The science of nanotechnology, the manipulation, design and engineering of devices at the atomic and molecular scale, is starting to be applied to many disciplines including aspects of agriculture and crop science. This book opens with a brief history of nanotechnology in agriculture. Applications are then examined in detail, including nanopesticides, nanosensors, nanofertilizers, and nanoherbicides. Topics covered include; the biosynthesis of nanoparticles (through microbes, plants and ot...

You don’t have a sales problem. You have communication disconnect.In her first book, Speak. Connect. Close., Certified Financial Planner and Coach AnbarasiMarimuthu reveals why polished pitches, and clever scripts still fall flat because clients buybased on connection, not content.This book introduces the four communication styles that shape every buying decision andshows you how to spot them within the first 60 seconds of any meeting.Packed with r...

The Poincaré plot (named after Henri Poincaré) is a popular two-dimensional visualization tool for dynamic systems due to its intuitive display of the dynamic properties of a system from a time series. This book presents the basis of Poincaré plot and focus especially on traditional and new methods for analysing the geometry, temporal and spatial dynamics disclosed by the Poincaré plot to evaluate heart rate variability (HRV). Mathematical descriptors of Poincaré plot have been developed t...

As in many other fields, biomedical engineers benefit from the use of computational intelligence (CI) tools to solve complex and non-linear problems. The benefits could be even greater if there were scientific literature that specifically focused on the biomedical applications of computational intelligence techniques. The first comprehensive field-

ஆலயம் அப்படியொன்றும் பெரியதல்லவென்றாலும் அதன் அமைப்பு சற்று பயத்தை ஊட்டும் வண்ணம் இருந்தது. மலைக்கற்கள் அதிகமாகச் செதுக்கப்படாமல் குகைமாதிரிக் குடையப்பட்டிருந்தாலும், குடையப்பட்ட குடவரைக் கூரையில் சக்தியின் பெரும் நிலைகள் செதுக்கப்பட்டிருந்ததாலும், ஆலயத்தின் உட்பகுதி கிலியைக் கிளப்பும் சூழ்நிலையைப் பெற்றிருந்தது. கோயிலின் உட்புறத்தில் காலை வைத்ததும் எதிரே தெரிந்த சாருணீதேவியின் துர்க்கா சொரூபமும், சற்றுத் தொங்கிக்கொண்டிருந்த சிவந்த நாக்கும், சிவப்புத்தீட்டப்பட்டதால் அக்கினியைக் கக்குவன போல...

This book analyses the current debates within food system governance, covering different aspects of food systems (from production to consumption) as well as different fields of law (from human rights law to environmental law). Recognizing that the law, in interacting with multiple disciplines, plays a major role in setting binding targets for sustainable innovation and business transformation, it brings together contributors from a wide range of professions, including agriculture, law, and...

Ferns are representative of genetic inheritance of great value as they include species of ancient vascular plants, which have direct connection with the evolution of plant life on Earth. This volume brings a selection of chapters covering a range of themes on fern biology, its development and growth, useful protocols for propagation and conservation purposes, genetic diversity, as well as medicinal and environmental applications.The content is organized into four parts:

Healthcare sensor networks (HSNs) now offer the possibility to continuously monitor human activity and physiological signals in a mobile environment. Such sensor networks may be able to reduce the strain on the present healthcare workforce by providing new autonomous monitoring services ranging from simple user-reminder systems to more advanced mon

This book offers insights into the current focus and recent advances in bioremediation and green technology applications for waste minimization and pollution control. Increasing urbanization has an impact on the environment, agriculture and industry, exacerbating the pollution problem and creating an urgent need for sustainable and green eco-friendly remediation technology. Currently, there is heightened interest in environmental research, especially in the area of pollution remediation an...

This book provides insights into the current status of waste management in India and research approaches to minimize waste and convert useful waste into energy alternatives towards achieving environmental sustainability. It also discusses the implications of waste on human health and approaches to minimize the burden. Waste disposal, especially municipal solid waste (MSW), is one of the major environmental problems facing Indian cities. Inadequate management of MSW poses risks to inhabitan...

இளமதி சட்டென்று நின்று அவனைத் திரும்பிப் பார்த்துத் தன் கழுத்தில் அணிந்திருந்த ஒரே ஒரு முத்தாரத்தைக் கையால் நெருடினாள். அப்படி முத்தா ரத்தை அவள் நெருடியிராவிட்டால் அந்த வாலிபனும் அவளை நோக்கி வாயைப் பிளந்திருக்க மாட்டான். நிலை குத்திய கண்களுடன் நின்றிருக்கவும் மாட்டான், முத்தாரம் வளைந்து கிடந்த இளமதியின் செக்கச் செவேலென்ற கழுத்து அந்த வாலிபனைத் திகைக்க வைத்தது. அவள் நெருடிய விரல்களின் அழகும் முத்தாரத்தைப் படியவொட்டாமல் எழுப்பி நிறுத்திய மார்பகத்தின் இருபகுதிகளும் அவனைப் பிரமிக்க அடித்திருந்...
