Fundamentals of Environmental Biology has been conceived to bring different aspects of environmental biology under one head. The purpose of this book is to fill the gap between basic books of ecology or environmental science and advanced environmental biotechnology in an appropriate manner. Divided in two parts, the book contains fourteen chapters. First part deals with the topics related with ecology and environmental sciences and second part deals with ...
This book will help students to learn C++ programming language, and at the same time it will allow the students to learn how to build one's own programming language, a minimal LISP in fewer than 1000 lines of code. The concepts of the C++ programming language are used in almost all engineering disciplines along with all boards of higher secondary class (10+2). Therefore, this text book is essential for all students to grasp the basics of the language. Therefore, ...

In particular, it emphasizes the ...
Unlike traditional textbooks, this book develops a conceptual framework, historically and theoretically, for a growing economy. Based on simple models with numerical examples, it applies concepts from classical macroeconomics to interpret economic events and data in USA and India over several decades, and some other Asian economies also.
Microbes and Sustainable Agriculture covers recent spate of research, highlighting the major role of microbes in agriculture sustainability. It explains the role of bacteria, cyanobacteria and fungi in diverse facets of agriculture to preserve the sustainability including arbuscular mycorrhizal association, microbial biopesticides, heavy metal resistant bacterial strains, herbicides for weed management, biochar and its role in soil fertility management and plant ...
A unique, hands-on introduction to the Finite Element Method
Fundamental Finite Element Analysis and Applications: with Mathematica® and MATLAB® Computations is an innovative, practical guide to discovering the Finite Element Method (FEM). Providing a helpful balance between theory and application, it presents the FEM as a tool to find approximate solutions of differential equations, making it a useful resource for students from a variety of disciplines. ...
Optimum and Adaptive Signal Processing has been developed in a simple, logical and directed way. The ease of understanding is facilitated by providing all the intermediate steps in a mathematical expression derivation and its physical meaning, preserving the rigour and depth of the subject. Chapters 2 to 5, covering the background, make the book self-contained. The detailed treatment of both optimum and adaptive processing (unlike in some of the other books), ...
Redefining Smart & Sustainable Cities, although has been conceived much earlier and has been continually refined over and over, the recent announcement of 100 Smart Cities by the Hon'ble Prime Minister of India, Mr Narendra Modi, and the spate of events thereafter, has made the release of the book rather accelerated. It unfolds for its readers the thus-far little-known story about smart cities that have existed since centuries and what the existing cities can ...
The book contains two sections descriptive and question bank sections. The descriptive part of the book contains concise and focused treatment of the different sub-disciplines of Geology. The information presented in this part of the book covers Physical Geology, Geomorphology, Structural Geology, Geotectonics, Stratigraphy, Indian Geology, Palaeontology, Geoinformatics, Crystallography, Physical Mineralogy, Chemical Mineralogy, Optical Mineralogy, Descriptive ...
This book collects experiences and empirical results from Austrian and Indian school developmental work and gives suggestions as well as recommendations for the fielding of Austrian action research in India, but also vice versa. In this book, similarities and contrasts between the two cultures and school cultures will be worked out in order to get a basement for the next step of the program, the field implementation.
Forests are critical for sustainable development, environment and also for livelihood. They provide a wealth of goods and services that are essential for people's lives, cash income and green economy. Maintaining and enhancing our planet's forest resources is essential if we are to succeed in the global efforts to alleviate poverty, address water scarcity and biodiversity loss, and mitigate climate change. Culturally and historically, the intrinsic value of ...
Plant Viruses, Diseases and Their Management consists of 19 chapters covering all the aspects of plant viruses, diseases and their management containing information of classical as well as advanced plant virology. This textbook has given information on new advances which are taking place in the fast-evolving field of Plant Virology. It contains different separate chapters on biological and molecular property, composition, morphology, nomenclature and modern ...
"There is a tremendous wealth of mega-biodiversity in the world. But the very existence of this wealth is under threat due to habitat destruction, pushing animals towards inbreeding depression and thereby paving way for their extinction. This has made essential human intervention and assisted reproductive technologies. Thus, the issues of conservation of wildlife and biodiversity have become the need of the hour, especially in terms of policy making at the ...
"Recent studies on the activities of RNA in the cell have revolutionized our understanding of the many roles played by this molecule. The first two editions of The RNA World (1993, 1999) shed light on the pre–biotic era dominated by this versatile molecule, and provided an overview of the state of RNA research at the time. The new third edition of The RNA World updates this perspective, describing the vast array of newly discovered roles for RNA in the ...
"This manual complements Simpson’s Proteins and Proteomics manual, with a comprehensive collection of methods for protein purification from a variety of source preparations. The chapters include detailed protocols, methods for optimizing the performance of experiments, discussion of potential pitfalls, and troubleshooting advice."
"The agricultural and forestry processing wastes (lignocellulosics) are an important material resource and energy source. However, if untreated they can pose a danger to the environment and potentially valuable resources. Microorganisms contribute significantly to the problem of biomass degradation, its recycling and conservation. In the recent years, an increasing interest shown by the textile, food, feed & pulp and paper industries in the microbial and ...
"This is the second edition of a very successful textbook that combines an illustrated, narrative text with 12 rigorously tested, reliable lab experiments in molecular biology, developed at the internationally renowned Dolan DNA Learning Center of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. Proven through more than 10 years of teaching in research and non-research colleges and universities, junior colleges, community colleges, and advanced high school biology programs, ...
"Newly appointed principal research investigators have to recruit, motivate, and lead a research team, manage personnel and institutional responsibilities, and compete for funding, while maintaining the outstanding scientific record that got them their position in the first place. Small wonder, then, that many principal investigators feel ill-prepared. In this book, a successor to her best-selling manual for new recruits to experimental science, At The ...
