This book provides a comprehensive overview of recent research on
estuaries of the east coast of India, and how changing
biogeochemical dynamics as a result of climate change and human
activity have impacted estuaries and other open water ecosystems.
Though estuaries only cover a very small portion of the earth's
hydrosphere, they are some of the most biogeochemically active
regions among the global water bodies. As such, this book focuses
on estuaries of the east coast of India going all the way to the
Bay of Bengal, which is the world's largest freshwater input from
perennial rivers and rain-fed estuaries, and is therefore a unique
area of study. Through its unique coverage of the Bay of Bengal in
particular, the book presents a new perspective not present in the
literature on estuary biogeochemistry and ecosystem dynamics.
Moreover, the book addresses SDG 13 (Climate Action) and 14 (Life
below Water), with a focus on ecosystem services of the natural
aquatic system.The book will be useful to researchers, policy
makers, coastal managers and marine sustainability scientists and
organizations.
This book gives an overview of various aspects of blue carbon
dynamics from each country bordering the Indian Ocean. Given the
importance of the topic of blue carbon, it can be assumed that in
near future, more and more researchers from the Indian Ocean
countries will pursue environmental research in this domain. This
book is a ready reference to all those who are interested to have a
holistic understanding about the ground scenario of blue carbon in
the Indian Ocean. There are many research institutes situated in
the periphery of the Indian Ocean that are devoted to nurturing the
new avenues of marine carbon research. Researchers and scholars
interested in this domain will find this book provides a good
overview, wherein all the necessary information on the status and
functioning of these blue carbon ecosystems are detailed in a
concise way. The book is also helpful to postgraduate students of
'marine science' or those who have a specialization in 'marine
biogeochemistry' or 'chemical oceanography' to develop a basic
understanding about the very concept of 'blue carbon' from the
perspective of the Indian Ocean.
This book presents and discusses recent developments in the broad
field of spectroscopy, providing the reader with an updated
overview. The main objective is to introduce them to recent
innovations and current trends in spectroscopy applied to molecules
and materials. The book also brings together experimentalists and
theoreticians to highlight the multidimensional aspects of
spectroscopy and discuss the latest issues. Accordingly, it
provides insights not only into the general goals of spectroscopy,
but also into how the various spectroscopic techniques represent a
toolbox that can be used to gain a more detailed understanding of
molecular systems and complex chemical problems. Besides technical
aspects, basic theoretical interpretations of spectroscopic results
are also presented. The spectroscopy techniques discussed include
UV-visible absorption spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, IR
absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, and
time-resolved spectroscopy. In turn, basic tools like lasers and
theoretical modeling approaches are also presented. Lastly,
applications for the characterization of fundamental properties of
molecules (environmental aspects, biomolecules, pharmaceutical
drugs, hazardous molecules, etc.) and materials (nanomaterials,
nuclear chemistry materials, biomaterials, etc.) are discussed.
Given its scope, the book offers a valuable resource for
researchers from various branches of science, and presents new
techniques that can be applied to their specific problems.

and survey papers in mathematical analysis that cover a broad range
of areas including approximation theory, operator theory,
fixed-point theory, function spaces, complex analysis, geometric
and univalent function theory, control theory, fractional calculus,
special functions, operation research, theory of inequalities,
equilibrium problem, Fourier and wavelet analysis, mathematical
physics, graph theory, stochastic orders and numerical analysis.
Some chapters of the book discuss the applications to real-life
situations. This book will be of value to researchers and
students associated with the field of pure and applied mathematics.

This book aims to give a holistic overview of the pond ecosystem of
Indian Sundarbans. Due to climate change, the Indian Sundarbans
faces several challenges. With rising sea levels, islands are
disappearing and the increasing salinity in the water and soil has
severely threatened the health of mangrove forests and the quality
of fresh water, soil and crops. Additionally, there have been
serious disturbances to hydrological parameters in the lotic as
well lentic ecosystems. This book provides new insights into lentic
ecosystem-oriented research in the deltaic ecosystem of GBM-I
(Ganga-Brahmaputra-Meghna, Indian Delta). The major findings from
various research works are brought together, and the gaps and
future possible ways forward are outlined. The book addresses the
SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), SDG 13 (Climate Action) and SDG
14 (Life below Water), with a focus on the ecosystem services of
ponds in the Indian Sundarbans. Despite there being many studies on
riverine water, ground water and mangrove ecosystems of the Indian
Sundarbans, this book offers new insights into the pond ecosystem
of the Indian Sundarbans. The outcomes from this book can be
utilized by researchers from the inland fisheries sector,
environmental managers, professionals, and those who seek to
develop ways for making pond ecosystems sustainable.

Bangladesh is one of the most vulnerable countries for trafficking
in South Asia because of its large population, large-scale
rural-urban migration, the large population living in conditions of
chronic poverty, and recurrent natural disasters. Women are sold,
traded, and exchanged for sexual slavery and prostitution, and
bonded labor across borders, such as from Bangladesh to India,
Pakistan, and the Middle East. Trafficking, this is a serious
problem and is considered a violation of human rights. For this
reason, current study examined the post trafficking living
situation picture under the aegis of different parameter.
Furthermore, in order to get possible solution for these inhuman
activities, the study took into victim's opinion on different
grounds as well.
Over the last few decades assessment of world sanitation status as
well as its adverse consequences of poor sanitation on human life
from different corners of the world, at heart it can be recognized
by all walks of life the true significance of practicing
sustainable sanitation in life. Therefore, in order to give proper
importance of sanitation accessibility to all and terrific risk
factors both for human beings as well as environment, the United
Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) sets the target of
halving the percentage of people without safe water and basic
sanitation by the year 2015, and now a biggest national priority
for Bangladesh as well. And this work provides well and truly a
field base scenario of sanitation status and it's not half impact
under different perspectives on slum dwellers in Khulna city,
Bangladesh and elaborately pictorial appraisal of ongoing and past
sanitation management interventions. Furthermore, this study
recommends chalking out and planning of fail-safe fundamental
sustainable sanitation aspects prior or at the designing stage of
the management in consultation as well as direct participation of
the focus community "Slum dweller."
