Abiotic Stresses: Plant Resistance Through Breeding and Molecular Approaches $207.01 Gain a better understanding of the genetic and physiological bases of stress response and stress tolerance as part of crop improvement programsAbiotic Stresses: Plant Resistance Through Breeding and Molecular Approaches explores innovative methods for breeding new varieties of major crops with resistance to environmental stresses that limit crop production worldwide. Experts provide you with basic principles and techniques of plant breeding as well as work done in relation to improving resistance in specific important world food crops. This book supplies extensive bibliographies at the end of each chapter, as well as tables and figures that illustrate the research findings. Abiotic Stresses is divided into two sections. In the first section, you will find: the general principles of breeding crops for stress resistance genetic engineering and molecular biology procedures for crop improvement for stress environments data on genome mapping and its implications for improving stress resistance in plants information about breeding for resistance/tolerance to salinity, drought, flooding, metals, low nutrient availability, high/low temperaturesThe second section of this timely resource focuses on the efforts of acknowledged specialists who concentrated their efforts on important individual crops, such as: wheat barley rice maize oilseed crops cotton tomatoThis book fills a niche and interface in the available literature as it deals with all of the major stresses from a perspective of crop breeding, covering the latest advances in molecular breeding technology. Abiotic Stresses will help scientists and academics in botany, plant breeding, plant environmental stress studies, agriculture, and horticulture modify and improve breeding programs globally. |

Agricultural Information Systems Development $61 Science and Technology are essential ingredients for agricultural and rural development as exemplified in the green revolution in Asia but similar efforts have not been as successful in Africa. In Uganda agriculture is being modernised; but adoption of ICT remains limited. Policies and scientific recommendations can be contradictory, thereby exacerbating the challenge of natural resource sustainability. This book is a roadmap to the problem: it shows how information systems are helping solve land related problems, shows how useful stakeholder analysis can be a requirement elicitation tool in information systems development. The book is a one stop centre for useful resources about Agriculture in Uganda, and advocates for sustainable management of natural resource base; one of the targets of the Comprehensive Africa Agricultural Development Programme (CAADP) a framework endorsed for restoration of agriculture growth, food security, and rural development in Africa. The information and the rigor of analysis is suited for professionals in natural resource sciences, physical sciences, governement and for anyone else interested in ICT4D. |

Biobased Lubricants and Greases: Technology and Products $125 With rising petroleum prices as well as increasing environmental concerns, there is a need to develop biochemicals and bioproducts that offer realistic alternatives to their traditional counterparts. Biobased Lubricants and Greases addresses the lack of a centralized resource of information on lubricants and greases from renewable sources, providing a practical guide to the different biobased lubrication technologies available and their relative material benefits. Based on the authors’ 17 years of research and development at the US National Ag-Based Lubricants (NABL) Center, it discusses the various types of vegetable oil available, comparing their characteristics, properties and benefits against those of typical petroleum oils as well as discussing common evaluation tests and giving examples and case studies of successful applications of biobased lubricants and greases.Engineers, academics and students involved in tribological research as well as research related to the petroleum and agriculture industries will find Biobased Lubricants and Greases an invaluable source of information.Provides a detailed review of the material benefits of plant-based lubricants that include a better viscosity index and lubricity even at extreme temperatures, lower flammability due to higher flash points and lower pour pointsCovers the basic chemistry of vegetable oils as their profiles for use in lubricants and greases and environmental benefitsInclude examples and case studies, focussing on an industrial application of lubrication technology undergoing current explosive growth in the global market Written in an accessible manner and illustrated throughout including a colour plate section |

Excerpt: Cuenca, Ecuador – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia According to studies and archeological discoveries, the origins of the first inhabitants go back to the year 8060 BC in the Cave of Chopsi. They were hunters, hunting everything the Páramo offered them, and also nomads moving from one place to another. Tools such as arrows and spears, found throughout the Andean alley, are signs of the beginning of this culture. Their presence dates back to approximately 5585 BC. The early inhabitants used the stable climate, fertile soil and abundant water to develop agriculture. They grew potatoes, melloco, chocho, squash and quinoa. They also domesticated animals such as cuys, llamas, and alpacas. Their technology also advanced; they started using ceramics, which are the main archaeological material from which to study their culture. There isnt much information from between 5000 and 2000 B.C., since remains dating from that era havent been found. Around 2000 B.C began a more organized society, demonstrating delegated responsibilities, such as the managing of water, control of plagues and there was a differentiation between administrative and religious authorities (known as shamans). This occurred during the periods of Chaullabamba, Huayco, Pirincay, Monjas, Putushio, Huancarcucho and Jubones. From then until 500 AD began the periods of Tacalshapa III and Cañari. Cuenca was originally a Cañari settlement called Guapondeleg. It is believed to have been founded around 500 AD. Guapondeleg translates into “land as big as hea… |
