Future energy technologies must embrace and achieve sustainability
by displacing fossil carbon-intensive energy consumption or
capture/reuse/sequester fossil carbon. This book provides a deeper
knowledge on individual low (and zero) carbon technologies in a
comprehensive way, covering details of recent developments on these
technologies in different countries. It also covers materials and
processes involved in energy generation, transmission,
distribution, storage, policies, and so forth, including solar
electrical; thermal systems; energy from biomass and biofuels;
energy transmission, distribution, and storage; and buildings using
energy-efficient lighting.

These conference proceedings provide a comprehensive overview of
and in-depth technical information on all possible bioenergy
resources (solid, liquid, and gaseous), including cutting-edge
themes such as advanced fuels and biogas. The book includes current
state-of-the-art topics ranging from feedstocks and cost-effective
conversion processes to biofuels economic analysis and
environmental policy, and features case studies and quizzes for
each section derived from the implementation of actual hands-on
biofuel projects to aid learning. It offers readers a starting
point on this challenging and exciting path. The central concepts
are defined and explained in the context of process applications
under various topics. By focussing on the pertinent fundamental
principles in the environment and energy sciences and by repeatedly
emphasizing the importance of their correlation, it offers a strong
foundation for future study and practice. Learning about
fundamental properties and mechanisms on an ongoing basis is
absolutely essential for long-term professional viability in a
technically vibrant area such as nanotechnology. The book has been
written for undergraduate and graduate students in chemical, energy
and environment engineering. However, selected sections can provide
the basis for courses in civil, mechanical or electrical
engineering. It includes a self-contained presentation of the key
concepts of energy resources, solar thermal and photovoltaic
systems, nuclear energy, biomass conversion technology and
agricultural-waste processing. Throughout it interweaves
descriptive material on sustainable development, clean coal
technology, green technology, solid-waste management and lifecycle
assessments. It offers an introduction to these topics rather than
comprehensive coverage of the themes and their in-depth
fundamentals.

Crop Loan is a financial term, available to the farmers in the form
of short-term credit for financing crop production programmes. It
is one of the essential requirements for the growth of agricultural
production & productivity. In India, more than 50 per cent
population lives in rural areas and approximately 60 per cent
population depends on agriculture. But still agriculture confronts
multiple risk and uncertainty due to lack of scattered land
holdings, traditional mode of production, low use of modern inputs
and technologies and lack of market incentives. This lead
ultimately low yield and farmers demoralized and invest less in it.
Therefore, Agricultural Credit Policy essentially lays emphasis on
augmenting credit flow at the ground level through credit planning,
adoption of region-specific strategies, rationalization of lending
policies and procedures and bringing down the cost of borrowing and
ultimately to provide better access to institutional credit for
small and marginal farmers to enable them so as to adopt modern
technology and induce them for the investment in agriculture.
This book presents an up-to-date account and recent advances in
Medical Microbiology. It attempts a fundamental approach to the
subject matter by presenting information necessary to understand
the subject. Microbiology for Medical Sciences explains
microbiological concepts that apply to health-related profession
and many other fields such as Medicine, Dentistry, Nursing,
Microbiology, Biotechnology, Medical Lab Technology and Laboratory
Biomedical Scientists involved in the care of patients and
protection against infectious diseases. The book is organized in
seven sections: Fundamentals of Microbiology, Immunology for
Microbiology, Systemic Bacteriology, Miscellaneous Microbes and
Fungal Pathogens, Applied Medical Microbiology and Pathogenic
Viruses and Associated Diseases and Diagnostic Technology.
