Membrane Bioreactor Technology: An Innovative Water Treatment Process delves into the fundamental concepts and advancements of membrane bioreactor technology, addressing the crucial challenge of providing a safe water supply. The book comprehensively covers the theoretical aspects of membrane bioreactors, detailing their design and operational nuances. Furthermore, the book explores various membrane bioreactor topics, including filtration characteristics, membrane modification techniques, and strategies for fouling mitigation and control. This is an invaluable resource for readers interested in understanding the intricate dynamics of membrane bioreactor technology and its applications in addressing the emerging pollutant characteristics.Other sections discuss practical and operational challenges, maintenance, and representative case studies, providing readers with a thorough understanding of this innovative water treatment process.Provides basic principles and advancements in membrane bioreactor technology to meet the challenges of a safe water supplyCovers a wide variety of membrane bioreactor topics, including filtration characteristics, membrane modification techniques, membrane material transfiguration, transformation of fouling characteristics, and strategies of fouling mitigation and controlUses representative cases and exemplifications of membrane bioreactor technology to understand and modulate membrane bioreactor technology with emerging water pollutant characteristics

Early Motherhood in Digital Societies offers a nuanced understanding of what the digital turn has meant for new mothers in an intense and critical period before and after they have a baby, often called the ‘perinatal’ period.The book looks at an array of digital communication and content by drawing on an extensive research project involving in-depth qualitative data from interviews with new mothers in the United Kingdom and online case studies. These stories are analysed to investigate the complexity of emotions around birth, the diversity of birth experiences and the myriad ways in which television, the press and social media impede and empower women giving birth. The book asks: what does the use of technology mean in the perinatal context and what implications might it have for maternal well-being? It argues for a balanced and context-sensitive approach to the digital for maternal well-being in the critical perinatal period.By doing this, the book fills a gap in media studies, addressing itself to gaps within audience analysis, health communication and parenting. It will be essential reading for research and teaching modules in media studies, cultural studies, sociology, health communication and sociology of medicine and health.

In today's digital societies, parenting is shaped by algorithms daily - in search engines, social media, kids' entertainment, the news and more. But how much are parents aware of the algorithms shaping their parenting and daily lives? How can they prepare for children’s futures in a world dominated by data, algorithms, automation and AI? This groundbreaking study of 30 English families sheds light on parents’ hopes and fears, their experiences with algorithms in searching, sharing and consuming news and information, and their awareness and knowledge of algorithms at large. Looking beyond tech skills and media panics, this book is an essential read for social scientists, policy makers and general readers seeking to understand parenting in datafied societies.
