Global Waste Management raises awareness among readers about industrial application-based problems by encouraging self-evaluation and verification processes related to waste creation and its minimization. While other books discuss the "Do's and Don'ts" of waste-related issues, our aim is to inspire readers to brainstorm solutions by providing appropriate data integrated with human values. This outstanding new volume highlights the relationship between human activities and their effects on ecology and the environment in the form of waste, including e-waste, industrial waste, radioactive waste (generated during medical treatment and diagnosis, the refining of radioactive materials, operations of nuclear power plants, and through weapons of mass destruction), and micro- and macro-plastic waste. Specifically targeting higher education levels-those teaching, studying, or conducting research on waste generated through various sources-this volume covers the outcomes of waste generation and its management. It draws on the experiences, practices, teachings, and leadership of academia, industry experts, process plant engineers, and researchers. This book is a collective effort to provide essential information on values and ethics, case studies, and the implementation of regulations from national and international governing bodies related to waste and the environment. It offers plausible solutions for the significant amounts of waste generated annually by the sectors mentioned.

This book provides in-depth explanations and discussions of the latest applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI), machine learning, and the Internet of Medicine, offering readers the cutting edge on this rapidly growing technology that has the potential to transform healthcare and improve patient outcomes. Over the past five years, there have been significant advances in healthcare through the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies. AI and machine learning in medical imaging has significantly improved the accuracy and speed of medical imaging analysis, accelerated the drug discovery process by identifying potential drug targets and predicting the efficacy and safety of new drugs, and enabled personalized medicine by analyzing large amounts of patient data to identify individualized treatment plans based on a patient's genetic makeup and medical history. Internet of Medicine (IoM) refers to the integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) and connected medical devices with healthcare systems and processes to enable remote monitoring, diagnosis, and treatment of patients. IoM is a subset of the larger Internet of Things concept, which involves the connection of everyday devices and appliances to the internet for various purposes. IoM has the potential to revolutionize healthcare by improving patient outcomes, reducing costs, and increasing efficiency. Some of the specific applications of IoM include remote patient monitoring, real-time data analysis, predictive analytics, smart hospitals, and personalized medicine.
