This volume provides an abundance of valuable information on emerging eco-friendly technology and its potential role in combating climate change via agroforesty. The volume begins by describing the recent understanding of the scenario of climate change and its issues and challenges and provides an in-depth analysis of the potential of agroforestry toward climate change mitigation and adaptation. Chapters address a wide range of techniques and methods for mitigating the negative aspects of climate change through agroforesty, such as vermicomposting, carbon sequestration, horticulture techniques, nutrient sequestration and soil sustainability, conservation of medicinal plant resources, silvipa...
This comprehensive text provides practical guidance for implementing nature-inspired algorithms and metaheuristics in real-life scenarios to solve complex optimization problems. It further demonstrates how nature inspired metaheuristic algorithms have the potential to contribute to multiple United Nations sustainable development goals such as climate action, clean energy, and sustainable cities. This book: Discusses load balancing and demand response using nature-inspired optimization techniques Presents energy-efficient routing and scheduling, energy management, and optimization using metaheuristic algorithms Covers disease diagnosis, and prognosis using metaheuristic algorithms, drug disco...
This book provides an overview of various drug delivery systems at the cellular level including biological, chemical methods, and most importantly physical methods such as photoporation, electroporation, mechanoporation, and device-based techniques (e.g., microfluidics), as well as organism-level techniques including nanomaterials, biomaterials, and transdermal. Drug delivery (DD) can be defined as the method and route by which an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) is administered to promote its desired pharmacological effect and/or convenience and/or to reduce adverse effects. Drug delivery systems are developed to maximize drug efficacy and minimize side effects. As drug delivery techn...
No matter who you are, where you live, or what your life circumstances are, if you’ve gone through the teenage, you must remember the first time you’ve fallen in love. The time when you’ve created your own universe in your mind. The time when you used to fly high and high in your dreams. The time when you used to get butterflies in your stomach. The time when only a smile can melt your heart and a whiff can cure all your pains. But then we grew up and something is left behind, some words, some feelings, some emotions. Something that is left unspoken, the words that left unexpressed. People do move on in life but something remains there for always. Some of them just feel those vibes and some of them make those moments immortal by penning down their heart in form of poetries, writings and shayaris, in their diaries. The book is all about those feelings that are left unexpressed, some words that are left unspoken. Let’s take this moment to celebrate the journey of our lives, and dive into some stories penned down by some awesome co-authors.
Ecological intensification involves using natural resources such as land, water, soil nutrients, and other biotic and abiotic variables in a sustainable way to achieve high performance and efficiency in agricultural yield with minimal damage to the agroecosystems. With increasing food demand there is high pressure on agricultural systems. The concept of ecological intensification presents the mechanisms of ensuring high agricultural productivity by restoration the soil health and landscape ecosystem services. The approach involves the replacement of anthropogenic inputs with eco-friendly and sustainable alternates. Effective ecological intensification requires an understanding of ecosystems ...
