Agriculture is strongly affected by changes in soil hydrology as well as by changes in land use and management practices and the complex interactions between them. This book aims to expand our knowledge and understanding of these interactions on a watershed scale, using soil hydrology models, and to address the consequences of land use and management changes on agriculture from a research perspective. Case studies illustrate the impact of land use and management practices on various soil hydrological parameters under different climates and ecosystems.

Selected as a Doody's Core Title for 2022! Part of the best-selling Operative Techniques series, Operative Techniques in Plastic Surgery provides superbly illustrated, authoritative guidance on operative techniques along with a thorough understanding of how to select the best procedure, how to avoid complications and what outcomes to expect. This stand-alone book offers focused, easy-to-follow coverage of flaps for all anatomic regions, taken directly from the larger text. It covers nearly all flap techniques that are in current use, and is ideal for residents and physicians in daily practice. Comprehensively covers craniofacial and frontal sinus flaps; head and neck flaps; flaps for breast reconstruction; trunk reconstruction and body contouring flaps; flaps in hand surgery; flaps used in lower limb reconstruction and amputation; and flaps used in pediatric facial reanimation. Succinct text, bulleted points, and quick-reference tables allow you to review information quickly and understand best practices and potential problems for each procedure. Hundreds of full-color intraoperative photographs and illustrations, as well as numerous high-quality videos, capture procedures step by step and help you immediately apply your knowledge. Each clinical problem is discussed in the same templated format: definition, anatomy, patient history and physical findings, imaging, differential diagnosis, nonoperative management where applicable, surgical management including preoperative planning and approach, step-by-step surgical techniques, pearls and pitfalls, postoperative care, outcomes, complications and references. Perfect for a quick preoperative review of the steps of a procedure.

This book describes the design and development of an instrument called the Solar Vector Magnetograph or SVM. This instrument maps the magnetic field of the solar active regions. The magnetic field of solar active regions is responsible for the eruptive phenomena on the sun which expel large amounts of high-energy particles and radiation in the interplanetary space posing danger for human activities in space. The careful measurement of solar magnetic field is very important to track its evolution which may be useful for forecasting the solar eruptive events. The instrument SVM was developed by Dr. Sanjay Gosain during his Ph.D. at Udaipur Solar Observatory, India for which he received best thesis award by Astronomical Society of India. This book describes how the high-cadence magnetic field measurements can be done by using a tunable Fabry-Perot etalon and a polarimeter. This book is useful for any solar astronomer who wishes to develop an instrument for measuring solar magnetic fields or wishes to understand how solar magnetic field is measured using Zeeman-effect diagnostics. The techniques of optical polarimetry is also discussed in depth.

The book presents a watershed based sustainable livelihoods framework which analyses the livelihoods of watershed community, evaluates watershed interventions and establishes linkages between livelihoods and hydrological components. A methodology is proposed for quantification of the socio-economic aspects, which is found effective in measuring the impacts of watershed program on local community. The SWAT hydrological model with ArcView GIS interface has been used to simulate various watershed interventions for water and sediment yields. Statistical analysis like factor and regression modelling is used to establish linkages between livelihoods and hydrological components. The GIS has played an important role in database creation, data processing and analysis. The methodology is employed on three watersheds namely Dudhi micro-watershed, Bewas micro-watershed and Dudhi milli-watershed which fall in Raisen district of Madhya Pradesh State in India. The students and practitioners in the area of water resources, hydrology, environment, agriculture, irrigation, rural management and developmental studies will find this book interesting for their academic curricula and research projects.
