DNA damage is termed as the damage that is caused to DNA by naturally occurring processes such as hydrolysis and metabolism and ultraviolet radiation. DNA repair is the process by which the body rebuilds damaged DNA. The symptoms of DNA damage is the development of lesions which cause breaks in the strands of DNA or remove base pairs from the DNA backbone. Aging, cancer, and apoptosis are long-term symptoms of DNA damage. This book provides significant information of this discipline to help develop a good understanding of DNA damage and repair. It aims to serve as a resource guide for students and experts alike and contribute to the growth of the discipline.

Sports science studies the importance of exercise and the response of the human body to physical training. It incorporates areas such as anatomy, physiology and biokinetics. Sports science has four disciplines namely physiology of sports performance, biomechanics of sporting movement, sports psychology and sociology of sports. This book covers in detail some existent theories and innovative concepts revolving around sports science. It is an essential guide for both academicians and those who wish to pursue this discipline further.

The introduction of harmful pollutants into water bodies is known as water pollution. Sources of water pollution include point sources such as factories, non-point sources such as pollution through runoff and groundwater pollution through aquifers, etc. Contaminants include organic substances like detergents, pesticides and insecticides, petroleum, etc. and inorganic pollutants like ammonia, heavy metals, fertilizers, etc. The topics included in this book on water pollution are of utmost significance and are bound to provide incredible insights to readers. It is a complete source of knowledge on the present status of this important field.

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) use satellites to gather relevant data and information for accurate representations of the Earth and its geographic features. It provides a simple solution so as to sort, classify and monitor the various environmental and geographical (natural and human) processes that are occurring in the world. GIS often rely on maps of various scales to interpret new information. Precise GIS models have diverse industrial applications. This book on GIS approaches for remote sensing and photogrammetry will help new researchers by foregrounding their knowledge in this branch. It aims to serve as a resource guide for students and experts alike and contribute to the growth of the discipline.

Soil ecosystems are rich in biodiverse elements that contribute greatly to the sustenance of life on Earth. This book on soil ecosystems management discusses techniques and methods related to the restoration of soil health and vitality and the appearance of essential nutrients such as oxygen and hydrogen in soil. Soil also plays a crucial role in the decomposition of waste materials that could otherwise enter natural water sources. Maintaining soil ecological balance for the growth of plants and crops is crucial in this field. This book on soil ecosystems management includes contributions of experts and scientists that will provide innovative insights into this field. Students, researchers, and experts associated with this field will benefit alike from this book.

Microbial physiology studies the cell structure, metabolism and genetic structure of microorganisms. The fundamental concern of this subject is to understand the characteristics of complex organisms by studying single-celled organisms. Microorganisms are vital in many environmental and industrial processes such as digestion, bioremediation, decomposition, fermentation, etc. This book explores all the important aspects of microbial physiology in the present day scenario. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.
