Rice is a major food crop for people around the world; it is a
major staple food and a source of nutrition for over 3.5 billion
people worldwide. Rice is susceptible to a number of bacterial
diseases that decrease its yield and quality. This book covers the
various bacterial diseases of rice and their management. It focuses
on various sustainable management methods-biological control,
conventional breeding methods, and molecular methods, as opposed to
chemical control, which can be hazardous to the environment. The
book provides a comprehensive view of rice bacterial diseases
starting from the identification of bacterial diseases and their
ecology to the management of bacterial disease, which includes
conventional as well as new and emerging methods. The book examines
the impact of rice bacterial diseases on global food security that
can lead to a food crisis worldwide. It discusses potential methods
for bacterial disease identification and covers the biology of rice
bacterial blight pathogen, virulence determinants, and various host
defense factors of bacterial blight pathogen-rice interactions and
traditional and recent tools for bacterial blight disease
management. Different resistance rice cultivars, their resistance
loci, and quantitative trait loci mapping in the important rice
cultivars are also discussed. The book presents biological studies
of the major rice bacterial diseases (rice bacterial brown stripe
disease, bacterial leaf streak disease, rice bacterial panicle
blight disease, rice bacterial foot rot, sheath brown rot disease)
and presents comparative analyses of conventional, breeding, and
molecular management approaches, along with a selection of
examples. Also included is a review of bioinformatics tools for
rice disease management. The up-to-date knowledge presented in
Bacterial Diseases of Rice and Their Management will serve as a
useful reference book for students, academicians, and scientists in
plant pathology as well as for molecular breeders and
biotechnologists working in the area of crop science.
A comprehensive reference to renewable energy technologies with a
focus on power generation and integration into power systems This
book addresses the generation of energy (primarily electrical)
through various renewable sources. It discusses solar and wind
power two major resources that are now in use in small as well as
large-scale power production and their requirements for effectively
using advanced control techniques.In addition, the book looks at
theintegration of renewable energy in the power grid and its
ability to work in a micro grid. Operation and Control of Renewable
Energy Systems describes the numerous types of renewable energy
sources available and the basic principles involving energy
conversion, including the theory of fluid mechanics and the laws of
thermodynamics. Chapter coverage includes the theory of power
electronics and various electric power generators, grid scale
energy storage systems, photovoltaic power generation, solar
thermal energy conversion technology, horizontal and vertical wind
turbines for power generation, and more. * Covers integration into
power systems with an emphasis on microgrids * Introduces a wide
range of subjects related to renewable energy systems, including
energy storage, microgrids, and battery technologies * Includes
tutorial materials such as up-to-date references for wind energy,
grid connection, and power electronics plus worked examples and
solutions Operation and Control of Renewable Energy Systems is the
perfect introduction to renewable energy technologies for
undergraduate and graduate students and can also be very useful to
practicing engineers.
This research was conducted to examine the relationship between job
satisfaction and communicative teamwork within the Malaysian
organizations. The study was based on Herzberg's Motivation-Hygiene
theory that explained the relationship between the factors such as
achievement, recognition, responsibility, personal growth and the
nature of work to that of communicative teamwork. The study showed
the relationship between job satisfaction and increase in the
knowledge and application of communicative teamwork. This will thus
contribute to the process of organizing and other organizational
and communication behaviors such as communicative teamwork. From
the study, it was also found that the indicators of job
satisfaction namely; achievement, recognition, responsibility,
nature of work and personal growth were positively related to
communicative teamwork.Thus, suggesting that for a successful
practice of communicative teamwork, it is essential for any
organization to ensure that its members were able to have an
understanding of job satisfaction in relation with this particular
issue.
