Advances in chemical engineering are focused on intensification of reactions, unit operations and mechanical operations. Intensification facilitates reduction in cost, size and increase in conversion, separation and selectivity. In case of distillation, reactive distillation can reduce energy cost and increase product quality considerably compared to conventional reactor- separator method. Similar advantages can be considered for reaction adsorption and other reactive separations. Use of non-renewable energy sources can reduce burden on conventional feed stocks and reduce carbon foot prints. Nano materials are gaining importance due to their unique properties. Application of nanomaterial for process intensification is being explored in mass transfer, heat transfer and reaction engineering. The composition of flue gases depends on raw material and process. It is important to have adequate knowledge of these aspects while selecting treatment methods. Various chemical conversion methods are effective for the treatment of flue gases. The recovery of components from flue gases involves adsorption, absorption, stripping, and desorption methods. This book contains one chapter on food adulteration also. Food adulteration is very increasing and dangerous phenomenon. It is being practiced from ancient times. Adulteration for maximizing profit is very commonly practiced unethical practice. There is need for increasing moral and ethical values. There is need for people friendly methods for analysing or at least identification of adulterations. Also use of branded items can minimize harms due to adulteration. The chapters in this book are focused on non-renewable energy (chapters 1, 5, 9), water treatment and recycle (chapters 4, 10, 11, 12), use of advanced materials for catalysts (chapters 2, 3, 13), flue gas heat recovery (14), Intensification of unit operations (5, 6, 7, 8) and adulteration in food products.
Analgesia is the relief of pain. It can take a variety of forms including pain medication, local anaesthesia or regional block. Anaesthesia implies either unconsciousness (general anaesthesia) or complete absence of sensation (regional anaesthesia) (Healthtap.com). Part of the World Clinics: Anesthesia, Critical Care & Pain series, this book presents evidence-based reviews of current protocols in the management of labour and delivery using analgesia and/or anaesthesia. Divided into three sections, the book begins with an introduction to the basic anatomical and physiological changes in pregnancy, practical pharmacology and neonatal physiology. Section two discusses obstetric analgesia, including non-pharmacological options. The third section describes obstetric anaesthesia, including airway management in general anaesthesia, regional anaesthesia for caesarean section, and management of failed spinal block. Key points Part of World Clinics: Anesthesia, Critical Care & Pain series Evidence-based reviews of obstetrical analgesia and anaesthesia Contributions from specialists in the USA, Europe and Asia
Rauvolfia species, commonly known as Sarpagandha, has been traditionally used in Ayurveda for curing high blood pressure, hypertension, snake bites, fever, and mental illnesses. Due to its wide variety and differences in chemical composition, it is necessary to develop an efficient and reliable method for rapid screening and determination of phytochemicals in the extracts of the Rauvolfia species. This book will provide qualitative and quantitative comparative phytochemical investigations of selected medicinal plants from the Rauvolfia genus using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) techniques. The results will help in assuring the efficacy and safety of Rauvolfia herbal products. Features: Collection of Ayurvedic features and scientific evidence of important medicinal plants. Discusses chemical signatures for the identification of Rauvolfia (Sarpagandha) and its products. Easy-to-use analytical procedure for quality control of Rauvolfia and its products.

The scientific programme comprised 18 plenary lectures, 1 public lecture and 19 workshops which, excepting 3 plenary lectures, are presented in this proceedings. It was the first major international conference on general relativity and gravitation held on the African continent.
The world is witnessing climate change. As responsible citizens of planet earth, we can actively participate in the co-creation of actionable knowledge and solutions. There may not be a single and linear pathway to adaptation anymore. This book explores multiple and iterative pathways of adapting to climate change and its impacts. Climate Change and Adaptive Innovation introduces an adaptive innovation model that has its premise on core values of justice, care and solidarity. Navigating collectively through shared conversations and dialogic processes, this model showcases how we could embark on an enduring journey where diverse actors could collaboratively make informed choices and take necessary actions to enhance the safety and security of their lived environment. Rooted in action research, it is envisaged that this model could enable us to facilitate the designing and implementation of people-centred ethical adaptation projects. This book will be of interest to social workers, social scientists and development practitioners who are engaged in the field of climate justice, adaptation, social innovation and sustainable livelihoods. Social work educators and students will certainly draw inspiration from the stories that are shared in this book. It will further motivate many transdisciplinary professionals to engage with action research as a method of innovation, reflection and practice
The fossil history of animal life in India is central to our understanding of the tectonic evolution of Gondwana, dispersal of India, its northward journey, and its collision with Asia. This book provides the only detailed overview of the paleobiogeographic, tectonic, and paleoclimatic evolution of the Indian plate from Gondwana to Asia. This thorough, up-to-date volume is a must-have reference for researchers and students in Indian geology, paleontology, plate tectonics, and collision of continents.
PREFACE It gives me immense pleasure to share a few sentences as preface of the ‘Survey of Research Abstract of Faculty of Education (K)’, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi. As we are aware that educational research aimed at developing curriculum, syllabus, textbooks, instructional materials, assessment modules, pedagogical innovations and qualitative practices and reforms. Information and communication technology, e-resources, e-contents, on-line mode of curricular transactions are becoming more prominent and effective in certain domains worldwide. Researches at doctoral and post-doctoral level are to be addressed the issues related to community, it needs and aspirations, curriculum (advances to be incorporate) and teaching-learning processes in order to make education updated, fulfilling the developmental needs, updated education refines the sensitivities of the learners to be constructive and productive in their approaches to bring desired development for themselves and for the society at large. Fast changing scenario on expected to lines and also on unexpected lines, both demand multifaceted preparedness to meet the challenges of life, likely to emerge. The present covid-19 situation has forced people globally to be locked down to fight against fatal corona virus. Under the situation researches and education processes one unique features such as: online mode of teaching- learning, development of e-content & e-resources, digital pedagogy, curricular flexibility, alternate system of evaluation and examinations, teachers knowledge base and preparedness and students achievement etc. all these have put forwards new areas of study. The comprehensive volume II of the Research Abstract includes eighty Ph.D. thesis and two hundred P.G. dissertations, covered various areas, including educational psychology, philosophy, sociology, technology, curricular studies, examination, evaluation, discipline-based pedagogies etc. Volume provides a rich knowledge base to readers to find knowledge gap in a particular areas for further research design in a way researcher finds a direction to proceed with a new problem with a sound research plan. I on behalf of the Faculty of Education and on my own behalf convey my sincere congratulations to the entire team of the publication and to Prof. S. K. Singh, the chief editor of the volume. I am sure readers will be immensely benefited from this great volume. Date: 26th May, 2020 (R. P. Shukla)
