In this book, the editors explain how students enrolled in two digital forensic courses at their institution are exposed to experiential learning opportunities, where the students acquire the knowledge and skills of the subject-matter while also learning how to adapt to the ever-changing digital forensic landscape. Their findings (e.g., forensic examination of different IoT devices) are also presented in the book. Digital forensics is a topic of increasing importance as our society becomes “smarter” with more of the “things” around us been internet- and inter-connected (e.g., Internet of Things (IoT) and smart home devices); thus, the increasing likelihood that we will need to acquire data from these things in a forensically sound manner. This book is of interest to both digital forensic educators and digital forensic practitioners, as well as students seeking to learn about digital forensics.
Interest is growing in sustainable agriculture, which involves the use of productive and profitable farming practices that take advantage of natural biological processes to conserve resources, reduce inputs, protect the environment, and enhance public health. Continuing research is helping to demonstrate the ways that many factorsâ€"economics, biology, policy, and traditionâ€"interact in sustainable agriculture systems. This book contains the proceedings of a workshop on the findings of a broad range of research projects funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The areas of study, such as integrated pest management, alternative cropping and tillage systems, and comparisons with more conventional approaches, are essential to developing and adopting profitable and sustainable farming systems.
Integrated pest management (IPM) is a sustainable approach to manage pests through biological, cultural, physical and chemical means in order to minimize economic and environmental injury caused by such pests. Any comprehensive IPM programme requires an understanding of the ecological relationships between crops, pests, natural enemies and the environment. This book presents a series of review chapters on ecologically-based IPM. Topics covered range from the ecological effects of chemical control practices to the ecology of predator-prey and parasitoid-host systems.
Abstract: Brief reviews of a variety of nutrition education materials are presented in this guide for nutrition educators in developing countries from the International Nutrition Communication Service. Reviews are categorized according to the following topics: nutrition for the family, maternal nutrition, young child feeding, growth monitoring, and nutrition related health problems (malnutrition, vitamin A deficiency, iodine deficiency, iron deficiency, alcohol abuse, diarrhea). Some materials were used in successful nutrition education programs such as the Indonesian Nutrition Improvement Program, the Brazilian Breastfeeding Campaign, and the Honduras Mass Media and Health Practices Project. Reviews include descriptions of the type of media, language, and material content, as well as organizations to contact for further information. Information about how materials were developed, and reviewers' assessments of materials' relevance and quality are included for selected items. Guidelines for developing scientifically and artistically effective nutrition education materials, a glossary of communications terminology, and a nutrition education game are also included.
