Learn how to use AI and blockchain to build decentralized intelligent applications (DIApps) that overcome real-world challenges Key Features Understand the fundamental concepts for converging artificial intelligence and blockchain Apply your learnings to build apps using machine learning with Ethereum, IPFS, and MoiBit Get well-versed with the AI-blockchain ecosystem to develop your own DIApps Book DescriptionAI and blockchain are two emerging technologies catalyzing the pace of enterprise innovation. With this book, you'll understand both technologies and converge them to solve real-world challenges. This AI blockchain book is divided into three sections. The first section covers the fundamentals of blockchain, AI, and affiliated technologies, where you'll learn to differentiate between the various implementations of blockchains and AI with the help of examples. The second section takes you through domain-specific applications of AI and blockchain. You'll understand the basics of decentralized databases and file systems and connect the dots between AI and blockchain before exploring products and solutions that use them together. You'll then discover applications of AI techniques in crypto trading. In the third section, you'll be introduced to the DIApp design pattern and compare it with the DApp design pattern. The book also highlights unique aspects of SDLC (software development lifecycle) when building a DIApp, shows you how to implement a sample contact tracing application, and delves into the future of AI with blockchain. By the end of this book, you'll have developed the skills you need to converge AI and blockchain technologies to build smart solutions using the DIApp design pattern. What you will learn Get well-versed in blockchain basics and AI methodologies Understand the significance of data collection and cleaning in AI modeling Discover the application of analytics in cryptocurrency trading Get to grips with open, permissioned, and private blockchains Explore the DIApp design pattern and its merit in digital solutions Find out how LSTM and ARIMA can be applied in crypto trading Use the DIApp design pattern to build a sample contact tracing application Get started with building your own DIApps across various domains Who this book is forThis book is for blockchain and AI architects, developers, data scientists, data engineers, and evangelists who want to harness the power of artificial intelligence in blockchain applications. If you are looking for a blend of theoretical and practical use cases to understand how to implement smart cognitive insights into blockchain solutions, this book is what you need! Knowledge of machine learning and blockchain concepts is required.

Against the backdrop of human-induced habitat shrinkage and fragmentation, started reflecting in the form of escalated man-wild animal conflict across the length and breadth of the country. Thus, we meet with frequent incidents of wild beasts straying into human habitations, farm fields etc. causing in the process, heavy damage to life and property of the people. In this back ground, that rescue of wild animals in distress for their subsequent rehabilitation in the wild or the capture of problem-causing beasts and their translocation away from the area of conflict assume relevance. The best option available to the forest/wildlife managers is chemical restraint of wild animals .

Mushrooms are an article of diet, which serve as an adjunct to world food production. Mushroom is an excellent supplement of protein diet having highest percentage of protein amongst the vegetables. The objectives of the present books are: (a) to determine the morphological parameters of important species of Pleurotus (b) to evaluate different Pleurotus spp. in different seasons and substrate supplements. (c) to determine the protein content in different species of Pleurotus under different substrate supplements. (d) to find out the best substrate and supplement for maximization of yield and quality of mushroom and (e) to determine the best temperature and relative humidity to get maximum yield.

Despite the good knowledge and practices among the Nepalese migrant women, the breastfeeding practices particularly exclusive breastfeeding were found low. A good knowledge on colostrum, breast milk and their feeding was found in almost all the women however the practices ware found very low to high. Emotional attachment was much emphasised, as the cause of breastfeeding. It was lower than the average exclusive breastfeeding rate of Nepalese women in Nepal. Emotional attachment i.e. the affectionate relationship, with the baby of the mother played important role to breastfeed but economic condition and the compulsion of the work compelled the mothers to quit exclusive breastfeeding or breastfeeding at all. Cultural beliefs were very strong among the Nepalese families about the breastfeeding some of them discouraged breastfeeding. Beside hospitals, health practitioners, and breastfeeding related organisations and family members also could be an effective means to encourage mothers to breastfeed.
