"These books present a comprehensive coverage of issues facing
wheat production globally. The authors represent the top scientists
involved in the diverse areas that are important for sustainable
wheat production and will this book provides an excellent resource
for those interested in wheat improvement and production." Dr
Hans-Joachim Braun, Director Global Wheat Program and CRP Wheat,
International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT), Mexico
Wheat is the most widely cultivated cereal in the world and a
staple food for around 3 billion people. It has been estimated that
demand for wheat could increase by up to 60% by 2050. There is an
urgent need to increase yields in the face of such challenges as
climate change, threats from pests and diseases and the need to
make cultivation more resource-efficient and sustainable. Drawing
on an international range of expertise, this collection focuses on
ways of improving the cultivation of wheat at each step in the
value chain, from breeding to post-harvest storage. Volume 2
reviews research in improving cultivation techniques. Chapters in
Part 1 review topics such as variety selection, seed and root
growth, water and nutrient management. Part 2 goes on to discuss
broader issues such as sustainable intensification and organic
cultivation. The final part of the collection covers ways of
improving wheat cultivation in the developing world. Achieving
sustainable cultivation of wheat Volume 2: Cultivation techniques
will be a standard reference for cereal scientists in universities,
government and other research centres and companies involved in
wheat cultivation. It is accompanied by Volume 1 which reviews
breeding, quality traits, pests and diseases.
This book discusses the sequential development of population
research in India, focusing on contemporary issues like demography,
population studies, geography, sociology, urban studies and many
more. It describes the problems related to the underdeveloped
regions in India, Nepal and Bangladesh and includes tabular
representations of the analyzed data as well as visual
representations/illustrations in the form of graphs and maps.
Further, it features fascinating case studies on primary
field-research experiences. Presenting interdisciplinary
contributions, the book is divided into four sections: the first
part examines social issues related to health, while the second
explores social sustainability, lifestyles, and cultural aspects.
The third and fourth sections address migration and quality of
life, respectively. The book is of interest to students studying
demography, as well as researchers and policymakers in the fields
of population studies, geography and sociology.
This book is devoted to the study of inventory systems with special
focus on deteriorating items inventory. Inventory System is one of
the main stream of the Operations Research which is essential in
business enterprises and Industries. Interest in the subject is
constantly increasing, and its development in recent years closely
parallels the development of operations research in general. Some
authors even claim that "More operations research has been directed
towards inventory control than toward any other problem area in
business and industry" and among these the deteriorating items
inventory have gain large emphasis in last decade. This book
contains basic terminology of inventory systems, brief history and
different inventory model of deteriorating items inventory with
some realistic assumptions. This book should be useful to post
graduate and research student in industrial engineering, production
engineering, operations research, management science, business
administration and related field.
