The heavy metal Chromium has several oxidation states but it occurs
predominantly in two forms: trivalent (Cr3]) and hexavalent (Cr6+)
states. Unlike trivalent chromium, the hexavalent form rarely
exists naturally being originated by anthropogenic sources.
Hexavalent chromium (Cr (VI)) is very often an issue in ecotoxicity
studies for two main reasons: (i) due to its importance as a
pollutant that threats especially aquatic ecosystems and (ii) due
to its value as a reference toxicant in standard toxicity tests. Cr
(VI) is used in industry (wood preservation, leather tanning, metal
finishing, pigments, refractory, etc., Very often wastes from such
industries are used as a fill material at numerous locations where
Cr (VI) easily reaches groundwater by leaching and seepage from the
soils. The tanning industry especially contributes to chromium
aquatic pollution, being estimated that in India alone about 2000
to 3200 tone of elemental chromium escape into the environment
annually. Generally these works show that Cr (VI) acts as a strong
oxidizing agent.
A book on agriculture microbiology should include a study of the
occurrence of microorganisms in the soil, their activities and
their role in soil processes. It is this last phase which has been
studied least and where the information available is far from
satisfactory in explaining what is taking place in the soil. This
is due largely to the limitations of the subject which depends for
its advance on botany, zoology, bacteriology, chemistry, including
biological and physical, and especially upon the advance of our
understanding of the physical and chemical conditions of the soil.
There are various kinds of audiences to which a book on soil
micro-biology may appeal. There is the scientific farmer who may
search for a better understanding of the processes taking place in
the soil, those processes which control the growth of his crops and
indirectly influence the growth of his animals. There is the
agronomist, who is interested in the fundamental reactions
controlling soil fertility.This book will be useful not only for
students, teachers, and researchers but also for those interested
in agriculture microbiology, plant pathology, ecology,
environmental science, and agronomy.
Today, organizational stress is fetching as a matter of concern to
the top management in every organization. Industries, especially
financial institutions across the world has witnessed rapid and
striking changes at organizational level, that is attributable to
economic crisis, globalization, liberalization, increased
competition, downsizing, introduction of new technologies, mergers
and acquisition etc. Resultant manifestations of these changes are
precipitated in the form of acute job stress to both employers as
well as employees. Stress affects the human potential in the
organization, leads to reduced quality, productivity, health as
well as well-being and morale. Even though several studies have
been conducted on medical side of stress, there are only a few
readings at psycho social level, as far as the banking sector is
concerned. This research based book will provide you best of
knowledge on occupational stress and coping strategies of employees
in banking sector. The objective of this book is to draw attention
from the top level decision makers of banking institutions on
effective stress management programs.

Diseases have a history, and understanding that history helps us
understand how best to treat and control disease today. Today's
students are confronted with a panoply of often-frightening
illnesses and afflictions - the Biography of Diseases series
provides students with the information that they need to understand
the origin of various maladies, how they impact contemporary
society, and how doctors and diseases researchers from around the
world are fighting to devise treatments to alleviate or cure these.
This volume, Rabies, examines that disease that caused fear and
panic for centuries because of the horror of dying of rabies and
the near certainty of death once one has contracted the disease.
And despite the famous vaccine discovered by Louis Pasteur in the
19th centuries, thousands still die of rabies every year in
developing countries. Rabies addresses all aspects of this
horrifying disease: BLThe history and epidemiology of rabies, and
the rabies epidemic among wild animals in the use. BLHow rabies is
diagnosed, and the frightening symptoms of hydrophobia and
aerophobia. BLHow one get rabies, mostly from bats and wild
animals. BLThe treatment of rabies -- there's basically none, with
few people who have ever survived once symptoms appear. BLResearch
and prevention of rabies. The volume includes a glossary of terms
and a bibliography of useful sources for learning more about the
disease.
