El lector podrá encontrar en el libro las definiciones más importantes en los procesos de validación de métodos analíticos; acceder a la validación de la demanda química de oxígeno y demanda bioquímica de oxígeno para la determinación del contenido de materia orgánica y biodegradabilidad en aguas residuales de un ingenio azucarero. También, encontrará contribuciones a la evaluación de metales pesados (plomo y cadmio) en agua cruda y potable por espectroscopia de absorción atómica con horno de grafito del acueducto del municipio de Cerrito. Así mismo, la validación del método de análisis para nitratos en agua potable del corregimiento Paso de la bolsa del municipio de Jamundí mediante la técnica de espectroscopia ultravioleta. El libro hace énfasis en la importancia de la medición de los parámetros fisicoquímicos en el proceso de potabilización y control de calidad de agua pozo del Paraíso (Santander de Quilichao) utilizada en una planta de tratamiento de agua y en el seguimiento del crecimiento microbiano en una laguna facultativa de un ingenio azucarero del Valle del Cauca.

Food processing by humans goes a long way back in time, e.g., heat for cooking was used 1.9 million years ago. However, meal preparation now seems to be moving out of the home kitchen, and preprocessed or processed/convenience food products are becoming a larger part of the daily diet. In addition, consumers are progressively focusing on the impact of food on their health, and they demand foods that have a high nutritional quality and an aroma and natural flavor that are similar to freshly-made products. Therefore, nutritional quality is concurrent with food safety, and sensory perception is becoming an increasingly important factor in food choices. The human digestive tract disintegrates food to allow the nutrients to be released and made available to the body. However, nutrients can undergo unwanted degradation upon processing and subsequent storage, negatively influencing the physiological effects. Different processing techniques will result in different food structures, thereby also affecting bioaccessibility and nutritional value. Hence, food scientists and industry have an increased interest in both conventional and innovative processing methods that can provide good-quality products with high nutritional value and stable shelf life. This Special Issue aims to shed some light on the latest knowledge about and developments within the effects of food processing and storage on changes of biochemical and nutritional compounds. Both original research articles and reviews are included in this book.

"Earth Observations for Addressing Global Challenges" presents the results of cutting-edge research related to innovative techniques and approaches based on satellite remote sensing data, the acquisition of earth observations, and their applications in the contemporary practice of sustainable development. Addressing the urgent tasks of adaptation to climate change is one of the biggest global challenges for humanity. As His Excellency António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, said, "Climate change is the defining issue of our time—and we are at a defining moment. We face a direct existential threat." For many years, scientists from around the world have been conducting research on earth observations collecting vital data about the state of the earth environment. Evidence of the rapidly changing climate is alarming: according to the World Meteorological Organization, the past two decades included 18 of the warmest years since 1850, when records began. Thus, Group on Earth Observations (GEO) has launched initiatives across multiple societal benefit areas (agriculture, biodiversity, climate, disasters, ecosystems, energy, health, water, and weather), such as the Global Forest Observations Initiative, the GEO Carbon and GHG Initiative, the GEO Biodiversity Observation Network, and the GEO Blue Planet, among others. The results of research that addressed strategic priorities of these important initiatives are presented in the monograph.
