Environmental contamination of heavy metals is a major problem
threatening sustainable agricultural production and health of
millions of people. The extensive distribution of heavy metals in
soil and water makes it necessary to employ environment-friendly
low-cost and sustainable approaches for the remediation of
contaminated sites. Phytoremediation has been considered a viable
approach to meet these demands; however it must provide some
economic gains too. The use of economically important medicinal and
aromatic plants is helpful in restoration of metal-contaminated
sites and also may provide economic gains to the farmers. The book
brings about a critical overview of the prospects of utilizing
medicinal and aromatic plants in phytoremediation including their
utility, economical benefits and human safety issues. The book will
be a timely addition to the field and would act as landmark. This
book is of interest to teachers, researchers, doctoral and graduate
students working in the area of environmental pollution and cleanup
technologies. The students working in the field of metal(loid)
stress and crop biofortification will also find this to be a useful
read. The content of the book are presented in simple language and
represented through beautiful and scientifically informative
figures and tables.

This book studies the hitherto unexplored history of the shawl and
silk industries of the himalyan state of Jammu and Kashmir, India.
It focuses on the three processes - production, circulation, and
consumption - of the textile industry of the region to highlight
its socio-economic and political importance in 19th- and
20th-century Kashmir. Using the micro-history approach, it studies
the sites of production - the home looms or the small karkhana -
efficiency of labour, and innovations by weavers in their
techniques to suit the demands of the market. It also locates the
impact colonialism had on transforming the labour economy in the
Kashmir textile industry. Further, it compares these karkhanas with
the Scottish factories or home looms to illuminate many sites of
difference and comparison between the working styles and
technologies. Mapping a history as complex as the weave on the
finest Kashmiri shawl, this book brings to life the interface
between culture, commodity, and colonial networks. It will be of
great interest to scholars and researchers of South Asian history,
colonial and imperial history, cultural studies, and economic and
labour history.

Data science is a multi-disciplinary field that uses scientific
methods, processes, algorithms, and systems to extract knowledge
and insights from structured (labeled) and unstructured (unlabeled)
data. It is the future of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and a
necessity of the future to make things easier and more productive.
In simple terms, data science is the discovery of data or
uncovering hidden patterns (such as complex behaviors, trends, and
inferences) from data. Moreover, Big Data analytics/data analytics
are the analysis mechanisms used in data science by data
scientists. Several tools, such as Hadoop, R, etc., are used to
analyze this large amount of data to predict valuable information
and for decision-making. Note that structured data can be easily
analyzed by efficient (available) business intelligence tools,
while most of the data (80% of data by 2020) is in an unstructured
form that requires advanced analytics tools. But while analyzing
this data, we face several concerns, such as complexity,
scalability, privacy leaks, and trust issues. Data science helps us
to extract meaningful information or insights from unstructured or
complex or large amounts of data (available or stored virtually in
the cloud). Data Science and Data Analytics: Opportunities and
Challenges covers all possible areas, applications with arising
serious concerns, and challenges in this emerging field in detail
with a comparative analysis/taxonomy. FEATURES Gives the concept of
data science, tools, and algorithms that exist for many useful
applications Provides many challenges and opportunities in data
science and data analytics that help researchers to identify
research gaps or problems Identifies many areas and uses of data
science in the smart era Applies data science to agriculture,
healthcare, graph mining, education, security, etc. Academicians,
data scientists, and stockbrokers from industry/business will find
this book useful for designing optimal strategies to enhance their
firm's productivity.

In recent years, many animal-derived polymers have emerged as an
attractive category of naturally derived polymers because of their
advantageous physicochemical, chemical, and biological properties.
The important biological properties of these natural polymers
derived from animals are biocompatibility and biodegradation. These
polymers are generally composed of repeated units of amino acids.
Moreover, these polymers can be modified physically and/or
chemically to improve their biomaterial properties. Natural
Polymers for Pharmaceutical Applications, Volume 3: Animal-Derived
Polymers looks at how these polymers can be exploited as
pharmaceutical excipients in various pharmaceutical dosage forms,
like microparticles, nanoparticles, ophthalmic preparations, gels,
implants, etc. The commonly used animal-derived polymers used as
pharmaceutical excipients are hyaluronic acid (hyaluronan),
albumin, collagen, gelatin, chondroitin, etc.
Many polymers derived from various marine sources and
microorganisms possess some important biological properties such as
biocompatibility, biodegradability, and bioadhesivity that make
them attractive as pharmaceutical excipients in various
pharmaceutical dosage forms. Moreover, these polymers can be
modified physically and/or chemically to improve their biomaterial
properties. In this volume, Natural Polymers for Pharmaceutical
Applications, Volume 2: Marine- and Microbiologically Derived
Polymers, looks at how these polymers have been explored and
exploited for pharmaceutical uses, such as in tablets,
microparticles, nanoparticles, ophthalmic preparations, gels,
emulsions, suspensions, etc. Some commonly used marine- and
microbiologically derived polymers used as pharmaceutical
excipients include alginates, agar-agar, gellan gum, carrageenan;
chitosan, xanthan gum, and others. The book focuses on important
recent advances from experts around the world on marine-derived
polysaccharides and pharmaceutical applications of alginates,

Blockchain technology is an emerging distributed, decentralized
architecture and computing paradigm, which has accelerated the
development and application of cloud, fog and edge computing;
artificial intelligence; cyber physical systems; social networking;
crowdsourcing and crowdsensing; 5g; trust management and finance;
and other many useful sectors. Nowadays, the primary blockchain
technology uses are in information systems to keep information
secure and private. However, many threats and vulnerabilities are
facing blockchain in the past decade such 51% attacks, double
spending attacks, etc. The popularity and rapid development of
blockchain brings many technical and regulatory challenges for
research and academic communities. The main goal of this book is to
encourage both researchers and practitioners of Blockchain
technology to share and exchange their experiences and recent
studies between academia and industry. The reader will be provided
with the most up-to-date knowledge of blockchain in mainstream
areas of security and privacy in the decentralized domain, which is
timely and essential (this is due to the fact that the distributed
and p2p applications are increasing day-by-day, and the attackers
adopt new mechanisms to threaten the security and privacy of the
users in those environments). This book provides a detailed
explanation of security and privacy with respect to blockchain for
information systems, and will be an essential resource for
students, researchers and scientists studying blockchain uses in
information systems and those wanting to explore the current state
of play.
