The proper nutrition can aid disease prevention and ensure an overall healthy lifestyle. In nutrition, certain natural and processed foods are particularly useful in achieving and maintaining health goals. Nutraceuticals and Innovative Food Products for Healthy Living and Preventive Care is a comprehensive reference source for the latest research findings on food components that provide health and medical benefits, including the prevention, treatment, and cures for numerous diseases. Featuring extensive coverage on relevant areas such as functional foods, alternative medicine, and nutrition, this publication is an ideal resource for medical practitioners, nutritionists, upper-level students, researchers, and academicians seeking information on the use of food products in health management.

In today's era job motivation is one of the most important factor for the growth and development of an organization/institution. If the level of job satisfaction is low, it affects the work efficiency of LIS professionals. For this purpose library professionals should be motivated. The present book examines the factor of 'organizational climate and personal characteristics' of employees within an organization. This book elaborates the satisfaction level of library professionals working in the libraries of engineering Institutions, Lucknow. It also emphasizes the rewarding system which results in job motivation amongst the LIS professionals.

Keratinases from microorganisms have attracted a great deal of attention due to their multitude of industrial applications. The most promising application of Keratinases/ Keratinolytic microorganisms is the production of nutritious, cost-effective, environmentally benign feather meal for poultry. In the present investigation an Isolate RS1 was emerged as a best candidate to be utilized in waste management of keratin wastes, leather, detergent and X ray film recycling. Thus, the strain and its enzyme can be utilized in the bioremediation of keratinolytic wastes for the production of fertilizer, poultry feed and also to solve the "Solid waste problem" created by these wastes. Complete dehairing of the skin and other important applications were also achieved with enzyme in this present study.

The present study was conducted at the Dr. N.E. Borlaug's Crop Research Centre, G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar, Uttarakhand, India with an objective to evaluate the effects of different N doses on growth dynamic, morphological, physiological parameters and nitrogen use efficiency in five genotypes of rice. The field experiment was conducted during rainy season of 2008 and 2009. Five rice genotypes (KRH-2- hybrid, Vasumati- aromatic, Tulsi, Kasturi and Krishna Hamsa- high yielding) were used as experimental material. The N fertilizer 0, 50, 100 and 200N kg ha-1 was sprouted in the field. The growth parameters were recorded at time of panicle initiation, maximum tillering and reproductive stage. The growth as well as physiological parameters and guttative fluid increases as the nitrogen levels increased. The grain and biological yieldalso increased with increasing nitrogen levels. The application of nitrogen fertilizers also affected the nitrogen and protein content of leaves, seeds and the soil significantly. The NUE increased up to N100 level and found to be highest for KRH-2.

4-Thiazolidinones are one of the emerging classes of heterocyclic privileged scaffold. Because of their biological importance, several methods have been developed for the synthesis of 4-thiazolidinone skeleton. The only method reported for solid phase synthesis of 4-thiazolidinones is by C. P. Holmes. A careful survey of the literature revealed that solid-phase synthesis of 4-thiazolidinone with a suitable methodology has not been reported yet. The challenge is to develop a solid phase methodology that affords fast and easy generation of combinatorial library of 4-thiazolidinones, with high yield and appropriate diversity. There are three major points for diversification in 4-thiazolidinone scaffold pointed out providing an opportunity to explore different substituent at these positions. Therefore, the present study makes an effort towards the synthesis of a library of 4-thiazolidinones and 4-metathiazanones with suitable diversity at one, two or three points with the use of suitable coupling agents and other reagents.
