The diode laser is a versatile and effective solution for oral tissue care. The advantages are manifold such as: faster healing, reduced risk of infection, and postoperative complications. In addition, sessions are not stressful for patients due to their mini-invasiveness with reduced intraoperative and postoperative pain perception. Thanks to these benefits, the use of the diode laser is spreading and opens up new treatment possibilities in various areas of dentistry: from endodontics to periodontology; from oral surgery to aesthetic treatments such as teeth whitening. The book responds to the needs of those clinicians who seek specific and updated training on the use of the diode laser. An extensive set of images describes clinical applications in detail, offering professionals a comprehensive learning tool and a useful resource in daily practice. It is also possible to access videos on specific topics covered in the text from a smartphone or tablet via the QR codes printed inside this book.

The study was carried out in two dominant forest types i.e., Bnaj oak and Chir pine forests to assess vegetation analysis, physico-chemical characteristics and soil organic carbon stock. The study suggests that in both the forest types, the tree density and total basal cover of forests decreased with increasing altitudes. The soil condition of Banj-oak forest was comparatively better than the Chir-pine forest. The carbon stock along altitudes between the forest showed decreasing trend as 72 8, 70.4 11.2 and 64 5.6 for Bnaj oak and 60 3.8, 50.4 7.2 and 49.6 8 t C ha-1 for Chir pine forests. The decreasing trend of soil carbon stock in both the forests with increasing altitude might be due to reduction in trees density, total basal cover and litter production with altitude. Between the forests all the related parameter studies were better in Banj-oak forest than in Chir pine forest. But it is also important to note that those sites where nutrients levels are lower and harsh conditions dominant are occupied by Chir pine forest. Therefore preference should be given to the Banj-oak forests to enhance over all productivity of the forest.

It is a research based script; with concept, theme, screenplay and flow of smooth story and dialogues in the form of play for different age groups. The gifted and visionary children, young and old ones introduce their original ideas for the easy solution for global problems of the present and future, eastern and western with creative communication, the art of learning creative thinking, scientific feelings, the Philselfology as self-wisdom. The children learn to participate in different social gatherings, group discussions and the similar activities for the concepts of world as our family, human equality and togetherness for all round development going beyond the bookish knowledge, enjoying the art of sharing knowledge and wisdom through personal experiences. It focuses on the need of natural philosophy and the humanistic psychology for all purposes of learning, philosophical-guidance and counseling for students, teachers, parents and others in the society in the intercultural way.

Encyclopedic application of the state of the science in mycoremediation

This pioneering work, the first encyclopedic examination of the application of fungi in bioremediation, coincides with the rise of a new era in fungal technologies. For the first time, readers have a single, cohesive presentation of the current state of the science that will serve as a springboard for future research and new innovations. All aspects of this multidisciplinary field are covered, including degradative fungi, taxonomy, biochemistry, enzymology, reactor engineering, genetic engineering, and the ecology of biodegradation. Not only does the book provide a solid foundation in the theoretical underpinnings of mycoremediation, but it also features step-by-step guidance for a myriad of effective techniques to identify, select, and apply fungi towards the remediation of contaminated sites.

The book has a logical organization that first establishes a foundation in the fundamentals and then moves on to practical applications. Highlights of coverage include: Introduction to fungal morphology, including analysis of morphology and growth measurement Fungal treatment of industrial wastewaters and brewery and distillery wastes Metabolic pathways and mechanisms of mycotransformation of petroleum hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls and dioxins, pesticides, phenols, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and dyes Role of fungal enzymes in the degradation of polychlorinated biphenyls, pesticides, phenols, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, lignin, effluents, and dyes Applications of living and nonliving fungal biomass in metal biosorption Use of mycorrhizal fungi in the uptake of toxic metals and degradation ofxenobiotic organic compounds

Some 2,000 references enable readers to continue researching any individual topic in greater depth. Scientists, engineers, and students in the field of bioremediation should keep this book close at hand for its thorough discussion of what is known, how it is done, and what can be done in the field of mycoremediation.
