This volume comprehensively reviews recent advances in our understanding of the diversity of microbes in various types of terrestrial ecosystems, such as caves, deserts and cultivated fields. It is written by leading experts, and highlights the culturable microbes identified using conventional approaches, as well as non-culturable ones unveiled with metagenomic and microbiomic approaches. It discusses the role of microbes in ecosystem sustainability and their potential biotechnological applications. The book further discusses the diversity and utility of ectomycorrhizal and entomopathogenic fungi and yeasts that dwell on grapes, it examines the biotechnological applications of specific microbes such as lichens, xylan- and cellulose-saccharifying bacteria and archaea, chitinolytic bacteria, methanogenic archaea and pathogenic yeasts.
This book discusses microbial diversity in various habitats and environments, its role in ecosystem maintenance, and its potential applications (e.g. biofertilizers, biocatalysts, antibiotics, other bioactive compounds, exopolysaccharides etc.). The respective chapters, all contributed by renowned experts, offer cutting-edge information in the fields of microbial ecology and biogeography. The book explains the reasons behind the occurrence of various biogeographies and highlights recent tools (e.g. metagenomics) that can aid in biogeography studies by providing information on nucleic acid sequence data, thereby directly identifying microorganisms in various habitats and environments. In turn, the book describes how human intervention results in depletion of biodiversity, and how numerous hotspots are now losing their endemic biodiversity, resulting in the loss of many ecologically important microorganisms. In closing, the book underscores the importance of microbial diversity for sustainable ecosystems.

Synthetic Aperture Radar(SAR)is an important tool for geosciences, remote sensing, surveillance,& reconnaissance now a day. In this work, a definition of UWB SAR image quality measurements is presented and the measurements for the UWB SAR images are performed. The most important SAR image quality assessments are spatial resolution, differential resolution, ISLR and PSLR. It is seen that elliptic areas are more suitable for delimitation of mainlobe and sidelobe areas of a UWB SAR image than rectangular areas for measurements of ISLR and PSLR. For this purpose a newly defined Impulse Response Function (IRF-SAR) is used instead of the widely used sinc function. In this book, the simulated CARABAS-II data is employed and the simulations are performed by Matlab. Global back projection (GBP), a time domain algorithm is used due to its time-domain characteristics such as extreme range migration handling and manageable motion compensation. But its main limitation is computational cost. This book uses a simple and causal writing style to presents the SAR image quality measurements pleasantly and nicely so that readers can enjoy it easil
