Kings, Spirits and Memory in Central India
Part anthropological history and part memoir, this book is a unique study of the polity of the colonial-princely state of Kanker in central India. The author, a scion of the erstwhile ruling family of Kanker, delves into the oral accounts given in the ancestral deity practices of the mixed tribe-caste communities of the region to highlight popular narratives of its historical polity. As he struggles with his own dilemmas as ethnographer-king, what comes into view is a polity where the princely state is drawn out amidst a terrain of gods and spirits as much as that of law courts and magistrates, and political power is divided, contested and shared between the raja/state and the people. This s...
Linking the Endocrine System With Immunity
An adequate and balanced response to pathogenic factors is one of the conditions that determine the survival of an individual, a population, or even an entire species. Clinical data collected during the COVID-19 pandemic showed that a patients’ resistance varied, depending on their levels of well-known endocrine system regulators, e.g., vitamin D. In addition, the imbalance of hormonal milieu in women increases the prevalence rate for autoimmune diseases compared to men, whilst exposure to endocrine disruptors negatively affects the development of the immune system in offspring leading to later health defects. All of the above proves that understanding the linkage between the endocrine and...
Biochar-Based Nanocomposites for Contaminant Management
This book helps the readers get a holistic understanding of the emergence of biochar-nanocomposite research. The low and long-term exposure of persistent hazardous pollutants in environment is well known for damaging the water, soil, sediments, and living biota. Thus, it is a crucial step to eliminate these pollutants from environment regimes to prevent the on-site destruction or the transfer into the food chain. Biochar is a carbon-rich solid material generated through pyrolysis of biomass, and currently, it is covering the hotspot in environmental management of pollutants. It is being utilized for the efficient immobilization and sorption of organic pollutants, heavy metals, dyes, improvem...
Modernizing Enterprise IT Audit Governance and Management Practices
Information technology auditing examines an organization's IT infrastructure, applications, data use, and management policies, procedures, and operational processes against established standards or policies. Modernizing Enterprise IT Audit Governance and Management Practices provides a guide for internal auditors and students to understand the audit context and its place in the broader information security agenda. The book focuses on technology auditing capabilities, risk management, and technology assurance to strike a balance between theory and practice. This book covers modern assurance products and services for emerging technology environments, such as Dev-Ops, Cloud applications, Artifi...
Climate Change & Himalayan Ecosystem - Indicator, Bio & Water Resources
Data/Information is the essential requirement for planning and development. “Climate Change & Himalayan ecosystem-indicator, Bio & water resources” consists basic information and data on glaciers, climate change indicators & projections, water resources and biodiversity hot spots ofMountHimalaya. Studies on “Climate change and the recession pattern of the Glaciers in the Himalaya” of this book concludes that “Possibility of the rivers in theHimalayasdrying up as a consequence of rapid degeneration of the glaciers is not borne out by the past history”. In this book , study conducted in watershed ofCentral Himalaya, a Decision Support System (DSS) is introduced as interactive tool ...
Recent Advances in Thermochemical Conversion of Biomass
This book provides general information and data on one of the most promising renewable energy sources: biomass for its thermochemical conversion. During the last few years, there has been increasing focus on developing the processes and technologies for the conversion of biomass to liquid and gaseous fuels and chemicals, in particular to develop low-cost technologies. This book provides date-based scientific information on the most advanced and innovative processing of biomass as well as the process development elements on thermochemical processing of biomass for the production of biofuels and bio-products on (biomass-based biorefinery). The conversion of biomass to biofuels and other value-...
Proceedings of the International Conference on Computing and Communication Systems
This book contains the latest research work presented at the International Conference on Computing and Communication Systems (I3CS 2020) held at North-Eastern Hill University (NEHU), Shillong, India. The book presents original research results, new ideas and practical development experiences which concentrate on both theory and practices. It includes papers from all areas of information technology, computer science, electronics and communication engineering written by researchers, scientists, engineers and scholar students and experts from India and abroad.
Systematic and Functional Studies of RNA Modifications
The first half of this thesis describes the development of a ligation based assay which can be used for systematic detection of 2'-O-methyl modifications in ribosomal RNA and its subsequent application in studies related to effect of ribosome inhibiting drugs on rRNA modification in yeast. This detection method is based on the enzymatic ligation of oligonucleotides using the modified or unmodified RNA as the template. Multiple modification sites can be examined in the same ligation reaction making this a great tool for high throughput detection of RNA modifications.
