Perfluoroalkyl Substances in the Environment Theory Practice and Innovation

Perfluoroalkyl Substances in the Environment Theory Practice and Innovation

Per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) often referred to as per- (and poly) fluorinated compounds (PFCs) have been used for years in many everyday¾ and some lifesaving¾ products. However their use has been linked to adverse health effects in humans a problem compounded by their persistence in the environment. This book discusses the various challenges of PFAS in our environment today including their historical use as well as their chemical and toxicological properties. It also presents robust discussion of analytical challenges and special considerations in sampling. The work goes on to give practical recommendations for dealing with these compounds in today's dynamic regulatory landscape and includes several chapters on various remediation techniques. Key Features: Comprehensive overview of per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) historical use and chemical/physical properties which help us understand their persistence transport and transformation pathways in the environment In-depth analysis of PFAS toxicology Detailed descriptions of conventional and state-of-the-art remediation technologies Practical recommendations for dealing with PFAS in a dynamic regulatory landscape Robust discussion of important sampling and analytical considerations Perfluoroalkyl Substances in the Environment: Theory Practice and Innovation explores the challenges across the topical areas of regulation and management toxicology environmental remediation and analytical sampling and analysis. Readers will find this text helpful in understanding complexities associated with PFAS and informing management strategies to effectively protect this and future generations. | Perfluoroalkyl Substances in the Environment Theory Practice and Innovation

LeanSpeak The Productivity Business Improvement Dictionary

LeanSpeak The Productivity Business Improvement Dictionary

This dictionary specific to lean business processes contains over 500 terms used in lean management and manufacturing. Easy to access accurate and comprehensive LeanSpeak will become the desktop tool of choice for lean manufacturing practitioners from the shop floor to the corner office. Here are some examples of entries in LeanSpeak:gemba: Japanese word of which the literal translation is the real place. In the manufacturing field gemba means the shop floor where the actual product is being made as contrasted to the office where support services are provided. lean: shorthand to refer to a lean manufacturing system of which the Toyota Production System is the foremost example that has relatively little non-value-adding waste and maximum flow. The term has been used pejoratively to refer to anti-labor practices intending to reduce the number of workers within a company and to strong-arm tactics with suppliers. takt time: the rate at which product must be turned out to satisfy market demand. It is determined by dividing the available production time by the rate of customer demand. For example if customers demand 240 widgets per day and the factory operates 480 minutes per day takt time is two minutes. If customers want two new products designed per month takt time is two weeks. It is a calculated number not a reflection of your capability. It sets the pace of production to match the rate of customer demand. Also available as an ebook in Microsoft Reader Adobe Acrobat Reader or Palm Reader formats. | LeanSpeak The Productivity Business Improvement Dictionary

Families

Families

In 'Families' Jane Howard informally visits many dozens of families and tries to discover what makes the best ones work so well. Families are not dying she finds although they are evolving in various ways. From the tightest-knit nuclear family or extended clan to the most fragile new commune the family in one guise or another remains everybody's most basic hold on reality. We may run away from our families as many do but no sooner do we escape than we find another one often very much like it. Sympathetically with immense thrust she crosses the continent to discover families' myths jokes and rituals. She leafs through their scrapbooks sits on their porches and takes part when she can in their feasts and celebrations. She talks to a father of eighteen several double first cousins stepchildren multiple godmothers an honorary relative of an Indian tribe and a nine-year-old boy who has no family but his mother. She sits with a matriarch on the front stoop of a ghetto house goes camping with a family in Mexico has Thanksgiving with another in Iowa and orders pizza with a Greek clan in Massachusetts. Howard reports on visits to conventional Southern and Jewish households and to innovative ones whose members lacking a common history plan on building common futures as if water were after all as thick as blood. She examines the notion that there are ways and ways of achieving kinship of which birth and marriage are only the most obvious. Millions of clans and families all over the United States continue to celebrate quarrel disband reunite and endure. Jane Howard makes us realize how our lives are interwoven both with the families we are born into and with those we invent as we go through life. 'Families' is compassionate provocative and profound. The paperback edition of this important work will be essential reading for all those with an interest in the study of familial bonds particularly sociologists anthropologists and psychologists.

Genome Editing in Plants Principles and Applications

Genome Editing in Plants Principles and Applications

Genome Editing in Plants: Principles and Applications addresses the information of genome editing starting from principles and historical aspects to the latest advancements in the field. As genome-editing technology has emerged as promising and cutting edge researchers around the world have started producing original research outputs which have significantly improved our current understanding and potential of this technology. The initial chapters of this book describe different genome-editing tools as well as their principles and applications. Other chapters are dedicated to the present status and future applications of genome-editing techniques in various crop improvement programmes. Some of the advanced applications of CRISPR/Cas tools such as base editing and RNA detection along with regulatory aspects of genome-edited crops are described in detail. This book serves as a valuable resource to researchers in the field of crop improvement; graduate and postgraduate students engaged in plant molecular biology and biotechnology; academicians; and policy makers. Key Features: Addresses topics associated with historical development and principles of genome-editing technology Addresses basic mechanisms operating under each genome-editing technology Addresses its application in plants to design crops as per the current and future demands Addresses the regulatory mechanisms of genome-edited crops | Genome Editing in Plants Principles and Applications
