This Book aims at strengthening the scientific basis for sustainable development. Scientists are improving their understanding about Nature. Technologists are harnessing the potential and resources for economic growth. Scientists, through increased research, can provide efficient techniques for supporting the prudent management of the environment. The uses of remote sensing techniques, efficient materials, application of polymer technology, alternative energy forms, etc., are other topics of discussions included in the book.
Solutions to the food shortage, demand for clean water, and need for energy for a current world population of 7 billion are the greatest challenges today, which require technological innovation and changes in public policy. This new book provides a broad overview of the nexus of water-food-energy and its relationship with climate and sustainable development, which have huge impact on water and food availability. The volume presents case studies for the management of water, energy, agricultural growth, and food security using empirical analyses and technological interventions. It explores innovations in sustainable food production; energy solutions using biofuels, solar energy, and magnetic energy; and water conservation management.
Mental health problems and worries are common among infants, children and adolescents in every part of the world. This book is a practical manual for primary healthcare professionals, teachers and anyone who works with children - especially in places where specialist psychiatric care is not available. After giving the reader an overview of child mental health problems, the manual goes on to deal with the various developmental, behavioural and emotional problems that arise in as many as 10% of the youth population. For each problem it first provides a case study and then describes how to find out more about a child with this problem. It suggests what can be done to help the child and their fa...

Baptism has been a contested practice from the very beginning of the church. In this volume, Ben Witherington rethinks the theology of baptism and does so in constant conversation with the classic theological positions and central New Testament texts. By placing baptism in the context of the covenant, Witherington shows how advocates of both believer's baptism and infant baptism have added some water to both their theology and practice of baptism
Step into the Metaverse and explore the digital frontiers reshaping our world. Digital Frontiers - Healthcare, Education, and Society in the Metaverse Era explores how the merging of AI, XR, blockchain, and Web3 technologies is changing every aspect of our lives. In a world where physical and virtual realities increasingly converge, this book provides essential insights into the technologies that are fueling this transformation and their major social implications. Learn how new digital therapeutics are changing the way we deliver personalized, noninvasive medical treatments, and discover how VR environments stimulate learning and enhance procedures and diagnostics. The new reimagining of cul...
Controlling the properties of materials by modifying their composition and by manipulating the arrangement of atoms and molecules is a dream that can be achieved by nanotechnology. As one of the fastest developing and innovative -- as well as well-funded -- fields in science, nanotechnology has already significantly changed the research landscape in chemistry, materials science, and physics, with numerous applications in consumer products, such as sunscreens and water-repellent clothes. It is also thanks to this multidisciplinary field that flat panel displays, highly efficient solar cells, and new biological imaging techniques have become reality. This second, enlarged edition has been full...
