Applications in Forensic Proteomics: Protein Identification and Profiling
Edited by Eric D. Merkley
Publication date: November 8, 2019
Proteomics is formally defined as the study of the proteome—the set of all proteins expressed in a cell, tissue, or organism—and its changes with changing environmental conditions. In practice, the term proteomics has come to mean the technologies and techniques used to identify and quantitate (in relative or absolute terms) a very large number of proteins (hundreds to thousands) in a single analysis. As the title of this book suggests, the aim is to give a flavor of the various areas of forensics, broadly defined, in which proteomics is poised to make an important impact.

Understanding Lignocellulose: Synergistic Computational and Analytic Methods
Edited by Micholas Dean Smith
Publication date: September 25, 2019
Lignocellulose is the most abundant source of renewable carbon on Earth and has been used by humanity, in one form or another, for millennia. The need to mitigate climate change is ever more pressing and it is necessary to maximize our utilization of renewable and abundant sources of carbon. One solution is to make use of lignocellulose for humanity’s carbon needs. This book aims to serve as an introduction to advanced analytic and computational approaches for studying and using lignocellulose.

Next-Generation Biomanufacturing Technologies
Edited by Navanietha Krishnaraj Rathinam and Rajesh K. Sani
Publication date: December 3, 2019
There is a growing demand for products with highly specific characteristics including stereochemical characteristics, especially in the biomedical, food, and agribiotechnology sectors. Biomanufacturing strategies help to precisely tailor molecules for different applications with desired properties and functions. This book aims to introduce advanced biomanufacturing technologies to produce biofuels and electrofuels, enzymes, pre- and probiotics, biocompatible nanomaterials, pharmaceuticals, biofuels, and biopolymers to the readers.

Pesticides in Surface Water: Monitoring, Modeling, Risk Assessment, and Management
Edited by Kean S. Goh, Jay Gan, Dirk F. Young, and Yuzhou Luo
Publication date: March 26, 2019
The increasing use of newer pesticides such as the pyrethroids, neonicotinoids, and fipronil has resulted in their ubiquitous occurrence in surface waters and led to observations of adverse effects on aquatic organisms. The widespread contamination has stimulated active discussions and research on monitoring, aquatic toxicology, risk assessment, modeling, mitigation, and regulatory efforts to minimize contamination and protect environmental integrity. In this book, we cover comprehensively the latest knowledge, information, and technology to measure, assess, model and manage pesticide contamination in surface water.
