The Neighbour
"""I could not put this book down"" - Tuhin Parikh, (friend of the Authors who has Tennis elbow) ""An absolutely hilarious book"" - The New York Times newsagent. ""It had me on the edge of the seat...(sigh) it's time I buy a new seat"" - A random individual Karan and Gautam are two friends sharing an apartment and a chalk and cheese relationship. Things start taking a strange turn when their new neighbour's strange habits raise eyebrows, temperatures and curiosity levels. Is their new neighbour really someone whom he claims to be? Why is he never seen? Who are the ""Made in China"" Al Capones who visit him? Does he have a past he needs to hide? As Karan and Gautam plunge further into the search along with Priya, the plot thickens with more twists and turns than a Rubik's cube and heads towards an amazing climax."
Bacterial Endophytes for Sustainable Agriculture and Environmental Management
This book is a comprehensive account of recent advances in the endophytic research. It covers recent perspective of endophytic research, molecular diversity, bioprospecting of novel genes using high throughput molecular techniques, and most importantly application of endophytes in practicing sustainable agriculture. Endophytic micro-organisms are mysterious living component associated mutually with plant roots and soil microbes. Various endophytic bacteria have attracted considerable attention for their ability to promote plant growth through direct mechanisms or by acting as biocontrol agents. Endophytes also find use in biocontrol, medicine, agriculture and food industry. This is a useful reading for the student of agriculture, environmental microbiology and biotechnology.
In vitro Plant Breeding towards Novel Agronomic Traits
This book presents a comprehensive overview of plant stresses caused by salt, drought, extreme temperatures, oxygen and toxic compounds, which are responsible for huge losses in crop yields. It discusses the latest research on the impact of salinity and global environment changes, and examines the advances in the identification and characterization of the mechanisms that allow plants to tolerate biotic and abiotic stresses. Further it presents our current understanding of metabolic fluxes and the various transporters that collectively open the possibility of applying in vitro technology and genetic engineering to improve stress tolerance. Exploring advanced methods that augment traditional plant tissue culture and breeding techniques toward the development of new crop varieties that can tolerate biotic and abiotic stresses to achieve sustainable food production, this book is a valuable resource for plant scientists and researchers.
A Muslim Conspiracy in British India?
This book explores how belief in a global conspiracy against the British Empire ignited local politics and schemes in southern India.
Plant-Pest Interactions: From Molecular Mechanisms to Chemical Ecology
As food producers, plants are constantly under attack by insects. Over the course of evolution, plants have not only developed a sophisticated defense apparatus but have also refined biochemical defense mechanisms to protect themselves, thereby maintaining the ecological balance. Plant-pest interactions induce an elaborate array of reactions involving the release of volatile compounds, effector and signaling molecules, trans-membrane proteins, and a variety of enzymes and hormones. This book offers a comprehensive guide to the strategies that plants employ against insects and other pests to ensure their continued survival. Addressing an important gap in the literature, it shares the latest findings in the field of plant–pest interactions for a broad audience. Providing an overview of the current state of knowledge on plant-pest interactions and their role in the genetic improvement of crops, it offers an essential guide for researchers and professionals in the fields of agriculture, plant pathology, entomology, cell biology, molecular biology and genetics.
Information Integration and Web Intelligence
This volume includes the papers presented at the 24th International Conference on Information Integration and Web Intelligence (iiWAS 2022), organized in conjunction with 24th International Conference on Advances in Mobile Computing & Multimedia Intelligence (MoMM2022). The dominant research focus of submitted papers was artificial intelligence and machine learning. The accepted papers presented advances and innovations in an array of areas such as internet of things, virtual and augmented reality, various business applications. iiWAS 2022 attracted 97 papers, from which the Program Committee selected 26 regular papers and 25 short papers. Due to safety concerns as well as other restrictions preventing travel and gatherings, it was decided to organize iiWAS 2022 as a virtual conference.
Phytoremediation
This book details the plant-assisted remediation method, “phytoremediation”, which involves the interaction of plant roots and associated rhizospheric microorganisms for the remediation of soil contaminated with high levels of metals, pesticides, solvents, radionuclides, explosives, crude oil, organic compounds and various other contaminants. Each chapter highlights and compares the beneficial and economical alternatives of phytoremediation to currently practiced soil removal and burial practices.

Broken Promises: Caste, Crime and Politics in Bihar
Broken Promises tells the story of Bihar's plunge into an abyss of crime, corruption and economic ruin during the tumultuous decade of the 1990s, often referred to as the ‘Jungle Raj’ years. How did a land, once the cradle of civilisation, devolve into a byword for the worst of India as described by The Economist in 2004? Mrityunjay Sharma traces the post-Independence socio-politics of Bihar and the momentous events leading up to the ’90s: the unravelling of long-standing Congress governments, the rise of OBC assertion with Lohiaite politics, the JP movement that put the spotlight on young leaders like Lalu Yadav and Nitish Kumar, Karpoori Thakur's reservation formula, the rise of Naxa...
