This book, with 21 chapters by 57 accomplished international researchers, reports on the recent advances of biochar research and the global status of biochar application. Scientific findings, uncertainties, and barriers to practice of biochar amendment for sustaining soil fertility, improving crop production, promoting animal performance, remediating water and land, and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions are synthesized. The book presents a whole picture of biochar in its production, characterization, application, and development. Agricultural and Environmental Applications of Biochar: Advances and Barrier highlights the mechanisms and processes of biochar amendment for achieving stunning agricultural and environmental benefits. Composition and characteristics of biochar, its interactions with contaminants and soil constituents, and its transformation in the environment are illustrated to enlighten the achievements of biochar amendment in improving soil physical, chemical, and biological quality and animal health, reducing soil greenhouse gas emissions, and decontaminating stormwater and mine sites. Additional emphasis is given to the pyrogenic carbon in Terra Preta soils and Japanese Andosols, the pyrolysis technology for converting agricultural byproducts to biochar, and the existing economic and technical barriers to wide application of biochar in Australia, China, New Zealand, North America, and Europe. Readers will appreciate the comprehensive review on the up-to-date biochar research and application and gain critical guidance in best biochar generation and utilization.

Описание: Biosensors combine the component of biological origin and physicochemical detector, in order to showing the presence of analyte in a given sample. The use of bionanotechnology has led to a significant advancement in the progression of nanobiosensor and it has been used effectively for biomedical diagnosis. The generation of high-performance biosensors could be a basic platform for the identification causative agents and subsides the disease spreading through surveillance. . Biosensors have already been demonstrated their efficacy in the detection of life-threatening diseases and attested to be an appropriate tool for forecasting emerging diseases. The quality of sensor is determined by its level of sensitivity and specificity, and it is possible with proper substrate selection having fine-tuned hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity can significantly alter the bio-fouling and it enhances the reliability of biosensor. The affordability of sensor to detect wide range molecules from small molecules to whole will create a common platform to overcome the current issues with naontheranostics. . Nanobiosensors for Bio-molecular Targeting is a valuable reference resource that will help readers learn more about the latest analytical methods for detection of different substances in the range of small molecules to whole cells, exploring the advantages and disadvantages of each method.
