Environmental Enrichment is an essential and effective way to improve the welfare of captive animals. The book presents general principles and scientific knowledge on environmental enrichment and case studies on enrichment practices in zoo felids. This is a practical yet scientific book that will help to create and evaluate successful enrichment programmes for captive animals considering their natural history. The book is a helpful reference tool for those who work with or study animals in captivity.

It is my pleasure to write the preface for Information Processing and Management. This book aims to bring together innovative results and new research trends in inf- mation processing, computer science and management engineering. If an information processing system is able to perform useful actions for an obj- tive in a given domain, it is because the system knows something about that domain. The more knowledge it has, the more useful it can be to its users. Without that kno- edge, the system itself is useless. In the information systems field, there is conceptual modeling for the activity that elicits and describes the general knowledge a particular information system needs to know. The main objective of conceptual modeling is to obtain that description, which is called a conceptual schema. Conceptual schemas are written in languages called conceptual modeling languages. Conceptual modeling is an important part of requi- ments engineering, the first and most important phase in the development of an inf- mation system.
This new book provides detailed information on nutraceuticals that can be helpful in the control and management of obesity. It clarifies key aspects of nutraceuticals that include sources, extraction, chemistry, mechanisms of action, pharmacology, bioavailability, safety, and various applications. Beginning with a concise overview of the prevalence of obesity, complications related to obesity, and current treatment regimens, the volume delves into the roles of functional foods and nutraceuticals for the management of body weight and for alleviating obesity comorbidities. It goes on to discuss the effect of some of the most commonly and frequently used naturally occurring nutraceutical substances, along with their mechanisms of action in controlling obesity. The volume looks at the role of nutraceutical fruits as well as the beneficial aspects of carotenoids in fruits and vegetables and explores antioxidant-rich nutraceuticals, the role of vitamins and supplements, the use of green tea, and the potential of pseudocereals and spices in the management of metabolic syndrome.
The Deregulation Of The Indian Economy, Which Started In The 1980S, Received An Impetus In 1991. While The Balance Of Payments Crisis May Have Provided The Immediate Trigger, There Were Structural And Deeper Long-Term Reasons Underlying A Paradigm Shift Of The Economy In 1991. Thus The Period 1992-2004 Marks A Decisive Break With The Past Trend Of Macroeconomic Growth. Most Development Indicators Are Favourable With Foreign Exchange Reserves Rising Above Us$ 130 Billion, Some Segments Of Manufacturing Acquiring International Competitiveness, Growth Of Indian Financial System, Likely Acceleration In It Sector And Enhanced Trade And Investment Cooperation Between India And Asean And East Asian...
The contentious history of the computer programmers who developed the software that made the computer revolution possible. This is a book about the computer revolution of the mid-twentieth century and the people who made it possible. Unlike most histories of computing, it is not a book about machines, inventors, or entrepreneurs. Instead, it tells the story of the vast but largely anonymous legions of computer specialists—programmers, systems analysts, and other software developers—who transformed the electronic computer from a scientific curiosity into the defining technology of the modern era. As the systems that they built became increasingly powerful and ubiquitous, these specialists...
The book covers different aspects of real-world applications of optimization algorithms. It provides insights from the Fourth International Conference on Harmony Search, Soft Computing and Applications held at BML Munjal University, Gurgaon, India on February 7–9, 2018. It consists of research articles on novel and newly proposed optimization algorithms; the theoretical study of nature-inspired optimization algorithms; numerically established results of nature-inspired optimization algorithms; and real-world applications of optimization algorithms and synthetic benchmarking of optimization algorithms.
This book features high-quality, peer-reviewed papers from the International Conference on Recent Advancement in Computer, Communication and Computational Sciences (RACCCS 2019), held at Aryabhatta College of Engineering & Research Center, Ajmer, India, on August 16–17, 2019. Presenting the latest developments and technical solutions in computational sciences, it covers a variety of topics, such as intelligent hardware and software design, advanced communications, intelligent computing technologies, advanced software engineering, the web and informatics, and intelligent image processing. As such it helps those in the computer industry and academia to use the advances in next-generation communication and computational technology to shape real-world applications.
