This book volume sheds light on the health benefits of selected
cereal grains, processing technologies of cereals, specific roles
of bioactive compounds of cereals in chronic disease prevention,
and traditional and latest technologies to improve the functional
benefits of cereal-based products. It presents a thorough review of
the functional components of some lesser known or forgotten cereals
and their role in maintaining good health. With advancements in
cereal science and technology, new methods of processing have
emerged that help to preserve or even enhance the
health-benefitting properties of cereal grains. Further, plant
breeding and biotechnology have contributed greatly in improving
nutritional quality and functionality of these grains. This book
provides comprehensive information on the simple as well as
advanced methodologies for enhancing the properties of cereals that
benefit human health. Some new approaches such as bio-fortification
and extraction of bioactives from cereals are also included in the
text.

You might feel that this fight is too big for you. How on earth can
you dismantle so many complex, long-standing systems of oppression?
My answer: piece by piece. Brown Girl Like Me is an inspiring
memoir and empowering manifesto that equips women with the
confidence and tools they need to navigate the difficulties that
come with an intersectional identity. Jaspreet Kaur unpacks key
issues such as the media, the workplace, the home, education,
mental health, culture, confidence and the body, to help South
Asian women understand and tackle the issues that affect them, and
help them be in the driving seat of their own lives. Jaspreet pulls
no punches, tackling difficult topics from mental health and
menstruation stigma to education and beauty standards, from
feminism to cultural appropriation and microaggressions. She also
addresses complex issues, such as how to manage being a brown
feminist without rejecting your own culture, and why Asian girls -
the second highest performing group of students in the country -
aren't seen in larger numbers in universities and head offices.
Interviews with brilliant South Asian Women of all walks of life as
well as academic insight show what life is really like for brown
women in the diaspora. Part toolkit, part call-to-arms, Brown Girl
Like Me is essential reading for South Asian women as well as
people with an interest in feminism and cultural issues, and will
educate, inspire and spark urgent conversations for change.

Leishmaniasis is a major public health problem throughout much of
the tropical and subtropical world. To date there is no vaccine
against Leishmania and chemotherapy is the main weapon in our
arsenal. There is an urgent need to identify novel chemotherapeutic
targets and better drugs against Leishmania. In our search for
effective antileishmanial lead molecules we have replaced empirical
screening with rational drug design. Identifying suitable potential
drug targets is essential for effective drug development.
Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) (Noctuidae: Lepidoptera) is a major
threat to intensive agriculture (Sigsgaard et al 2002). Its wide
dissemination and pest status has been attributed to its polyphagy,
and its ability to undergo both facultative diapause and seasonal
migration (Fitt, 1989). Worldwide the annual control costs and
production losses due to H. armigera amount to US $ 5 billion
(Anonymous 2005b) while in India damage worth US $ 1 billion has
been estimated (Subramanian and Mohankumar, 2006). This species is
a key pest of Berseem seed crop in Punjab since 1940s. (Dhaliwal
and Sidhu 1990). Severe infestation by H. armigera reduced seed
yield by 70-80 per cent in the Amritsar district during 1969 (Singh
et al 1973). Information on the population build up and development
of H. armigera on these fodder legumes is scanty in literature and,
thus, the present studies on H. armigera have been planned to study
the population build up, comparative development and survival and
food consumption of H. armigera on selected genotypes of Berseem,
Lucerne and Shaftal.
One of the most versatile routes to the cyclic structures of many
different sizes is through an important class of synthetic
reactions called cycloadditions. In the book the detailed study and
synthesis of (3+2) cycloaddition reactions of various azomethine
N-oxides, (3+2), (5+2) cycloaddition reactions of various nitrile
oxides, (2+2) cycloaddition reactions of various azomethines
through Reformatsky reaction have been carried out. These reactions
lead to variety of variously substituted heterocycles like
isoxazole -4, 6-diones, oxazepin 1, 3-diones, isoxazoline-4, 6
-diones, azetidinones and also diaryl-N- -cyano amines. These have
been identified by various characterization techniques like
infrared, proton magnetic resonance spectra, mass spectra and
elemental analysis."
A number of experimental methods had been developed till date to
evaluate and study the periodic properties. To study these periodic
properties theoretically we have developed a new linear approach. A
mathematical periodic function has been developed to calculate
atomic radii (covalent and vander Waal) of any element by knowing
just its atomic number. This function consists of a common equation
along with additional terms (correction factor) for different
blocks (s, p, d and f) of periodic table. This function has been
derived mathematically by relating different factors in form of
correction factors which affect the atomic radii using graphs. It
takes into accounts the chemical behaviour of all the elements in
their respective groups and periods.
