Consumers today demand safe, tasty, fresh, and minimally processed food products with a long shelf life and maintained quality. This has led to the rise of novel food processing technologies that address these needs. The recent trend of lifestyle changes, where consumers demand products with significant nutritional contribution, bioactive compounds, and good sensory properties, posed a great challenge to the food processing sector to evolve novel and innovative food processing techniques. One such innovation is High-Pressure Processing (HPP), a non-thermal technology that subjects packaged foods to high hydrostatic pressure, resulting in microbial inactivation, shelf-life extension, and retention of fresh-like quality. The main goal of the book "Food Technology" is to offer fundamental information about innovative techniques used for processing food, including their methods of preserving food, their effectiveness, and their suitability for different types of food. The editor has collected reliable and scientifically proven information from various credible sources to provide readers with the latest and most accurate information available. The book is a compilation of contributions from various experts in the field, and the editor expresses gratitude to these contributors for sharing their knowledge and expertise.

This book "Management Accounting" is about a unique approach to understanding how management accounting impacts organizations. Over the past 10 years, there has been a big change in the way we think about and practice management accounting. The book looks at three specific innovations in management accounting: activity-based costing, operational control systems, and the balanced scorecard. The author describes how these innovations were first documented and then spread through publications. Based on this decade of research and theory development, the author argues that one way to advance management accounting practice and education is through empirical research that involves working closely with innovative organizations over a long period of time. This approach can help us understand how management accounting is actually used in practice and how it can be improved to better serve organizations.

The focus is on utilizing technology and BPM to improve industrial processes while considering their impact on society and the environment. This book is an ideal introduction to the subject for junior level professionals who want to learn about sustainable industrial processes. It is also an essential reference for more experienced practitioners who want to stay up-to-date with the latest trends and technologies in BPM and Industry 4.0.

Machine elements is a field of engineering that focuses on the design and analysis of mechanical components such as gears, bearings, clutches, and springs. These components are used to build various mechanical products and systems. Designing and engineering mechanical systems is a complex task that is often supported by computer-oriented technologies. This book discusses the latest advancements in fundamental theories, computational techniques, and specialized 3D printing hardware and materials. These technologies can be used to replace or redesign conventional machine elements in maintenance engineering, or to develop new mechanical design concepts for critical subsystems or devices that require less assembly and component integration. Experimental testing at the material, element, and system levels is also covered, as are engineering use case studies. This book is a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, and students interested in the application of additive manufacturing to machine elements and mechanical device design.

This book focuses on the practical understanding of microorganisms in civil and environmental engineering processes. It is designed for environmental engineers who work in wastewater treatment, solid waste treatment, soil remediation, and ground improvement.

It also introduces and studies the more technical shop operations of threading, tapping, boring, carbide tooling, and principles of metal cutting. Machine Shop Theory provides a comprehensive guide to machining, covering the technical aspects of the process and the equipment used, as well as safety considerations. It is an essential resource for students, professionals, and anyone interested in the field of machining.

Water on earth is one of the most abundant natural resources, but only about 1% of that resource is available for human consumption. It is estimated that over 1.1 billion people lack supply of adequate drinking water, due to the rising cost of potable water, growing populations, and variety of climatic and environmental concerns. The physical processes such as filtration can remove the contaminants by transforming one phase to another but producing a highly concentrated sludge, which is toxic and difficult to dispose. In the above context, there is a real requirement for more efficient and powerful technologies for treatment of municipal and industrial waste waters. This can be achieved either by development of completely new methods or by improving the existing methods through some interventions. Nanotechnology is fast advancing and currently became more effective than the conventional technologies used in water treatment that offers safe opportunities for using unconventional water supply sources. In wastewater treatment application, a variety of efficient, eco-friendly and cost-effective nano-materials have been developed having unique functionalities for potential decontamination of industrial effluents, surface water, ground water and drinking water. Therefore, the problems related to water contamination and their remediation using nanotechnological approaches are considered in this book.
