Agroforestry is an age old practice throughout the world, but its recognition as a science is nearly three decades old. The scientific and systematic research on tree-crop interactions, in India, started in late 1970's and got major support and impetus with the establishment of All India Coordinated Research Project (AICRP) on Agroforestry in 1983 by ICAR. Today AICRP on Agroforestry has its network through out the country. Under AICRP and through the individual efforts of State Agricultural Universities, location specific agroforestry systems has been recommended to suit agro-climatic zones, landholdings and economic status of the region. Though extensive research had been done till date, b...
Selected, peer reviewed papers from the 2013 4th International Conference on Manufacturing Science and Technology (ICMST 2013), August 3-4, 2013, Dubai, UAE
This book comprises the select peer-reviewed proceedings of the 13th International Symposium on Plasticity and Impact Mechanics (IMPLAST) 2022, which was held at Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, to commemorate the 80th birthday of Prof. N K Gupta, IIT, Delhi. It aims to provide a comprehensive and broad-spectrum picture of the state-of-the-art research and development in diverse areas, such as constitutive relations, theories of plasticity, stress waves in solids, earthquake loading, high-speed impact problems, fire and blast loading, structural crashworthiness and failure, mechanics of penetration and perforation, among others. The contents focus on aspects of large deformations and failure of materials, including metals, composites, cellular, geomaterials, or concrete, and structures resulting from quasi-static earthquake, fire, impact, or blast loading. This book is a valuable resource for researchers and professionals working in academia and industry in the areas of mechanical, materials, and aerospace engineering.
Annual Reports in Medicinal Chemistry: Roadmaps, Volume 62 highlights new advances in the field, with this new volume presenting interesting chapters written by an international board of authors. This release provides a compendium of information on newly approved drugs and compounds entering late-stage clinical trials, making it a valuable resource for graduate students pursuing research in medicinal chemistry - Reviews on hot topics of interest in small molecule drug discovery heavily pursued by industrial research organizations - Provides preclinical information in the context of chemical structures - Includes section editors who are highly knowledgeable and who can evaluate invited reviews for scientific rigor
For thousands of years mint has enjoyed an honored place in pharmacopoeias and kitchen cupboards in India, China, Europe, North America, and elsewhere. Today the amount of essential oils produced from the four major mint species (cornmint, peppermint, Native spearmint, and Scotch spearmint) exceeds 23,000 metric tonnes annually with a market value
This book focuses on dynamic antiplane problems of piezoelectric ceramics. It presents relatively simple theoretical solutions to many such problems, and attempts to use these solutions to demonstrate the operation and design of several acoustic wave devices. Some of the solutions are able to show the underlying physics clearly without the need for numerical computation. The problems treated include the propagation of plate waves, surface waves, interface waves, Love waves, gap waves, and vibrations of finite bodies of various shapes with applications in resonators, mass sensors, fluid sensors, interface sensors, phononic crystals, piezoelectric generators or power harvesters, piezoelectric transformers, power or signal transmission through an elastic wall, and acoustic wave excitation and detection for nondestructive evaluation.
Vols. for 1963- include as pt. 2 of the Jan. issue: Medical subject headings.
Environmental contamination of heavy metals is a major problem, threatening sustainable agricultural production and health of millions of people. The extensive distribution of heavy metals in soil and water makes it necessary to employ environment-friendly low-cost and sustainable approaches for the remediation of contaminated sites. Phytoremediation has been considered a viable approach to meet these demands; however, it must provide some economic gains too. The use of economically important medicinal and aromatic plants is helpful in restoration of metal-contaminated sites and also may provide economic gains to the farmers. The book brings about a critical overview of the prospects of util...
