This volume offers a variety of cases detailing microplastic and microfiber contamination and remediation. Microplastics and microfibers are omnipresent in the environment and even in human bodies, and their presence can cause negative effects in both. Prevention of microfiber and microplastics from entering the environment and mitigating the effect of pollutants that are already present are societal imperatives. Most existing literature on this topic focuses on identifying the presence an...

Environmental social scientist Urooj Raja explores how to promote environmental action through the repurposing of six hegemonic forces – anthropocentrism, extractivism, capitalism, legal hegemony, technofixes, and imaginative hegemony – drawing upon and offering practical insights rooted in both everyday actions and contemporary resistance studies.This book delves into the concept of adaptive resilience, through which climate and environmental actors (CEAs...

Coding Theory, Cryptography, and Finite Fields explores the theory and applications of finite fields, from basic concepts such as the modular arithmetic and polynomial interpolation to advanced topics such construction and counting of polynomials. This book:Addresses a wide range of topics within coding theory, cryptography, and finite fields, offering a holistic understanding of these interconnected fieldsDiscusses cutting-edge subjects such as quantum cry...

Textile materials shed microfibres during different phases of their life cycle. While much attention has been paid to the impact of microplastics on the environment, there has been less focus on the impact of microfibre pollution, which also poses a serious environmental threat. Microfibre Pollution from Textiles: Research Advances and Mitigation Strategies shines a light on the hidden effects of textile microfibre pollution and examines its generation in manufacturing, use includ...

This book provides insights into microfiber pollution in textile industries that would help researchers and professionals to work from the textile point of view to mitigate the problem, and create a green sustainable future. Microplastic pollution has received great importance due to its adverse environmental and health impact. Microplastic particles are found to contaminate the ecosystem. Research has reported microplastics on seashores, in deep seas, freshwater systems including rivers a...

The problem of stress corrosion cracking (SCC), which causes sudden failure of metals and other materials subjected to stress in corrosive environment(s), has a significant impact on a number of sectors including the oil and gas industries and nuclear power production. Stress corrosion cracking reviews the fundamentals of the phenomenon as well as examining stress corrosion behaviour in specific materials and particular industries.The book is divided into four parts. Part one covers the me...
