Energy Diversity for Carbon Neutrality
We are currently experiencing the greatest change in the economy since the industrial revolution: the transition to net-zero emissions.The book aims to educate professionals, industries and consumers on the diverse energy mix needed for power generation. This mix must meet the growing demand for energy, protect the climate and promote economic growth by making energy affordable for both households and businesses. Kafafi discusses three main issues: high carbon emissions, energy supply shortages and high costs, as well as the importance of all stakeholders contributing to the energy transition strategy. He argues that a diverse energy mix including renewables, natural gas plants and advanced nuclear reactors, is essential for both energy security and climate health. Encouraging industries to improve energy efficiency through emissions taxes and educating customers on energy conservation will accelerate this transition. Additionally, a modern power grid is crucial for the success of this shift towards a green economy, and innovations are expected to reduce the cost of expensive carbon capture technologies.

Agro-Industrial Waste for New Pharmaceuticals
This book is written to foster discussions on the valorization of agro-industrial waste as a raw material for bioactive compounds that can assist in disease containment, the protection of soil resources, and consequently, human health. The agro-industry encompasses a broad spectrum of activities focused on transforming raw materials from agriculture, livestock, aquaculture, and forestry. In addition to producing a diverse range of goods, these processes generate substantial amounts of residual biomass from various cultivation and processing systems. In this context, the intensification of climate change and the overexploitation of natural resources have been major drivers of emerging infectious diseases. A recent and impactful example is SARS-CoV-2, which escalated into a global pandemic with severe mortality rates. Additionally, Latin America has experienced a sharp rise in dengue cases, prompting the Pan American Health Organization to issue an epidemiological alert due to the increasing incidence of arboviruses across the region. Given the need to explore possibilities for valuing and utilizing agro-industrial waste, this book presents the potential of this material in the context of human health. The authors present a comprehensive review of recent research on pyroligneous liquid as a rich source of bioactive compounds, alongside the use of biochar and bone char in water treatment and herbicide immobilization in soil. Additionally, the book provides an in-depth analysis of methodologies for extracting bioactive compounds from "a癟a穩" (Euterpe oleracea and E. precatoria) waste, highlighting its potential for high-value applications. In this way, the book highlights the challenges and opportunities to transform these materials into beneficial resources, both for the environment and for society, contributing to the advancement of public health and environmental conservation in the context of climate change.

Physiology for Engineers
This book introduces both qualitative and quantitative aspects of human physiology through language and concepts familiar to engineers and other physical scientists. It looks at biological and physiological processes and phenomena, including a selection of mathematical models, showing how physiological problems can be mathematically formulated and studied. It also illustrates how a wide range of engineering and physics topics, including electronics, fluid dynamics, solid mechanics and control theory can be used to describe and understand physiological processes and systems. Throughout the text there are introductions to measuring and quantifying physiological processes using both signal and imaging technologies. Physiology for Engineers describes the basic structure and models of cellular systems, the structure and function of the cardiovascular system, the electrical and mechanical activity of the heart and provides an overview of the structure and function of the respiratory and nervous systems. It also includes an introduction to the basic concepts and applications of reaction kinetics, compartmental modelling and its application to pharmacokinetics and tracer kinetics. The book is of interest to final year biomedical engineering undergraduates and graduate students alike, as well as to practising engineers new to the fields of bioengineering or medical physics. This new edition is fully revised and updated with two completely rewritten chapters on compartmental modelling, demonstrated in application to pharmacokinetics, and multi-scale modelling demonstrated by how to go from "from cells to tissue" in describing physiological systems. The book contains interleaved exercises to make the book even more useful for instructors and students for a one-semester course.

Financing and Charges for Wastewater Systems
Financing and Charges for Wastewater Systems, MOP 27, 5th Edition provides an overview of current industry practices that should be considered for financing and establishing rates and charges for wastewater collection and treatment systems. In addition, this Manual of Practice reflects and is responsive to changes in the industry over the last decade that have occasioned a heightened awareness about wastewater utility financial management and the equitable distribution of cost responsibilities across customer groups or classes. These changes, including tightening environmental regulation and replacement of aging infrastructure, have resulted in a pronounced increase in the cost of wastewater services. At the same time, the portion of costs paid through federal and state assistance programs have declined, challenging the affordability of this vital service. In this context, guidance on wastewater rate-setting practices, and particularly the distribution of costs across groups, is of critical importance.
