Sommario/riassunto |
|
The book gives an in-depth analysis of microalgal biology, ecology, biotechnology and biofuel production capacity as well as a thorough discussion on the value added products that can be generated from diverse microalgae. It summarizes the state of the art in microalgal biotechnology research, from microalgal strain selection, microbiology, |

Preface Over the decades, much of the literature has focused on the biology and ecological aspects of algae found in freshwater, marine, and brackish environments. These organisms are also known to inhabit various other environments on Earth. More recently, there has been a substantial shift toward the concept of sustainable development and the green economy with emphasis on exploiting biological systems for the benefit of mankind. This underpins the fundamentals of the field of biotechnology, which has revolutionized various fields including agriculture, food, pharmaceutical and medical sciences, environmental sciences, and industrial feedstock, thus positively impacting most spheres of human endeavor. Algae--but more specifically, microalgae--have been associated with problematic events such as algal blooms caused by eutrophication of aquatic environments and in some cases the toxins produced have serious health impacts on the aquatic environment, plants, animals, and humans. However, these events are largely due to human activities resulting in the Profiliferation of nutrients in aquatic environments. The significance of algae cannot be underestimated as they contribute to approximately 40% of the oxygen in the atmosphere, are the original source of fossil fuels, and are the primary producers in the oceans. Therefore, there is potential for exploitation of this invaluable biomass source that could lead to definite environmental and economic benefits for man-- |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Der vorliegende Band vereinigt neue und überarbeitete ältere Aufsätze zu den Werten und Normen bei einigen griechischen und römischen Autoren.Es wird gefragt: Welche Kräfte garantieren nach Hesiod die Ordnung des Kosmos, welche gefährden ihn, welche das Leben der Menschen? Nach welchen Maßstäben beurteilt Thukydides einzelne Politiker oder ganze Poleis, welche Gedanken entwickelt Platon zum Wesen der Tugenden, welche Anforderungen stellt Aristoteles an den |

vorbildlichen Redner, wie versuchen Philon, Clemens von Alexandreia und Origenes Lehren der Heiden mit den eigenen zu verbinden ?Der zweite Teil gilt Lucilius' Kritik an seinen Zeitgenossen, Lukrez' Versuchen, römische Begriffe in Epikurs Weltbild einzuordnen, und Ciceros Bemühen, den traditionellen Maßstäbe der Römer, die ausführlich dargestellten werden, mit rhetorischen Mitteln gerecht zu werden; weiter wird gezeigt, wie Seneca diese Maßstäbe in den Luciliusbriefen mit Lehren der Stoa verknüpft und Claudian ihnen treu bleibt, ferner, welches Bild Quintilian vom vollkommenen Redner zeichnet und welchen Beitrag Sarkophage und Triumphbögen zum Verständnis der Wertvorstellungen der Römer leisten. Ein abschließender Rückblick schildert die wechselvolle Geschichte der so genannten Kardinaltugenden. |
