A memoir from the greatest swimmer of all time—Katie Ledecky.

Rapid urbanization and industrialization, in addition to the presence of new pollutants, make it necessary to search for new wastewater treatment technologies to achieve future water quality requirements. Additionally, waste reduction and the reuse of treated wastewater seem to be excellent options to realize the concept of a circular economy.This Reprint compiles the latest research on relevant wastewater treatment concerns, including the occurrence of emerging contaminants and their removal in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), novel technologies for wastewater and sludge treatment, sludge valorization, the transformation of agricultural residues into materials for wastewater treatment, biodegradation of recalcitrant compounds, etc.

In the face of the formidable challenge posed by global climate change, the imperative to transform the building sector into a bastion of sustainable practices has never been more urgent. The Reprint of the Topic "Building Energy and Environment" is a compendium of cutting-edge research and innovative solutions that aims to propel the construction industry towards the goals of "carbon peaking" and "carbon neutrality".

Soilless Culture Systems (SCSs) have expanded globally into protected and open-field horticulture. However, it is crucial to ensure the sustainability of this system in order to address resource challenges, minimize environmental impacts and establish a resilient and efficient agricultural system in the face of global challenges. This Special Issue reprint emphasizes the significance of transitioning to sustainable horticultural practices, outlines the challenges encountered, and presents various strategies to reduce or eliminate the utilization of peat in growing media. Additionally, it introduces cascade systems strategies that include recycling nutrient solutions, minimizing pesticide emissions, and integrating eco-friendly practices. Utilizing microorganisms has been identified as a potential strategy to augment the resilience of plants against the onslaught of pests and diseases. This approach is expected to reduce the utilization of chemicals for the same purpose considerably. This Special Issue reprint significantly contributes to advancing sustainable SCSs and growing media, providing diverse strategies and insights in order to propel its progress as a viable form of sustainable agriculture. It comprises 11 original contributions and an editorial written by 45 authors from 10 different countries. These numbers differ slightly from what was reported in the Editorial, as the Editorial was written before the last article was published.

The effort of the Editors has received global attention. Indebtedness is due to Saha and Asif and coworkers from Canada, Joseph and Mahapatra and coworkers from Poland and India, Ramirez-Montoya and coworkers from Spain and Mexico, Mota-Panizio and coworkers from Portugal and Brazil, Izquierdo and Lopez-Coca and coworkers from Spain, Vinitnantharat and coworkers from Thailand and the UK, Roy and Fini and coworkers from India and the USA, Lawson and Luyima and coworkers from Ghana and South Korea, Fouad El Mansouri and coworkers from Morocco and Spain, and Man Zhang and Yaning Zhang and coworkers from China for the 10 scholarly research papers dealing with the synthesis, characterization, properties, and applications of new carbon materials. The applications are mainly centered around environmental remediation owing to the intensity of the problem and comprise of water decontamination and the removal of heavy metals and organic compounds like tannic acid from contaminated sources. The use of biochar in agriculture for preventing nitrogen leaching for soil has also been included. Unconventional carbon-related materials like rice husk ash and carbon steel slag were also used for exotic applications.

Steroids are a large group of compounds whose structure is based on a 17-carbon skeleton, with a specific cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene ring system. Natural steroids have been fine-tuned through evolution to build membranes; act as chemical messengers that regulate metabolic, immune and reproductive functions in animals and stimulate the growth of, or otherwise protect, animal organisms. The steroid core represents a suitable motive for structural modifications. Therefore, a large group of semi-synthetic steroid derivatives have occupied the attention of synthetic chemists as well as medicinal chemists due to their potential biological activity, including anticancer, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and (anti)hormonal activities.This Reprint of the Special Issue of Molecules titled "Steroid Compounds with Potential Biological Activity" is dedicated to both experimental and theoretical studies on steroid chemistry, structural biology, biosynthesis, metabolism, and pharmacology. The Issue focuses on the isolation and synthesis of steroid compounds, diverse in origin, as well as their structural characterization and identification. Published articles and reviews relate to in vitro and in silico studies of the pharmacological properties, molecular biology, biochemistry and structural biology of steroids.

This reprint focuses on the latest advances in the field of the 3Rs, as applied to laboratory animals. The continuous progress in the application of the 3Rs will allow for us to achieve a more humane and equally competitive science, improving animal welfare.

This book aims to make very important topics in the physics of cancer such as mechanical characterization of cells using biophysical methods visible to the research community, with the goal of ensuring these special techniques receive more attention from the scientific community and are developed accordingly

In short, the main aim of this book is to gather the knowledge and explain the effect of generation of large scale magnetic fields by wave interactions in non-equilibrium turbulent wave field. In addition, the book emphasizes the variety of distinct physical mechanisms leading to mean-field dynamo in fully developed, strongly nonlinear turbulence.

Rocks have become part of the common terrain around the world, but could some of them give clues into the makings of our solar system? Author Clifford Besson seeks to determine whether certain spherical rocks discovered in Manitoba, Canada in 2005 are, in fact, meteorites from outer space. His findings, gained from observation, scientific knowledge and published scholastic sources, is featured in his new book, Solar Big Bang. These days, a number of people have been seeing objects falling out of the sky. On Saturday, 23 April, 2005, during the daytime, about fifty or more people reported seeing and/or hearing a meteor explode overhead in the sky near St. Ambroise area of Manitoba, north of Portage La Prairie.... we will try to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that most ancient spherical rocks found on our planet are not manmade but were naturally made in space and not on the Earth. An astronomy enthusiast since he was a teen, Clifford guides readers through his explorative study into these meteorites, while also defining meteorites, sunspots and qualities of the sun. Readers will be most excited to see actual photographs of the meteorites in the book, accompanied by Clifford's explanation on telling signs that indicate the supposed "long-distance" travel of these unique rocks. Whether you are intrigued by the origins of meteorites, or are just interested in the versatility of our solar system, Solar Big Bang will be sure to heighten your scientific senses as you ask the question: "What if meteorites are among us, and we don't even know?" These clues have therefore helped immensely to understand the origins of spherical rocks, for each one of these rocks that were seen were said to have been spherical. Could it be that most rocks that are spherical are really meteorites?
