"Water and Health" strengthens the dynamic relationship between human health and water. The book has the potential to ignite our minds about several water-related diseases due to biological and chemical contamination, and to their high-end solutions. The contents are original, comprehensive and highly informative, and gradually take the reader around the component most important to his or her quality life, and not just existence. The book is set in social, scientific and economic dimensions, and is a must read for all those who cherish and celebrate human life and dignity.
This book highlights the state-of-the-art research on data usage, security, and privacy in the scenarios of the Internet of Things (IoT), along with related applications using Machine Learning and Big Data technologies to design and make efficient Internet-compatible IoT systems. ICT and Data Sciences brings together IoT and Machine Learning and provides the careful integration of both, along with many examples and case studies. It illustrates the merging of two technologies while presenting basic to high-level concepts covering different fields and domains such as the Hospitality and Tourism industry, Smart Clothing, Cyber Crime, Programming, Communications, Business Intelligence, all in the context of the Internet of Things. The book is written for researchers and practitioners, working in Information Communication Technology and Computer Science.

Pesticides: Human Health, Environmental Impacts and Management considers microbial degradation and environmental management of pesticides, covers microbial options as an alternative to chemical pesticides, explores plant-microbe interactions for reduced applications of pesticides in the agricultural fields, discusses the enhancement of microbial pesticides degradation, explains function of engineered microorganisms for effective pesticide degradation, describes potential indigenous/effective microbes for effective pesticide degradation processes, and presents research on microbes for sustainable agricultural and environmental practices.
This book provides an overview of the applications of ion beam techniques in oxide materials. Oxide materials exhibit defect-induced physical properties relevant to applications in sensing, optoelectronics and spintronics. Defects in these oxide materials also lead to magnetism in non-magnetic materials or to a change of magnetic ordering in magnetic materials. Thus, an understanding of defects is of immense importance. To date, ion beam tools are considered the most effective techniques for producing controlled defects in these oxides. This book will detail the ion beam tools utilized for creating defects in oxides.
Defect Induced Magnetism in Oxide Semiconductors provides an overview on the latest advances of defect engineering to create new magnetic materials and enable new technological applications. Sections introduce the mechanisms, behavior and theory of magnetism in oxide semiconductors and review methods of inducing magnetism in these materials. Then, strategies such as pulsed laser deposition and RF sputtering to grow oxide nanostructured materials with induced magnetism are discussed. This is followed by a review of the most relevant post-deposition methods to induce magnetism in oxide semiconductors, including annealing, ion irradiation, and ion implantation. Examples of defect induced magnetism in oxide semiconductors are then provided, along with selected applications. This title will be suitable reference for researchers in academia and practitioners in research and development in industry working in the disciplines of materials science and engineering.
Humanity is facing a colossal problem due to a population explosion and the relentless exploitation of natural resources. Biotechnology is one of the most cutting edge fields of technology, which has the prospective to address some of the worlds paramount challenges, such as feeding a rising population and offering novel alternatives to our limited natural resources. The ultimate objective of biotechnology is to meet human requirements in order to improve our quality of life. Due to progressive and comprehensive research and development, the prominence of biotechnology has come into existence. It is widely used in agriculture, medicine, engineering, science, technology and other forms of applications, and can be harnessed as a panacea for the problems of mankind. Apart from the research in the field concerning transgenic animals and plants, use of various microorganism derived products in microbiology has changed the way biotic and abiotic components of the Earth interact. This book shows how the use of biotechnology is evolving and expanding, highlighting the methods that can prove to positively affect our future and planet.
