The Princess of Swarna-Sarsika
It is not always necessary that the arrival of a storm would imply some ominous signs. The storm often brings with it change and transition. The Princess of Swarna-sarsika is a fantasy tale that traces out the mysterious birth of Aadya in the most affluent family of the city accompanied by an uncanny and an eerie turmoil that was about to change the course of life for the inhabitants of the city. The mysterious pond that shimmers like gold in the northern yard of the Kashyap mansion beholds the secrets that recounts the past events and its connection with Aadya’s birth mark and her destiny. Being born with alluring beauty and unique attributes she holds the power to heal, read minds and se...
Swarna And The Magical Forest
When seven-year-old Swarnalatha’s grandmother leaves her home alone, Swarnalatha feels compelled to visit the mighty forest of Swarnaranya, which towers over their tiny cottage. Forbidden from exploring the forest’s mysterious depths, having being told of strange happenings and vicious beasts, Swarnalatha plays at its edge with her pets Chiku and Moti beneath a mango tree. Then the forest begins to call to her…
Scientific Basis for Ayurvedic Therapies
Arguably the oldest form of health care, Ayurveda is often referred to as the "Mother of All Healing." Although there has been considerable scientific research done in this area during the last 50 years, the results of that research have not been adequately disseminated. Meeting the need for an authoritative, evidence-based reference, Scientific Ba
Slavery in International Law
Slavery in International Law sets out the law related to slavery and lesser servitudes, including forced labour and debt bondage; thus developing an overall understanding of the term human ‘exploitation’, which is at the heart of the definition of trafficking.
Crop Traits for Defense Against Pests and Disease: Durability, Breakdown and Future Prospects, 2nd Edition
With global populations expected to exceed 9.2 billion by 2050 and available land and water resources devoted to crop production dwindling, we face significant challenges to secure global food security. Only 12 plant species feed 80% of the world’s population, with just three crop species (wheat, rice and maize) accounting for food consumed by 50% of the global population. Annual losses to crop pests and pathogens are significant, thought to be equivalent to that required to feed a billion people, at a time when crop productivity has plateaued. With pesticide applications becoming increasingly unfeasible on cost, efficacy and environmental grounds, there is growing interest in exploiting p...
Plant Phenotyping and Phenomics for Plant Breeding
As a consequence of the global climate change, both the reduction on yield potential and the available surface area of cultivated species will compromise the production of food needed for a constant growing population. There is consensus about the significant gap between world food consumption projected for the coming decades and the expected crop yield-improvements, which are estimated to be insufficient to meet the demand. The complexity of this scenario will challenge breeders to develop cultivars that are better adapted to adverse environmental conditions, therefore incorporating a new set of morpho-physiological and physico-chemical traits; a large number of these traits have been found to be linked to heat and drought tolerance. Currently, the only reasonable way to satisfy all these demands is through acquisition of high-dimensional phenotypic data (high-throughput phenotyping), allowing researchers with a holistic comprehension of plant responses, or ‘Phenomics’. Phenomics is still under development. This Research Topic aims to be a contribution to the progress of methodologies and analysis to help understand the performance of a genotype in a given environment.
Narratives and New Voices from India
This volume focuses on indigenous knowledge in analyzing the traditions and communication processes within various communities of Northeast India. It deals with the historical and theoretical trajectory of communication for social change as a discipline, bringing together a series of interesting case studies from the sphere of meaningful learning where individuals and communities engage in a cooperative and dialogic environment to promote change at multiple levels. The case studies cover a range of media - radio, video, ‘forum theatre’ - and considers both practitioners and audiences. The authors’ focus on narration, diversity, participation, and interaction is timely, and expands knowledge relating to these areas by linking them in new ways. It is of interest to an academic audience as well as practitioners researching and working in areas of education, communication, community development, and social work.
Rice Genetics V
Rice is now the model plant for genetic research on crop plants; and those who work on rice do so not only to help grow and eat it, but also to advance the frontiers of genetics and molecular biology. Progress made in the last 20 years, since the first International Rice Genetics Symposium (IRGS), has made rice the organism of choice for research on crop plants, and it has become a reference genome. This volume is a collection of the papers presented at the Fifth IRGS in 2005. It reports the latest developments in the field and includes research on breeding, mapping of genes and quantitative trait loci, identification and cloning of candidate genes for biotic and abiotic stresses, gene expression, as well as genomic databases and mutant induction for functional genomics.
