Stem Cells: An Alternative Therapy for COVID-19 and Cytokine Storm provides mechanistic insights into the role of stem cells to combat COVID-19 outbreak and other pathologies where cytokines storm is the cause of concern for e.g., radiation exposure, multiple organ failure and sepsis. There has been an increase in number of cases of new diseases in the last decade, including mucormycosis, Zika virus, H1N1 influenza virus, among others. These diseases can be characterized by the induction of cytokine storm, which is mainly responsible for morbidity and mortality. Stem cell therapy has emerged as a potential treatment for viral diseases, including, but not limited to, COVID-19. Interestingly, clinical trials in patients with COVID-19 complications depicted faster recovery in patients post mesenchymal stem cells therapy owing to the decreased cytokines levels, anti-viral effects and regeneration of the infected tissue.

The book adopts an application-oriented approach for ecorestoration of coalmine degraded. The theoretical aspects of ecorestoration, and steps involved in ecorestoration process and experimental aspects of thorough analytical procedures have been discussed in detail. It emphasizes on the types of mining, land degradation, and biodiversity conservation while giving details of technical and biological steps, topsoil management, selection of plant species, seeding, nursery practices; adoption of innovative approaches like mulching, biofertlizer application, hydroseeding, superabsorbent; use of grass-legume mix; monitoring and aftercare of reclaimed sites; the indicators of sustainable ecorestoration; and Rules and Acts implemented and followed across the world. Best ecorestoration practices, mine closure issues, collection, laboratory analysis and interpretation of minesoil and topsoil samples, monitoring biological parameters, litterfall and tree growth analysis, erosion management, design of drainage and sedimentation retention basin, and brief description of tree species with identifying character for field people are all part of the book. [Message by Prominent Academician] It is now urgent that methods of coal mining be integrated with engineering for ecorestoration because the larger society will not accept devastated waste land. A book, coming out from the hands of one of the persistent researchers of the field, cannot be more timely.

The technique of elastic scattering of electromagnetic radiation has been used as a diagnostic tool in various disciplines of science,engineering,medicine and agriculture.The investigations relating to above problems may be divided in three categories:(i)Scattering by a single particle,(ii)Scattering by a tenuous system of uncorrelated scatterers and (iii)Scattering by a concentrated dispersion of scatterers.In the proposed book,the primary effort is to examine the analytic solutions of the scattering problems of types (i) and (ii) in diverse backgrounds.For the completeness of the book,analytic solutions in scattering situations of type (iii) are also covered in reasonable details.

Bio-Geotechnologies for Mine Site Rehabilitation deals with the biological, physical, chemical, and engineering approaches necessary for the reclamation of mine waste. As mining has negative effects on natural resources and deteriorates the quality of the surrounding environment, this book provides coverage across different types of mining industries, which are currently creating industrial deserts overloaded with technogenic waste. The book offers cost-effective strategies and approaches for contaminated sites, along with remediation and rehabilitation methods for contaminated soils and waste dumps. It is an essential resource for students and academics, but is also ideal for applied professionals in environmental geology, mineral geologists, biotechnologists and policymakers.

In modern computer science, there exists no truly sequential computing system; and most advanced programming is parallel programming. This is particularly evident in modern application domains like scientific computation, data science, machine intelligence, etc. This lucid introductory textbook will be invaluable to students of computer science and technology, acting as a self-contained primer to parallel programming. It takes the reader from introduction to expertise, addressing a broad gamut of issues. It covers different parallel programming styles, describes parallel architecture, includes parallel programming frameworks and techniques, presents algorithmic and analysis techniques and discusses parallel design and performance issues. With its broad coverage, the book can be useful in a wide range of courses; and can also prove useful as a ready reckoner for professionals in the field.

Mechanical Vibration is the study of oscillatory motions of mechanical system. It is both useful and harmful for engineering systems. Sometimes, it is profitably used in musical instruments, propagation of sound etc. On the other hand, excessive vibration causes damage to buildings and rapid wear of machine parts such as gear & bearing. At the stage of resonance, it may even lead to the shutdown of the turbine units which directly disturbed the economical system, time management, employment system of a nation. Resonance is the stage where the natural frequency of the system is equal to the external excitation frequency. Due to this, the amplitude of vibration is excessive at resonance. So, determination of first few modes of natural frequency of a system is a must for design point of view. So, it is essentially required to have the knowledge of vibration (natural frequency) for a designer.

The research in the field of vibration is quite mesmerizing and continuously acquiring a great attention of scientists and design engineers because of its unbounded effect on human life. In the engineering we can not move without considering the effect of vibration because almost all machines and engineering structures experiences vibrations. Study of effect of vibration can't be restricted only in the field of science but, our day to day life is also affected by it. Whether it be a constructive aspect e.g. aircraft, space shuttle, satellite or design engineering to the destructive aspect, e.g. tsunami, earthquake etc., none of these are remained untouched with the effect of vibrations. The study of vibration responses are of great importance, almost in all engineering applications, such as, space shuttle, satellites, aircrafts, earthquake resistant newly designed structures and also in chip design in electronics etc.. All the above said structures/ fields shows a significant effect on themselves with variation in temperature so the study of effect of temperature on such structural materials is of immense importance.

India is blessed with favourable agro-ecological conditions for the growth of wide range of cultivated, perennial and annual oilseeds. Oilseeds constitute the second largest agricultural commodity in India after cereals. In India about 27.46 m ha area is under oilseeds cultivation. Out of the total cultivated area 80 per cent is occupied by nine major annual oilseed crops. The annual production of these nine major oilseed crops is around 15.23 m tonnes. Despite the fact that India is one of the leading oilseed producing country in the world, it is not able to meet the surging demand created due to the components, namely population increase, change in living standard of people and stagnation in production.Among the different oilseed crops grown in the country, rapeseed and mustard stands huge importance. This has been major source of edible oil for the masses particularly in northern India. It is ultivated both under irrigated (79.2%) and rainfed conditions (20.8%) in an area of 0.88 m ha with a production of around 0.99 m tonnes.

Supra-molecular chemistry, conceptually founded as a research field in its own in the 1960s is a rapidly growing field at the borderline of several disciplines such as bio(organic) chemistry, material sciences and certainly the classical chemistry topics, i.e. (in) organic and physical chemistry. Selective binding of ions is an important area of supra-molecular chemistry research in terms of ion detection, transport and sensing. Currently, there is a surge of interest in the development of tailor-made sensor molecules, able to act as chromogenic sensors for a specific analyte as colorimetric sensors are simple-to-use diagnostic tools for sensing purposes that allow 'naked eye' detection of ions without resort to any spectroscopic instrumentation. In this book, the detailed photophysical studies of anthracene-9,10-diones bearing electron-rich coordinating sites at 1 / 1,8 or 1,4 positions for metal ions through color change have been elaborated. Also, the paradigm shift from selective to differential receptors has been used for single molecular receptor based simultaneous analysis of multiple analytes.
