He also said that only those organisms survive and prosper that are great in the art of Gaming. This book takes a deep look into the qualities of such organisms and the Organisation that they create the Fascist nat...

This work contains a foreword by Dame Lesley Southgate, President, Royal Free and University College Medical School, London. Assessment is a key method of improving standards as well as establishing competency. However, despite major developments in the assessment of clinical competence in the last two decades, there is still more bad practice and ignorance of significant issues in this area than any other aspect of medical higher education. This book comprehensively covers all aspects of ...

Plant diseases where two or more pathogens are involved in the infection process are commonly termed as "complex", and their diagnosis and subsequent control become more complicated and challenging. A disease complex is produced through synergistic interaction between pathogens, such as plant nematodes and soil-borne fungi or bacteria. Disease complexes which result from the interaction between nematodes and other pathogens are found on a range of agricultural crops globally, and cause gre...

Nanotechnology research and its application in agriculture has become a major focus in recent years. Nanoformulations offer the possibility to develop more efficient and less damaging agrochemicals in the environment. Smart delivery systems for nanosensors, molecules that can help to detect biotic or abiotic stresses before they can affect production, are being developed and applied. Nanotechnology also provides new techniques for genetic manipulation and plant breeding. The use of nanofor...

This book presents that explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) is going to replace the traditional artificial, machine learning, deep learning algorithms which work as a black box as of today. To understand the algorithms better and interpret the complex networks of these algorithms, XAI plays a vital role. In last few decades, we have embraced AI in our daily life to solve a plethora of problems, one of the notable problems is cyber security. In coming years, the traditional AI algorit...

An interfaith guide to planned giving.Planned gifts are typically the largest gifts received by a charity and can transform religious organizations and congregations to become more sustainable, impactful, and vibrant entities for decades to come. Encouraging planned gifts to congregations and religious organizations is essential at this time of tremendous generational wealth transfer; these gifts also provide an opportunity to enhance relationships between supporte...

The global population is projected to reach almost 10 billion by 2050, and food and feed production will need to increase by 70%. Wheat, maize and sorghum are three key cereals which provide nutrition for the majority of the world's population. Their production is affected by various abiotic stresses which cause significant yield losses. The effects of climate change also increase the frequency and severity of such abiotic stresses. Molecular breeding technologies offer real hope for impro...
