Bioaerosols Emission from Anthropogenic Sources: Influencing
Factors, Microbial Diversity, Epidemiological Threats, and Control
Approaches covers various sources of biohazards and their
associated risk factors. These air contaminants are developing
concerns to people and the environment and must be addressed to
avert future dangers. As little is known about their precise
sources, controlling variables, microbial diversity, the
involvement of co-pollutants, and dispersion and control methods,

government officials, and policymakers in developing successful
strategies for ensuring society's safety.
This book analyzes the evolution and impact of the concept of risk
on processes of transnational banking and financial market
regulation, as well as the externalities generated by speculative
financial activity in developing and emerging market economies. The
author provides an alternative theory for the study of
international financial market regulation by applying elements of a
post-structural methodology to the topic. Inspired by Michel
Foucault's framework of critical discourse analysis in The History
of Sexuality, the argument dissects the rules of formation that
govern the evolving discourse on risk. The author argues that the
mathematically formal technology of risk emerges from within
specific institutions and economic formations; thereby limiting its
utility in the regulation of global financial markets. Exploring
how the applied technology of risk has been implicated for fueling
a major financial crisis, his work also demonstrates how the
regulation of global financial markets and abstruse financial
instruments in advanced industrialized countries impacts the lives
of the poorest people in developing countries and emerging markets.
This new book discusses the physiological factors that contribute
to metabolic syndrome within the human body and spotlights the
beneficial effects on the body of nutraceuticals and functional
ingredients, botanicals and natural dietary supplements,
structurally numerous antioxidants, B-vitamins, and diverse amino
acids and vital nutrients. The book considers the need to preserve
a balance between energy delivery and strength expenditure that is
essential for maintaining an appropriate body mass index (BMI),
which can contribute to less obesity and fewer metabolic disorders,
such as diabetes type II, cardiovascular illnesses, etc. The
authors present recent research that proves that proper
vitamins—including antioxidants, nutrients, micronutrients, and
selected amino acids—can enhance the body’s metabolism and
defend it from inflammatory onslaughts.

Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI) came to existence as an
approach for solving complex learning, planning, and
decision-making problems. When we talk about decision making, there
may be some meta-heuristic methods where the problem solving may
resemble like operation research. But exactly, it is not related
completely to management research. The text examines representing
and using organizational knowledge in DAI systems, dynamics of
computational ecosystems, and communication-free interactions among
rational agents. This publication takes a look at
conflict-resolution strategies for nonhierarchical distributed
agents, constraint-directed negotiation of resource allocations,
and plans for multiple agents. Topics included plan verification,
generation, and execution, negotiation operators, representation,
network management problem, and conflict-resolution paradigms. The
manuscript elaborates on negotiating task decomposition and
allocation using partial global planning and mechanisms for
assessing nonlocal impact of local decisions in distributed
planning. The book will attract researchers and practitioners who
are working in management and computer science, and industry
persons in need of a beginner to advanced understanding of the
basic and advanced concepts.
Global food losses are a result of a lack of necessary
infrastructure, improper food safety handling procedures, and
insufficient training for the personnel working in the cold chain.
The development of a resource-efficient and energy-smart food
supply chain requires a well-integrated evaluation and development
of the cold chain. Cold Chain Management for the Fresh Produce
Industry in the Developing World provides a comprehensive review of
the benefits of an unbroken cold chain in developing countries and
focuses on the critical role of extension education in the
implementation of cold chain management. The unbroken cold chain is
essential for all stakeholders in the fresh produce industry to
maintain the quality and safety of food products during handling,
transporting, and storing in their journey from producer to
consumer. Appropriate cold chain management is crucial not only to
reduce the postharvest losses and wastages, but also to increase
farmers' income, generate employment opportunities, and improve the
livelihood of stakeholders along the supply chain. Key Features:

This volume analyzes the trial of Bahadur Shah, a watershed moment
in the 19th-century colonial history of India. The trial of Bahadur
Shah raises the contentious issue of sovereignty - trial of Emperor
Bahadur Shah, de jure power by de facto claimant to power, the
English East India Company. There has been a lot of confusion and
controversy over the trial ever since the proceedings began - its
main architects could not define if it really was a juristic trial,
a court of enquiry, a court-martial, or a general enquiry? This
book sheds light on this event through the original, unprinted
manuscript of the Trial at the end of the uprising of the 1857. It
critically investigates the trial, mainly its architecture,
grammar, functioning, and findings from historical, political, and
juridical perspectives to determine, as far as possible, the actual
position of Emperor Bahadur Shah, his strengths, and his
weaknesses. Further, it examines the Rebellion of 1857,
particularly in Delhi, and Bahadur Shah's role therein. A key
reading on justice in colonial history, this volume will be of
interest to researchers and scholars of colonial and imperial
history, modern history, political theory, and South Asia studies.
It will also be of great interest to general readers interested in
learning about the colonization of India by the British and its
commercial arm East India Company.

The extreme microbiomes are those microorganisms thriving under
extreme conditions where no other living being will have any chance
to survive. The extreme habitats are those presenting high
temperatures (thermophiles), low temperature (psychrophiles),
hypersaline environments (halophiles), low and high pH
(Acidophiles/alkaliphiles), high pressure (Piezophiles) are
distributed worldwide. The extreme habitats have proved to offer a
unique reservoir of genetic diversity and biological source of
extremophiles. The extremophilic microbial diversity and their
biotechnological potential use in agricultural and industrial
applications will be a milestone for future needs. Extremophiles
and their cell components, therefore, are expected to play an
important role in the chemical, food, pharmaceutical, paper and
textile industries as well as environmental biotechnology.
