This book identifies microbial technology and engineering as essential and important subject areas of engineering and applied sciences. For recoveries of products, the knowledge of bioconversions, bioremediations and biotransformation are found to be essential to identify the potentiality of specific microbes and their uses in genetic engineering. It is well-known that microbes could modify the process of chemical units, involved in chemical and biochemical processes. However, it should be emphasised that the knowledge has to be developed to differentiate the microbes, as designed by genetic...

For all of our advances in health care and achievements in public health that have contributed to an increased life expectancy, there still remain persistent problems in one's community that are public health in origin. These persistent public health problems are well-studied from an academic standpoint, yet they evade a solution that is practical, economical, and socially just. These are complex, community-based, public health problems that disproportionally impact minority and immigrant populations. This book explores this topic in greater detail. Specifically, what have we, as public...
