Algorithim (mathematics) helps in understanding the direct and
indirect relationship of plants that exist within it and other
environmental factors. This book helps to understand how yield is
related to different growth parameters, how growth is influenced by
different environmental phenomenon, how best the resources can be
used for crop production, etc. The numerical examples in the book
guide a student to coordinate the different parameters and
understand the subject of Agronomy well. This book is divided into
thirteen chapters and covers comprehensively the different
agronomic aspects to understand the science of mathematical
Agronomy to meet the current and future challenges related to
cropping practices.
This book details cutting edge technologies in micromanufacturing
processes, an industry which has undergone a technological
transformation in the past decade. Enabling engineers to create
high performance, low cost and long-lasting products, this book is
an essential companion to all those working in micro and nano
engineering. As products continue to get smaller and smaller, the
field of micromanufacturing has gained an international audience.
This book looks at both approaches of micromanufacturing: top-down
and bottom-up. The top-down approach includes subtractive
micromanufacturing processes such as microturning, micromilling,
microdrillling, laser beam micromachining and magnetic abrasive
finishing. The bottom-up approach involves additive manufacturing
processes such as microforming, micro deep drawing, microforging,
microextrusion, and microwelding. Additionally, microjoining and
microhybrid manufacturing processes are discussed in detail. The
book also aids engineers and students in solving common
manufacturing issues such as choice of materials and testing. The
book will be of interest to those working in micro and nano
engineering and machining, as well as students in manufacturing
engineering, materials science and more.

Joining Processes for Dissimilar and Advanced Materials describes
how to overcome the many challenges involved in the joining of
similar and dissimilar materials resulting from factors including
different thermal coefficients and melting points. Traditional
joining processes are ineffective with many newly developed
materials. The ever-increasing industrial demands for production
efficiency and high-performance materials are also pushing this
technology forward. The resulting emergence of advanced micro- and
nanoscale material joining technologies, have provided many
solutions to these challenges. Drawing on the latest research, this
book describes primary and secondary processes for the joining of
advanced materials such as metals and alloys, intermetallics,
ceramics, glasses, polymers, superalloys, electronic materials and
composites in similar and dissimilar combinations. It also covers
details of joint design, quality assurance, economics and service
life of the product.
Strategic Perspectives in Solid Waste and Wastewater Management
explores conventional and advanced biotechnologies for waste
management, including socio-economic aspects, techno-economic
feasibility, models and modeling tools, and a detailed life-cycle
assessment approach in solid waste (SW) and wastewater (WW). These
innovative technologies are highly applicable to current real-world
situations. The enormous increase in the quantum and diversity of
SW and WW - including waste materials generated due to human
activity and their potentially harmful effects on the environment
and public health - have led to increasing awareness about an
urgent need to adopt novel technologies for appropriate management
of both SW and WW. While there is an obvious need to minimize the
generation of wastes and to reuse and recycle them, the
technologies for managing such wastes can play a vital role in
mitigating problems. Besides recovery of substantial energy, these
technologies can lead to a considerable reduction in the overall
waste quantities requiring final disposal, which can be better
managed for safe disposal in a controlled manner while meeting
pollution control standards.
Current Developments in Biotechnology and Bioengineering: Waste
Treatment Processes for Energy Generation provides extensive
research on the role of waste management processes/technologies for
energy generation. The enormous increase of waste materials
generated by human activity and its potentially harmful effects on
the environment and public health have led to an increasing
awareness of an urgent need to adopt scientific methods for the
safe disposal of wastes. This book outlines the basic knowledge,
processes and technologies for the generation of energy from waste
and functions as an important reference for academics and
practitioners at varying levels of interest and knowledge. The
book's content encompasses all issues for energy recovery from
waste in a very clear and simple manner, acting as a comprehensive
resource for anyone seeking an understanding on the topic.

scientists, libraries, industry experts, government organizations,
students and educators of higher education, business professionals,
communication and marketing agencies, entrepreneurs, and
academicians.
Podands are the open chain ligands with pendant coordinating sites
having potential donor atoms such as oxygen and nitrogen. These
acyclic multidentate ligands possess a good capability of forming
host- guest complexes. Podands unlike their macrocyclic analogues,
do not have well-defined preorganised cavities but encapsulate the
suitable cation due to flexible behaviour of the pendant binding
sites. During complex formation, podands undergo conformational
changes due to their high degree of flexibility.
