8 This paper presents a systems analysis perspective that extends the traditional process design 9 framework to green process design and industrial ecology leading to sustainability. For green process 10 design this involves starting the design decisions as early as chemical and material selection stage on 11 one end, and managing and planning decisions at the other end. However, uncertainties ...

Climate change and resource scarcity are just two of the planetary crises that make radical socio-economic essential if human society is to be sustainable. Chemical engineering a skill-set can unique contribution transition, going beyond new technological processes provide system-level understanding economic activities from perspective industrial ecology. This paper provides an example by apply...

He received his B.Sc. degree in Biology (1990) from Department of Biology, University of British Columbia, Canada, also M.Sc. in Botany (1993) from Department of Botany, University of British Columbia, Canada and Ph.D. in Plant Ecology (1996) from Department of Animal & Plant Sciences, University of Sheffield, England.Dr. Fraser's expertise is in grassland and wetland ecosystems, with a focus o...

O n March 25, 2011, Thomas Eisner died after a long and courageous battle with Parkinson’s disease. His tremendous legacy included founding and nurturing the scientific discipline of chemical ecology. Tom, though, might be the only person in the field to dispute his rights to the title, “Father of Chemical Ecology”—indeed, in one interview (1), he wryly opined that such claims cried out for DNA...

This review provides an overview of two complementary approaches to identify biologically active compounds for studies in chemical ecology. The first is activity-guided fractionation and the second is metabolomics, particularly focusing on a new liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry-based method called isotopic ratio outlier analysis. To illustrate examples using these approaches, we review r...
