Leguminosae is the third largest family of flowering plants after Asteraceae and Orchidaceae. In India, it is the second largest family after Orchidaceae with more than 1400 species out of which about 23% are strictly confined to the country. In India, the maximum legume diversity and endemism is found in the Western Ghats biodiversity hotspot. Even though many reports on palynological data on widely distributed and alien species of Indian Leguminosae are available, only scanty data is available regarding the endemic legumes of India. This book presents the palynological details of 60 Indian endemic legumes so far unknown to science and their role in taxonomic considerations, which may help to improve our knowledge in these areas and to take right decisions whenever taxonomic problems are encountered related to these plants. Each taxon is provided with updated nomenclature, brief description of the plant including pollen morphology, details of habitat, phenology and distribution. Photographs, illustration and distribution map of each species is also provided.
Scientific and common names (in 14 languages) are provided for each species, and they are superbly illustrated by high quality colour photographs. The book represents a landmark in the literature and will appeal to a range of readers interested in botany, horticulture, forestry and traditional medicine."--BOOK JACKET.
This book deals with the environmental issues in India, the origins of environmental policy and law in India, the environmental developments and the changes they brought about in the legislative process, and also discusses in detail the concept of environmental goverance and the role of the courts.
The theme of conference is Emerging Technologies for Sustainability. Sustainability tends to be problem driven and oriented towards guiding decision making. The goal is to raise the global standard of living without increasing the use of resources beyond global sustainable levels. The conference is intended to act as a platform for researchers to share and gain knowledge, showcase their research findings and propose new solutions in policy formulation, design, processing and application of green materials, material selection, analysis, green manufacturing, testing and synthesis, thereby contributing to the creation of a more sustainable world.

Feature engineering plays a vital role in big data analytics. Machine learning and data mining algorithms cannot work without data. Little can be achieved if there are few features to represent the underlying data objects, and the quality of results of those algorithms largely depends on the quality of the available features. Feature Engineering for Machine Learning and Data Analytics provides a comprehensive introduction to feature engineering, including feature generation, feature extraction, feature transformation, feature selection, and feature analysis and evaluation. The book presents key concepts, methods, examples, and applications, as well as chapters on feature engineering for majo...
This multi-disciplinary book presents the most recent advances in exergy, energy, and environmental issues. Volume 2 focuses on fundamentals in the field and covers current problems, future needs, and prospects in the area of energy and environment from researchers worldwide. Based on some selected lectures from the Eleventh International Exergy, Energy and Environmental Symposium (IEEES-11) and complemented by further invited contributions, this comprehensive set of contributions promote the exchange of new ideas and techniques in energy conversion and conservation in order to exchange best practices in "energetic efficiency." Included are fundamental and historical coverage of the green transportation and sustainable mobility sectors, especially regarding the development of sustainable technologies for thermal comforts and green transportation vehicles. Furthermore, contributions on renewable and sustainable energy sources, strategies for energy production, and the carbon-free society constitute an important part of this book.
