The Rice-Wheat Cropping System of South Asia
The lives of more than a billion people depend on the answer!Thirty years ago, the Green Revolution changed the way agriculture was practiced on the Indo-Gangetic Plain (IGP). This valuable book critically analyzes and discusses the rice-wheat cropping system introduced at that time. The Rice-Wheat Cropping System of South Asia: Trends, Constraints, Productivity and Policy addresses the crucial question, ”Are the sustainability and productivity of this system in a state of decline?” The Rice-Wheat Cropping System of South Asia brings together information gathered from research institutions, government organizations, and farmer surveys. The analysis concentrates on the trends of rice-whea...
Information and Communication Technology for Intelligent Systems
The book gathers papers addressing state-of-the-art research in all areas of Information and Communication Technologies and their applications in intelligent computing, cloud storage, data mining and software analysis. It presents the outcomes of the third International Conference on Information and Communication Technology for Intelligent Systems, which was held on April 6–7, 2018, in Ahmedabad, India. Divided into two volumes, the book discusses the fundamentals of various data analytics and algorithms, making it a valuable resource for researchers’ future studies.
Handbook of Nutrition and Diet
This handbook of nutrition and diet provides information on food nutrients and their functions; food safety and distribution; food composition, consumption and utilization; adequacy of diet; and the nutritional management of diseases and disorders. It also discusses the effects of nutrition and diet on diseases of the bones, teeth, hair, kidneys, liver and nervous system.
Cardiometabolic Diseases
Cardiometabolic diseases are a group of metabolic dysfunctions mainly characterized by insulin resistance, impaired glucose tolerance, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and central adiposity that are major contributors to increased risk of acute vascular events such as myocardial infarction, heart failure and stroke. Cardiometabolic Diseases: Molecular Basis, Early Detection of Risks, and Management provides detailed information on all aspects of metabolic dysfunctions and associated risks for cardiometabolic diseases, including a thoughtful discussion of cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the progression of metabolic risks, the approaches for the early detection and robust management o...
Neurotransmitters, Receptors
Advances in Pharmacology and Therapeutics II, Volume 2: Neurotransmitters-Receptors is the second of a six-volume compilation of the scientific papers of invited speakers of the Eighth International Congress of Pharmacology. Organized into seven parts, this book begins with an invited lecture on the kinetic analysis of the neuronal and extraneuronal uptake and metabolism of catecholamines. Subsequent parts discuss the regulation of receptor-mediated events; presynaptic receptors in the peripheral and central nervous system; neurotransmitters; and receptor antibodies. The isolated nervous systems in the research of neurotransmission and trophic interactions between nerve and muscle are also discussed.
Family Matters
Life course epidemiology considers how adult health is affected by a variety of factors and influences over the entire life-course. This book provides the reader with the knowledge and skills to design, analyse, and correctly interpret family-based studies, which are increasingly being used to explore life course epidemiology.
Handbook of Growth and Growth Monitoring in Health and Disease
Growth is one of the human body’s most intricate processes: each body part or region has its own unique growth patterns. Yet at the individual and population levels, growth patterns are sensitive to adverse conditions, genetic predispositions, and environmental changes. And despite the body’s capacity to compensate for these developmental setbacks, the effects may be far-reaching, even life-long. The Handbook of Growth and Growth Monitoring in Health and Disease brings this significant and complex field together in one comprehensive volume: impact of adverse variables on growth patterns; issues at different stages of prenatal development, childhood, and adolescence; aspects of catch-up g...
Genetic Disorders of the Indian Subcontinent
The Indian subcontinent is a vast land mass inhabited by over one billion people. Its rich and varied history is reflected by its numerous racial and ethnic groups and its distinct religious, cultural and social characteristics. Like many developing countries in Asia, it is passing through both demographic and epidemiological transitions whereby, at least in some parts, the diseases of severe poverty are being replaced by those of Westemisation; obesity, diabetes, and heart disease, for example. Indeed, as we move into the new millennium India has become a land of opposites; on the one hand there is still extensive poverty yet, on the other hand, some of the most remarkable developments in c...
Antidiabetic Potential of Plants in the Era of Omics
Here is an informative overview of diabetes mellitus in conjunction with plant-based treatments. It discusses available methods for studying the antidiabetic activities of scientifically developed plant products, mechanisms of action, their therapeutic superiority, and current genome editing research perspectives and biotechnological approaches. The book begins with an introduction to diabetes, giving a brief overview of the history, diagnosis, classification, pathophysiology, and risk factors. It goes on to review traditional uses of plants for diabetes along with ethnobotanical information. The results of scientific studies on the various modes of action of antidiabetic plants are discussed, such as the molecular aspects of active plantbased antidiabetic drug molecules. A section featuring recent biotechnological advancements of antidiabetic plants and plant-based antidiabetic drugs covers advances in molecular breeding and application of molecular markers, biotechnologically engineered transgenic medicinal plants, and advances in genomic editing tools and techniques.
