Studies considers emerging research on the role of migrants in
global business and discusses the challenges they face. The book
also examines various stories and examples of migrant business
professionals from around the world. Covering key topics such as
economics, global business, migrants, and small businesses, this
reference work is ideal for business owners, managers,
policymakers, researchers, scholars, academicians, practitioners,
educators, and students.

This volume covers a selection of important novel technological
interventions in dairy science, from the physical properties of
milk and other milk products to nonthermal processing of milk. It
also discusses safety methods in dairy science, which includes
cleaning-in-place and techniques to determine adulteration in milk.
Milk is a perishable commodity, and being rich in nutrients, it
acts as the perfect substrate for the growth of microflora
(sometimes dangerous for consumption). To reduce this, different
thermal and nonthermal techniques are used. Thermal treatments are
common techniques used for extending the shelf life of milk, such
as, for example, pasteurization, sterilization, and UHT, but loss
of nutrients is a concern associated with these treatments.
Nonthermal treatments like high-pressure processing, pulse electric
field, ultra-sonication, and irradiation are also explored in the
processing of milk to minimize the loss of nutrients as compared to
thermal treatment. Post-process contamination is also a major
factor that can affect the shelf life of milk, and safe packaging
plays an important role when the milk and milk products are stored
at refrigeration or ambient temperature. Many advances in these
dairy technologies are presented in this informative volume.
Technological Interventions in Dairy Science: Innovative Approaches
in Processing, Preservation, and Analysis of Milk Products will
prove valuable for industrial professionals, scientists, regulatory
personnel, consultants, academics, students and field-related
personnel. The book also attempts to bridge the gap between
research and industrial application of recent techniques.
Micro irrigation, also known as trickle, drip, localized, high
frequency, or pressurized irrigation, is an irrigation method that
saves water and fertilizer by allowing water to drip slowly to the
roots of plants, either onto the soil surface or directly onto the
root zone, through a network of valves, pipes, tubing, and
emitters. It is done through narrow tubes that deliver water
directly to the base of the plant. Clogging is a menace in the
success of drip irrigation systems, and the situation is more
complex under subsurface drip irrigation. Irrigation planners and
engineers have found a variety of innovative methods to help to
minimize clogging. This book emphasizes the implications of micro
irrigation clogging, especially under the subsurface placement of
laterals. The book offers remedies to decrease clogging and
methodologies to improve the performance of micro sprinklers. This
valuable resource addresses this critical problem, covering:
Challenges in clogging under subsurface drip irrigation Principles,
practices, and management of emitter clogging Efficiency of
acidification for unclogging of emitters Performance
characteristics of micro sprinklers The book will serve as a
reference manual for professionals in biological and civil
engineering, horticulture, soil and crop science, and agronomy, as
well as for graduate and undergraduate students in related fields.
It will be a valuable reference for professionals who work with
micro irrigation/wastewater and water management and for technical
agricultural centers, irrigation centers, agricultural extension
services, and other agencies that work with micro irrigation
programs.
The tenth and final volume in the series Research Advances in
Sustainable Micro Irrigation, this valuable book focuses on new and
recent innovations in technology, methods, and applications for
micro irrigation. The book covers a wide variety of topics,
including successes in micro irrigation in India, how new methods
have helped the local economies in several areas, ways to enhance
crop yield through new building programs, and new technology and
systems. It looks at different aspects of these new innovations in
micro irrigation, including economic impact, evaluation methods,
bubbler systems, success with particular crops, scheduling, and
more.
Microbes produce an extraordinary array of defense systems.
These include bacteriocins, a class of antimicrobial molecules with
narrow killing spectra, produced by bacteria. The book describes
the diversity and ecological role of bacteriocins of Gram-positive
and Gram-negative bacteria, presenting a new classification scheme
for the former and a state-of-the-art look at the role of
bacteriocins in bacterial communication. It discusses the molecular
evolution of colicins and colicin-like bacteriocins, and provides a
contemporary overview of archaeocins, bacteriocin-like
antimicrobials produced by archaebacteria. Furthermore, various
modeling (in silico) studies elucidate the role of bacteriocins in
microbial community dynamics and fitness, delving into
rock-paper-scissors competition and the counter-intuitive survival
of the weakest. The book makes compelling reading for a
multi-faceted scientific audience, including those working in the
fields of biodiversity and biotechnology, notably in the human and
animal health domain.
Expanding into emerging markets brings with it a specific set of
challenges for designing products and services. Not only do
cultural differences play a role in what, how, and why customers
behave the way they do, but existing technologies, distribution
channels, and the wants and needs of consumers become additional
challenges when establishing market shares in the developing world.
Innovative Solutions: What Designers Need to Know for Today's
Emerging Markets describes the landscape of these new markets and
discusses research and design methodologies tailored to them. Local
designers and researchers offer insight directly from the depths of
India, China, and other parts of the world. They take an in-depth
look at user research methods in underserved communities, new tools
such as ecosystems mapping to define the elements impacting
innovation and design decisions, and methodologies to develop
solution spaces based on the output from user research studies. The
book then presents real-life examples through case studies and
interviews. The case studies draw not only from the authors' work
with clients such as HP Labs, Nokia, Haier, Philips, Intel, and A
Piece of Pie, but also from user experience and the results of
innovation research across the globe. The interviews include
conversations with leaders in innovation such as Roopa
Purushothaman, Tapan Parikh, Ram Sehgal, Steve Portigal, Dmitry
Volkov, and Darelle van Greunen. A fascinating perspective of the
users and ecosystem in emerging nations, the book provides deeper
insights on how a user-centered innovation and design approach has
been applied in practical settings. Examining the challenges of
innovating and designing for emerging markets, it incorporates
research and practice to explore new ways of uncovering the riches
and opportunities in innovation and design for emerging markets.
