The concept of Developmental Biology is the study of how animals and plants grow and develop. Developmental biology also includes the study of regeneration, asexual reproduction, metamorphosis, and the development and differentiation of stem cells in adult organisms. The concept of developmental biology encompasses all facets of development, including the genes and molecular processes that direct growth as well as the structural alterations that an organism experiences as it grows. They investigate a wide range of developmental processes, from animal and plant embryogenesis to the aggregation of slime mould amoebae, blooming plants, and limb regeneration in salamanders. Developmental biologi...
The life sciences have always been regarded as one of the most important branches of science. Due to the exponential growth in the amount of scientific knowledge as well as the pace at which new discoveries are generated, it is necessary to have information and a comprehension of it that is highly detailed, inter-disciplinary, and up to date. The books of Life Sciences are the best entry point for someone willing to enter the ocean of enormous knowledge of the life and related incidence occurred in the timeline. It is written in clear and concise language to enhance self-motivation and strategic learning skill of the students and empower them with a mechanism to measure and analyze their abi...

With the increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration and the resulting environmental consequences for plants, it is necessary to consider the future of rubber plantations, an important source of latex for rubber production. In this volume, the authors explore the ecology of rubber plantations in the context of carbon management under a scenario of our changing climate. The authors provide an in-depth study of the carbon stock and sequestration potentiality of rubber plantations. The volume also provides information on a biomass estimating model that can be used in the future study of non-harvesting biomass estimation for a variety of plants. Key features: • Provides an understanding of the role of rubber plantations in carbon management • Presents biomass models and biomass carbon stocks • Explores the impact of land use changes on soil organic carbon • Looks at ecosystem carbon sequestration • Explores methods of allometric model development for different growth ages of rubber plantations • Advances our knowledge of the global carbon cycle that will be helpful in studying changing environmental effects on other crops and plant products.
Theory and Design for Mechanical Measurements provides a well-founded, fundamental background in the theory and practice of engineering measurements. Designed to align with a variety of undergraduate course structures, the book offers a rigorous treatment of the subject with a flexible pedagogical framework for use in graduate studies, independent study, or professional reference. It integrates the necessary elements to conduct engineering measurements through the design of measurement systems and measurement test plans, with an emphasis on the role of statistics and uncertainty analyses in that process. This International Adaptation offers new or expanded material on several topics, mostly under Fundamentals of Measurement, Systematic and Random Errors and Standard Uncertainties, Sensors and Actuators. Along with extensive coverage of device selection, test procedures, measurement system performance, the book includes practical discussion on real-world methods and techniques. The current applications of measurement theory and design are presented with examples, case studies, and vignettes. The updated end-of-chapter material includes significant number of new problems.
