Adaptive and Learning Agents
This volume constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the International Workshop on Adaptive and Learning Agents, ALA 2011, held at the 10th International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems, AAMAS 2011, in Taipei, Taiwan, in May 2011. The 7 revised full papers presented together with 1 invited talk were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on single and multi-agent reinforcement learning, supervised multiagent learning, adaptation and learning in dynamic environments, learning trust and reputation, minority games and agent coordination.
Metal Oxides for Next-generation Optoelectronic, Photonic, and Photovoltaic Applications
Metal Oxides for Next Generation Optoelectronic, Photonic and Photovoltaic Applications focuses on the optoelectronic, photonic and photovoltaic behaviors of metallic oxides and closely related phenomena, from elementary principles to the latest findings.

In addition, there is a focus on methods to tune the materials' properties in order to improve devices performance. This book is suitable for researchers and practitioners in academia and industry working in the disciplines of materials science and engineering, chemistry and physics. M...
Somaclonal Variation: Basic and Practical Aspects
This book is fundamental for plant biotechnologists at this moment, due to the extensive use of in vitro culture. Although some books about somaclonal variation were published some years ago, the circumstances in this field have undergone a great change in the last years. Much progress has been achieved in plant in vitro culture: new technologies have been developed, previously used protocols have been modified with regard to optimization, and in vitro techniques have been applied to new species. Besides, tools for somaclonal variation analysis have also changed in the last years. The techniques and instruments have substantially improved, with the development of new molecular markers and the increased precision and sensitivity of some instruments. Furthermore, novel knowledge about the basic mechanisms underlying somaclonal variation has been obtained recently, which can be very useful for explaining the variability found in different experimental systems. Therefore, it is evident that information about basic and practical aspects of somaclonal variation requires updating and the proposed book is a very good means for this purpose.
Upconversion Nanoparticles (UCNPs) for Functional Applications
This book explores upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) at both, the fundamental as well as applied levels, for functional applications. It provides a broad perspective about the synthesis approaches of UCNPs with the preferred size, improved and tunable upconversion luminescence, along with the combined multifunctionality for various applications. It highlights the fundamentals and systematic developments in the tuning of UC emission and surface engineering of UCNPs that make UCNPs convenient for use in a large range of applications. Moreover, it gives an understanding of the imposed limitations and challenges associated with these methods to achieve the desired performance in targeted applications. It also includes the latest multifunctional lanthanide-based UCNPs, which efficiently convert low-energy photons into high-energy photons, and their applications in fluorescent microscopy, deep-tissue bioimaging, nanomedicine, optogenetics, solid-state lighting, solar cells, security labeling, and volumetric display.
Advances in Colorimetry
Advances in Colorimetry covers the fundamentals of the science of the measurement of color. It is organized into six sections: “Advanced Methods and Tools for Color Measuring and Matching”, “Fundamentals and Applications of Colorimetric Analysis”, “Applications of Colorimetric Analysis for Forensic and Defence Industry”, “Applications of Colorimetric Analysis for Food Industry”, “Applications of Colorimetric Analysis for Agriculture, Environmental, Medical and Pharmaceutical Industries”, and “Applications of Colorimetric Analysis for Textiles and Apparel Industry”. Chapters in these sections address colorimetric-related topics such as advances in colorimetric evaluation techniques for color measuring and matching, spectrophotometric color analysis, forensic analysis of bloodstain color, colorimetric characterization of natural dyes, and much more.

Progress in Mycology
Indian mycologists have extensively studied various groups of fungi such as soil fungi, aquatic fungi, marine fungi, endophytic fungi, fungi associated with man and animals. Though several books on various aspects of fungi are published, this is the first account of the history and development in mycology in India. This book is the second volume of the two-volume book "Progress in Mycology: An Indian Perspective". While volume 1 contains the historical aspects, taxonomy and information about the various groups of fungi, this volume focuses majorly on the biotechnological applications of the different groups of fungi. It discusses topics such as the extremophilic fungi, the history and develo...
