Sommario/riassunto |
|
The scallop farming industry continues to expand, providing an important global source of food and revenue. In recent decades over-fishing has caused a decline in wild stocks and as consumer demand increases, the opportunities for new and existing scallop farming ventures are greater than ever before. In this important new edition, experienced scallop farmer David Hardy offers the reader: Practically oriented adviceNew technical, environmental and legislative informationKey information for running a successful farming operation Scallop |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book covers different topics on optimal design and operations with particular emphasis on chemical engineering applications. A wide range of optimization methods - deterministic, stochastic, global and hybrid - are considered. Containing papers presented at the bilateral workshop by British and Lithuanian scientists, the book brings together researchers' contributions from different fields - chemical engineering including reaction and separation processes, food and biological production, as well as business cycle optimization, bankruptcy, protein analysis and bioinformatics. <i>Sample |
