Irrigation refers to the controlled application of water to agricultural crops and plants to ensure healthy growth and production. A soil is considered ideal for agriculture if it can sustain and yield crops of high quality. To ensure this, the soil must be sufficiently irrigated and provided the essential nutrients required for plant growth. Ensuring suitable soil pH, internal drainage, thriving population of a range of microbes that support growth are some other considerations of a good agricultural practice. These can be achieved by strategic use of nutrients in the form of fertilizers, organic matter and the judicious use of water. This book presents the recent developments in this domain with an emphasis on irrigation water management and good agricultural practices to improve crop health and soil fertility. From theories to research to practical applications, studies related to all contemporary topics of relevance to this field have been included in this book. It will prove to be immensely beneficial to professionals and students in this field.
Bioengineering is the integration of biology and engineering to develop usable products, especially for use in diverse industrial sectors. The field uses principles of fluid mechanics, surface science, mass transfer, thermodynamics and polymer science among many others. Bioengineering is also used to modify or control biological systems in order to sustain or predict chemical and mechanical processes. Some of its prominent applications can be found in the designing of medical and diagnostic devices, genetic modification, biocatalysis, biocompatible materials, etc. The ever growing need of advanced technology has fueled the research in the field of bioengineering in modern times. This book covers in detail some existing theories and innovative concepts revolving around this field. Some of the diverse topics covered herein address the varied branches that fall under this category. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.
The proteomes are a set of proteins that are produced by an organism. Proteomics helps in understanding the movement and interactions of proteins. Modern technologies have been introduced to develop a better understanding of proteomics. The common techniques used are mass spectrometry, differential in-gel electrophoresis, etc. This textbook, with its detailed analyses and data, will prove immensely beneficial to professionals and students involved in this area at various levels. The topics covered in this book offer the readers new insights in the field of proteomics.
Genetic engineering is the study of the process of transforming genomes. It uses the elements and techniques of biotechnology to manipulate the genes and transfer them across organisms to develop better organisms and crops. The processes used in genetic engineering are gene isolation, molecular cloning, genetic transformation, etc. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts in the field of genetic engineering. It presents topics which include various methods and theories used in this vast field. Different approaches, evaluations and methodologies have been included in it. This textbook attempts to assist those with a goal of delving into the field of genetic engineering.
