This informative book focuses on the nutritional value of potatoes
and ways to improve it. With the world reeling under the burden of
an ever-growing population, there is a pressing need for affordable
and nutritious staples to feed the billions. Potatoes are grown in
a broad range of countries around the world and can substantially
contribute to future food security. Given the increasing
consumption of potatoes, there is a need for a book that compiles
information on and raises awareness of their nutritional value,
while also encouraging their consumption. The respective chapters
of this book cover the chemical composition, structure and health
benefits of potatoes, as well as genetic modifications used to
alter the concentration of relevant chemical compounds in them. The
book provides an overview of potatoes as a nutrient-dense crop, and
discusses important aspects such as the role of potatoes in human
diet, how they can improve the overall health of individuals, their
role in addressing malnutrition etc. Its chapters deal with topics
such as carbohydrates and glycemic index, dietary fibers, vitamins,
proteins, phenols, carotenoids, anthocyanins, minerals, lipids,
glycoalkaloids, new health-promoting compounds, the composition and
utilization of potato peel, nutritional significance of potato
products, and potato probiotics. Given its scope, the book will be
of interest to undergraduate students, graduate students and
researchers in plant physiology and biochemistry, plant genetic
engineering, the food sciences and agriculture, as well as industry
partners in related fields.

This book presents innovative research works to demonstrate the
potential and the advancements of computing approaches to utilize
healthcare centric and medical datasets in solving complex
healthcare problems. Computing technique is one of the key
technologies that are being currently used to perform medical
diagnostics in the healthcare domain, thanks to the abundance of
medical data being generated and collected. Nowadays, medical data
is available in many different forms like MRI images, CT scan
images, EHR data, test reports, histopathological data and doctor
patient conversation data. This opens up huge opportunities for the
application of computing techniques, to derive data-driven models
that can be of very high utility, in terms of providing effective
treatment to patients. Moreover, machine learning algorithms can
uncover hidden patterns and relationships present in medical
datasets, which are too complex to uncover, if a data-driven
approach is not taken. With the help of computing systems, today,
it is possible for researchers to predict an accurate medical
diagnosis for new patients, using models built from previous
patient data. Apart from automatic diagnostic tasks, computing
techniques have also been applied in the process of drug discovery,
by which a lot of time and money can be saved. Utilization of
genomic data using various computing techniques is another emerging
area, which may in fact be the key to fulfilling the dream of
personalized medications. Medical prognostics is another area in
which machine learning has shown great promise recently, where
automatic prognostic models are being built that can predict the
progress of the disease, as well as can suggest the potential
treatment paths to get ahead of the disease progression.

Pinky Cole—founder of the wildly successful restaurant chain
Slutty Vegan—takes you back to your moments that seemed hopeless
to help you discover how filled with possibility they really were.
We've all been told we can't do it. That we're not enough. That we
grew up in the wrong neighborhood or had the wrong parents or made
the wrong choices. That we can't be anything but a failure. . .What
they don't tell you is that every obstacle and mess-up in your life
has only prepared you for success. Pinky has spent her life
dreaming of financial security. After a fire destroyed the New York
City restaurant she put everything into building, she was back to
square one, working hard for someone else's dream. Her life has
been a series of lessons that have given her the tools to build a
business that drew the attention of some of the world's top
investors. In I Hope You Fail, Pinky tells her own story to empower
you in yours. She'll share her ten counter-intuitive hopes for you,
including: I hope you don't believe in yourself. . .because the
journey to discovering who you truly are is the key to unlocking
the life you want. I hope you don't get that raise. . .because
money doesn't equal respect, but it can show you how much you are
truly valued at work. I hope the customers don't show up. . .so you
can have the feedback you need to reevaluate your approach and find
one that works. Filled with practical advice and motivational
gut-punches, I Hope You Fail will teach you how to learn from your
WTF moments and find fuel in your losses.
