Managing Urban Rivers: From Planning to Practice captures the
different facets of river management required for integrating
rivers within the development landscape of cities in a sustainable
manner. Sections cover the entire spectrum of urban river
management, from planning to actual on-the-ground implementation,
providing a one-stop destination for knowledge on urban river
management. Edited by a team of four experts with practical
experience in this domain, the different chapters of the book are
authored by eminent scholars and practitioners with expertise in
specific areas of urban river management. Urban rivers and their
management is a hot topic as governments across the world are
focusing on this aspect, especially since it has direct
implications for SDG target 6.6, which aims to “protect and
restore water-related ecosystems, including mountains, forests,
wetlands, rivers, aquifers and lakes”.
The book focuses on the integration of intelligent communication
systems, control systems, and devices related to all aspects of
engineering and sciences. It includes high-quality research papers
from the 3rd international conference, ICICCD 2018, organized by
the Department of Electronics, Instrumentation and Control
Engineering at the University of Petroleum and Energy Studies,
Dehradun on 21-22 December 2018. Covering a range of recent
advances in intelligent communication, intelligent control and
intelligent devices., the book presents original research and
findings as well as researchers' and industrial practitioners'
practical development experiences of.
Mangroves are typically tropical coastal ecosystems found in the
inter-tidal zones of river deltas and back water areas. They
represent highly dynamic and fragile ecosystems, yet they are the
most productive and biologically diversified habitats of various
life forms including plants, animals and microorganisms. Mangroves
are a resource of many different products, including;
microorganisms that harbor a diverse group of industrially
important enzymes, antibiotics, therapeutic proteins and vaccines;
timber resistant to rot and insects; and medicinal plants. Divided
into three main parts, Biotechnological Utilization of Mangrove
Resources first provides a broad introduction into mangrove
ecology. Subsequent chapters discuss the biodiversity of mangroves,
including the diverse nature of the organisms within the mangroves
themselves. The final part pays special attention to
biotechnological utilization of mangroves. Topics such as
antimicrobial activity of mangrove-derived products, anti-oxidant
activity of mangrove derived products and pharmaceutical
applications, are covered in detail. Biotechnological Utilization
of Mangrove Resources brings the latest research and technologies
in mangrove biology into one platform, providing readers with an
up-to-date view on the area. This would serve as an excellent
reference book for researchers and students in the field of marine
biology especially interested in mangrove ecosystems.
