Introductory Chapter: The Enigma of Hepatitis B Therapeutics
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin that plays multiple roles in the human body. It was first discovered by a Hungarian biochemist Albert Szent-Györgyi in 1932. This vitamin is essential for various biological processes, including maintaining homeostasis. The skin normally has high levels of vitamin C, but its concent...
This chapter explores the transformative potential of physical education (PE) when integrated into a transdisciplinary and physically active learning (PAL) framework. By moving beyond the traditional confines of the gym and classroom, we examine how PE can serve as a core component of holistic education. The chapter delves into the theoretical unde...
Landslides are complex natural disasters influenced by factors such as rainfall, snowmelt, and human activities, posing significant risks to over 375 million people worldwide. Effective landslide detection and monitoring are crucial for mitigating these hazards, particularly in densely populated areas and regions with valuable infrastructure. Remot...
Environmental contamination is one of the great challenges worldwide. It is exponentially increasing through natural and non-natural sources, particularly through anthropogenic activities. Pollutants such as heavy metals, SO2, CO, nitrogen oxides, biological contaminants, ozone, etc., are serious threats to the environment. Among others, the heavy ...
The quest for production of high-quality biodiesel with improved combustion properties at low cost, and the commercialization of biodiesel, has remained a relevant topic in today’s global energy market due to the need to achieve extensive substitution of fossil diesel with biodiesel fuel. This chapter examined the essential properties of oils for o...
Evaluation in physical education encompasses three stages: initial, formative and summative. The initial assessment diagnoses the level of knowledge and skills of students and can be identified as a starting point. Formative assessment is continuous and occurs throughout the teaching–learning process, providing constant feedback and allowing adjust...
Asbestos is a well-known carcinogenic substance, and it still represents a common problem in many countries. It was widely used during the twentieth century, thanks to its numerous physical and mechanical characteristics. Many governments banned the manufacturing, importation, processing, and distribution of asbestos-containing products and recomme...
Zinc oxide is a promised component in Technology and Nanotechnology due to its practical properties especially under extended temperature and pressure. In this work parallel and equilibrium molecular dynamics technique (MD) (Raven Supercomputer of Cardiff University, UK) and DL_POLY 4 are used to study the effect of extended pressure and temperatur...
