Also the book serves as additional reading material for undergraduate and graduate students of agriculture, environmental sciences, environmental engineering and biotechnology.

This book discusses the role of optical networks in 3G, 4G, 5G and beyond. The authors discuss the evolution of the technologies, the research involved, and the applications with respect to optical communication systems. In addition, the book provides in-depth knowledge of broadband connectivity for future generation networks. More focus is given towards the front-, mid- and back- hauling of 5G and beyond. The authors present architecture for broadband connectivity and explain its potential in 5G and beyond applications. This book includes several architectures based on Hybrid Fiber-Wireless; Next Generation Passive Optical Networks Stage 1 and 2; millimeter wave over fiber; sub-THz wave over fiber; millimeter/sub-THz wave over multicore fiber; 6G fronthaul; 6G backhaul; GMPLS networks, and massive MIMO sub-Thz antenna. The contributors provide supplementary material such as simulations, analysis and experiments.

Despite three decades of continuous globalization, transitional economies in many countries remain marginalized. In order to maximize the positive growth of employment creation opportunities in various sectors, including agriculture, existing patterns of long-run sustainable equilibrium relationships, technology transfers, and trade to promote export-led economic growth must be examined and identified. Regional Trade and Development Strategies in the Era of Globalization provides a comprehensive overview of globalization and regional initiative trends of trade and development through the examination of theoretical and practical experiences of their underpinning principles through approaches to overcome the obstacles of globalization and its positive and negative impacts on global trade and economic development. The content within this publication examines economic integration, foreign investment, and financial risk. It is designed for trade specialists, government officials, students, researchers, policymakers, business professionals, academicians, and economists.

Now she looks forward to going back to her land in the Punjab, eating saag and roti on a verandah and letting her tired eyes rest on green fields. Her son Pal seems to have it all but he's restless. He's got big plans for his Daddy's business and a taste for Johnny Walker Black Label. However his kind-hearted wife Liz has her own ideas about what's best. Meanwhile Pal's sharp-tongued sister Cookie runs the tackiest beauty salon in town and harbours a dark secret. When their cousin's destitute wife, Reema, arrives from back home, the Gills propose to take care of her. Little do they know that her arrival will change the course of their family's destiny forever.

Dental informatics is the application of computer and information science to improve dental practice, research and program administration. Advances in the mainstream of education research, such as adaptive hypermedia, intelligent tutoring systems, simulations, and decision support systems for education will revolutionize dental education. A big improvement in the clinical applications is being brought about by various soft wares developed-like shape modeling and photogrammetry in orthodontics, virtual articulator and RaPiD in prosthodontics, Computer aided designing and machining for restorative dentistry, software like VisualDx in oral diagnosis, DICOM in radiology, behavior management in pedodontics and the list can go on. Teledentistry makes dental services available in remote areas and finally, development of nanodentistry will provide for the miraculous extension to dentistry, thereby striving to change the very face of dentistry The book should help shed light on the interesting world of dental informatics and should be particularly helpful for dental students, teachers, researchers and practitioners and other professionals interested in information technology.

Behud (Beyond Belief) is the latest play by controversial playwright Gurpreet Kaur Bhatti. In December 2004, Gurpreet Kaur Bhatti's play Behzti rocked the world of theatre when it was cancelled after protests in Birmingham. The closure of the play sparked a vehement debate about offence and freedom of speech, as well as death threats for the playwright forcing her to go into hiding.In Behud, a playwright attempts to make sense of the past by visiting the darkest corners of her imaginations. Set amidst the theatre establishment, politicians and protesters, Behud is an imaginative response, inspired by the events surrounding Behzti, and the compelling story of an artist struggling to be heard.

Behzti (Dishonour) touched such a nerve in a Sikh community during its UK production that the playwright was forced into hiding because of death threats.

Chitosan is the deacetylated form of chitin. Generally, the substance becomes soluble in dilute acids when the degree of deacetylation is more than 50%. The solubility of chitosan in dilute acids is often needed to be modified when specific drug release properties have to be tailored into the dosage form. The available toxicological data on chitosan and its modified forms appears to indicate its safety for oral use because high doses have been found to be tolerated well in rodents and rabbits. However, its local action as a haemostatic together with its ability to activate macrophages and cause cytokine release may require a careful assessment of its safety for parenteral use. This book offers the dynamics of chitosan's detailed composition.
