Guru Brahmanand was born Vikas Chand Patekar in a small village near Pune, as the only child of a small-time farmer. Compelled to flee after molesting his mentor’s daughter, who financed his education, Vikas found himself at the ashram of Guru Rameshwaranand at Rishikesh, where he mastered the scriptures. His exceptional oratory skills brought him to the forefront and into the notice of Guru Rameshwaranand, who elevated his position and christened him Swamy Brahmanand. Rising up the ranks, he became the youngest head of Nandanvan Ashram at 25 years, after the demise of his Guru. Immediately after accession, he incorporated revolutionary changes in the ashram, including opening the doors of...
GATE Mechanical Engineering is designed for candidates preparing for the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE). This examination is conducted across the country by the IITs and IISc and it focuses on engineering and science subjects. On the basis of the GATE Score, the higher educational institutes offer admission for M.Tech and Ph.D. programs. The GATE Score is also used by Public Sector units like ONGC, NTPC, ISRO, BHEL, DRDO, IOCL, NHPC and others to recruit entry-level engineers. The book is a valuable resource for the students who wish to achieve success in the GATE, and want to succeed in academic and employment pursuits. This book is based on the latest syllabus of GATE. It is ...
This new book focuses on the core aspects of sugarcane biotechnological transformation and advanced approaches for augmenting plant development and production through intrinsic/extrinsic variations. It presents comprehensive and updated information on sugarcane crop management in response to adverse climatic variables for sustainable production, discussing innovative interventions for how sugarcane copes with environmental stresses and the role of biochar on sugarcane crop improvement at different growth periods during stress. Management of abiotic stresses in sugarcane through conventional and molecular approaches is also covered as are developments in biotechnological approaches and their impact on sugarcane output. Various techniques used in different countries for improving sugarcane output, handling pests, and improvement of harvest quality are also reviewed. Different approaches that support improvement of sugarcane as a renewable source of bioenergy are discussed as well.
This book is tailor-made as per the syllabus of Engineering Mechanics offered in the first year of undergraduate students of Engineering. The book covers both Statics and Dynamics, and provides the students with a clear and thorough presentation of the theory as well as the applications. The diagrams and problems in the book familiarize students with actual situations encountered in engineering.
Synthesis of Epoxides explores different techniques for making epoxides, both old and new, and delves into the growing field of heterocyclic chemistry. The book presents a variety of methods that will help readers figure out which one best suits their specific needs. Diazo compounds are important synthetic intermediates in organic synthesis, but because of their unpredictable, explosive nature and toxicity their unique reactivity has not been fully exploited and their use at large scale has been avoided. Readers, including students in chemistry, will learn about different methods and important information, allowing them to evaluate which method is most suitable in particular cases.The synthe...
Abiotic stresses are known to adversely impact agricultural productivity on millions of hectares globally, and it is projected that these problems are likely to increase, primarily due to anthropogenic interventions as well as climatic changes. Understanding abiotic stresses—especially salt stress on soil—calls for an interdisciplinary approach because salt-stressed soils need hydro-technical, chemical, and agronomic interventions as well as an understanding of plant response when exposed to these stresses. This volume explores and conveys the latest information on emerging technologies in the management of abiotic salt stress and their field applications. It brings together experts from various fields (academia, technology, and engineering) to provide the latest information and knowledge on this important challenge.
The book provides an overview relevant to various biological mechanisms that regulate carbon exchanges between the major components and their response to climate change. Climate change has a significant impact on people's lives, energy demand, food security, etc. The soil microbial ecology is vital for assessing terrestrial and aquatic carbon cycles and climate feedback. However, the primary concern is the complexity of the soil microbial community and its severely affected functions due to the climate and other global changes. Global warming comprises an assessment of the dynamic interactions and feedback between microbes, plants, and their physical environment due to climate change. The bo...
This edited compilation explores role of climate change in plant stresses, their mitigators, their role, mode of action and, application. The book discusses molecular and physiological mechanisms involved in plant stress physiology and the working mechanism of stress mitigators. It collates information from latest research conducted on plant stress mitigators, and highlights new strategies related to beneficial microorganisms that support plants under various stresses. These mitigators have gained attention of both farmers and industry for their application in organic farming. Plant stress mitigators have a huge global market. They follow different action mechanism for enhancing plant growth...
Comprehensive Inorganic Chemistry II, Nine Volume Set reviews and examines topics of relevance to today’s inorganic chemists. Covering more interdisciplinary and high impact areas, Comprehensive Inorganic Chemistry II includes biological inorganic chemistry, solid state chemistry, materials chemistry, and nanoscience. The work is designed to follow on, with a different viewpoint and format, from our 1973 work, Comprehensive Inorganic Chemistry, edited by Bailar, Emeléus, Nyholm, and Trotman-Dickenson, which has received over 2,000 citations. The new work will also complement other recent Elsevier works in this area, Comprehensive Coordination Chemistry and Comprehensive Organometallic Che...
