This textbook has been conceptualized to provide a detailed description of the various aspects of Systems and Synthetic Biology, keeping the requirements of M.Sc. and Ph.D. students in mind. Also, it is hoped that this book will mentor young scientists who are willing to contribute to this area but do not know from where to begin. The book has been divided into two sections. The first section will deal with systems biology – in terms of the foundational understanding, highlighting issues in biological complexity, methods of analysis and various aspects of modelling. The second section deals with the engineering concepts, design strategies of the biological systems ranging from simple DNA/RNA fragments, switches and oscillators, molecular pathways to a complete synthetic cell will be described. Finally, the book will offer expert opinions in legal, safety, security and social issues to present a well-balanced information both for students and scientists.
Heavy metal accumulation in soil and water from natural sources or anthropogenic activities have produced severe environmental contamination in some parts of the world due to the persistence of metals in the environment by their accumulation throughout the food chain. The purpose of this book is to present the most recent advances in this field, mainly concerning the uptake and translocation of heavy metals in plants, mechanisms of toxicity, perception of metal and regulation of cell response under metal stress. Another key feature of this book is related to the studies on signaling and remediation processes in recent years, which have taken advantage of recent technological advances includi...
Plants possess a range of potential cellular mechanisms that may be involved in the detoxification of heavy metals and thus tolerance to metal stress. Metal toxicity causes multiple direct and indirect effects in plants that concern practically all physiological functions. The main purpose of this book is to present comprehensive and concise information on recent advances in the field of metal transport and how genetic diversity affects heavy metal transport in plants. Other key futures of the book are related to metal toxicity and detoxification mechanisms, biochemical tools for HM remediation processes, molecular mechanisms for HM detoxification, how metallomics and metalloproteomics are affected by heavy metal stress in plants, and the role of ROS metabolism in the alleviation of heavy metals. Some chapters also focus on recent developments in the field of phytoremediation. Overall the book presents in-depth information and the most essential advances in the field of heavy metal toxicity in plants in recent years.

The book will serve as a valuable reference resource for academics and researchers across the globe.
Agricultural Water Management: Theories and Practices advances the scientific understanding, development and application of agricultural water management through an integrated approach. This book presents a collection of recent developments and applications of agricultural water management from advanced sources, such as satellite, mesoscale and climate models that are integrated with conceptual modeling systems. Users will find sections on drought, irrigation scheduling, weather forecasting, climate change, precipitation forecasting, and more. By linking these systems, this book provides the first resource to promote the synergistic and multidisciplinary activities of scientists in hydro-meteorological and agricultural sciences. As agricultural water management has gained considerable momentum in recent decades among the earth and environmental science communities as they seek solutions and an understanding of the concepts integral to agricultural water management, this book is an ideal resource for study and reference.
This book covers a variety of topics in Electronics and Communication Engineering, especially in the area of microelectronics and VLSI design, communication systems and networks, and signal and image processing.

The book also discusses the emerging applications of novel tools and techniques in image, video, and multimedia signal processing. This book is useful to students, researchers, and professionals working in the electronics and communication domain.
Many professionals experience a stage of stagnancy in their career at least once in the entire career span. While some people succumb to external situations and accept to live that way, others consider that as an opportunity to reinvent their career and excel in their life. 'Build the Most Exceptional You' is a transformational blueprint to develop a more innovative, productive, influential, and unstoppable version of yourself so that you can unlock your potential at work and in life. The book enlightens professionals on how they can use the secret weapon of ‘S - C - I - E - N - C - E’ framework to rebuild, rewire, and recreate their careers. This life-changing book revolves around the story of a mid-career engineer, which will not only help you to acquire a fresh perspective towards your career relevant in the 21st century but also guide you in implementation about how you can grow exponentially by practising the principles, strategies, and tools shared. A must-read for professionals who don’t want to live a mediocre life and grow in their career.
The present book is based on the curriculum of undergraduate and postgraduate courses of universities in India and abroad. Every effort is made to present the various topics in the theory of graphs in a logical manner with adequate historical background and include suitable figures to illustrate concepts and results ideally. The formidable exercises, neither easy nor straightforward, are bold faced and highlighted. The theory portion of each chapter is studied thoroughly as it helps solve many of the problems with comparative ease. Selected material from this book is used for a semester course on graph theory, while the entire book serves for a whole session course.
