Starch is one of the major components responsible for the structure of final food products. A recent report by Industrial Starch Market predicts the industrial starch market to reach about 106.64 billion by 2022. The major portion of the starch volume will be contributed by conventional sources like maize, wheat and potato. These native starch sources are well capable to meet the industrial requirements. However, modification of starch brings lot of positive changes in functional and structural properties of starch. As compared to their native counterparts, modified starches are gaining a significant market growth due to their enhanced functionalities and applications. Starch: Advances in Modifications, Technologies and Applications provides comprehensive coverage of the most recent advances in the modification techniques, their impact on functionality of starch and potential application food industries.   Starch is a vital ingredient for food processing industries and it has been covered thoroughly in different books. However, none of the books currently on the market have covered the most recent advances in modification techniques and their derivatives including the functional, engineering, thermo-pasting, rheological, structural and morphological properties of starch. This text comprehensively covers almost all the starch modifications, reviewing the derivatives of modification techniques and compiling all the changes in properties to provide an understanding and perspective of these innovative applications. From the history of starch production to current chemical and physical modifications, this book offers researchers all the information they need on starch modifications in a single source.  

Stem Cells: An Alternative Therapy for COVID-19 and Cytokine Storm provides mechanistic insights into the role of stem cells to combat COVID-19 outbreak and other pathologies where cytokines storm is the cause of concern for e.g., radiation exposure, multiple organ failure and sepsis. There has been an increase in number of cases of new diseases in the last decade, including mucormycosis, Zika virus, H1N1 influenza virus, among others. These diseases can be characterized by the induction of cytokine storm, which is mainly responsible for morbidity and mortality. Stem cell therapy has emerged as a potential treatment for viral diseases, including, but not limited to, COVID-19. Interestingly, clinical trials in patients with COVID-19 complications depicted faster recovery in patients post mesenchymal stem cells therapy owing to the decreased cytokines levels, anti-viral effects and regeneration of the infected tissue.

Network security is a serious global concern. The increasing prevalence of malware and incidents of attacks hinders the utilization of the Internet to its greatest benefit and incur significant economic losses. The traditional approaches in securing systems against threats are designing mechanisms that create a protective shield, almost always with vulnerabilities. This has created Intrusion Detection Systems to be developed that complement traditional approaches. However, with the advancement of computer technology, the behavior of intrusions has become complex that makes the work of security experts hard to analyze and detect intrusions. In order to address these challenges, data mining techniques have become a possible solution. However, the performance of data mining algorithms is affected when no optimized features are provided. This is because, complex relationships can be seen as well between the features and intrusion classes contributing to high computational costs in processing tasks, subsequently leads to delays in identifying intrusions. Feature selection is thus important in detecting intrusions by allowing the data mining system to focus on what is really important.

In modern industrial world, engineering components are prone to more rapid surface degradation such as erosion-corrosion, overheating, wear, solid particle abrasion, high temperature corrosion, etc. Due to above surface degradation, major problems causes tube wall thinning, results in premature failure of the super heater and reheater tubes. Alloys used at high temperature should possess good mechanical properties along with erosion - corrosion resistance. The present study behavior of boiler steel ASTM-SA213 T-22 (used in most of the power plants in the Northern India) has been investigated for high temperature erosion-corrosion behavior in the uncoated as well as coated condition. Detonation Gun thermal spraying process was used for coating on boiler steel. SEM/EDAX, XRD and X-ray mapping analysis done to reveal the microstructure and compositional features of boiler steel. The microstructure indicates uniform and dense coating. Thermogravimetric techniques is used to investigate the erosion-corrosion behavior at 900 C for 1000 hours. SEM/EDAX, XRD and X-ray mapping techniques were used to analyze the corrosion products."

When faced with the challenge of restoring an endodontically treated tooth, the dentist must decide, first, whether the post is required and second, the type of restoration that is indicated. Earlier a post was thought to strengthen the root of an endodontically treated tooth. But it is widely held today that the primary purpose of post placement is to retain the core buildup material or to reinforce the remaining coronal tooth structure. It is difficult to discuss the longevity of teeth restored by a post because there are many variables to control. The long term clinical success of an endodontically treated tooth is dependent on many factors. The successful treatment of a badly broken down tooth with pulpal disease depends not only on good endodontic therapy, but also on good prosthetic reconstruction of the tooth after endodontic therapy is completed. The decision to place a post is based on several parameters. These include the position of the tooth in the arch, occlusion, function of the restored tooth, amount of remaining tooth structure and canal configuration.

India will account for 20 per cent of the world's global workforce in 2020s. The average age of Indian workforce will be 29 years as compared to 37 for the US and China and 45 years for Europe. A need for skill development and skill up gradation among the labour force as a result of challenges that globalization and changing job patterns posed came in the form of increased emphasis on understandings to be developed with respect to 1. Which skills are to be developed? 2. What are the strategies adopted of skill development of rural populace? 3. Has the supply driven strategies been able to cater to market demands? 4. What is the quantum and quality difference in the two? As the emphasis concurrently is on identification of right skills and developing of the same as a bottom-up approach in order to have 500 million skill manpower in the country by 2022 (that is end of 13th five year plan) the paper is an attempt to making a critical appraisal of demand supply realities in a backward district of a backward State in India.

Dear Reader, This book based on Human resource management by Computer software.Human Resource is the most precious resource of an organization. It is also called backbone of any organization.

Computerized Systems are being used to this effect in a big way. This book include a system for calculate performance appraisal of employee by a mathematical model and maintain attendance, salary and leave by IRIS Biometric system.

This thesis covers three aspects of Microstrip antenna designs. The first is the analysis and design of single element rectangular Microstrip antenna which operates at the central frequency of 2.4 GHz and the second aspect is the design of dual band rectangular Microstrip antenna which is operates as 2.4 & 3.08 GHz. Both antennas have been modeled, designed and simulated. The simulation process has been done through IE3D electromagnetic software which is based on method of movement (MOM). The third is the interfacing between IE3D/PSO (MATLAB). In this part optimization is done through Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm using IE3D simulation software. The technique has proven successful for many electromagnetic problems and is a robust and stochastic search method.
