Bio-based Solutions for Sustainable Development of Agriculture, Volume II
The agricultural industry is primarily driven by the fast growth of the population and the subsequent need to supply sufficient food globally. It is estimated that the global population will expand from 8 billion to about 9 billion in 2050 and crop production needs to double in order to supply enough food for all people by 2050. Moreover, the climate change and the intensification of areas of infertile and unproductive soil create new and additional difficulties. It is urgent and of utter importance to find alternative practices to the traditional ones (based on the indiscriminate use of various synthetic chemicals, e.g. fertilizers and pesticides), which are mainly used nowadays, to overcome current and future agricultural challenges in a natural, more efficient and sustainable way. Recent regulations (EU 1009/2019 and Farm Bill in EU and USA, respectively) promote the adoption of biostimulants in agriculture and open the market for new and innovative solutions. This regulation is a major step forward that should encourage the scientific community, in strict interaction with the industry, in the continuous development of new bio-based solutions for modern agriculture.
Opera on Stage
The History of Italian Opera marks the first time a team of expert scholars has worked together to investigate the Italian operatic tradition in its entirety, rather than limiting its focus to individual eras or major composers and their masterworks. Including both musicologists and historians of other arts, the contributors approach opera not only as a distinctive musical genre but also as a form of extravagant theater and a complex social phenomenon-resulting in the sort of panoramic view critical to a deep and fruitful understanding of the art. Opera on Stage, the second book of this multi-volume work to be published in English-in an expanded and updated version-focuses on staging and vie...
Understanding the behaviour and improving the welfare of dairy cattle
Particularly strong focus on understanding dairy cattle behaviour as the foundation for improving welfare in such areas as cognition and learning, pain and stress as well as social behaviour Covers developments in more animal/outcome-based welfare indicators as well as advanced sensor, acoustic and video techniques for monitoring behaviour and welfare Comprehensive review of welfare issues across the value chain, from calves and heifers to culling
Monstrous Motherhood
Spectral and monstrous mothers populate the cultural and literary landscape of the eighteenth century, overturning scholarly assumptions about this being an era of ideal motherhood. Although credited with the rise of domesticity, eighteenth-century British culture singularly lacked narratives of good mothers, ostensibly the most domestic of females. With startling frequency, the best mother was absent, disembodied, voiceless, or dead. British culture told tales almost exclusively of wicked, surrogate, or spectral mothers—revealing the defects of domestic ideology, the cultural fascination with standards and deviance, and the desire to police maternal behaviors. Monstrous Motherhood analyze...
Optimising poultry flock health
Provides an authoritative review on recent research undertaken on understanding the mechanisms of transmission of major poultry diseases (Avian Influenza, Salmonella) Reviews best practices for preventing and/or controlling disease outbreaks in poultry, including health monitoring, vaccinations and improved biosecurity measures Considers how bird health can be optimised at multiple stages of production, focussing on chicks, broilers, layers and breeders
Achieving sustainable cultivation of barley
Strong focus on advances in understanding barley physiology which inform decisions about breeding and cultivation Detailed coverage of molecular breeding techniques such as genome wide association studies (GWAS) and targeted induced lesions in genomes (TILLING) Covers latest research on optimising barley for particular end uses such as malting, brewing and animal feed
Developing animal feed products
Comprehensive coverage of advances in optimising all the key steps in developing successful new animal feed products, from assessing feed ingredients, product development and processing to maintaining quality and safety Covers latest research on understanding and improving animal feed conversion efficiency Particular focus on the key issue of feed safety, particularly preventing mycotoxin and other contamination risks
Cloud IoT Systems for Smart Agricultural Engineering
Agriculture plays a vital role in a country’s growth. Modern-day technologies drive every domain toward smart systems. The use of traditional agricultural procedures to satisfy modern-day requirements is a challenging task. Cloud IoT Systems for Smart Agricultural Engineering provides substantial coverage of various challenges of the agriculture domain through modern technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, and many more. This book offers various state-of-the-art procedures to be deployed in a wide range of agricultural activities. The concepts are discussed with the necessary implementations and clear examples. Necessary illustrations are depicted in the chapter...
Journals and Letters
Novelist and playwright Frances (Fanny) Burney, 1752-1840, was also a prolific writer of journals and letters, beginning with the diary she started at fifteen and continuing until the end of her eventful life. From her youth in London high society to a period in the court of Queen Charlotte and her years interned in France with her husband Alexandre d'Arblay during the Napoleonic Wars, she captured the changing times around her, creating brilliantly comic and candid portraits of those she encountered - including the 'mad' King George, Samuel Johnson, Sir Joshua Reynolds, David Garrick and a charismatic Napoleon Bonaparte. She also describes, in her most moving piece, undergoing a mastectomy at fifty-nine without anaesthetic. Whether a carefree young girl or a mature woman, Fanny Burney's forthright, intimate and wickedly perceptive voice brings her world powerfully to life.
