Climate is a vital factor that influences land use, crop quality, its productivity as well as all the other of agricultural systems. The significant impact of climate change is visible on human societies and natural ecosystems around the world. This impact will be more severe on agriculture if global warming continues. As per estimates of IPCC (2014), the agriculture, forestry and other land use contributes 24% of global greenhouse gas emissions. These emissions need to be reduced to avoid the serious impact of climate change using mitigation measures and adaptation strategies. Currently, unreliable and seasonal variations in weather have emerged as a serious challenge for sustainability influencing vegetation, biodiversity, livestock, soil, water, and other natural resources. In the last decade, more occurrence of extreme weather events affected farming community directly in their agricultural growth. The matter is of great concern to country like India, which require more produce from rainfed fields and shrinking crop land. To understand the problems occurring due to climate change, concerted efforts are required for mitigation and adaptation to reduce the vulnerability of rainfed agriculture and making it resilient. Agricultural output as well as the livelihood of people who depend on it, are particularly vulnerable to climate change, and it is important that we assess adaptation mechanisms to reduce these vulnerabilities. These practices should play a vital role to reduce GHG emissions by improving efficiency of farm inputs and others like agroforestry interventions for green agricultural technologies. Similarly, adoption of conservation agriculture, suitable cultivars, changing sowing dates, irrigation scheduling, and recycling waste water and solid waste in agriculture are some of the options for developing climate resilient agriculture. The book has been divided into major heads as: Climate Change and Indian Agriculture, Climate Change Management Strategies in Agriculture, Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Indian Agriculture, New Technologies in relation to Climate Change and with contribution from major research institutes, universities by eminent scientists, faculty members the book will fit into the needs of all concerns.
An Introduction to Hindustani Classical Music: A Guidebook for Beginners is Vijay Singha's comprehensive guide to savour and appreciate classical music.

Introducing the book “Textbook of Advanced Pharmacognosy-I" is something that fills me with an incredible amount of joy. The content of this book has been meticulously crafted to adhere to the curriculum for Bachelor of Pharmacy students that have been outlined by the Pharmacy Council of India. An effort has been made to investigate the topic using terminology that is as straightforward as possible in order to make it more simply digestible for pupils. The book has a number of illustrations, such as flowcharts and diagrams that make it simple for students to comprehend complex ideas. It is the author's honest desire that both students and academicians would take something helpful away from reading this book. I am hoping that both the students and the teachers will have positive reactions to this book. We are open to hearing recommendations regarding any and all aspects of the profession. We take full responsibility for any deviations or errors that may have been overlooked, and we would be extremely appreciative if readers would bring them to our attention if they did occur.
Thermal convection is often encountered by scientists and engineers while designing or analyzing flows involving exchange of energy. Fundamentals of Convective Heat Transfer is a unified text that captures the physical insight into convective heat transfer and thorough, analytical, and numerical treatments. It also focuses on the latest developments in the theory of convective energy and mass transport. Aimed at graduates, senior undergraduates, and engineers involved in research and development activities, the book provides new material on boiling, including nuances of physical processes. In all the derivations, step-by-step and systematic approaches have been followed.
Biorenewable polymers based nanomaterials are rapidly emerging as one of the most fascinating materials for multifunctional applications. Among biorenewable polymers, cellulose based nanomaterials are of great importance due to their inherent advantages such as environmental friendliness, biodegradability, biocompatibility, easy processing and cost effectiveness, to name a few. They may be produced from biological systems such as plants or be chemically synthesised from biological materials. This book summarizes the recent remarkable achievements witnessed in green technology of cellulose based nanomaterials in different fields ranging from biomedical to automotive. This book also discusses the extensive research developments for next generation nanocellulose-based polymer nanocomposites. The book contains seventeen chapters and each chapter addresses some specific issues related to nanocellulose and also demonstrates the real potentialities of these nanomaterials in different domains. The key features of the book are: Synthesis and chemistry of nanocellulose from different biorenewable resources Different characterization of nanocellulosic materials and their respective polymer nanocomposites Physico-chemical, thermal and mechanical investigation of nanocellulose based polymer nanocomposites Provides elementary information and rich understanding of the present state-of- art of nanocellulose-based materials Explores the full range of applications of different nanocellulose-based materials.
Today’s world is bounded by data, from morning to night each and all work is associated to data. The usage of computer and its technology is rapidly growing in many different fields like Education, banking sector, bioinformatics field, business, health cares and Industry. In all ways, everywhere data is created and this information is stored in various hubs or data wares houses. There is huge amount of data and it is created by increasing usage of computer. There is rapidly growth of data generated by all systems and it can be used for deriving models by assessing useful relationship among input and output dependencies. Consequently, there is presently shifted a model since classical modelling and it investigates to develop a model and the equivalent analyses from stored data. Government organizations, scientific institutions, administration offices and businesses have all dedicated huge resources to assembly and putting away information. Now a days, Data can possibly assist organizations with improving tasks and make quicker, progressively powerful decisions. The information or data is gathered from various sources including messages, cell phones, applications, databases, servers and different methods. This information is collected, arranged, controlled and put in meaningful information. This meaningful information would assist to an organization with valuable understanding to hold the clients for expand the income and improved the business activities. The government organizations and companies are gathering the useful information to support to manage human resources.
