Exploring plant genetic resources is crucial in a time when food
security has been a critical topic worldwide due to crop shortages
and the impact of climate change. This new book, Plant Genetic
Resources for the 21st Century: The OMICS Era, presents the
practical advancements in genomics, epigenetics, metabolomics, and
phenomics from the point of view of researchers and scientists
working in the field of genebanks, genetics resources, and
germplasm for enabling plant breeding and adaptation to a changing
climate. The book highlights the importance of genebanks as centers
of innovation for crop and forage improvement and discusses
database solutions for genebanks and germplasm collections. The
book first looks at plant genetic resources and their values and
goes on to investigate several genomic technologies for plant
improvement, conservation, and better adaptation to changing
climates. Major crops such as wheat and barley are discussed with
genomic approaches for diversity and resilience to drought and
other adverse conditions. Other omics techniques discussed include
phenomics for the improvement of crop adaptation, metabolomics
research for germplasm improvement and adaptation, and more. This
volume will be valuable for researchers who are presently working
in or with genebanks and genetic resources, primarily for trait or
allele discovery and germplasm improvement. Most chapters in the
book can also be used as teaching material at the undergraduate and
postgraduate levels.
Take a look at a burger, peer at a pizza and sniff at your
sandwich. Do you what know what's inside? Do you know what your
food is made of and where it comes from? Let's deconstruct dishes,
break them down and slice them up to find out what they're made of
and if they're good for us!
We all do it... Use the big, white telephone. Drop anchor. A number
two. The Big Plop. But instead of flushing it out of sight and out
of mind, you should be proud of your brown masterpiece because it
has the power to create a bright new future. That's right - your
poo can help save the world! Discover how people have used dung all
through history, what happens to poo after you've flushed it away,
and how it contributes to global warming. Explore how we can use
poo to power our cars, homes and even rockets, and how scientists
are using other ingenious sources of renewable energy. Featuring
plenty of fun, 'yuck' poo facts and engaging illustrations, this
book brings hope that cutting-edge scientific research into
biofuels and sustainable technology could be the breath of fresh
air we need to save us from climate disaster.

Science is a serious business. Important scientific people in
important white coats doing important things, answering important,
serious questions. ...Right? WRONG! Sometimes, you just need to
know what animal poops cubes, how to run across a swimming pool
filled with custard or how loud the world's loudest burp is. And
when your questions are silly, you don't need a serious scientist.
You need... SILLY SCIENCE! Let's get silly!
Science topics are explored through illustrated scenes showing
science in action in everyday life. Explore scenes from everyday
life that reveal the science that's happening all around you, then
find out about the science in more detail. In this book, discover a
world of forces and magnets - their properties, friction,
resistance, gravity and magnets around the house. Fun interactive
features invite you to find further examples for yourselves in the
artwork. Part of the I See Science series, aimed at readers upwards
of age five, which includes titles on Living Things, Materials,
Light, Forces and Magnets, States of Matter and Sound.

failed-marketing strategies that have been implemented by renowned
and emerging firms and nonprofit organizations in reaction to the
unprecedented market situation caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Using case studies, the chapters identify the elements that were
critical for strengthening a product or company's brand value,
consumer satisfaction, and loyalty during this time of crisis and
uncertainty. The information and experiences shared here show how
organizations learned to be resilient and reacted to challenging
market situations using creativity and innovation to present
consumers with prompt solutions to cover their most basic needs.

troubles during periods of crisis.
The volume provides a wealth of up-to-date information on
developments and applications of deep learning in healthcare and
medicine, providing deep insight and understanding of novel
applications that address the tough questions of disease diagnosis,
prevention, and immunization. The volume looks at applications of
deep learning for major medical challenges such as cancer detection
and identification, birth asphyxia among neonates, kidney
abnormalities, white blood cell segmentation, diabetic retinopathy
detection, and Covid-19 diagnosis, prevention, and immunization.
The volume discusses applications of deep learning in detection,
diagnosis, intensive examination and evaluation, genomic
sequencing, convolutional neural networks for image recognition and
processing, and more for health issues such as kidney problems,
brain tumors, lung damage, and breast cancer. The authors look at
ML for brain tumor segmentation, in lung CT scans, in digital X-ray
devices, and for logistic and transport systems for effective
delivery of healthcare.
