The edited book covers all major and minor diseases in grain
legumes (chickpea, pigeon pea, lentil, mung bean, common bean,
groundnut, and soybean) and forages legumes (including Medicago,
rice bean, and faba bean) and their control measures by using
various breeding approaches. Grain legumes are versatile
nutritionally rich crops, and are one of the important components
of global food security. However, grain legumes are severely
challenged by various major and emerging minor diseases causing
serious limitations in grain yield and production. Thus, to
minimize the negative impact of the growing yield loss caused by
these diseases, several approaches have been developed and
embraced. This book covers all the latest development in genetics,
breeding, genomics, and molecular biology tools for combating
various major and minor emerging diseases in all the grain legumes
from expert authors. Chapters in this title contain all the
relevant illustrations and statistical data detailing the present
scenario and identifying the gap for meeting the future demand for
sustaining global protein security by developing disease-resistant
cultivars.  This book is of interest to graduate and
postgraduate students, researchers, and policymakers to understand
the impacts of various diseases on yield loss in legume crops.
Energy Management: Conservation and Audit discusses the energy
scenario, including energy conservation, management, and audit,
along with the methodology supported by industrial examples. Energy
economics of systems has been elaborated with concepts of life
cycle assessment and costing, and rate of return. Topics such as
energy storage, co-generation, and waste heat recovery to energy
efficiency have discussed. The challenges faced in conserving
energy sources (steam and electricity) have elaborated along with
the improvements in the lighting sector. Further, it covers
optimization procedures for the development in the industry related
to energy conservation. The researchers, senior undergraduate, and
graduate students focused on Energy Management, Sustainable Energy,
Renewable Energy, Energy Audits, and Energy Conservation. This book
covers current information related to energy management and
includes energy audit and review all the leading equipment
(boilers, CHP, pumps, heat exchangers) as well as procedural
frameworks (energy audits, action planning, monitoring). It
includes energy production and management from an industrial
perspective, along with highlighting the various processes involved
in energy conservation and auditing in various sectors and
associated methods. It also explores future energy options and
directions for energy security and sustainability.

Coordination compounds have been well-known for their wide variety
of applications for over a century, as well as enhancing the
researcher's interest and concern in evaluating their action
mechanism. It is certainly one of the most intensely discussed
research topics. Coordination compounds involve different
metal-ion-ligand phenomenon. The involved metal ions play a
significant role in structural association and functioning of
several processes in the genetic and metabolism system. In recent
years, Schiff base ligands have gained significant interest and
received a keen interest of many researchers. Schiff's base ligands
have been recognized to hold a wide variety of biological and
medicinal activities due to the presence of donor atoms. They have
proved exceptional pharmalogical actions such as antimicrobial,
anti-tuberclosis, antiplatelet, antidiabetic, antiarthritis,
antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antiviral,
antimalarial, and analgesic. These biologically active Schiff base
ligands have also been shown to inhibit enzyme mobilization and,
when bound to a metal ion, exhibit enhanced biological activity,
making them useful in a number of fields. As a result, metal
complexes of Schiff base ligands are gaining popularity due to
their unique properties and functionalities. Schiff base
complex-based research for educational and industrial purposes is
booming, and the number of publications is gradually increasing.
Despite these interests, there is currently no detailed book on
Schiff base metal complexes that covers the structures, biological
activities, and other non-biological perspectives. This book delves
into the structures of Schiff base metal complexes, which are
critical in assessing the biological viability of any complex. It
also highlights their biological significance in pharma and drug
discovery like antibacterial, antifungal, anticancer,
anti-inflammatory, anti-arthritis, anti-diabetic, antioxidants,
anti-proliferative, antitumor, anticancer, antiviral. The
fundamentals of metal complexes are described, as well as an
up-to-date outline of developments in synthesis, characterization
methods, properties- chemical, thermal, optical, structural, and
applications. This book also discusses the other applications of
Schiff base metal complexes: as sensor (luminescent,
electrochemical, and biosensor), as pigments in dying and paint
industries, as photocatalyst to improve the degradation rate.
Features : This book would be useful for academia, researchers and
engineers working in the area of Schiff base and their metal
complexes. This book will give an in-depth account of the
properties of Schiff base and their metal complexes. This book will
discuss the details of synthesis methods for Schiff base and their
metal complexes. This book will cover emerging trends in the use of
Schiff base metal complexes in the industry. This book will provide
an overview of the wider biological applications of Schiff base
metal complexes
This book gathers selected high-quality research papers presented
