the processes, mutagenic effectiveness, and efficiency and
mechanisms of mutagenesis and covers the principles, applications,
and scope of mutagenesis as well. Several chapters focus on
mutation-induced cytological aberrations and cytotoxicity. There is
also emphasis on improvement of agronomic characteristics by
manipulating the genotype of plant species, resulting in increase
in productivity. Volume 2: Revolutionizing Plant Biology presents
the use of mutagenesis and biotechnology to explore the variability
of mutant genes for crop improvement. In this volume, the chapters
deal with in-vitro mutagenesis to exploit the somaclonal variations
induced in cell culture. The chapters highlight the importance of
in-vitro mutagenesis in inducing salt resistance, heat resistance,
and draught resistance. Volume 3: Mechanisms for Genetic
Manipulation of Plants covers the different genetic engineering
techniques that are used to mutant genes and to incorporate them in
different plant species of cereals, pulses, vegetables, and fruits.
Chapters also address in-vitro mutagenesis, which allows specific
mutations to be tailored for type and position within the gene.

Triple bill of zombie films. 'Zombie Apocalypse' (2011) is a
made-for-TV horror starring Ving Rhames in which a group of human
survivors of a zombie outbreak set out to make it to an uninfected
island. Ramona (Taryn Manning), Billy (Eddie Steeples) and Kevin
(Gerald Webb) are almost killed when they head out to search for
food. Fortunately for them, they meet a tough group that includes
Henry (Rhames) and Cassie (Lesley-Ann Brandt), who take on the
zombies with weapons as diverse as a sledgehammer and a samurai
sword. 'Abraham Lincoln Vs Zombies' (2012) is a tongue-in-cheek
zombie horror in which Abraham Lincoln is distracted from his
composition of the Gettysburg Address by a more pressing concern -
an outbreak of the undead. Lincoln (Bill Oberst Jr.) leads a team
of Secret Service agents to the area to try and contain the
disaster. There is a suggestion that Lincoln may have some
experience of dealing with zombies from his past and he takes under
his wing a youngster by the name of Teddy Roosevelt (Canon
Kuipers), who may have a role of his own to play in the American
story. 'The Dead' (2010) is a zombie horror set in West Africa.
Robert Freeman stars as Lieutenant Brian Murphy, a military
engineer who finds himself stranded in the wilderness of Burkina
Faso after a zombie outbreak lays waste to civilisation. Eventually
he teams up with Sergeant Daniel Dembele (Prince David Oseia), a
local soldier who has gone AWOL from the army to search for his
missing son.

Handbook of Thermoset-Based Biocomposites is a three-volume set
that provides a comprehensive review on the recent developments,
characterization, and applications of natural fiber-reinforced
biocomposites. An in-depth look at hybrid composites, nanofillers,
and natural fiber reinforcement is divided into three books on
polyester, vinyl ester, and epoxy composites. The volumes explore
the widespread applications of natural fiber-reinforced polyester,
vinyl ester, and epoxy composites ranging from the aerospace
sector, automotive parts, construction and building materials,
sports equipment, and household appliances. Investigating the
physio-chemical, mechanical, and thermal properties of these
composites, the volumes also consider the influence of
hybridization, fibre architecture, and fibre-ply orientation. This
three-volume set serves as a useful reference for researchers,
graduate students, and engineers in the field of composites.
Judaism, Christianity and Islam all impose obligations and
constraints upon the rightful use of wealth and earthly resources.
All three of these religions have well-researched views on the
acceptability of practices such as usury but the principles and
practices of other, non-interest, financial instruments are less
well known. This book examines each of these three major world
faiths, considering their teachings, social precepts and economic
frameworks, which are set out as a guide for the financial dealings
and economic behaviour for their adherents. Religion and Finance
explores the histories, denominational compositions and fundamental
beliefs of each of the three religions and examines a host of key
issues surrounding their relationship to finance. Consideration is
given to the development of the generally disfavoured practices
such as usury, and the various instruments of sales-based debt,
partnerships and equity-based financial practices allowed by these
religions are examined, alongside a discussion of their
socio-economic teachings and traditions. This well-written,
well-constructed, analysis of the financial thought of Judaism,
Christianity and Islam, with its insightful analysis of key
financial instruments and economic practices, will be an invaluable
book for anyone who is interested in, or studying, the three major
Abrahamic religions and their financial practices and philosophies.

This 4-volume set focuses on the use of microbial bioremediation
and phytoremediation to clean up pollutants in soil, such as
pesticides, petroleum hydrocarbons, metals, and chlorinated
solvents, which reduce the soil's fertility and renders it unfit
for plant growth. The volumes cover the many diverse eco-friendly
microbial bioremediation and phytoremediation techniques for
sustainable soil management. Bioremediation and Phytoremediation
Technologies in Sustainable Soil Management: Volume 1: Fundamental
Aspects and Contaminated Sites begins with an overview of
phytoremediation and phytotechnologies and the role of
environmental factors. It goes on to introduce soil assessment
techniques and offers methods of remediation designed to combat
soil and agricultural degradation. Attention is given to specific
types of sites and soil pollution, such as soils contaminated by
heavy metals; microbial and phytoremediation-based removal of
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from coal, crude oil, and
gasoline; microbial bioremediation and amelioration of
pesticide-contaminated soils; phytoremediation techniques for
biomedical waste contaminated sites; as well as biomediation
processes for human waste sites. Biopesticides are also explained
in the book as an alternative to conventional pesticides as well as
the possibilities for the improvement of modern bio-pesticides.
Volume 2: Microbial Approaches and Recent Trends focuses on new and
emerging techniques and approaches to address soil pollution. These
include the use of rhizobacteria, archae, cyanobacteria, and
microalgae as biofertilizers and for soil bioremediation efforts.
New technologies for assessment of soil bioremediation are explored
also. The chapters provides in-depth coverage of the mechanisms,
advantages, and disadvantages of the technologies used and
highlights the use of different microbial enzymes that are used in
the process of bioremediation and phytoremediation to clean up
different pollutants without causing damage to the natural
environment. Volume 3: Inventive Techniques, Research Methods, and
Case Studies is organized in three themes: plants in green
remediation, tools and techniques in bioremediation and
phytoremediation, and special sites and their remediation
techniques. Innovative new techniques that advance the use of
molecular biological approaches, nanotechnology, immobilization,
vermicomposting and genetic modification developments are
investigated to take advantage of these possibilities. Volume 4:
Degradation of Pesticides and Polychlorinated Biphenyls addresses
pesticide degradation, PCBs degradation, and genetic interventions.
It begins by describing environment pesticide degradation,
mechanisms and sustainability, microbes and microbial enzymes,
plant microbe interactions, organophosphorus degradations and
endosulfan degradation. It then goes on to discuss PCBs and
degradation, cypermethrin, degradation by Phanerochaete
chrysosporium, carvone and surfactants for degradation of PCBs. The
book also advocates for genetic systems for degradation of PCBs and
pesticides, with discussion of the different advantages and
disadvantages for each strategy and the various techniques.
Together, these four volumes provide in-depth coverage of the
mechanisms, advantages, and disadvantages of the bioremediation and
phytoremediation technologies for safe and sustainable soil
management. The diverse topics help to arm biologists, agricultural
engineers, environmental and soil scientists and chemists with the
information and tools they need to address soil toxins that are a
dangerous risk to plants, wildlife, humans and, of course, the soil
itself.
