the fields of civil engineering, architecture and sustainable
development.
Sorghum is the most important cereal crop grown in the semi-arid
tropics (SAT) of Africa, Asia, Australia and Americas for food,
feed, fodder and fuel. It is the fifth most important cereal crop
globally after rice, wheat, maize and barley, and plays a major
role in global food security. Sorghum is consumed in different
forms for various end-uses. Its grain is mostly used directly for
food purposes. After the release of the proceedings of two
international symposia in the form of books "Sorghum in Seventies"
and "Sorghum in Eighties", global sorghum research and development
have not been documented at one place. Of course, few books on
sorghum have been released that focus on specific issues/research
areas, but comprehensive review of all aspects of recent
development in different areas of sorghum science has not been
compiled in the form a single book. This book is intended to fill
in a void to bridge the gap by documenting all aspects of recent
research and development in sorghum encompassing all the progress
made, milestones achieved across globe in genetic diversity
assessment, crop improvement and production, strategies for high
yield, biotic and abiotic stress resistance, grain and stover
quality aspects, storage, nutrition, health and industrial
applications, biotechnological applications to increase production,
including regional and global policy perspectives and developmental
needs. This book will be an institutional effort to compile all the
latest information generated in research and development in sorghum
across the globe at one place.
This book introduces nanoparticles as a powerful platform for
vaccine design. Current challenges in vaccine development are
discussed and the unique advantages nanoparticles provide in
overcoming these challenges are explored. The authors offer
fascinating insights into the immunological assets of using
nanoparticles as delivery vehicles or adjuvants and present
different materials that are being used in nanoparticle-based
vaccine development, covering peptides, proteins, polymers,
virus-like particles, and liposomes. Its contemporary research
insights and practical examples for applications make this volume
an inspiring read for researchers and clinicians in vaccinology and
immunology. Chapter "Liposome Formulations as Adjuvants for
Vaccines" is available open access under a Creative Commons

This book describes the latest advances, innovations and
applications in the field of waste management and environmental
geomechanics as presented by leading researchers, engineers and
practitioners at the International Conference on Sustainable Waste
Management through Design (IC_SWMD), held in Ludhiana (Punjab),
India on November 2-3, 2018. Providing a unique overview of new
directions, and opportunities for sustainable and resilient design
approaches to protect infrastructure and the environment, it
discusses diverse topics related to civil engineering and
construction aspects of the resource management cycle, from the
minimization of waste, through the eco-friendly re-use and
processing of waste materials, the management and disposal of
residual wastes, to water treatments and technologies. It also
encompasses strategies for reducing construction waste through
better design, improved recovery, re-use, more efficient resource
management and the performance of materials recovered from wastes.
The contributions were selected by means of a rigorous peer-review
process and highlight many exciting ideas that will spur novel
research directions and foster multidisciplinary collaboration
among different waste management specialists.
This book discusses design aspects of steel fiber-reinforced
concrete (SFRC) members, including the behavior of the SFRC and its
modeling. It also examines the effect of various parameters
governing the response of SFRC members in detail. Unlike other
publications available in the form of guidelines, which mainly
describe design methods based on experimental results, it describes
the basic concepts and principles of designing structural members
using SFRC as a structural material, predominantly subjected to
flexure and shear. Although applications to special structures,
such as bridges, retaining walls, tanks and silos are not
specifically covered, the fundamental design concepts remain the
same and can easily be extended to these elements. It introduces
the principles and related theories for predicting the role of
steel fibers in reinforcing concrete members concisely and
logically, and presents various material models to predict the
response of SFRC members in detail. These are then gradually
extended to develop an analytical flexural model for the analysis
and design of SFRC members. The lack of such a discussion is a
major hindrance to the adoption of SFRC as a structural material in
routine design practice. This book helps users appraise the role of
fiber as reinforcement in concrete members used alone and/or along
with conventional rebars. Applications to singly and doubly
reinforced beams and slabs are illustrated with examples, using
both SFRC and conventional reinforced concrete as a structural
material. The influence of the addition of steel fibers on various
mechanical properties of the SFRC members is discussed in detail,
which is invaluable in helping designers and engineers create
optimum designs. Lastly, it describes the generally accepted
methods for specifying the steel fibers at the site along with the
SFRC mixing methods, storage and transport and explains in detail
methods to validate the adopted design. This book is useful to
practicing engineers, researchers, and students.

Technology for nature-a new venture by mechanical engineering
community for betterment of environment for healthy survival of
future industries, science, technology and humankind. The present
investigation work has been focused on the utilization of
industrial and agricultural wastes i.e. fly ash and rice husk ash
which is available in abundance in India, in useful manner by
dispersing it into LM24 Aluminum alloy matrix to fabricate
composites by liquid metallurgy route. Fly ash and Rice husk ash
particles up to 106 m were used. Composites formed by reinforcing
fly ash and rice husk ash particles into Al alloy were tested for
their mechanical and micro-structural properties. The tests
included were Optical microscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy,
X-Ray Diffraction, Micro-hardness, Impact and Tensile strength. It
was found that the mechanical properties of the composites formed
by using the reinforcements i.e. fly ash and rice husk ash were
better than the base alloy LM24, thus proving that applications
where LM24 is being used could be replaced by low cost and low
weight fly ash-rice husk ash-Al alloy metal matrix composites."
This book discusses the properties, characterization procedures,
and analysis techniques of various structural materials. It
presents the latest design considerations and uses of engineering
materials as well as theories for fully understanding them through
numerous worked mathematical examples. The book gradually builds
the concept of materials and the principles of material
classifications and their response to different physical
disturbances, and finally, about the selection methods based upon
the test results of the standard methods to choose appropriate
materials for various engineering applications. The principles and
related theories predicting the response of different structural
materials are introduced in a concise and logical manner. A number
of illustrations and examples are also given in all chapters for
the help of potential readers. The book will be useful for
practicing engineers, researchers, and students in the area of
civil engineering, especially structural engineering and allied
fields.
