This volume offers environmentally friendly technical solutions that can be implemented to solve problems throughout the value chain of the fossil fuel industry. This new book presents an up-to date view of hydrocarbon microbiology and biotechnology, presented by experts around the world with interest in how our expanding understanding of hydrocarbonoclast ecology and physiology can translate to better tools for bioremediation, oil recovery, bio-upgrading of unconventional crudes, the development of biorefining technologies, and the production of hydrogen and electricity from hydrocarbon wastes. The common theme across the chapters in this book is an interest in how developing hydrocarbon biotechnologies may reduce our impact on the global environment.Written by eminent scientists from both academia and industry, the book starts with a historical perspective on hydrocarbon chemistry and formation, petroleum microbiology, and biotechnology. This is followed by a review of recent research developments in bioremediation and other biotechnologies for hydrocarbons, the principal constituents of petroleum and natural gas.

Analytical pyrolysis allows scientists to use routine laboratory instrumentation for analyzing complex, opaque, or insoluble samples more effectively than other analytical techniques alone. Analytical Pyrolysis Handbook, Third Edition is a practical guide to the application of pyrolysis techniques to various samples and sample types for a diversity of fields including microbiology, forensic science, industrial research, and environmental analysis.The much-anticipated third edition incorporates recent technological advances that increase the technique's sensitivity to trace elements, improve its reproducibility, and expand its applicability. The book reviews the types of instrumentation available to perform pyrolysis and offers guidance for interfacing instruments and integrating other analytical techniques, including gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. Fully updated with new sample pyrograms, figures, references, and real-world examples, this edition also highlights new areas of application including cultural materials, forensic analysis, and environmental studies.This book illustrates how the latest advances make pyrolysis a practical, cost-effective, reliable, and flexible alternative for increasingly complex sample analyses. Analytical Pyrolysis Handbook, Third Edition is an essential, one-stop guide for determining if pyrolysis meets application-specific needs as well as performing pyrolysis and handling the data obtained.

This book explores the role of social relations in the ways that people construct, mobilize and consume meaning about wellbeing in a police organization. It traverses ethnographic data and captures insights from individuals, revealing ideological-laden tensions across the hierarchy.

The book is designed to highlight the utility of supramolecular systems in diverse areas such as sensing of ionic and molecular analytes, aggregation, artificial molecular machines, biology, and medicine. The synthetic chemistry of a diverse set of supramolecules encompassing various supramolecular interactions involved in driving macrocyclic architectures is discussed. Attempts have been made to cover unique features of macrocycles viz. control over shape, size, and valency along with supramolecular interactions, which direct complex supramolecular systems. The book also provides a discussion on the similarity between macrocyclic host-guest systems and biomolecules, which lay the foundation of building modern artificial molecular motors and switches like protein machines for application in diverse areas. The authors hope that the book will appeal to a wider audience of students and researchers in academics and/or industries.

New innovations are needed for the invention of more efficient, affordable, sustainable and renewable energy systems, as well as for the mitigation of climate change and global environmental issues. In response to a fast-growing interest in the realm of renewable energy, Renewable Energy Systems: Efficiency, Innovation and Sustainability identifies a need to synthesize relevant and up-to-date information in a single volume. This book describes a systems approach to renewable energy, including technological, political, economic, social and environmental viewpoints, as well as policies and benefits. This unique and concise text, encompassing all aspects of the field in a single source, focuses on truly promising innovative and affordable renewable energy systems.Key Features:Focuses on innovations in renewable energy systems that are affordable and sustainableCollates the most relevant and up-to-date information on renewable energy systems, in a single and unique volumeDiscusses lifecycle assessment, cost and availability of systemsEmphasizes bio-related topicsProvides a systems approach to the renewable energy technologies and discusses technological, political, economic, social, and environmental viewpoints as well as policies

5. UDGAVE AF LÆREBOGSKLASSIKERENDet er vigtigt at sætte sig ind de kemiske, fysiske, biologiske og psykiske eksponeringer, der er i vores omgivelser, hvis man vil forstå, hvordan vores miljø og arbejdsmiljøpåvirker vores sundhedstilstand og arbejdsevne. Denne 5. udgave er gennemgribende fagligt og visuelt opdateret med den nyeste viden om miljø- og arbejdsmedicin. To helt nye kapitler berører henholdsvis klimaforandringer og et internationalt perspektiv, ligesom aktuel viden om COVID-19 er tilføjet i kapitlet om smitsomme sygdomme. Flere aktuelle cases, test din viden-spørgsmål og opdaterede grafer er samtidig prioriteret for at hjælpe forståelsen. Bogen henvender sig primært til medicinstuderende ved landets fire fakulteter, hvor den er særligt relevant for specialerne almen medicin, lungemedicin, dermatologi, ortopædkirurgi og reumatologi. Bogen kan med fordel også bruges som opslagsværk og ved andre sundhedsfaglige uddannelser.

This fully updated third edition offers a comprehensive survey of the field of occupational health psychology.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2018 im Fachbereich VWL - Gesundheitsökonomie, Note: 1,0, Hochschule Fresenius; Köln, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wird fokussiert analysiert, ob Präventions- und Gesundheitsförderungsprogrammen neben vielen Vorteilen für Mitarbeitende auch zur Kostenreduktion im Unternehmen führen und demnach einen gesundheitsökonomischen Beitrag leisten. Heutzutage verfolgt nahezu jeder Mensch das Ziel, möglichst viele Jahre seine möglichst langen Lebens in Gesundheit und ohne krankheitsbedingte Einschränkungen zu verbringen. Gesunde Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter stellen auch für das Unternehmen, in dem sie angestellt sind, einen Mehrwert dar, indem beispielsweise Krankheitsausfälle und frühzeitige Renteneintritte vermindert auftreten. Daher versuchen Betriebe häufig, durch Präventions- und Gesundheitsförderungsprogramme zur Gesunderhaltung ihrer Belegschaft beizutragen.