This is a daily devotional and motivational wellness book designed
for your total renewal. The path to physical, mental, and spiritual
well-being outlined in this book is a way of life-a unique approach
to wellness. The regimen includes forty days of prayer, Scripture,
and counts (repetitions) of physical exercise. Included are unique
diet plans designed to root you in self-control and discipline and
a plan that will renew your mind and enter you into an
extraordinary life. I do not believe that overeating is the only
reason why most people are overweight. I think that lack of
self-control and discipline are at the root of the problem. I hope
that you take complete advantage of all that this book has to offer
since it was created to help you develop the tools to defeat
temptation of all kinds, promote good habits, and give you
extraordinary results. If you follow the forty-day plan to its
fullest, the possibilities are endless.This book is for all those
who are able to include physical exercise in their everyday lives
but keep making excuses for not exercising and for those people who
may be physically challenged, confined to the bed, or need a less
strenuous exercise program. The 40-Count Plan is about you, with
God's help, developing healthier habits in your daily routine and
creating a physically mentally, and spiritually healthier you.
AMAZON TREASURE She's in Brazil on a secret mission for her
father... A quiet, conservative teacher who's lived in one small
Virginian town all her life, Marisa Elliott plunges into a
desperate adventure when she meets Scott Dunbar a devilishly
handsome pilot, who is apparently down on his luck. Marissa tells
him she's searching for her Confederate ancestors who fled to
Brazil during the Civil War. She persuades him to take her far into
the jungles of the Amazon, but she doesn't tell him her relatives
have offered to give back the bank money they absconded with so
long ago-money her father wants her to bring home to clear the
Elliott name. He has an agenda all his own.... Once burned in a bad
marriage, Scott Dunbar hates commitment of any kind. To him, work
is a four-letter word. He wants Marissa, though he knows she's not
the kind of girl to settle for a one night stand. Or is she? He's
hiding something, but then, so is she. He just can't figure out
what. Is she really here to find her missing relatives? Or is her
mission something much more sinister?
The large-scale production of chemicals to meet various societal
needs has created environmental pollution, including pollution from
byproducts and improper disposal of waste. With the world facing
adverse consequences due to this pollution, green chemistry is
increasingly being viewed as a means to address this concern. Since
most organic syntheses require toxic solvents, more reaction time,
and drastic conditions of temperature, conventional methods of
organic synthesis are less preferred. Microwave-assisted organic
synthesis is considered to be a promising green chemical approach
because it reduces reaction time from days or hours to minutes or
even seconds, and has many other advantages. It helps reduce side
reactions and increase yields, uses fewer solvents or is almost
solvent-free, has solid supported reactions, and improves purity.
This book's main focus is microwave-assisted organic synthesis
processes, particularly various reactions such as cycloaddition,
rearrangement, elimination, substitution, oxidation, reduction,
condensation, coupling, polymerization, nanomaterials, synthesis of
heterocycles, and industrial applications under microwave
irradiation. The time is not far off when this methodology will
virtually replace existing and cumbersome methods of organic
synthesis.
The Violence of Recognition offers an unprecedented firsthand
account of the operations of Hindu nationalists and their role in
sparking the largest incident of anti-Christian violence in
India’s history. Through vivid ethnographic storytelling, Pinky
Hota explores the roots of ethnonationalist conflict between two
historically marginalized groups—the Kandha, who are Adivasi
(tribal people considered indigenous in India), and the Paana, a
community of Christian Dalits (previously referred to as
“untouchables”). Hota documents how Hindutva mobilization led
to large-scale violence, culminating in attacks against many
thousands of Paana Dalits in the district of Kandhamal in 2008.
Bringing indigenous studies as well as race and ethnic studies into
conversation with Dalit studies, Hota shows that, despite attempts
to frame these ethnonationalist tensions as an indigenous
population’s resistance against disenfranchisement, Kandha
hostility against the Paana must be understood as anti-Christian,
anti-Dalit violence animated by racial capitalism. Hota’s
analysis of caste in relation to race and religion details how
Hindu nationalists exploit the singular and exclusionary legal
recognition of Adivasis and the putatively liberatory,
anti-capitalist discourse of indigeneity in order to justify
continued oppression of Dalits—particularly those such as the
Paana. Because the Paana lost their legal protection as recognized
minorities (Scheduled Caste) upon conversion to Christianity, they
struggle for recognition within the Indian state’s classificatory
scheme. Within the framework of recognition, Hota shows,
indigeneity works as a political technology that reproduces the
political, economic, and cultural exclusion of landless
marginalized groups such as Dalits. The Violence of Recognition
reveals the violent implications of minority recognition in
creating and maintaining hierarchies of racial capitalism.
