Biofuels from Algae

Chapter 4. Respirometric Balance and Carbon Fixation of Industrially Important Algae

By: Eduardo Bittencourt Sydney,Alessandra Cristine Novak,Julio Cesar de Carvalho,Carlos Ricardo Soccol

Despite being known for a long time, microalgae are gaining importance in recent decades because of their high capacity to fixate atmospheric carbon, assisting in the reduction of global warming. Concurrently with carbon fixation, the production of compounds of commercial interest and reuse of industrial and domestic wastewater turned microalgal culture into one of the most commented-on subjects in the scientific community. In this chapter the photosynthetic metabolism of microalgae is described and discussed, with emphasis on carbon sequestration. The chapter covers the basics of growing algae, the most influential factors in CO2 fixation, and quantification methodologies. Practical data on rates of carbon fixation by microalgae are presented, especially those genera of algae with the greatest potential for industrial application: Spirulina, Chlorella, Haematococcus, Dunaliella, and Botryococcus. Finally, aspects of the growing global carbon market and the role microalgal technologies can play are also discussed.

On Both Sides of the Strait of Gibraltar

Studies in the history of medieval astronomy in the Iberian Peninsula and the Maghrib

By: Julio Samsó

In On Both Sides of the Strait of Gibraltar Julio Samsó shows that astronomical sources, written in al-Andalus, the Maghrib and the Iberian Peninsula, belong to the same tradition and emphasizes the role of al-Andalus and the Iberian Peninsula in the transmission of Islamic astronomy to medieval Europe.

Forest Resource Policy in Latin America

By: Ronnie de Camino,Julio C. Tresierra,Ramón López,Thomas Kelly,Markku Simula,Kari Keipi,Carlos Felipe Jaramillo,Olli Haltia,Jared J. Hardner,Marc J. Dourojeanni,Jan G. Laarman,Richard Rice

Forest Resource Policy in Latin America" gathers the thinking of a score of experts on sustainable use and management of forests, including incentives for investment. The authors tackle the thorny social issues of property rights, deforestation, and forest management and ownership by indigenous people and take a hard look at the trade and environmental issues in forest production that will affect future directions for sustainable forestry development in Latin America. Some argue that the main opportunity to conserve natural forests lies in recognizing and paying for the environmental services they provide. In addition, compensatory measures such as the establishment and better management of strictly protected areas appear to be the best tools to delay the loss of ecosystems and species. Alternative forest concession policies and trade and environmental issues in forest production are also analyzed.

The Neotropical Polymorphic Earless Praying Mantises

A taxonomic review of the genera and checklist of species

By: Julio Rivera,Gavin J. Svenson

Recent phylogenetic studies on evolutionary relationships within the Acanthopoidea, known as “polymorphic earless praying mantises,” revealed numerous issues with the taxonomic status and morphological boundaries of many genera and species within this superfamily. The authors of this monograph present a thorough morphological assessment based on museum specimens and reexamination of type material, aimed toward redefining the morphological delineation of all Acanthopoidea genera, verifying the generic identity of all nominal species within the superfamily, and establishing taxonomic and nomenclatural foundations for future revisionary studies of acanthopoid genera. Their work resulted in numerous modifications in the taxonomy of this lineage, including the description of a new genus.

A Cultural History of Copyright

From Books to Networks

By: Julio Carvalho

Combining philosophical and historical perspectives, this book focuses on the rise of a legal institution that has dominated the economy of knowledge ever since it burst onto the scene at the dawn of modernity in the heartlands of Europe. From the age of print to the age of networks and disruptive technologies, this book explores the place of copyright amid the various conceptual transformations it has undergone over time. Uniquely, it presents an in-depth philosophical treatment of the cultural history of copyright from its beginnings to the present. Although copyright is a central topic, the content is by no means limited to it. The main question the author seeks to answer is: how do legal institutions emerge and how do they evolve over time? Though copyright is a wonderful example for tackling this question, a selection of other institutions, such as the social practice of promising in eighteenth-century Britain, are also addressed at considerable length. What the author has managed to show in this book is that the transformations which modern law has undergone since the eighteenth century are inextricably linked to those which have shaped the modern subject to the core. Law forms part of those great schemes of intelligibility that allow us to understand ourselves better. We need to delve deep into the multiple layers of culture if we want to fully understand how the morphology and cultural archaeology of our legal institutions intertwine.
