Biomass Valorization to Bioenergy
This book covers topics related to bioenergy production from various biomass sources, including agricultural residues and waste biomass from both domestic and industrial use. It includes useful data, illustrations, and case studies of bioenergy production facilities. The contents of this book will be of interest to readers looking to scale up production and evaluate the selection and optimization of resources in order to overcome the current limitations of biomass to bioenergy conversions. The book will be of interest to researchers and industry professional alike.
Multi-lingual Information Access in South Asian Languages
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the Second and Third Workshops of the Forum for Information Retrieval Evaluation, FIRE 2010 and 2011, on Multi-lingual Information Access in South Asian Languages held in Gandhinagar, India, in February 2010 and in Bombay, India, in December 2011. The volume brings together revised and expanded versions of a total of 29 papers. The papers are organized in topical sections on various aspects of multi-lingual information access.
Electrical Resistivity and Other Geophysical Methods for Improved Modelling of Groundwater Flow
In recent years, distributed and process-based numerical models have been widely used in the modelling of groundwater flow processes and the prediction of available groundwater resources under different climate and land use conditions. However, aquifer characterisation is a prime requisite for groundwater flow and solute transport modelling. In order to characterise any aquifer of interest, bore well lithologs (from drilling) are essential, and aquifer pump tests can provide data of hydraulic properties. Both methods, however, are time-consuming and very expensive. This volume explores the advantages of geophysical techniques that can be used to overcome these limitations and can provide data of the subsurface with high spatial and vertical resolution. It describes case studies with detailed information on the conceptualisation of different aquifers that will be useful to many researchers and academics in the field of earth and environmental science, water resources, and civil engineering.
Internet of Things and Big Data Analytics for Smart Generation
This book discusses emerging technologies in the field of the Internet of Things and big data, an area that will be scaled in next two decades. Written by a team of leading experts, it is the only book focusing on the broad areas of both the Internet of things and big data. The thirteen chapters present real-time experimental methods and theoretical explanations, as well as the implementation of these technologies through various applications. Offering a blend of theory and hands-on practices, the book enables graduate, postgraduate and research students who are involved in real-time project scaling techniques to understand projects and their execution. It is also useful for senior computer students, researchers and industry workers who are involved in experimenting with the Internet of Things and big data technologies, helping them to solve the real-time problem. Moreover, the chapters covering cutting-edge technologies help multidisciplinary researchers who are bridging the gap of two different outset real-time problems.
Cases on AI Ethics in Business
Organizations face a pressing challenge in today's rapidly evolving economies: navigating the ethical complexities of adopting Artificial Intelligence (AI) and related technologies. As AI becomes increasingly integral to operations, transparency, fairness, accountability, and privacy concerns are more critical than ever. Organizations need practical guidance to develop and implement AI ethics strategies effectively. Cases on AI Ethics in Business offers a comprehensive solution by examining AI Ethics through theoretical lenses and innovative practices. It provides a roadmap for organizations to address ethical challenges in AI adoption, offering insights from leaders in the field. With a focus on theory-to-practice, the book equips readers with actionable strategies and frameworks to navigate the ethical implications of AI, ensuring responsible and sustainable AI deployment.
Medicinal Plants and Their Bioactives in Human Diseases
Medicinal plants offer a promising alternative or complement to conventional therapies due to their natural origin, wide availability, and potential to provide a broad spectrum of pharmacological effects. Bioactive compounds derived from these plants, such as alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, and phenolics, have shown diverse therapeutic activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and anti-cancer effects. The use of medicinal plants could provide safer, more holistic approaches to managing chronic and neurodegenerative diseases, reducing side effects and improving patient outcomes. By focusing on the applications of medicinal plants and their bioactive compounds, this book aims to explore the untapped potential of natural products in combating some of the most challenging diseases affecting human health today. It will serve as a comprehensive reference for researchers, healthcare professionals, and students interested in the therapeutic use of plant-based compounds and contribute to the advancement of integrative medicine.
Impacts of Urbanization on Hydrological Systems in India
This book documents the various impacts of urbanization on hydrological systems and water resources. The first half of the book is focused on urbanization and surface waters, starting with the status of hydrological systems in the urban areas, i.e. the catchment characteristics and changes in rainfall dynamics. The most pronounced hydrological problems in cities are changes in runoff due to precipitation. Recently, rain events have been less frequent but more intense, sometimes leading to flash floods. Though the substantial increase in runoff causes floods in the urbanized area, it may be attributed to the reduction of infiltration due to construction of roads. This, in turn, results in gro...
