This edited book is collection of information on molecular
interventions needed for climate-resilient forage crops. The main
focus is to address the gap in the advanced scientific knowledge
for the forage species. Agriculture is extremely vulnerable to
climate, and even slight change in climatic factors such as
temperature causes tremendous losses in yield potential. Forage
crops are crucial in global food security and environmental
sustainability and face several environmental challenges in field
conditions. However, the research on forage crops is far-off
compared to agricultural crops and causes a substantial gap in
forage demand and productivity. Further, this gap is directly
associated with animal health, reproduction, and productivity.
Abiotic stresses mainly affect the plant's crucial processes,
ultimately reducing the final yield. The problem of abiotic
stresses is more frequent in forage crops as they are growing and
cultivated in less productive soil and harsh conditions. This book
discusses current aspects of crucial physiological, biochemical and
molecular processes in forage crops, which are essential for forage
crops improvement. The text's major focus is on the advanced
technologies and approaches such as seed priming,
bio-fortification, breeding, omics, transgenic and bioengineering
of metabolic pathways in unique ways, which helps us develop
innovative solutions for forage crops. This book covers all the
crucial advance technologies, which help mitigate the abiotic
stresses in forage crops. We believe that this book will initiate
and introduce the readers to state-of-the-art developments and
unique in this field of study. This book is of interest to
teachers, researchers, climate change scientists, capacity
builders, and policymakers. Also, the book serves as additional
reading material for undergraduate and graduate students of
agriculture, forestry, ecology, soil science, and environmental
sciences. National and international agricultural scientists and
policymakers will also find this a worthwhile read.
The diversity of dental ceramics continues to stimulate laboratory
and clinical research. Systems such as Dicor and Empress are now
established, and data regarding the in vitro and in vivo
performance of such restorations have been reported widely.
Modifications to several systems have been suggested or introduced
to overcome certain disadvantages. The potential of the In-Ceram
system remains to be exploited to the full. The diversity and
sophistication of some of the CAD-CAM systems may prove to be
influential in the future. Each system has its own merits, but may
also have shortcomings. Combinations of materials and techniques
are beginning to emerge which aim to exploit the best features of
each. Glass-ceramic and glass-infiltrated alumina blocks for
CAD-CAM restoration production are examples of these and it is
anticipated that this trend is likely to continue....
The objective of this study was to optimize a periodontal drug
delivery system containing antibacterial drugs having synergistic
activity for the treatment of mixed periodontal infections.
Periodontal pockets provide natural reservoir bathed by gingival
crevicular fluid that is easily accessible for the insertion of a
delivery device. Controlled release delivery of antimicrobials
directly into periodontal pockets has received great interest and
appears to hold a sound promise in periodontal therapy. Both
topical drug delivery and controlled drug release have been termed
as local drug delivery. It does not substitute the local
instrumentation but acts as an adjunct to it. The periodic use of
local drug delivery in minimizing bleeding, stabilizing attachment
levels and thereby reducing probing depth, would allow better
control and management of periodontal disease. Various drugs have
been under investigation for more than 3 decades promising
encouraging results. The rationales of using antibacterial drugs
through local delivery into the periodontal pockets have been
discussed.
The objectives of this compilation is to provide an overview of
Transdermal drug delivery system. Here matrix patches of Glipizide
by using different ratio of ethyl cellulose and
polyvinylpyrrolidone K-30 preapared and characterized. The
influence of oleic acid (OA) and its combined effect with propylene
glycol (PG) on the percutaneous permeation of drug was also
studied. All the in- vitro studies were conducted by using
cellophane membrane and human cadaver skin. Data recorded over 24
hr was compared with that for control formulation (containing no
enhancers) using Franz diffusion cells. Stability study and
statistical analysis of data was also done. This book would be
effective for those persons working at initial stage of Transdermal
drug delivry.
