This specially formulated collection features 3 reviews of current topics and key research in sweetpotato.The first chapter examines the origin and dispersal of sweetpotato, considers in vitro germplasm storage in sweetpotato genebanks, and looks at the importance of managing sweetpotato crop wild relatives (CWR). The chapter also considers the specific issues associated with sweetpotato germplasm, as well as the application of next-generation sequencing to sweetpo...

This book provides a state-of-the-art review of the applications of electrospun nanofibers for piezoelectric and triboelectric energy harvesting. It comprises eight chapters and covers the basis of electrospinning, nanofibers, piezoelectricity, triboelectricity and the emerging research on the use of nanofibers in energy harvesting devices. It is a key reference for graduate students, researchers and scientists in the fields of energy harvesting, sensors or nanofibers, and it will benefit ...

Reviews latest research on understanding potato plant physiology and genetic varietyDiscusses major advances in conventional and hybrid breeding as well as their application in improved varietiesFocuses on ways of supporting smallholders in key regions such as Africa

This book focuses on the applications of various types of fractional-order differential equations. The authors present their latest research results. This book for the first time introduces the concept of general fractional chaotic systems and their synchronisation, investigates the synchronisation of a fractional coupled reaction-diffusion system using a sliding mode control approach, and considers the impacts of fear and prey escape on a fractional-order prey-p...

This book proposes analysis and design techniques for fuzzy systems using adaptive technology, event triggering mechanism, sampling control technology, and sliding mode control technology. The book covers stochastic stability, finite-time boundedness, actuator failure problems, fault-tolerant control, asynchronous control, and adaptive sliding mode control for uncertain fuzzy systems. The topic of fault-tolerant control will be of particular interest to readers because: (i) the internal ha...

This book proposes analysis and design techniques for Markov jump systems (MJSs) using Lyapunov function and sliding mode control techniques. It covers a range of topics including stochastic stability, finite-time boundedness, actuator-fault problem, bumpless transfer scheme, and adaptive sliding mode fault-tolerant control for uncertain MJSs. Notably, the book presents a new model for deception attacks (DAs), establishing the correlation between attacks and time delays, which should be of...
