शहर में दहशत का माहौल था। कुछ मौतें इंसानों की हुई तो कुछ जानवरों की। जिसने कातिल को देखा उसे अपने देखे पर यकीन नहीं हुआ, वो उसे शैतान या फिर हैवान कहने लगा। इंस्पेक्टर प्रशांत जो इन मौतों के पीछे के कारण को जानने की कोशिश कर रहा था उसका सामना ऐसे अपराधी से होता है जो इंसान की शक्ल में एक आदमखोर था। वो लोगों को मारता ही नहीं था बल्कि उन्हें खाता भी था। आधुनिक युग में ऐसे इंसान का अस्तित्व ढेरों सवालों को जन्म देता है जिनके जवाब ढूंढते हुए इंस्पेक्टर प्रशांत खुद उलझता चला जाता है।

This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Intelligent Human Computer Interaction, IHCI 2021, which took place in Kent, OH, USA, in December 2021.The 59 full and 9 short papers included in these proceedings were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 142 submissions. The papers were organized in topical sections named human centered AI; and intelligent interaction and cognitive computing

With an ever-increasing human population, the demand placed upon the agriculture sector to supply more food is one of the greatest challenges for the agrarian community. In order to meet this challenge, environmentally unfriendly agroch- icals have played a key role in the green revolution and are even today commonly recommended to circumvent nutrient de?ciencies of the soils. The use of ag- chemicals is, though, a major factor for improvement of plant production; it causes a profound dete...

The discovery of CRISPR has revolutionized crop improvement in agriculture and is emerging as a key factor in addressing the global food security challenges. This new volume highlights the new frontiers and applications of the cutting-edge CRISPR-based gene editing systems and discusses how to harness the power of these tools for improving food crops and developing climate-smart crops to meet the global food demand in the future. The volume reviews the applications of CRISPR-Cas systems in...

Crowdsourcing is an emerging paradigm that promises to transform several domains: creative work, business work, cultural cooperation, etc. Crowdsourcing reflects the close-knit interplay between the latest computer technologies, the rapidly changing work model of the 21st century, and the very nature of people. The interplay makes for an exciting but at the same time challenging new field to investigate under the lens of a diverse set of disciplines, ranging from the technical to the socia...

Microbes for Legume Improvement comprises 21 chapters and provides comprehensive information on concepts of microbial technology for the improvement of legumes grown in different agro-ecosystems. The role of microbes including symbiotic nitrogen fixers, asymbiotic nitrogen fixing bacteria (like Azospirillum), plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), phosphate-solubilizing microbes, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and biocontrol agents in the improvement of both conventional and forage leg...

This book provides a comprehensive description of phosphate solubilizing microorganisms and highlights methods for the use of microphos in different crop production systems. The focus is on understanding both the basic and applied aspects of phosphate solubilizing microorganisms and how phosphorus-deficient soils can be transformed into phosphorus-rich ones by applying phosphate solubilizing microorganisms. The interaction of rhizosphere phosphate solubilizing microorganisms and environmen...

Heavy-metal contamination is one of the world's major environmental problems, posing significant risks to agro-ecosystems. Conventional technologies employed for heavy-metal remediation have often been expensive and disruptive.This book provides comprehensive, state-of-the-art coverage of the natural, sustainable alternatives that use a wide range of biological materials in the removal/detoxification of heavy metals, consequently leading to the improvement of crops in these soils. ...
