This book examines the various issues and concerns faced by Indian
agriculture under the obligations of WTO and the Free Trade
Agreements. While the issues discussed pertain mainly to India, the
lessons can also be derived for many other similarly placed
developing countries. The book delves into various aspects of
Indian agricultural trade and evaluates the domestic policies and
regulations of government while also looking at external factors
like WTO, free trade agreements and non-tariff barriers. Chapters
of this book have been contributed by eminent agricultural
economists, lawyers and social scientists providing the perspective
from their sector. This book highlights the challenges and
opportunities for agriculture sector under the rapidly growing
regional trade agreements and results of negotiations under the
WTO. It also provides critical insights into the ongoing fisheries
subsidies negotiations at the WTO and issues relating to non-tariff
measures. The findings have broad implications for developing
countries in general and India in particular. This book will
greatly benefit trade negotiators, policymakers, civil society,
farmer groups, researchers, students, and academics interested in
issues related to the WTO, FTAs, tariff and non-tariff barriers and
other allied issues concerning Indian agriculture. The techniques
used in analytical part will mostly benefit the researchers as they
can not only use these techniques and methodologies for their
future research, but to also carry the research forward. The book
is useful for many educational institutes which teach international
trade, agricultural economics, and WTO and FTAs studies.

Sustainable Biorefining of Woody Biomass to Biofuels and
Biochemicals explores various technologies and pathways for the
valorization of woody biomass to produce sustainable biofuels and
bioproducts. Focusing on commercialization, the book discusses
woody biomass availability, including harvesting, transportation
and storage, biomass structure, advanced biorefinery technologies,
and the economic and environmental sustainability of woody
biomass-based biorefineries. Various technologies are described and
assessed from a commercial perspective and practical solutions to
the latest challenges are provided. The last section of the book is
dedicated to the commercialization aspects of biorefineries,
providing details about the techno-economic viability and
environmental impact of various biorefinery approaches.This book
provides readers with a unique and comprehensive reference that
will help students and researchers alike identify and overcome the
challenges involved in woody-biomass biorefining for biofuels and
biochemicals. It will also be of interest to researchers and
professionals involved more broadly in bioenergy and renewable
energy, and interdisciplinary teams working across biotechnology,
chemistry and chemical engineering, environmental science, and
plant sciences.

management, health and economy by providing broad information on
bioenergy production, management strategies, drug development,
nutraceuticals products and biobased economy using algae at the
commercial level. The book introduces researchers to key and
emerging innovations in the field of algal biology research and
will assist policymakers, environmentalists, scientists, students
and global thinkers in defining sustainable developmental goals for
the future. Accordingly, it is an extremely important read for
researchers and students in the environmental sciences, life

This book covers the theory, modeling, and implementation of
different RF energy harvesting systems. RF energy harvesting is the
best choice among the existing renewable energy sources, in terms
of availability, cost, size, and integration with other systems.
The device used for harvesting RF energy is called rectenna. A
rectenna can work at the microwave, millimeter-wave, and terahertz
waves. It also has the capability to operate at optical frequencies
to be used for 6G and beyond communication systems. This book
covers all aspects of wireless power transfer (WPT)/wireless energy
harvesting (WEH), basics, theoretical concepts, and advanced
developments occurring in the field of energy harvesting. It also
covers the design theory for different types of antenna, rectifier,
and impedance matching circuits used in RF energy harvesting
systems. Different future and present applications, such as
charging of vehicles, smart medical health care, self-driven
e-vehicles, self-sustainable home automation system, and wireless
drones, have also been discussed in detail.
This book presents how federated learning helps to understand and
learn from user activity in Internet of Things (IoT) applications
while protecting user privacy. The authors first show how federated
learning provides a unique way to build personalized models using
data without intruding on users' privacy. The authors then provide
a comprehensive survey of state-of-the-art research on federated
learning, giving the reader a general overview of the field. The
book also investigates how a personalized federated learning
framework is needed in cloud-edge architecture as well as in
wireless-edge architecture for intelligent IoT applications. To
cope with the heterogeneity issues in IoT environments, the book
investigates emerging personalized federated learning methods that
are able to mitigate the negative effects caused by heterogeneities
in different aspects. The book provides case studies of IoT based
human activity recognition to demonstrate the effectiveness of
personalized federated learning for intelligent IoT applications,
as well as multiple controller design and system analysis tools
including model predictive control, linear matrix inequalities,
optimal control, etc. This unique and complete co-design framework
will benefit researchers, graduate students and engineers in the
fields of control theory and engineering.
