Covers the various aspects of war in the twenty-first century where asymmetric warfare has changed many rules of the game, imposing a profound transformation on the military, not only tactical, but also structural, preparatory, mental and ideological. This book also covers the delicate relations between the armed forces and societies.
This book discusses various aspects of bioactive natural products employed in the agrochemical and agriculture sectors. It covers the use of plants, microorganisms, and microbial metabolites as eco-friendly, cost-effective, and sustainable alternatives to chemicals in the field of agriculture. Written by active researchers and academics, the book highlights state-of-art products in the field, as well as the gaps, challenges, and obstacles associated with the use of plants, microbes and their products. Given its scope, it is a valuable resource for the scientific community and professionals in enterprises wanting insights into the latest developments and advances in the context of biological products, including their applications, traditional uses, modern practices, and strategies to harness their full potential.
This book presents high-quality, peer-reviewed papers from Fourth International Conference on Advanced Computational and Communication Paradigms (ICACCP 2023), organized by Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), Sikkim Manipal Institute of Technology (SMIT), Sikkim, India, during February 16–18, 2023. ICACCP 2023 covers advanced computational paradigms and communications technique which provides failsafe and robust solutions to the emerging problems faced by mankind. Technologists, scientists, industry professionals, and research scholars from regional, national, and international levels are invited to present their original unpublished work in this conference.
This prescient Handbook examines how legacies of colonialism, gender, class, and other markers of inequality intersect with contemporary humanitarianism at multiple levels.
Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI), an ever-evolving technology, holds immense promise across various industries, from healthcare to content generation. However, its rapid advancement has also given rise to profound ethical concerns. Illicit black-market industries exploit generative AI for counterfeit imagery, and in educational settings, biases and misinformation perpetuate. These issues underscore the need to grapple with the risks accompanying generative AI integration. Exploring the Ethical Implications of Generative AI emerges as a wellspring of insight for discerning academic scholars. It sets the stage by acknowledging generative AI's multifaceted potential and its capacity to reshape industries. The book addresses these complex ethical concerns, offering a comprehensive analysis and providing a roadmap for responsible AI development and usage. Its intended audience spans business leaders, policymakers, scholars, and individuals passionate about the ethical dimensions of AI.
As the internet of things market is booming, several issues are delaying the full realization of the technology. Currently, business competitors are jockeying for a piece of the market, meaning solutions from researchers that address these issues is crucial for internet of things technology developers. Overpromising followed by underdelivering has been the current approach by many innovators, and the mismatch results in losses in production, orphaned technologies, and frequent system failures. Solutions that address internet of things performance issues must be studied in order to take full advantage of this emerging market. Achieving Full Realization and Mitigating the Challenges of the Internet of Things addresses the challenges faced in rolling out internet of things technologies as well as the various performance issues. Covering a range of topics such as cybersecurity and connectivity issues, this reference work is ideal for industry professionals, academicians, researchers, practitioners, technology developers, instructors, and students.

Achievements and progress in genome mapping and the genomics of microbes supersede by far those for higher plants and animals, in part due to their enormous economic implication but also smaller genome size. In the post-genomic era, whole genome sequences of animal-associated microbes are providing clues to depicting the genetic basis of the complex host-pathogen relationships and the evolution of parasitism; and to improving methods of controlling pathogens. This volume focuses on a globally important group of intracellular prokaryotic pathogens which affect livestock animals. These include Brucella, Mycobacterium, Anaplasma and Ehrlichia, as well as the protozoan pathogens Cryptosporidium and Theileria, for which genome sequence data is available. Insights from comparative genomics of the microbes described provide clues to the adaptation involved in host-microbe interactions, as well as resources potentially useful for application in future research and product development.
