Evaluating Outbreak Potential of Infections in Tropical Climates: Preventing the Pandemics of the Future
(2025-01-01)
Mphande, Fingani Annie
;
Nyasulu, Peter Suwirakwenda
This book is a unique compilation that considers tropical diseases, including neglected, emerging, and re-emerging diseases, in the broader context of public health in society in low and middle-income countries. The book conducts a post-COVID-19 review on various public health issues in these settings, including mental health in people living with HIV, to diagnostics and disease prevention in resource limited settings. Following the onslaught of SARS-CoV2 on the human race and the significant healthcare challenges faced in low and middle-income countries, the pandemic brought to light the value of understanding infectious diseases that have great potential to degenerate into pandemics, and cause significant morbidity and mortality. The authors advocate that a focused, effective response and approach is essential moving forward. This includes—but is not limited to—clinical as well as public health intervention, vaccine development, and confronting the challenges of vaccine delivery, in the contexts of differential social and cultural paradigms and beliefs. This book provides pathways for future responses to such similar infectious diseases pandemics. Topics include connections between migration and Ebola, a highly infectious, outbreak-prone disease with devastating consequences; the multifaceted impacts of rabies, a neglected tropical disease affecting populations especially in low resource settings, as well as cholera, an outbreak-prone disease affecting populations in humanitarian settings and low income countries. Connecting public health, medical practice and policy, mental health, and society, this book is relevant to practitioners and scholars working in public health arenas and in areas of migration, development studies, and mental health.

Kingkaew, Engkarat
Yeast, with its roots in taxonomy and ecology, has become a crucial element in modern biotechnology. It offers profound insights into genetic diversity and ecological roles. This book explores yeast's lasting importance and its significant impact across various scientific disciplines and societal contexts. Yeast serves as a catalyst for scientific innovation and contributes to sustainable advancements in biotechnology and beyond. The importance of yeast is multifaceted. In taxonomy and ecology, yeast is vital for understanding industrial yeast taxonomy, distribution, and ecological adaptations. Genomic analysis of yeast provides critical insights, with practical applications such as astaxanthin production. In biotechnology, yeast is essential for producing alcoholic beverages. It is involved in traditional fermentation processes and the sensory complexities of these beverages. Yeast also offers potential health benefits associated with moderate alcohol consumption and has a significant influence on Asian alcoholic beverages. Additionally, yeast plays a crucial role in the production of amino acids, lipid synthesis for biofuels and cosmetics, and the use of yeast beta-glucan in cosmeceuticals. Yeast significantly contributes to health-focused foods by providing nutritional benefits in bread and baking and acting as probiotics in fermented foods. Its role is especially notable in Japanese fermented foods. In agriculture, yeast is used in animal feed additives and demonstrates biocontrol potential. Its bioactive compounds effectively mitigate plant diseases and enhance crop yield, highlighting its importance in sustainable agricultural practices.

Biological Insulating Liquids: New Insulating Liquids for High Voltage Engineering
(2023-01-01)
Pagger, Ernst Peter

Pattanadech, Norasage

Uhlig, Frank
;
Muhr, Michael
This book describes the state-of-the-art use of biological insulating liquids in detail. In recent years, more and more transformers filled with esters have been put into operation. This is because people recognize the benefits of ester liquids in terms of their fire safety (high flash and fire points) and environmental characteristics, judging from their biodegradability, their low CO2 footprint (only valid for natural ester) and their beneficial interactions with solid insulation, etc. One of the main reasons is that the water adsorption and absorption characteristics of these liquids are excellent and very different compared to mineral oil. The today’s discussion about climate change and global warming is an additional driver for using natural ester. Another advantage is that transformers filled with biological insulating liquids can operate with an overload of up to 150%. This is advantageous in the case of volatile energy generation from wind and solar power and in the supply of electrical energy for electromobility. Liquid inside electrical equipment is the lifeblood that serves both as a dielectric and a cooling medium. Some properties of these liquids differ from mineral oil, which had to be considered in the transformer design. The dielectric liquid is always in direct contact with transformer materials; therefore, the interaction should be very well understood, especially when retrofilling an existing mineral oil filled device. There are several natural ester fluids derived from various seeds and fruits on the market, and their properties may differ more or less. In the book, the most important properties of the different biological insulating fluids and mineral oil are compared. Ester fluids have already found their way into various standards. The condition of the device can be verified very well from the contents of the insulating liquids. For analysis and testing, the same equipment and devices that are commonly used for mineral oil are used for ester liquid. The chemical and physical behaviors of ester fluids compared to mineral oil are different. This must always be considered when interpreting test results stemming from ester fluids. The book is a guideline for students, original equipment manufacturers, users, laboratories and authorities in the use of biological insulating liquids.

Thai Cinema: The Complete Guide
(2018-01-01)
Ainslie, Mary J.
;
Ancuta, Katarzyna
One of the fastest growing and most internationally renowned cinemas in Southeast Asia is that of Thailand. In the first ever book devoted solely to this major centre of creative filmmaking, experts on contemporary and historic Thai film provide a timely overview and discussion of key films, directors and current movements in the region in a comprehensive encyclopaedia format. What many critics, analysts and scholars have retrospectively christened `New Thai Cinema' began to take shape in the late 1990s when national film moved away from its position as lower-class and provincial entertainment and became a firm fixture in Bangkok multiplexes and festivals worldwide. This book will provide information on the influential figures behind the films - up to and succeeding the 1997 watershed film Dang Bireley's and Young Gangsters that began the breakaway movement - as well as detailing and explaining the traditions of popular and art-house genres specific to Thailand. Featuring contributions on Thai visionaries such as Apichatpong Weerasethakul and Wisit Sasanatieng and providing rare insight into early Thai cinema, this is an essential scholarly guide to a vibrant aspect of Southeast Asian cinema - its history, industry and aesthetic trends - for scholars and students alike.
