  • Active Ageing: Dynamics in the Post Modern Era
    by Laxmi and Mohan

    The concept of successful ageing took a new turn and gained global attention with the introduction of “Active Ageing” by WHO. WHO (2002) stresses on the need for integrating multiple domains of well-being into a unitary model of active ageing that covers economic, social, physical, personal, behavioural and health related aspects of ageing. However, this holistic approach is often inaccessible to most of the seniors. The holistic approach towards ageing presses for the need of relevant intervention strategies. The very idea of active ageing often tends to be alien to the current models as the emphasis is largely on the medical model where physical fitness is considered to be the major mandate of well-being of the older people; often leaving behind other important aspects which play equally significant roles. For instance, economic dependence has been identified as a major subjective concern of older people which in turn has implications on social and psychological domains. An effective strategy must therefore incorporate active ageing as the central theme covering all domains effectively. Hence papers on the theme were invited to make sure that novel ideas towards the attainment of active ageing evolve through scientific research. The papers concentrated on areas such as Music and Well-Being among Elderly Population, Decremental Model of Ageing, Tribal Elderly, Gerontological Social Work Practice with Tribal Elderly in India, Religion and Positive Ageing, Female Elderly Commercial Sex Workers, Prevalence of Dementia in India and Management of Dementia through Active Ageing, Ageing represented in Literature, Ageing and Health Conditions, Modern Day Adaptations of Gerontological Theories and Representation of Ageing in Social Work Curriculum. This compilation of works that focuses on multiple facets of active ageing deciphers the possibility of ageing actively in the post modern era.

  • Advanced Techniques in Cyanobacteria and other Microalgae
    by Tiwari, O.N.

    This practical manual is an excellent compilation of techniques for researchers interested in various aspects dealing with cyanobacteria, besides providing basic knowledge on this fascinating group of organisms. Despite the availability of similar compilations, this stands out in terms of its clarity and “simple to understand and do- language”, besides information on the latest advances in the field. Beginning with the basics of isolation, followed by purification and identification, the manual uses simple and effective vocabulary for those working with cyanobacteria, beginners or interested scholars. An important inclusion is the section on microscopy, from light microscropy to electron microscopy, which is a fascinating topic for those interested in understanding the ultrastructural features of these photosynthetic prokaryotes. Axenization and getting clones are one of the difficult aspects of cyanobacteriology and these details are given well, with illustrations. The protocols for lipid and protein extraction are explained in detail, and the use of molecular tools is also dealt suitably. The chapter on preservation of cyanobacteria, an important set of techniques for maintenance and storage, provides useful information not only for researchers, but also for germplasm culture collection curators. Overall, this compilation will provide useful for all researchers, particularly those interested in using cyanobacteria as their workhorses in their research programs.

  • Advancement of Crops and Monitoring of Environment
    by Verma, G.P.

    Keeping the view in mind that environmental monitoring and crop management are of vital importance and that hese are essential parts of modern agricultural experimentation,the present symposium volume has been compiled.The subject matter of the volume has been presented in four parts,viz.(1) Abiotic environment and crops,(2) biotic environment and crops,(3) edaphic environment and crops and (4) modification of biotic environment and crops and quality,representing the four sessions for presentation of the papers.At length discussions were held on three driving variables of environment namely precipitation,relative humidity and temperature of the area and their impacts on crop production,herbagebiomass, carbon,nitrogen,fertilizers,animal numbers etc.

  • Advances in Applied Phycology-II
    by A.C. Shukla, Priti Shukla, S. N. Pandey

    Presents Conceptual Synthesis of advance achieved in frontiers of Knowledge and Research in India. The textual contents are spread over special Lectures and research papers of frontline applied phycologists and depicts fine intermeshing fabric of applied Phycology ramifying in realms of applied aspects of diverse sciences of agriculture, physiology, microbiology, biochemistry, Medicine and Environmental biology. The impact of applied phycology would remain obscure until it reaches both scholars pursueing advance courses and research, administrators, and common man alike to wed the Scientific advance to practice. The proceedings should, therefore, find a place in shelves of Libraries and scholars.

  • Advances in Geoinformatics Remote Sensing and GIS: Concept, Principle and Applications
    by Bhunia, G. S.

    Advances in Geoinformatics is a basic text book on remote sensing GIS, Digital Image processing for all the students enrolled in the subject of Geography and Geoinformatics. Compared to other introductory text books, this book focuses on the up-to-date techniques of Geoinformatics. This book also provides an exhaustive coverage of optical, thermal and microwave remote sensing, global navigation satellite systems (such as GPS), digital photogrammetry, visual image analysis, digital image processing, spatial and attribute data model, geospatial analysis, and planning, implementation, and management of GIS. Earth observation (EO) satellites have already revealed their suppleness in providing data to a comprehensive series of solicitation in natural resource management. The 1st chapter of the book provides a comprehensive and basic concepts of Remote Sensing technology. Chapter II explore the basics of satellite imagery, its types and characteristics. Chapter III, presents the digital image processing techniques with advance image processing algorithm. Chapter IV covers the aerial photography and photogrammetric techniques. In chapter V, elucidate the basics of GIS and illuminates the fundamental basis of GIS technology, spatial data modeling, attributes data management, GIS data analysis, and modeling. Chapter VI highlighted the basics of geodesy and discussed the associated features used in Geoinformatics. In chapter VII, focuses on global positioning system and GNSS in details. In chapter VIII, emphasis and analyzed on the practical examples of Remote Sensing and GIS software. In chapter IX, encompasses various types of application of Geoinformatics with proper illustration and examples. Topics are covered with adequate tables and illustrations with an essential introductory part. Additional learning tools like maps, charts, figures and tables have been provided throughout the text.
    This book is very much useful as a basic textbook on Remote sensing and GIS for the professor, research scholar, and environmental science teachers, professionals, and for all the students enrolled in the subject of Geography and Geoinformatics, and for all entry level students enrolled in the educational programmes at the graduate and post-graduate level and for several skill building short diploma and certificate courses.
