ISBN: 9783030806767 / Angielski / Miękka / 266 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Plants, being sessile and autotrophic in nature, must cope with challenging environmental aberrations and therefore have evolved various responsive or defensive mechanisms including stress sensing mechanisms, antioxidant system, signaling pathways, secondary metabolites biosynthesis, and other defensive pathways among which accumulation of osmolytes or osmo-protectants is an important phenomenon. Osmolytes with organic chemical nature termed as compatible solutes are highly soluble compounds with no net charge at physiological pH and nontoxic at higher concentrations to plant cells....

Opportunities and Challenges in Climate-Friendly Clean Water and Energy Technologies
ISBN: 9781668473047 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Demand for energy and water is increasing as a result of rapid economic, population, and industrial growth. By 2050, it is expected that global energy consumption will nearly double in tandem with world water demand. Because of competing demands for finite resources, existing water and energy systems are limited in their ability to satisfy these expanding needs. Furthermore, rapid population and industrial development inevitably result in the generation of a significant amount of wastewater laden with toxins, persistent inorganic and organic pollutants, and other toxic emissions emitted from...
