The frequency and scale of damage inflicted by climate-related
disasters, including floods, drought, heat waves and hurricanes,
has been increasing at an alarming rate. This volume provides a
timely and thoughtful discussion of strategies for adaptation to
climate change, which can complement mitigation strategies being
developed by other experts throughout the world.The book focuses on
eight geographically diverse territories in Asia, which are among
the areas that will experience the most severe impacts of climate
change and are the most vulnerable in terms of capacity to cope
with the damage. The authors discuss adaptation strategies to
safeguard food and water supplies, address urban problems, support
migrant workers, protect coastal cities and preserve biodiversity.
They also offer a critical analysis of plans that have proven
successful to explore what additional steps can be taken to address
the gaps. The collection of observations and recommendations in
this book will prove invaluable to policy makers in countries that
are facing similar threats and looking to build their adaptive
capacity to cope with climate change. It will also appeal to
academics interested in environmental ecology, sustainable
development, global climate change and Asian studies. Contributors

Since the beginning of mankind on Earth, if the "busyness" process
was successful, then some form of benefit sustained it. The
fundamentals are obvious: get the right inputs (materials, labor,
money, and ideas); transform them into highly demanded, quality
outputs; and make it available in time to the end consumer.
Illustrating how operations relate to the rest of the organization,
Production and Operations Management Systems provides an
understanding of the production and operations management (P/OM)
functions as well as the processes of goods and service producers.
The modular character of the text permits many different journeys
through the materials. If you like to start with supply chain
management (Chapter 9) and then move on to inventory management
(Chapter 5) and then quality management (Chapter 8), you can do so
in that order. However, if your focus is product line stability and
quick response time to competition, you may prefer to begin with
project management (Chapter 7) to reflect the continuous project
mode required for fast redesign rapid response. Slides, lectures,
Excel worksheets, and solutions to short and extended problem sets
are available on the Downloads / Updates tabs. The project
management component of P/OM is no longer an auxiliary aspect of
the field. The entire system has to be viewed and understood. The
book helps students develop a sense of managerial competence in
making decisions in the design, planning, operation, and control of
manufacturing, production, and operations systems through examples
and case studies. The text uses analytical techniques when
necessary to develop critical thinking and to sharpen
decision-making skills. It makes production and operations
management (P/OM) interesting, even exciting, to those who are
embarking on a career that involves business of any kind.
Diversified physicochemical injuries trigger Charnoly body (CB)
formation as pleomorphic, electron-dense, multi-lamellar stacks of
nonfunctional mitochondrial membranes in the most vulnerable cell.
Free radicals induce downregulation of mitochondrial DNA, microRNA,
AgNOR, and epigenetics to trigger CB molecular pathogenesis. CB is
eliminated by energy (ATP)-driven lysosome-dependent charnolophagy
as a basic molecular mechanism of intracellular detoxification to
prevent acute and chronic diseases. Accumulation of CB at the
junction of axon hillock and charnolosome (CS) at the synapses
causes cognitive impairments; whereas, nonspecific induction of CB
causes GIT stress, myelosuppression, alopecia, neurotoxicity,
cardiotoxicity, and infertility in multidrug-resistant
malignancies. Hence, stem cell-specific CB, charnolophagy, and CS
agonists/antagonists are introduced as novel
charnolopharmacotherapeutics for the successful treatment of
cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, infectious
diseases, drug addiction, and cancer. Nanoparticles to improve drug
delivery, CS exocytosis, and disease-specific spatiotemporal
charnolosomics employing correlative and combinatorial
bioinformatics boost mitochondrial bioenergetics through balanced
diet, exercise, and antioxidants. The book will be of interest to
medical scientists and practitioners.
This remarkable volume highlights the importance of Production and
Operations Management (POM) as a field of study and research
contributing to substantial business and social growth. The editors
emphasize how POM works with a range of systems-agriculture,
disaster management, e-commerce, healthcare, hospitality, military
systems, not-for-profit, retail, sports, sustainability,
telecommunications, and transport-and how it contributes to the
growth of each. Martin K. Starr and Sushil K. Gupta gather an
international team of experts to provide researchers and students
with a panoramic vision of the field. Divided into eight parts, the
book presents the history of POM, and establishes the foundation
upon which POM has been built while also revisiting and
revitalizing topics that have long been essential. It examines the
significance of processes and projects to the fundamental growth of
the POM field. Critical emerging themes and new research are
examined with open minds and this is followed by opportunities to
interface with other business functions. Finally, the next era is
discussed in ways that combine practical skill with philosophy in
its analysis of POM, including traditional and nontraditional
applications, before concluding with the editors' thoughts on the
future of the discipline. Students of POM will find this a
comprehensive, definitive resource on the state of the discipline
and its future directions.
Progress and Prospect of Nanocarriers: Design, Concept, and Recent
Advances examines the different nanocarriers that are currently
being developed for specific applications in biomedical drug
delivery, disease management, diagnosis and therapy. Nanosized drug
delivery systems have gained tremendous amounts of clinical
interest due to their effective bio-distribution and enhanced
pharmacokinetic and selective targeting capability which results in
high therapeutic potential, low side effects, and the generation of
cost-effective drug delivery systems. Numerous effective
nanocarriers have been evolving, including polymeric nanoparticles,
liposomes, microspheres, dendrimers, and carbon nanotubes.This book
is a helpful reference for scientists and students in the fields of
drug delivery, biomaterials and nanomedicine, as well as scientists
and engineers in industrial disciplines of drug delivery and drug
formulation.

This book is an indispensable resource for students and
researchers wishing to develop a deeper understanding of one of the
world's oldest and most multifaceted religious traditions.
Sushil Mittal and Gene Thursby, leading scholars in the field,
have brought together a rich variety of perspectives which reflect
the current lively state of the field. Studying Hinduism is the
result of cooperative work by accomplished specialists in several
fields that include anthropology, art, comparative literature,
history, philosophy, religious studies, and sociology. Through
these complementary and exciting approaches, students will gain a
greater understanding of India's culture and traditions, to which
Hinduism is integral. The book uses key critical terms and topics
as points of entry into the subject, revealing that although
Hinduism can be interpreted in sharply contrasting ways and set in
widely varying contexts, it is endlessly fascinating and
intriguing.
