Application of Advanced Oxidation Processes
The increasingly stricter standards for effluent discharge and the decreasing availability of freshwater resources worldwide have made the development of advanced wastewater treatment technologies necessary. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are becoming an attractive alternative and a complementary treatment option to conventional methods. AOPs are used to improve the biodegradability of wastewaters containing non-biodegradable organics. Besides, AOPs may inactivate pathogenic microorganisms without adding additional chemicals to the water during disinfection, avoiding the formation of hazardous by-products

Antimicrobial Polymer-Based Materials for Food Packaging Applications
Antimicrobial packaging has recently attracted a great deal of interest from the food industry due to the boost in consumer demand for minimally-processed, preservative-free products. Antimicrobial polymeric packaging systems can be considered an emerging technology that could have an important impact on shelf life extension and food safety. Novel polymeric-based packaging materials are continually being developed. This book collects carefully chosen examples of the most recent and relevant advances in the preparation and characterization of antimicrobial composites for food packaging applications.

Climate Variability and Change in the 21th Century
Abstract: The monthly averaged data time series of temperatures and rainfall without interruption of Conakry Airport (9.34◦ N 13.37◦ W, Guinea) from 1960 to 2016 were used. Inter-annual and annual changes in temperature and rainfall were investigated.

Coastal Fish Research
Coastal fish are key components of marine ecosystems, influencing, directly or indirectly, marine life worldwide. Furthermore, among coastal fish, there are many species that represent target species for many fisheries (commercial and recreational) and contribute considerably to the economy of several coastal countries.

Design and Development of Nanostructured Thin Films
Nanostructured thin films have attracted a considerable interest due to their unique size-dependent physicochemical properties, which are appealing for a multitude of applications. A thin film is traditionally defined as a material layer ranging from few nanometers to several micrometers in thickness.

Climate and Atmospheric Dynamics and Predictability
The state of the weather and climate is largely defined by the interactions between the various components of the climate system (atmosphere, hydrosphere, land surface, cryosphere, biosphere). The understanding and the prediction/projection of the atmospheric and climate dynamics (i.e., how the natural laws determine the weather and climate) are essential for life, property and environment. High-impact weather systems, low-frequency oscillations and their climatic variability exert a significant influence on humans and their activities.
