Biological energetics
New York : Nova publishers, [2017]This book presents a complete review of biological energetics and responds systematically that there is no possible activity without bio-energy in the living bodies. In this case, we elucidate and describe concretely the generations of bio-energy and its properties, regulation of bio-energy metabolism, bio-energy transport and its theoretical description, the stability of bio-energy transport, the experimental evidences of correctness of bio-energy theory and its wide applications, as well as the use of bio-energy in living systems involving animals, plants and human beings. Additionally, the biological phenomena, processes and effects related to bio-energy are also delineated, explained and shed light on theoretical calculations and analyses, numerical simulations and experimental measurements using biology, molecular biology and biophysics. This book contains seven chapters, in which 380 pages and a great number of illustrations and figures reveal the theoretical and experimental results. It is intended for researchers, teachers, graduate students and upper-level undergraduate students.

Ecosystem services [electronic resource] : global issues, local practices
San Diego, CA : Elsevier Science, 2014.Ecosystem Services: Global Issues, Local Practices covers scientific input, socioeconomic considerations, and governance issues on ecosystem services. This book provides hands-on transdisciplinary reflections by administrators and sector representatives involved in the ecosystem service community. Ecosystem Services develops shared approaches and scientific methods to achieve knowledge-based sustainable planning and management of ecosystem services. Professionals engaged in ecosystem service implementation have two options: de-emphasize the ecological and socioeconomic.Ecosystem Services: Global Issues, Local Practices covers scientific input, socioeconomic considerations, and governance issues on ecosystem services. This book provides hands-on transdisciplinary reflections by administrators and sector representatives involved in the ecosystem service community. Ecosystem Services develops shared approaches and scientific methods to achieve knowledge-based sustainable planning and management of ecosystem services. Professionals engaged in ecosystem service implementation have two options: de-emphasize the ecological and socioeconomic complexity and advance in the theoretical, abstract field, or try to develop research that is policy relevant and inclusive in an uncertain environment. This book provides a wide overview of issues at stake, of interest for any professional wishing to develop a broader view on ecosystem service science and practice.

Mineral property evaluation : handbook for feasibility studies and due diligence
Englewood, Colorado, USA : Society for Mining, Metallurgy & Exploration (SME), [2018]Everything" sums up what must be considered for a properly documented property evaluation. Less than 30% of the projects that are developed in the minerals industry yield the return on investment that was projected from the project feasibility studies. The tools described in this handbook will greatly improve the probability of meeting your projections and minimizing project execution capital cost blowout that has become so prevalent in this industry in recent years. Mineral Property Evaluation provides guidelines to follow in performing mineral property feasibility and evaluation studies and due diligence, and in preparing proper documents for bankable presentations. It highlights the need for a consistent, systematic methodology in performing evaluation and feasibility work. The objective of a feasibility and evaluation study should be to assess the value of the undeveloped or developed mineral property and to convey these findings to the company that is considering applying technical and physical changes to bring the property into production of a mineral product. The analysis needs to determine the net present worth returned to the company for investing in these changes and to reach that decision point as early as possible and with the least amount of money spent on the evaluation study. All resources are not reserves, nor are all minerals an ore. The successful conclusion of any property evaluation depends on the development, work, and conclusions of the project team. The handbook has a diverse audience: Professionals in the minerals industry that perform mineral property evaluations. Companies that have mineral properties and perform mineral property feasibility studies and evaluations or are buying properties based on property evaluation. Financial institutions, both domestic and overseas, that finance or raise capital for the minerals industry. Consulting firms and architectural and engineering contractors that utilize mineral property feasibility studies and need standards to follow. And probably the most important, the mining and geological engineering students and geology and economic geology students that need to learn the standards that they should follow throughout their careers.
