This book provides insights into the care of cancer patients in the intensive care unit in a comprehensive manner. It provides an evidence-based approach to practitioners and postgraduate students to understand about the critical care needs of the patients suffering from malignancies. It helps the readers to develop critical thinking and encourage discussion towards improving the overall care of the patients and their families as their optimal management requires expertise in oncology, critical care, and palliative medicine and there is a dearth of books explaining about the special requirements and critical care needs of cancer patients. Each chapter is prepared by an expert in the field and contains well-prepared illustrations, flowcharts and relevant images. Chapters include latest evidence-based information which is useful for the readers. The book is useful for residents, fellows and trainees in the field of onco-anaesthesia, onco-critical care, onco-surgery, critical care and anaesthesia; practitioners and consultants in anaesthesia and onco-anaesthesia as well as intensivist, critical care experts and postgraduates in nursing.

Significant variability for physiological, biochemical and yield parameters exists in sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) germplasm studied. Among the various germplasm 'CO-3-4', 'ST-10', 'H-109-2' were found superior in yield per unit area. Yield varied from 13.59 t ha-1 to 40.73 t ha-1. Orange fleshed sweet potato germplasm have higher antioxidant and higher total carotenoids and range was 0.18-0.31 (mg 100g-1 fresh weight), 0.55-0.47(mg 100g-1 fresh weight) respectively. Photosynthesis rate varied in a range of 0.81-1.16 u mol m-2 s-1 at 60 DAP and 0.66-1.01 u mol m-2 s-1. LAI, photosynthesis, respiration and yield found to have positive relationship. LAI, photosynthesis rate and respiration rate found to be superior in germplasm 'CO-3-4'. Yield per unit area was also found superior in germplasm 'CO-3-4'. Carotenoids was found maximum in 'CIPSWA-2', maximum antioxidants in germplasm 'Samrat' and maximum starch in germplasm 'Sree Nandini'. These genotypes may further be utilized in breeding programme aimed at improving yield per unit area, qualiy and nutritive value. Overall germplasm 'CO-3-4' was found superior with respect to physiological, yield and quality characteristics."

This book is designed to offer a lively applied presentation of analytical and empirical tool for Linkage Model of network of queues with a flowshop scheduling system. This introductory text provides a concise and practical introduction to the primary concepts and techniques of Linkage Model. A lot of research work has already been done separately in the field of Queuing and Scheduling. A few efforts has been recorded so far to combine these two systems. The present work is an attempt to establish the linkage between these two systems of optimization. The Queuing-Scheduling linkage models are motivated by the fact that they are more meaningful from practical point of view. The illustrated examples format introduced in the text for every concept helps the reader to formulate the realistic problems easily. The C++ programmes under various sections will enable the readers and industrial people to apply these concepts practically. This book can be read without any prior knowledge of Queuing and Scheduling theory and may be of interest to all people.
