The Fifth International Meeting on Cholinesterases convened in
Madras, India, in September of 1994. The long and rich history and
culture of India provided an excellent setting for the meeting.
More than 120 delegates from Asia, Australia, Europe and North
America heard 54 oral presentations and viewed 54 posters on
current research on enzymes of the cholinesterase family. The aim
of this book is to compile the presentations of the Fifth
International Meeting on Cholinesterases into a volume that
describes recent investigations on the structure and catalytic
function of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase
(BuChE) and related enzymes, as well as studies on the molecular
and cellular biology of these enzymes and the genes which encode
them. Cholinesterases enjoy a long and storied history in diverse
areas. In basic biochemical research, AChE is one of the best
studied, though yet enigmatic, of enzymes. The efficient catalytic
function of this enzyme presents the biochemist with a fundamental
challenge in understanding the relationship between structure and
function. AChE and BuChE belong to a family of proteins, the alB
hydrolase fold family, whose constituents evolutionarily diverged
from a common ancestor. Proteins in this family have a wide range
of physiological functions. In commerce, AChE is a prime target for
agricultural insect control, and for the development of therapeutic
agents for Alzheimer's disease.

This book was framed to reduce the accumulation of CO2
concentration in the earth by means of different Carbon Capture and
Storage technologies (CCS). CCS involves the capturing of CO2 from
large point sources to a storage site. The major and prominently
used technologies for CCS systems are Geological Storage, Ocean
Storage, Mineral Carbonation and Industrial Use of CO2. Basically
ocean takes up atmospheric CO2 on an enormous scale approximately 7
billion metric tons of CO2 per year absorbing it at the surface and
transferring it to the deep waters, out of contact with the
atmosphere for centuries. So, compared to the carbon reservoirs on
land and in the atmosphere, the oceans have an enormous and
under-utilised potential to sequester anthropogenic CO2 by possible
methodologies likes Geological Formations under the Seabed, On the
Seafloor and Water Column of the Deep Ocean. Before going for ocean
storage technology the steps to be taken for consideration is
biological consequences, government interventions, public
acceptance and climate change.
Groundwater studies touch all realms of the hydrologic
cycle.Sustainable management of this precious natural resource is
possible only when there is a complete understanding of all the
processes responsible for its storage in different aquifers as well
as its movement from place to place.So it will require the
knowledge about soils, geology, and structural features associated
with the groundwater reservoirs.This book is the result of such an
integrated study of groundwater in a tropical river basin in South
India. The water level variations and groundwater chemistry is
explained here in some detail for identifying the discharge and
recharge ares in the basin and also to find the suitability of
water for various uses.The geologic controls of water chemistry and
its spatial variation throughout the basin is also illustrated with
the help of statistical as well as GIS tools.A separate chapter on
modeling is a highlight of this work.This will definitely benefit
hydrogeologists, postgraduates and researchers in geology,
geography students interested in morphometric analysis of river
basins and also professionals in various fields of geoinformatics.
MLIR systems can facilitate the researchers and the end users to
discover appropriate information in the preferred language. Due to
the versatile applicability of MLIR systems, these systems require
careful and thorough evaluations to demonstrate their desired
performance. Therefore, the work reported in this book describes
the greater efforts that are taken to develop a set of Metrics
under Binary Retrieval and Ranked Relevance scheme for Evaluating
the Performance of MLIR Systems. An Empirical and Statistical
analysis is done to validate the proposed metrics under specified
scheme of IR systems.
The aim of this book is to develop a Multi-Level security model for
web service computing environments. This book describes about an
Hardware Level Authentication scheme of web service consumers for
secure communication with the service providers and History based
Accounting and Reacting Denial of Service attack (DoS) model to
detect and prevent possible DoS attacks in web service computing.
The main objectives of this book are to provide built in
authentication for web service consumers. It also minimizes the
security constraints and challenges in any close group web service
communication. This book has engaged the E-learning framework as a
test bed to carry out the experiments in support of the proposed
idea and its goals. The E-learning framework provides all the
possible aspects of web service computing to perform the
experimentation of this book. The experimental results in this book
reveal the performance and accuracy of the Two Tier Security
Framework for SOS.
