This book describes the state-of-the-art and possibilities of emerging technologies in environmental bioremediation, and reviews its various areas together with their related issues and implications. Considering the number of problems that define and concretize the field of environmental microbiology or bioremediation, the role of some bioprocesses and biosystems for environmental protection, control, and health based on the utilization of living organisms are analyzed. The book aims to provide a comprehensive view of advanced emerging technologies with environmental approaches for wastewater treatment, heavy metal removal, pesticide degradation, dye removal, waste management, microbial transformation of environmental contaminants, etc. With advancements in the area of environmental bioremediation, researchers are looking for new opportunities to improve quality standards and the environment. Recent technologies have given an impetus to the possibility of using renewable raw materials as a potential source of energy. Cost-intensive and ecofriendly technologies for producing high-quality products and efficient ways to recycle waste to minimize environmental pollution are the needs of hour. The use of bioremediation technologies through microbial communities is another viable option to remediate environmental pollutants, such as heavy metals, pesticides, and dyes. Since physicochemical technologies employed in the past have many potential drawbacks including their high cost and low sustainability, efficient biotechnological alternatives to overcome increasing environmental pollution are needed. Hence, environment-friendly technologies that can reduce the pollutants causing adverse hazards to humans and the surrounding environment are required. Environmental remediation, pollution prevention, detection, and monitoring are evaluated by considering the achievements, as well as the future prospects, in the development of biotechnology. Various relevant topics have been chosen to illustrate each of the main areas of environmental biotechnology: wastewater treatment, soil treatment, solid waste treatment, and waste gas treatment, dealing with both microbiological and processengineering aspects. The distinct role of emerging technologies in environmental bioremediation in the future is emphasized by considering the opportunities to contribute to new solutions and directions in the remediation of contaminated environments, as well as minimizing future waste release and creating pollution-preventing alternatives. To take advantage of these opportunities, innovative new strategies, which advance the use of molecular biological methods and genetic engineering technologies, are examined. These methods would improve the understanding of existing biological processes in order to increase their efficiency, productivity, and flexibility. Examples of the development and implementation of such strategies are included. Also, the contributions of environmental biotechnology to the progress of a more sustainable society are revealed.

Open and Interoperable Maritime Surveillance Framework Set to Improve Sea-Borders Control
Erbas, Cengiz; Cetin, Fulya Tuncer; Yilmaz, Burcu; Akagündüz, Erdem; Kabak, Yildiray; Bulca, Aykut (2012-01-01)
This study presents an open and interoperable maritime surveillance framework with multimodal sensor networks and an automated decision-making. The intention is to improve sea-border control, plugging the gaps in the maritime security with interoperability solutions and have wide-area situational awareness, thus particular reducing the number of illegal immigrants crossing sea borders in small boats, with a cost-effective approach. In this paper initial results are presented. This research is a part of a Eu...
Novel SIE Implementations for Efficient and Accurate Electromagnetic Simulations of Zero-index Materials
Ibili, H.; Koyaz, Y.; Ozmu, U.; Karaosmanoglu, B.; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2019-01-01)
We present novel surface-integral-equation formulations for efficient and accurate iterative solutions of electromagnetic problems involving zero-index (ZI) and near-zero-index (NZI) materials. When applied to materials with small permittivity and/or permeability values, conventional implementations employing traditional formulations tend to become inefficient, inaccurate, or both. Such numerical issues arise mainly due to low-frequency breakdowns related to inner problems, as well as due to deteriorating b...
The influence of digital technologies on the interaction of design and manufacturing processes
Çıngı, Güney; Ünay, Ali İhsan; Department of Architecture (2006)
This study aims to analyze and evaluate the influence of digital technologies on the inter-action of design and manufacturing processes by representing an outlook of digital tech-nologies through developments in modeling capabilities, manufacturing techniques, mate-rial science, and design strategies. The digital era reached by the technological developments in different fields of sci-ence influenced the field of architecture, just like the others. Thus, a new kind of spa-tial and tectonic quality in archit...
