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
