Current Developments in Biotechnology and Bioengineering: Synthetic Biology, Cell Engineering and Bioprocessing Technologies covers the current perspectives and outlook of synthetic biology in the agriculture, food and health sectors. This book begins with the basics about synthetic biology and cell engineering, and then explores this in more detail, focusing on topics like applications of synthetic biology, industrial bioprocesses, and future perspectives. Information on cell engineering is also presented, and manipulation in endogenous metabolic network is studied alongside advanced topics such as fine tuning of metabolic pathways, de novo biosynthetic pathway design, enzyme engineering targeted to improved kinetics and stability, and potential applications of the novel biological systems in bioprocess technology to achieve the production of value-added compounds with specific biological activities.

The book provides an insight into if not all but at least into the burning issues and themes of sociological research in the society of Jammu and Kashmir. It offers a broad spectrum of topics so that scholars from the field of sociology and anthropology may take some help to devise new topics and undertake appropriate research techniques while dealing with different social settings throughout the state of Jammu and Kashmir. The book as we hope will serve as a guide to scholars particularly in sociology for further research by giving them an idea about the most suited research tool and design for their studies.
