Biology and Ecology of Venomous Marine Cnidarians
Seas and oceans cover 71 % of the earth’s surface and they are home to 80% of all life found on the planet . Among the different components of marine life, the phylum Cnidaria (formerly Coelenterata) has been reported to be responsible for more envenomations than any other marine phylum. It is believed that 2% of its known 11000 species are venomous to humans. Incidents caused by jellyfish are common all around the globe, with serious manifestations and occasional deaths reported in some countries. The Australian box jellyfish, Chironex fleckeri , has been reported to be very dangerous to humans, as contact with its tentacles can provoke immediate cardiovascular collapse and death within minutes. Though other volumes on venomous marine fauna are available, this is the first comprehensive book focusing on venomous marine cnidarians. It is a valuable text-cum-reference resource for researchers, teachers and students of various disciplines, including fisheries science, marine biotechnology and marine biology and for university and college libraries. It is also a useful guide for beachgoers, divers, physicians and environmentalists.
Manual of Methods for Marine Plankton
The marine phytoplankton, the microalgae make up a quarter of all vegetation on the planet and could be the oldest known basic food source in the seas and oceans. The marine zooplankton, on the other hand are the initial prey items for almost all fish larvae. Most of the marine fishes and associated fisheries rely largely on the density and distribution of zooplankton. This comprehensive publication deals with all methods of studying marine phytoplankton and zooplankton including their identification. It is hoped that this publication, first of its kind would be of great use for the students and researchers of disciplines such as Fisheries Science, Marine Biology, Aquatic Biology and Fisheries and Zoology besides serving as a standard reference for other Biology-related faculties.
Emerging Materials and Technologies in Water Remediation and Sensing
This book presents the select proceedings of 2nd International Conference on Water Technologies 2022. While several efforts are underway, materials form the core of all research activities to develop technologies to mitigate the global challenge of water crisis. This book includes latest scientific dialogues, state-of-the-art developments in terms of emerging materials, technology development aimed toward mitigating various bottlenecks in water treatment, purification, desalination, and sensing with emerging materials. It also discusses diverse materials driven approaches, including theoretical and experimental studies, to address various aspects of this global issue. The book discusses various topics related to nanomaterials for water purification, bio-physical remediation, photocatalysis, membranes, physico-chemical processes, oil-water separation, sensors, and microplastics, etc. The book can be a valuable reference for beginners, researchers, and professionals interested in water technologies and allied fields.
Basic and Applied Zooplankton Biology
The coastal and ocean ecosystem is a significant feature of our planet and provides a source of food for much of life on Earth. Millions of species have been, and are still being discovered in the world’s oceans. Among these zooplankton serve as secondary producers and are significant as they form pelagic food links and act as indicators of water masses. They constitute the largest and most reliable source of protein for most of the ocean’s fishes. As such, their absence or depletion often affects fishery. In many countries, the decline in fishery has been attributed to reduced plankton populations. Furthermore, trillions of tiny copepods produce countless faecal pellets contributing gre...
AKASHVANI
"Akashvani" (English) is a programme journal of ALL INDIA RADIO, it was formerly known as The Indian Listener. It used to serve the listener as a bradshaw of broadcasting ,and give listener the useful information in an interesting manner about programmes, who writes them, take part in them and produce them along with photographs of performing artists. It also contains the information of major changes in the policy and service of the organisation. The Indian Listener (fortnightly programme journal of AIR in English) published by The Indian State Broadcasting Service, Bombay, started on 22 December, 1935 and was the successor to the Indian Radio Times in English, which was published beginning ...
Physiology of the Gastrointestinal Tract
Physiology of the Gastrointestinal Tract, Sixth Edition, a Two-Volume set, covers the study of the mechanical, physical and biochemical functions of the GI Tract by linking clinical disease and disorder, thus bridging the gap between clinical and laboratory medicine while also covering breakthroughs in gastroenterology, such as the brain-gut axis and microbiome. Additionally, information is provided at the organism level, including animal models of gastrointestinal disorders and therapeutic possibilities. The book covers a wide range of conditions, from food allergies, constipation, chronic liver disease and IBS, also exploring emerging techniques to diagnose and normalize functions of the G...
India's Kathak Dance, Past Present, Future
All The Major Dance Styles Of The Indian Subcontinent Share A Common Root System Of Ethical And Aesthetic Values. Hence No Single Style Can Claim To Be Purer Or Older Than Any Other. Kathak- The Style That Grew, Took Shape And Flourished In The Northern Regions Of The Subcontinent-Has Been Misunderstood And Misinterpreted On Account Of Ignorance And Prejudice From Various Quarters. This Book Sets Out, Therefore, To Rectify Incorrect Perceptions By Presenting Historical Facts And Placing Kathak Dance In Its Proper Cultural Context. The Background Of The Dance Is Explained In Detail; The Religious, Social And Political Influences Over The Centuries Are Recounted; Myth, Theory And Reality Are E...
Angiogenesis and Vascularisation
The book presents the overview of the current knowledge in some fields of vascular biology, addressing cellular and molecular aspects of blood-vessel formation and their role in health and disease. The major factors involved in the formation of blood vessels are presented by scientists actively involved in this area of research. Special emphasis is put on the presentation of various molecular mechanisms not addressed in similar works to date. The book is divided into three parts. The first part describes the cells and mediators in angiogenesis. The significance of various populations of potential endothelial progenitors is particularly highlighted. The chapters of the second part focus on mo...
