Lactic Acid Bacteria A Functional Approach

Lactic Acid Bacteria A Functional Approach

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are a diverse group of bacteria that comprise low GC content Gram-positive cocci or rods that produces lactic acid as the major end product of the fermentation process. Bifidobacterium genera may also be considered as a part of the LAB group for possessing some similar phenotypical characteristics despite the higher GC content. The key feature of LAB metabolism is efficient carbohydrate fermentation. This contributes to the production of several microbial metabolites that result in the improvement of flavor and texture of fermented foods in addition to its positive impact on the human health when LAB is administered as a probiotic. The book deals with advances made in the functionalities of LAB such as their effect on vitamin D receptor expression impact on neurodegenerative pathologies production of B-vitamins for food bio-enrichment production of bacteriocins to improve gut microbiota dysbiosis production of metabolites from polyphenols and their effects on human health effect on reducing the immunoreaction of food allergens as biological system using time-temperature to improve food safety and the use of probiotics in animal feed. The book also reviews the use of LAB and probiotic technologies to develop new functional foods and functional pharmaceuticals. | Lactic Acid Bacteria A Functional Approach

Geocryology Characteristics and Use of Frozen Ground and Permafrost Landforms

Geocryology Characteristics and Use of Frozen Ground and Permafrost Landforms

This book provides a general survey of Geocryology which is the study of frozen ground called permafrost. Frozen ground is the product of cold climates as well as a variety of environmental factors. Its major characteristic is the accumulation of large quantities of ice which may exceed 90% by volume. Soil water changing to ice results in ground heaving while thawing of this ice produces ground subsidence often accompanied by soil flowage. Permafrost is very susceptible to changes in weather and climate as well as to changes in the microenvironment. Cold weather produces contraction of the ground resulting in cracking of the soil as well as breakup of concrete rock etc. Thus permafrost regions have unique landforms and processes not found in warmer lands. The book is divided into three parts. Part 1 provides an introduction to the characteristics of permafrost. Four chapters deal with its definition and characteristics the unique processes operating there the factors affecting it and its general distribution. Part 2 consists of seven chapters describing the characteristic landforms unique to these areas and the processes involved in their formation. Part 3 discusses the special problems encountered by engineers in construction projects including settlements roads and railways the oil and gas industry mining and the agricultural and forest industries. The three authors represent three countries and three language groups and together have over 120 years of experience of working in permafrost areas throughout the world. The book contains over 300 illustrations and photographs and includes an extensive bibliography in order to introduce the interested reader to the large current literature.

Ethics and the Practice of Forensic Science

Ethics and the Practice of Forensic Science

While one would hope that forensic scientists investigators and experts are intrinsically ethical by nature the reality is that these individuals have morality as varied as the general population. These professionals confront ethical dilemmas every day some with clear-cut protocols and others that frequently have no definitive answers. Since the publication of the first edition of Ethics and the Practice of Forensic Science the field of forensic science has continued to see its share of controversy. This runs the gamut of news stories from investigators lab personnel or even lab directors falsifying results committing perjury admitting to fraud to overturned convictions questions about bias ethics and what constitutes an expert on the witness stand. This fully updated edition tackles all these issues—including some specific instances and cases of unethical behavior—and addresses such salient issues as accreditation requirements standardization of ethical codes examiner certification and standards for education and training. The new edition provides:A new chapter on the Ferguson Effect faced by the criminal justice systemThe context of forensic science ethics in relation to general scientific ethics measurement uncertainty and ethics in criminal justice Ethical conundrums and real-world examples that forensic scientists confront every day The ethics and conduct codes of 20 different forensic and scientific professional organizations An outline of the National Academies of Science (NAS) recommendations and progress made on ethics in forensic science since the release of the NAS reportEthics and the Practice of Forensic Science Second Edition explores the range of ethical issues facing those who work in the forensic sciences—highlights the complicated nature of ethics and decision-making at the crime scene in the lab and in the courts. The book serves both as an essential resource for laboratories to train their employees and as an invaluable textbook for the growing number of courses on ethics in criminal justice and forensic science curricula. Accompanying PowerPoint® slides and an Instructor’s Manual with Test Bank are available to professors upon qualifying course adoption.
