Utilization of Fish WasteEdited by

Raul Perez GalvezUniversity of Granada, Spain

Jean-Pascal BergeLaboratory of Science and Technology of Marine Biomass, France

The shortage of marine resources calls for the implementation of new technological processes for providing a better utilization of waste and by-products from fisheries and fish processing activities. Most of these by-products are currently used as raw materials for animal feed. It is estimated that their utilization in human foodstuffs, nutraceuticals, pharmacy, or cosmetics would increase their value fivefold. This book discusses the opportunities for upgrading these materials by means of basic technologies such as hydrolysis, membrane ultrafiltration, and better handling techniques.

Peri-Urban LandscapesEdited by

Darryl Low ChoyGriffith University, Australia

Michael BuxtonRMI University, Australia

Jenny WadsworthGriffith University, Australia

This book discusses the relative lack of attention to Australian peri-urban regions and relates the Australian experience to international trends and challenges. Australian cities are expanding at an unprecedented rate into peri-urban regions but the commonwealth and state governments have not developed a regional policy to integrate planning for this growth and its impacts. Instead, development is incremental, and policy is reactive and fragmented. This book informs a wide cross section of interest groups about the problems and importance of peri-urban areas, policy approaches, and alternative futures for these regions.

But contrary to other disrupting technologies such as nuclear energy or genetics, the scientific community has started to investigate the risks associated with novel nanomaterials early in the development phase. Although there are still gaps in our knowledge of the risks presented by nanomaterials, we now know enough to describe scenarios that are too high-risk to implement as well as scenarios for the safe use of nanomaterials. The goal of this book is to help the reader in making such safely decisions.

Calcium and Magnesium in GroundwaterOccurrence and Significance for Human HealthEdited by

Lidia Razowska-JaworekPolish Geological Institute-NR, Sosnowiec, Poland

Calcium and magnesium are abundant in groundwater, but the role of groundwater as the essential source of these important nutrients is very often neglected. Hydrogeochemical studies are focused mainly on distribution and behaviour of constituents that cause deterioration of water quality, such as: nitrate, nitrite or iron, manganese. Therefore, most recent books and papers concentrate mainly on these water components and only a small number of papers describe results of groundwater studies on valuable water components as calcium or magnesium. Calcium and magnesium are of great importance to human health and inadequate intake of either nutrient can impair health. The main objective of this IAH Selected Papers book is to present the results of the studies on calcium and magnesium in groundwater as well as their importance for human health.
