Plants often encounter abiotic stresses including drought,
salinity, flooding, high/low temperatures, and metal toxicity,
among others. The majority of these stresses occur simultaneously
and thus limit crop production. Therefore, the need of the hour is
to improve the abiotic stresses tolerance of crop plants by
integrating physiology, omics, and modern breeding approaches. This
book covers various aspects including (1) abiotic stress responses
in plants and progress made so far in the allied areas for trait
improvements, (2) integrates knowledge gained from basic physiology
to advanced omics tools to assist new breeding technologies, and
(3) discusses key genes, proteins, and metabolites or pathways for
developing new crop varieties with improved tolerance traits.

Written for sleep technologists, Clinical Atlas of Polysomnography
provides basic information regarding normal sleep, sleep disorders,
and electrophysiology that is outside of the scope of the AASM
manual (AASM Manual for the Scoring of Sleep and Associated
Events). It aims to act as a guide through the fundamental aspects
of, for example, types of overnight sleep study, establishing a
sleep laboratory, preparing the patient for a sleep evaluation
study, placement of electrodes and leads, and the scientific
aspects of such placement, i.e., why they are placed at that
particular position. This information will be very useful in those
parts of the globe where formal training in sleep technology is not
yet available. Many further chapters focus on depicting real-time
illustrations of sleep data as captured in the sleep laboratory and
the scoring of recording data. Information regarding common
montages, artifacts, and troubleshooting in the sleep laboratory
will facilitate the reader’s journey as a trainee sleep
technologist. While scoring sleep recordings, the "When you score
the data" histogram can provide a great deal of useful information,
and this has been explained in detail in this book. Most
importantly, it is prudent to be able to write reports that are
both informative and easy to understand by physicians who do not
have advanced knowledge of sleep medicine. A chapter has been
dedicated to explaining this in detail. Lastly, the authors have
provided ready-made forms, questionnaires, and documents that can
either be used as they are or with some modifications. This
up-to-date and comprehensive volume will be an invaluable guide for
technicians and physicians who wish to practice sleep medicine and
will be useful for sleep technology and physician training
programs. The volume is intended to complement, not be a substitute
for, the AASM scoring manual, as many areas that are covered in the
manual are not covered here.
It is compiled by a number of renowned contributors who are
distinguishable and adept in their field. This book will give
insight into health problems of adolescents, and shall help in
planning and implementing the strategies to control and prevent HIV
and AIDS in a more effective manner. The first few chapters deal
with the description, transmission and socio-demographic location
of HIV/AIDS in adolescents. The next few chapters associate with
the health and behavioral aspects of the adolescent, and with the
medical, psychological and legal aspects of STDs and HIV/AIDS. The
last few describes the measures/programmes taken for care,
precautions and control by the government and the related agencies.
Formalized by the tenth century, the expansive Bhagavata Purana
resists easy categorization. While the narrative holds together as
a coherent literary work, its language and expression compete with
the best of Sanskrit poetry. The text's theological message focuses
on devotion to Krishna or Vishnu, and its philosophical outlook is
grounded in the classical traditions of Vedanta and Samkhya. No
other Purana has inspired so much commentary, imitation, and
derivation. The work has grown in vibrancy through centuries of
performance, interpretation, worship, and debate and has guided the
actions and meditations of elite intellectuals and everyday
worshippers alike. This annotated translation and detailed analysis
shows how one text can have such enduring appeal. Key selections
from the Bhagavata Purana are faithfully translated, while all
remaining sections of the Purana are concisely summarized,
providing the reader with a continuous and comprehensive narrative.
Detailed endnotes explain unfamiliar concepts and several essays
elucidate the rich philosophical and religious debates found in the
Sanskrit commentaries. Together with the multidisciplinary readings
contained in the companion volume The Bhagavata Purana: Sacred Text
and Living Tradition (Columbia, 2013), this book makes a central
Hindu masterpiece more accessible to English-speaking audiences and
more meaningful to scholars of Hindu literature, philosophy, and
religion.
A vibrant example of living literature, the Bhagavata Purana is
a versatile Hindu sacred text written in Sanskrit verse. Finding
its present form by the tenth century C.E., the work inspired
several major north Indian devotional (bhakti) traditions as well
as schools of dance and drama, and continues to permeate popular
Hindu art and ritual in both India and the diaspora.
Introducing the Bhagavata Purana's key themes while also
examining its extensive influence on Hindu thought and practice,
this collection conducts the first multidimensional reading of the
entire text. Each essay focuses on a key theme of the Bhagavata
Purana and its subsequent presence in Hindu theology, performing
arts, ritual recitation, and commentary. The authors consider the
relationship between the sacred text and the divine image, the
text's metaphysical and cosmological underpinnings, its shaping of
Indian culture, and its ongoing relevance to contemporary Indian
concerns.
