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.

Nanotechnology has shown great potential in all spheres of life. With the increasing pressure to meet the food demands of rapidly increasing population, thus, novel innovation and research are required in agriculture. The principles of nanotechnology can be implemented to meet the challenges faced by agricultural demands. Major challenges include the loss of nutrients in the soil and nutrient-deficient plants, which result in a lower crop yield and quality. Subsequently, consumption of such crops leads to malnourishment in humans, especially in underprivileged and rural populations. One convenient approach to tackle nutrient deficiency in plants is via the use of fertilizers; however, this method suffers from lower uptake efficiency in plants. Another approach to combat nutrient deficiency in humans is via the use of supplements and diet modifications; however, these approaches are less affordably viable in economically challenged communities and in rural areas. Therefore, the use of nano-fertilizers to combat this problem holds the greatest potential. Additionally, nanotechnology can be used to meet other challenges in agriculture including enhancing crop yield, protection from insect pests and animals, and by use of nano-pesticides and nano-biosensors to carry out the remediation of polluted soils. The future use of nanomaterials in soil ecosystems will be influenced by their capability to interact with soil constituents and the route of nanoparticles into the environment includes both natural and anthropogenic sources. The last decade has provided increasing research on the impact and use of nanoparticles in plants, animals, microbes, and soils, and yet these studies often lacked data involving the impact of nanoparticles on biotic and abiotic stress factors. This book provides significant recent research on the use of nano-fertilizers, which can have a major impact on components of an ecosystem. This work should provide a basis to further study these potential key areas in order to achieve sustainable and safe application of nanoparticles in agriculture.

Inventory is any kind of resource that is stocked to satisfy the present and future needs of any organization. Fred Hansman has defined Inventory as "An idle resource of any kind provided such a resource has economic value." Such resources may be classified into three categories: physical resources such as raw materials, semi-finished goods, finished goods, spare parts, lubricants etc, human resources such as unused labour and finance resources such as working capital etc. Inventory of resources is held to provide desirable service to users and to achieve sales turnover target. Though inventory of materials is an idle resource it is not meant for immediate use, but it is almost essential to maintain some inventories for the smooth and efficient functioning of an enterprise. Investment in large inventories adversely affect an organization's cash flow and working capital as investment in inventory represents substantial portion of the total capital investment in any business. Hence it is very much essential to balance the advantage of having inventory of resources and the cost of maintaining it so as to determine an optimal level of inventory of each resource.

The need for efficient content-based image retrieval has increased hugely. Efficient and effective retrieval techniques of images are desired because of the explosive growth of digital images. Content based image retrieval (CBIR) is a promising approach because of its automatic indexing retrieval based on their semantic features and visual appearance. In CBIR (Content-Based Image Retrieval), visual features such as shape, color and texture are extracted to characterize images. Each of the features is represented using one or more feature descriptors. During the retrieval, features and descriptors of the query are compared to those of the images in the database in order to rank each indexed image according to its distance to the query The similarity of images depends on the feature representation.However users have difficulties in representing their information needs in queries to content based image retrieval systems.

This Book presents techniques taken from ancient Vedic system that helps to do calculations much faster than the normal techniques. The book is helpful for students in school as well as for those planning to appear in competitive exams such as SAT, GMAT, CAT, NTSE, Olympiad and other competitive examinations. To demonstrate the practical application sample problems from these exams are solved using Vedic techniques in this book.
