Economic Botany and Ethnobotany is identified with the investigation of how individuals around the world, and of a specific culture and locale utilize indigenous and exotic plants. Botanists investigate how plants are utilized for such things as food, cover, medication, dress, chasing and strict functions. This aspect has its roots in botany, the study of plants. Botany, in turn, originated in part from an interest in finding plants to help fight illness. Thinking about the effect of plant use since forever in the human social structures of financial aspects, legislative issues, religion, and science, this book contributes incomprehensibly to our comprehension of mankind's history and the pr...
This book discusses the unique nature and complexity of fog data analytics (FDA) and develops a comprehensive taxonomy abstracted into a process model. The exponential increase in sensors and smart gadgets (collectively referred as smart devices or Internet of things (IoT) devices) has generated significant amount of heterogeneous and multimodal data, known as big data. To deal with this big data, we require efficient and effective solutions, such as data mining, data analytics and reduction to be deployed at the edge of fog devices on a cloud. Current research and development efforts generally focus on big data analytics and overlook the difficulty of facilitating fog data analytics (FDA). This book presents a model that addresses various research challenges, such as accessibility, scalability, fog nodes communication, nodal collaboration, heterogeneity, reliability, and quality of service (QoS) requirements, and includes case studies demonstrating its implementation. Focusing on FDA in IoT and requirements related to Industry 4.0, it also covers all aspects required to manage the complexity of FDA for IoT applications and also develops a comprehensive taxonomy.
The Second International Conference on Applied Data Science and Smart Systems (ADSSS-2023) was held on 15-16 December 2023 at Chitkara University, Punjab, India. This multidisciplinary conference focussed on innovation and progressive practices in science, technology, and management. The conference successfully brought together researchers, academicians, and practitioners across different domains such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, software engineering, automation, data science, business computing, data communication and computer networks. The presenters shared their most recent research works that are critical to contemporary business and societal landscape and encouraged the participants to devise solutions for real-world challenges.

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) give the UN a road-map for development, with Agenda 2030 as the target. It was built on the previously established Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). This book examines the supporting technologies needed to achieve SDG 2: reducing hunger and creating a better society. This much-needed book, the first of its type to offer a specific focus on the relationship between technology and SDG 2, will be valuable for academics working in the subject of global sustainable development. This book will also be useful for international organisations and representatives, who will be able to share knowledge on technological views to minimise hunger rates.
"Water harvesting is a critical issue in India given the existing scarcity and water quality problems experienced practically all over the country. The pattern of endowment of water resources and the long term predictions of deficits on per capita availability in different rainfall zones point to the need to create new resources. The current publication by a well known expert in the field, is the first comprehensive treatise on the subject of water harvesting. It deals with traditional practices of rain and surface water harvesting as well as more recent ones like check dams. It describes in detail, the methods of analysis of hydrological data that are useful in designing these structures. T...
The Routledge Handbook of Cultural Landscape Heritage in the Asia-Pacific revisits the use, growth, and potential of the cultural landscape methodology in the conservation and management of culture-nature heritage in the Asia-Pacific region. Taking both a retrospective and prospective view of the management of cultural heritage in the region, this volume argues that the plurality and complexity of heritage in the region cannot be comprehensively understood and effectively managed without a broader conceptual framework like the cultural landscape approach. The book also demonstrates that such an approach facilitates the development of a flexible strategy for heritage conservation. Acknowledgi...
"Comparing business regulations for domestic frims in 185 economies."
Provides A Comprehensive Picture On The Distribution Of 418 Tribal Communities All Over India. Gives A Brief Account Of Major Tribes Highlighting Their Major Concentration,
The overall organization is user friendly. There is strict adherence to the listing of each and every division of each country, even when no statistics were given. Reference (always clearly listed in the tables) follow each topic/chapter. That arrangement certainly facilitates bibliographic searching. This volume appears to be a comprehensive compilation of studies done (some unpublished) through a portion, of 1991. In general, the authors must be commended for their successful efforts in producing such an error free compilation. Most importantly, any compilation such as this must be judged primarily on the grounds of how applicable it will be for researchers and teachers in human biology. Can this volume serve in that capacity? For Human Biologists there would be few times when Bhasin et al. volume is needed, but it would be appreciated on those occasions. For some, those occasions are strung together closely enough to warrant a prompt purchase of the volume.
