The prime aim of the conference is to invite researchers from different domains of network and communication technologies to a single platform to showcase their research ideas. The selected papers are organized in topical sections on network and computing technologies; wireless networks and Internet of Things (IoT); futuristic computing technologies; communication technologies, security and privacy.

Phytochemical research took shape with the isolation of morphine by F.W. Seturner in 1805. This book includes about 290 phytopharmaceuticals giving their characterization and structure elucidation by modern instrumental methods like UV, IR, HNMR 13C NMR, Ms, HRMS, X-Ray, biosynthesis and synthesis. The book though written for M.Pharm. Pharmacognosy will, however, also found useful as a reference by researchers in natural product chemistry in ICMR units, National Laboratories and pharmaceutical industry the world over.

Oral health is an integral part of general health. An improvement in the oral health may play an integral role in improving the general health, adequate instructions in proper care of the teeth and oral tissues is thus essential. It is the responsibility of the health system to provide proper information about maintenance of oral health and available health facilities for general and oral health. In turn the community should use these facilities for their general and oral health betterment. This community is neglected like the old age people by the society and profession. Even though new found sporadic attention is given to this population with medical facility almost nil attention is given for their oral health care. The prisoners also deserve equal rights for their health attention. Keeping the above matter in consideration a specific oral health survey has been taken up on the inmates of prisoners of Lucknow prison in state of Uttar Pradesh to assess their oral health status so that needed treatment can be planned accordingly by concerned authorities.

This book comprises of my research work which was carried out in Kothiwal dental college, research centre & hospital, moradabad, india. In this research work a new surgical technique was followed for surgical closure of oroantral fistula using collagen membrane and demineralized bovine bone graft and bone formation was evaluated. Oroantral fistula is a pathologic communication between oral cavity and maxillary antrum and persistence of which can cause serious problems to patients thus immediate closure is desirable. Although various surgical procedures had been advocated for closure of oroantral fistula, this technique has advantage over traditional method as their is Bone formation in the fistula site thus in future endosseous implants can be placed for rehabilitation of the patients.The bone formed by using these grafts is of good quality and have significant strength for implant placement.Furthermore studies using greater sample sizes are required to establish this new technique, the technique is very promising in future prospects .This research work was carried out obeying all the ethical prinicples.

Seven phosphate solubilising bacteria, belonging to Enterobacteriaceae family, capable of utilizing Xylose and rock phosphate as the sole carbon and phosphate source were isolated by enrichment culture method. This PSB exhibited mineral phosphate solubilising (MPS) phenotype on xylose and glucose, which are substrates for enzyme glucose dehydrogenase (GDH), as carbon sources. The isolates secreted formic acid and xylonic acid by utilizing xylose. In all the isolates, GDH activity was found when grown on Glucose and Xylose, indicating that it is constitutive and could act on a wide range of aldose sugars. PFL enzyme activity in all xylose utilizing cells was higher, since PFL is a marker of anaerobic conditions thus all the isolates were facultative anaerobes. Efficiency of the isolates for phosphorus solubilization in natural environments was further confirmed by pot experiments on mung bean plants.

Several alternative fuels like hydrogen, CNG, LNG, producer gas, biogas, alcohols, vegetable oils etc. are being explored around the globe with a view to supplement fuels and reduce environmental pollution. The alcohol fuels could not be exploited on a large scale because the petroleum fuels were abundant, cheap and easy to produce. Several vegetable oils are being produced in the country. Among vegetable oils rice bran oil can be used as CI engine fuel. Rice bran oil and its ester have been used satisfactorily for partial replacement of the diesel fuel. Use of vegetable oil and ethanol blend gave satisfactory results. But ester of vegetable oil and ethanol has never been used before as fuel in CI engines. The concept of employing alcohol especially ethanol with ester of vegetable oils as a fuel in engines is totally new and revolutionary. This study helped to assess the feasibility of using blend of rice bran oil methyl ester and ethanol as fuel in a diesel engine.

Availability of large number of disease free genuine planting material is a major constraint in expanding area under pomegranate cultivation for which tissue culture can be explored as an alternative tool to fulfil the demand for elite planting material. In the first part of the study an efficient in vitro propagation protocol for pomegranate cv. G-137 (a superior clone of "Ganesh") has been developed. Improper hardening of in vitro raised plantlets leads to high field mortality and poor growth of plantlets which act as a hurdle in popularization of in vitro propagation in pomegranate. So, in the second part of the study four different arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) strains namely, Glomus mosseae, Acaulospora laevis, Glomus manihotis and a mixed AMF strain were used as biohardening agents to improve survival and growth of in vitro raised pomegranate plantlets. The above said AMF strains were also used in this study to enhance the performance of pomegranate hardwood cuttings in terms of high success rate and subsequently improved growth, physiological and biochemical attributes of cutting derived plants.
