Laboratory Biorisk Management Biosafety and Biosecurity

Laboratory Biorisk Management Biosafety and Biosecurity

Over the past two decades bioscience facilities worldwide have experienced multiple safety and security incidents including many notable incidents at so-called sophisticated facilities in North America and Western Europe. This demonstrates that a system based solely on biosafety levels and security regulations may not be sufficient. Setting the stage for a substantively different approach for managing the risks of working with biological agents in laboratories Laboratory Biorisk Management: Biosafety and Biosecurity introduces the concept of biorisk management—a new paradigm that encompasses both laboratory biosafety and biosecurity. The book also provides laboratory managers and directors with the information and technical tools needed for its implementation. The basis for this new paradigm is a three-pronged multi-disciplinary model of assessment mitigation and performance (the AMP model). The application of the methodologies criteria and guidance outlined in the book helps to reduce the risk of laboratories becoming the sources of infectious disease outbreaks. This is a valuable resource for those seeking to embrace and implement biorisk management systems in their facilities and operations including the biological research clinical diagnostic and production/manufacturing communities. | Laboratory Biorisk Management Biosafety and Biosecurity

Urban Soils

Urban Soils

Globally 30% of the world population lived in urban areas in 1950 54% in 2016 and 66% projected by 2050. The most urbanized regions include North America Latin America and Europe. Urban encroachment depletes soil carbon and the aboveground biomass carbon pools enhancing the flux of carbon from soil and vegetation into the atmosphere. Thus urbanization has exacerbated ecological and environmental problems. Urban soils are composed of geological material that has been drastically disturbed by anthropogenic activities and compromised their role in the production of food aesthetics of residential areas and pollutant dynamics. Properties of urban soils are normally not favorable to plant growth—the soils are contaminated by heavy metals and are compacted and sealed. Therefore the quality of urban soils must be restored to make use of this valuable resource for delivery of essential ecosystem services (e. g. food water and air quality carbon sequestration temperature moderation biodiversity). Part of the Advances in Soil Sciences Series Urban Soils explains properties of urban soils; assesses the effects of urbanization on the cycling of carbon nitrogen and water and the impacts of management of urban soils soil restoration urban agriculture and food security; evaluates ecosystem services provisioned by urban soils and describes synthetic and artificial soils.

Be a fly on the wall as industry leaders Bill Kroyer and Tom Sito take us through insightful face-to-face interviews revealing in these two volumes the journeys of 23 world-class directors as they candidly share their experiences and personal views on the process of making feature animated films. The interviews were produced and edited by Ron Diamond. Your job is not to be the one with the answers. You should be the one that gets the answers. That’s your job. You need to make friends and get to know your crew. These folks are your talent your bag of tricks. And that’s where you’re going to find answers to the big problems - Andrew Stanton It’s hard. Yet the pain you go through to get what you need for your film enriches you and it enriches the film. – Brenda Chapman Frank and Ollie always used to say that great character animation contains movement that is generated by the character’s thought process. It can’t be plain movement. – John Lasseter The beauty of clay is that it doesn’t have to be too polished or too smooth and sophisticated. You don’t want it to be mechanical and lifeless. – Nick Park The good thing about animation is that tape is very cheap. Let the actor try things. This is where animation gets to play with spontaneity. You want to capture that line as it has never been said before. And most likely if you asked the actor to do it again he or she just can’t repeat that exact performance. But you got it. – Ron Clements | On Animation The Director's Perspective Vol 1
