Applied Mathematics and Omics to Assess Crop Genetic Resources for
Climate Change Adaptive Traits focuses on practical means and
approaches to further the use of genetic resources for mitigating
the effects of climate change and improving crop production.
Genetic diversity in crop plants is being further explored to
increase yield, disease resistance, and nutritional value by
employing recent advances in mathematics and omics technologies to
promote the adaptation of crops to changing climatic conditions.
This book presents a broad view of biodiversity and genetic
resources in agriculture and provides answers to some current
problems. It also highlights ways to provide much-needed
information to practitioners and innovators engaged in addressing
the effects of global climate change on agriculture. The book is
divided into sections that cover: The implications of climate
change for drylands and farming communities The potential of
genetic resources and biodiversity to adapt to and mitigate climate
change effects Applications of mathematics and omics technologies
Genomics and gene identification We are in the midst of significant
changes in global climates, and its effects are already being felt
throughout the world. The increasing frequency of droughts and heat
waves has had negative impacts on agricultural production,
especially in the drylands of the world. This book shares the
collective knowledge of leading scientists and practitioners,
giving readers a broader appreciation and heightened awareness of
the stakes involved in improving and sustaining agricultural
production systems in the face of climate change.
The Assessment Pack supports teachers in tracking and recording
children's progress through the first level numeracy and
mathematics Curriculum for Excellence. It is a flexible resource
which can also be used as a diagnostic tool, to identify children
requiring more support or challenge, and to record and report
children's attainment. Each photocopiable Assessment Pack contains:
* Comprehensive introduction * Yearly Progress Checks (1A, 1B, 1C)
* Bank of end of first level assessments * Answers and marking
guidance * Recording sheets * Resource sheets (online) Yearly
progress checks assess knowledge retention and the numeracy and
mathematical skills listed in the benchmarks document. End of level
assessments check the ability to apply learning in new and
unfamiliar situations. This pack contains everything you need to
assess all children working within and at first level.
This SpringerBrief discusses the rise of the smart grid from the
perspective of computing and communications. It explains how
current and next-generation network technology and methodologies
help recognize the potential that the smart grid initiative
promises. Chapters provide context on the smart grid before
exploring specific challenges related to communication control and
energy management. Topics include control in heterogeneous power
supply, solutions for backhaul and wide area networks, home energy
management systems, and technologies for smart energy management
systems. Designed for researchers and professionals working on the
smart grid, Communication Challenges and Solutions in the Smart
Grid offers context and applications for the common issues of this
developing technology. Advanced-level students interested in
networking and communications engineering will also find the brief
valuable.
In 1939, the 65-year old French political economist Charles Rist
was serving as advisor to the French government and consultant to
the international banking and business world. As France anxiously
awaited a German invasion, Rist traveled to America to negotiate
embargo policy. Days after his return to Paris, the German
offensive began and with it the infamous season of occupation.
Retreating to his villa in Versailles, Rist turned his energies to
the welfare of those closest to him, while in his diary he began to
observe the unfolding of the war. Here the deeply learned Rist
investigates the causes of the disaster and reflects on his
country's fate, placing the behavior of the "people" and the
"elite" in historical perspective. Though well-connected, Rist and
his family and friends were not exempt from the perils and
tragedies of war, as the diary makes clear. Season of Infamy
presents a distinctive, closely-observed view of life in France
under the occupation.
