This includes comprehensive information on the different aspects of stripe rust of wheat. All the major information like survey, management and epidemiology aspects including detailed work plan is documented. The results act as a major reference to initiate the work on different rusts of wheat. This would also update the practical knowledge of the youngsters who wish to work on wheat rust. The management work are detailed in such a way that it would be of great help for the research workers, students.

The book entitled "A STUDY ON METRIC FIXED POINT THEORY" has been written with a prime objective to take care of fast paced development in the knowledge of the Fixed Point Theory applied on Metric Spaces. This book explains those concepts of this theory which are helpful for the reader to understand the topics easily. Each topic of this book has been written in an easy and lucid manner with emphasis that concept and terminology should be introduced well before they used. At present time, Metric Fixed Point Theory has a vast area of applications in other subjects, so this text contain the basic concept like Metric Space, 2-Metric Spaces, Compatible mapping, Complete metric spaces, Symmetric spaces, Integral type contractive condition and many more. Our aim through this book is to increase the interest of researcher towards this theory and to develop the Fixed Point Theory for further research.

Kaolinite is both a blessing and a curse. As an important industrial mineral commodity, kaolinite clays are extensively used in the paper, ceramic, paint etc. In all these applications the wettability, aggregation, dispersion, flotation and thickening of kaolinite particles are affected by its crystal structure and surface properties. It is therefore the objective of this research to investigate selected physical and surface chemical properties of kaolinite, specifically the surface charge of kaolinite particles. A pool of advanced analytical techniques such as XRD, XRF, SEM, AFM, FTIR and ISS were utilized to investigate the morphological and surface chemistry features of kaolinite. Surface force measurements, electrophoresis and titration were conducted to understand the surface charge properties of silica face, alumina face and edge surfaces of kaolinite and their interactions. The improved knowledge of kaolinite surface chemistry from this research provides a foundation for the development of improved process strategies for both the use and disposal of clay particles such as kaolinite.

The Concept of Entrepreneurial Orientation reviews where Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO) scholarship has come so far, identifies interesting gaps for the future, and encourages extending the knowledge frontier in this area. The authors acknowledge key developmental milestones in EO studies, attempt to make sense of the extant EO literature, highlight possible avenues for further work, and offer specific suggestions for exploring areas where EO research has not gone before. This monograph shows that EO research has made considerable strides over its life course as well as point to productive directions for the EO concept going forward.
