Sustainable food production is vital to ensure food and nutritional
security to growing human population. Recently, there has been a
shift in agricultural production system, crop production is not
only considering yield as primary interest to produce higher number
of calories for reducing hunger, but also more nutrient-rich food
to reduce malnutrition or “hidden hunger”. Micronutrient
malnutrition is a continuing and serious public health problem in
many countries, various Interventions to alleviate this problem
have been implemented. Biofortification, the process of breeding
nutrients into food crops, provides a comparatively cost effective,
sustainable, and long-term means of delivering more micronutrients.
Legumes have higher protein content than most plant foods
approximately twice than cereals and are rich in the key
micronutrients folate, niacin, thiamine, calcium, iron and
zinc. This book summarizes the biofortification of legumes.
Detailed information through contributed chapters shed light on
legumes research relevant to human health, with key topics that
include genomic and genetic resources for food security,
conventional and modern breeding approaches for improving
nutrition, agronomic traits and biotechnological interventions.
This edited book summarizes the efforts made to develop sustainable
bioenergy production through different generations. The topics
included in the book cover information about different bioenergy
crops, their classification and use as biofuel, agronomic practices
to improve biomass yield, classic breeding techniques, genetic
diversity, current status and future perspective of bioenergy crops
in the omics era. It also discusses application of modern
biotechnological and molecular biotechnological techniques for the
improvement of bioenergy crops this having enhanced biomass and
plant based products. The book explores growing biofuel
crops and their impact on environment, bioethics and biosafety
issues related to the modern approaches. Another important aspect
is the incorporation of nanotechnology for bioenergy crops and
biofuel production. All book chapters are contributed renowned
researchers in their respective field. This is a unique book
covering the bioeneragy crops in the modern omics era. The book is
useful for the researchers and post-graduate students to guide them
in the field of bioenergy crops.
The authors evaluated usability of digital libraries and selected
BTH digital library system as a case study. As BTH offers a lot of
e-resources but users still feel difficulty in accessing these
e-resources and services. The goal of this research study is to
explain the importance of usability in digital libraries and as
well to measure user satisfaction level regarding usability of BTH
digital library system. These problems are identified by using
different usability evaluation techniques with different criteria
and possible suggestions for improvements have been given in this
research work. Usability testing (Think aloud protocol) and
usability inquiry (questionnaires, interviews) methods were used in
usability evaluation of BTH digital library system. Usability
evaluation has been done by selection of different usability
evaluation criteria namely Satisfaction, Memorability,
Learnability, Efficiency, Effectiveness, Aesthetic, Reliability,
Simplicity, Visibility, User Friendly, Relevancy and Easiness.
