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.
