This book consists of select peer-reviewed papers from the
International Conference on Sustainable Environmental Engineering
and Science (SEES) 2019. The main focus of the book is to propose
sustainable technologies to address the growing environmental
challenges. The contents cover several topics of relevance such as
air pollution, solid waste management, wastewater treatment,
industrial pollution, and suggests eco-friendly and cost-effective
techniques to tackle them. Given the range of topics covered, the
book will be useful to researchers and professionals working in the
multidisciplinary area of sustainability.
Addressing the most critical issues in the management of emerging
diseases throughout the world, experts in plant pathology from
internationally renowned institutes share their research and
examine key literature. They look at both traditional pathology and
advanced biotechnological and molecular diagnosis, and integrated
management practices. This book is divided into four parts,
covering viral and fungal disease detection and management,
nematode diseases and management, bio-control, and biotechnological
approaches and impact of climate change. The authors look at the
challenges of crop protection against diseases caused by plant
pathogens for the most economically important crops. The
establishment and management of plant diseases using conventional
and eco-friendly methods are discussed with an emphasis on the use
of beneficial microbes and modern biotechnological approaches.
Crop Improvement: Biotechnological Advances - Biomedical Science
The field of biotechnology is advancing at a fast pace. The
availability of low-cost DNA/genome sequencing technologies has led
to the discovery and functional characterization of myriad of genes
imparting stress tolerance and quality traits. The 'omics' group of
technologies including genomics, proteomics, transcriptomics and
metabolomics has revolutionized the agricultural biotechnology
sector. The Nobel Prize-winning technology, such as the genome
editing technique, is being employed to edit various gene functions
in plants aiding in crop improvement. This technology may be
adopted very quickly by consumers compared with the transgenic
technique because the genome-edited plants have no adverse effects
on the genome of the plant itself and on the environment and
related species/non-target organisms. In this book, authors have
attempted to compile the latest techniques of agricultural
biotechnology and their applications in crop improvement. Certain
chapters have been dedicated to describe the use of nanotechnology,
a fast emerging new technique in the agriculture sector. Features

The Potential of Microbes for a Circular Economy provides a
thorough understanding of the role of microbes in a circular
economy (CE). It covers the development of effective bio-based
formulations for field applications and describes the basic
principles and applications of the circular economy, the important
role of microorganisms, and new insights into a sustainable
ecosystem.The Potential of Microbes for a Circular Economy compiles
the latest advancement in the field of CE by covering the aspect of
microbes and microbial products providing microbiologists the tools
to engage with the wider public, policymakers and industry to
inform the debate on addressing current challenges and showcasing
the positive impacts of microbiology for society.

This book incorporates the studies on direct effect of a particular
genotype on the E-CR1 levels and Knops Blood Group Polymorphism.
Complement receptor 1 (CR1, CD35, C3b/C4b receptor) is an immune
regulatory molecule that is expressed on the surface of
erythrocytes (RBCs), macrophages, neutrophils, lymphocytes,
follicular dendritic cells and kidney podocytes. The functions of
CR1 are binding to and removal of C4b and C3b bearing immune
complexes from the circulation, enhancement of phagocytosis,
regulation of complement activation by means of decay-accelerating
activity for C3 convertases and cofactor activity for factor I, and
serves as a complement regulatory protein. This book is for
undergraduate and postgraduate students of Biochemistry and
Immunology. It provides background theory of complement system and
distribution of density and knops blood group polymorphisms of
complement receptor 1 in normal healthy Indian subjects.
Sound knowledge followed by infection control, clinical record
keeping, risk management and communication are important
fundamentals of good dental practice. This book provides you with
comprehensive review and knowledge of basic dentistry. Topics
include development of micro-biota, oral ecosystem, basic sciences,
wound healing, bleeding disorders, hypersensitivity, dental
diagnostics, therapeutics and research. Students, educators, and
practitioners alike will find this text a valuable resource for the
translation of basics sciences into clinical dentistry. A must have
for the dental students and practicing clinicians.
The treatment of highly colored wastewater containing hazardous
industrial chemicals and dyes is one of the growing needs of the
present time. The conventional wastewater treatment does not always
satisfactorily cleanse the wastewater containing dyes. In order to
cleanse water of these extra-stable organics, so-called advance
oxygen processes (AOPs) have been developed. The aim of these
methods is to mineralize the pollutants to CO2, H2O and mineral
acids and salts. Titanium dioxide photocatalysis belongs to the
group of AOPs and has been extensively studied over the last 20
years. The use of TiO2 as slurries in wastewater treatment has some
disadvantages: the separation of fine particles is slow and
penetration of light is limited. These problems can be minimized by
supporting TiO2 on various materials. The goals of present work
were: (1) preparation of immobilized TiO2 films by various
techniques and their characterization; (2) study the photocatalytic
degradation of aqueous amaranth solution using the prepared TiO2
films; (3) study the combined effect of photodegradation and
adsorption; (4) comparing the performance of prepared films.
