechanical engineering materials science electrical engineering reliability engineering risk management and operational research. This book shows that the application potential of algebraic inequalities in engineering and technology is far-reaching and certainly not restricted to specifying design constraints. Algebraic inequalities can handle deep uncertainty associated with design variables and control parameters. With the method presented in this book powerful new knowledge about systems and processes can be generated through meaningful interpretation of algebraic inequalities. This book demonstrates how the generated knowledge can be put into practice through covering the algebraic inequalities suitable for interpretation in different contexts and describing how to apply this knowledge to enhance system and process performance. Depending on the specific interpretation knowledge applicable to different systems from different application domains can be generated from the same algebraic inequality. Furthermore an important class of algebraic inequalities has been introduced that can be used for optimising systems and processes in any area of science and technology provided that the variables and the separate terms of the inequalities are additive quantities. With the presented various examples and solutions this book will be of interest to engineers students and researchers in the field of optimisation engineering design reliability engineering risk management and operational research. | Interpretation of Algebraic Inequalities Practical Engineering Optimisation and Generating New Knowledge
