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 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.
