This compact, focused publication on Medical and Surgical Complications in Chronic Rhinosinusitis offers clinicians a current source of information to avoid complications and to address them when they arise. Sinus surgery expert and patient champion James Stankiewicz leads this issue with authors who are expert in various aspects of sinus treatment and surgery. T...

The role of carbon dioxide in our changing climate is now hard to ignore, and many countries are making pledges to reduce or eliminate their carbon output. Chemical valorisation of carbon dioxide, as an alternative to sequestration, is likely to play an important part in reaching these targets, and as such is one of the fastest developing areas of green chemistry and chemical reaction engineering.Providing a comprehensive panorama of recent advances in the methods and technologies ...

In recent years bioprocessing has increased in popularity and importance, however, bioprocessing still poses various important techno-economic and environmental challenges, such as product yields, excessive energy consumption for separations in highly watery systems, batch operation or the downstream processing bottlenecks in the production of biopharmaceutical products. Many of those challenges can be addressed by application of different process intensification technologies discussed in ...

If it's the latter, the solution is in your hands.In Wake Up-Do the Work-Save Humanity, Paulina Stankiewicz guides leaders through her 11 Keys to Conscious Leadership ...

The C-C bond is a basic building block in chemistry, and its formation is often the first step towards building more complex molecules. The direct generation of C-C bonds from C-H by cross-dehydrogenative-coupling (CDC) reactions in 2003 has presented a paradigm shift towards more efficient synthetic design, and over the last decade this has become a hot topic in Green Chemistry.This edited book presents a summary of the latest developments in the formation of C-C bonds direct from...

This advanced textbook covering the fundamentals and industry applications of process intensification (PI) discusses both the theoretical and conceptual basis of the discipline. Since interdisciplinarity is a key feature of PI, the material contained in the book reaches far beyond the classical area of chemical engineering. Developments in other relevant disciplines, such as chemistry, catalysis, energy technology, applied physics, electronics and materials science, are extensively describ...
