This book provides the reader with an understanding of what color
is, where color comes from, and how color can be used correctly in
many different applications. The authors first treat the physics of
light and its interaction with matter at the atomic level, so that
the origins of color can be appreciated. The intimate relationship
between energy levels, orbital states, and electromagnetic waves
helps to explain why diamonds shimmer, rubies are red, and the
feathers of the Blue Jay are blue. Then, color theory is explained
from its origin to the current state of the art, including image
capture and display as well as the practical use of color in
disciplines such as computer graphics, computer vision,
photography, and film.
Bacterial infections cause substantial morbidity and mortality in
cancer patients. These infections always remained enigmatic due to
initial reluctance of cancer researchers in understanding their
etiologic potential. Etiological association of bacteria with
cancer gained credibility after discovery of carcinogenic potential
of Helicobacter pylori. Moreover, other suspected associations
including Salmonella typhi and gallbladder cancer, Streptococcus
bovis and colon cancer, Chlamydia psittaci and ocular adnexal
lymphoma and Chlamydia pneumoniae with lung cancer, etc. are
looking for a legitimate appraisal to unravel their etiologic
potential without prejudice. In contrary, bacteria also show
protective role in certain types of cancer. Certain agents derived
from bacteria are successfully in practice for the management of
cancer. The integrate association of bacteria and cancer is evident
in both positive and negative aspects. The role of bacteria in
cancer etiology and treatment is vigorously studied since last few
years. Present book tries to provide current status of research
undergoing in above direction, with the glimpses of future
possibility for using microbiological knowledge in the management
of this deadly killer. This book will interest specialists dealing
with cancer associated infectious complications, researchers
working in the field of cancer biology, teachers and scientists in
the field of microbiology, biotechnology, medicine and oncology.
The unique coverage of bacteriology and cancer association in both
positive and negative way can usher into development of novel
thrust area for microbiology students and experts.

Paediatrics: a clinical handbook provides all the essential
information required for a successful paediatrics rotation. Written
by two recently qualified junior doctors and a consultant
paediatrician, the book offers an exam-centred, reader-friendly
style backed up with concise clinical guidance. Building on the
success of the other 'Clinical Handbook' titles (Rheumatology and
Psychiatry), Paediatrics: a clinical handbook provides
reader-friendly coverage of the subject in an attractive
full-colour design. To help the reader get to grips with the
subject quickly and easily, the book features a wide variety of
learning aids including mnemonics, numerous clinical photos, OSCE
tips, red flag boxes and rapid diagnosis boxes. Paediatrics: a
clinical handbook is ideal for medical students and junior doctors;
like the other books in the series it will also appeal to medics
who want a quick refresher of the subject. Self-assessment tests,
in the form of 20 Short Answer questions and 40 Single Best Answer
Questions, are available at: www.scionpublishing.com/Paediatrics
Combining ability analysis revealed importance of non-additive gene
action in the expression of various yield contributing
characters.The results indicated that the UPR 3406-7-2-2 (L5 ) and
UPR 3413-15-2-1 (L28 ) were the best general combiners among lines
as evident from significant GCA effects for ten characters. The
best heterotic hybrids, UPR 3434-6-2-1x UPRI 95167 (L32 x T1), UPRI
2008-5 x IR 58025A (L33x T2) and UPR 3528-8-1-2x UPRI 95167 (L36x
T1) in normal conditions expressing higher SCA effects and per se
performance, were also involved good/ good combining parents into
them. The crosses, L32 x T1, L33x T2 and L36x T1 involving
good/good combining parents were suggested to exploitation for
isolating high yielding pure lines and/or for straight use in
hybrid breeding. On the basis of spikelet fertility percent, indica
lines were grouped as maintainer, restorer and partial restorer /
maintainer lines. Among 50 indica lines only 3 lines (L31, L37 and
L42) behave like a maintainer with both of CMS lines (IR 58025A and
Pusa 6A),19 lines behave like a restorer with both of CMS (IR58025A
and Pusa 6A) lines and rest behave like partial restorer /
maintainer lines."
The dog amongst all the animals has proved to be the man's best
friend and faithful companion because of its fidelity, loyalty,
obedience and pleasant disposition. Dogs appeared on the earth
about 20 million years ago (Sharma et al., 1993). The dog's stomach
is a sac-like structure designed to store large volumes of food and
begin the digestive process. Once eaten, most food leaves the
stomach within twelve hours after entering. The esophagus carries
food to the stomach, where it enters via a valve-like structure
called the cardiac sphincter. On the interior surface of the
stomach is a series of folds called gastric folds. These folds
function to help grind and digest food. The inner stomach lining
secretes acids and enzymes to break food down as the initial step
in the digestive process. Once the initial stomach digestive
process is complete, the partially digested food exits the stomach
through the pyloric sphincter area and then enters the duodenum
(small intestine).
Water is a vital compound of life and water contamination is a
major cause of different diseases all over the world. This research
paper includes a brief introduction to water quality of areas of
district Kotli Azad Jammu and Kashmir. The aim of present study was
to check the physical, chemical and biological contamination in the
drinking water of Kotli. Mostly parameters (physico-chemical) were
according to WHO level, however total coliform and fecal coliform
differ significantly (P; 0.01) from WHO level. It showed
environmental burden is majorly generated due to mismanagement,
this assessment should throw some light on these causes of
contamination and help and prevent the living population from
diseases generated by water.
Over the course of her career, internationally renowned artist and
University of New Mexico alumna Meridel Rubenstein creates
photographic artworks that engage the natural world and investigate
humanity's place within nature. Eden Turned on Its Side looks at
ecological and human processes across time that either reinforce or
destroy the notion of "Eden." Focusing on poetic intersections of
nature and culture in relation to ecological and social imbalance,
the work consists of large-scale photographic images that tend
toward immersive installation, as is characteristic of much of
Rubenstein's art. It comprises three parts-Photosynthesis, Volcano
Cycle, and Eden in Iraq-which respectively explore ecologies on the
scales of human time, geological time, and mythical time. Eden
Turned on Its Side will accompany an exhibition of the same name,
organized by the University of New Mexico Art Museum and opening in
February 2018.
