    Abstract: This open access book will provide an introduction to forest entomology, the principles and techniques of forest insect pest management, the different forest insect guilds/feeding groups, and relevant forest insect pest management case studies. In addition to covering 30% of the earth, forest ecosystems provide numerous timber and non-timber products that affect our daily lives and recreational opportunities, habitat for diverse animal communities, watershed protection, play critical roles in the water cycle, and mitigate soil erosion and global warming. In addition to being the most abundant organisms in forest ecosystems, insects perform numerous functions in forests, many of which are beneficial and critical to forest health. Conversely, some insects damage and/or kill trees and reduce the capacity of forests to provide desired ecosystem services. The target audience of this book is upper-level undergraduate and graduate students and professionals interested in forest health and entomology.

    Spatial Dynamics and Ecology of Large Ungulate Populations in Tropical Forests of India (2021)

    Keywords: Conservation biology. ; Ecology . ; Biotic communities. ; Population biology. ; Animal migration. ; Conservation Biology. ; Theoretical and Statistical Ecology. ; Community and Population Ecology. ; Animal Migration.
    Description / Table of Contents: Chapter 1. The conservation issue -- Chapter 2. Development of hierarchical spatial models for assessing ungulate abundance and habitat relationships -- Chapter 3. Model-based assessment of ungulate-habitat relationships -- Chapter 4. Assessing threats to ungulates and management responses -- Chapter 5. Conservation of tropical forest ungulates: the way forward.
    Abstract: Large ungulates in tropical forests are among the most threatened taxa of mammals. Excessive hunting, degradation of and encroachments on their natural habitats by humans have contributed to drastic reductions in wild ungulate populations in recent decades. As such, reliable assessments of ungulate-habitat relationships and the spatial dynamics of their populations are urgently needed to provide a scientific basis for conservation efforts. However, such rigorous assessments are methodologically complex and logistically difficult, and consequently many commonly used ungulate population survey methods do not address key problems. As a result of such deficiencies, key parameters related to population distribution, abundance, habitat ecology and management of tropical forest ungulates remain poorly understood. This book addresses this critical knowledge gap by examining how population abundance patterns in five threatened species of large ungulates vary across space in the tropical forests of the Nagarahole-Bandipur reserves in southwestern India. It also explains the development and application of an innovative methodology – spatially explicit line transect sampling – based on an advanced hierarchical modelling under the Bayesian inferential framework, which overcomes common methodological deficiencies in current ungulate surveys. The methods and results presented provide valuable reference material for researchers and professionals involved in studying and managing wild ungulate populations around the globe. .

    Abstract: This open access book explores a wide-ranging discussion about the sociopolitical, cultural, and scientific ramifications of speciesism and world views that derive from it. In this light, it integrates subjects across the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities. The 21st-century western world is anthropocentric to an extreme; we adopt unreasonably self-centered and self-serving ideas and lifestyles. Americans consume more energy resources per person than most other nations on Earth and have little concept of how human ecology and population biology interface with global sustainability. We draw upon religion, popular culture, politics, and technology to justify our views and actions, yet remain self-centered because our considerations rarely extend beyond our immediate interests. Stepping upward on the hierarchy from “racism,” “speciesism” likewise refers to the view that unique natural kinds (species) exist and are an important structural element of biodiversity. This ideology manifests in the cultural idea that humans are distinct from and intrinsically superior to other forms of life. It further carries a plurality of implications for how we perceive ourselves in relation to nature, how we view Judeo-Christian religions and their tenets, how we respond to scientific data about social problems such as climate change, and how willing we are to change our actions in the face of evidence. .

    Fungi and Food Spoilage (2022)
    Cham :Springer International Publishing :
    Details
    Keywords: Food science. ; Fungi. ; Mycology. ; Microbiology. ; Pharmacology. ; Ecology . ; Food Science. ; Fungi. ; Pharmacology. ; Ecology.
    Description / Table of Contents: Ch-01 : Introduction -- Ch-2. Ecology of Fungal Food Spoilage -- Ch 3. Naming and Classifying Fungi -- Ch-4 Methods for Enumeration, Isolation and Identification -- Ch-5 Primary Keys and Miscellaneous Fungi -- Ch 6- Zygomycetes -- Ch 7 Penicillium and Talaromyces -- Ch 8 Aspergillus and Related Teleomorphs -- Ch 9 Xerophiles -- Ch 10 - Yeasts -- Ch 11: Fresh and Perishable Foods -- Ch 12- Spoilage of Stored, Processed and Preserved Foods -- Ch 13: Mycotoxins.
    Abstract: The first three editions of Fungi and Food Spoilage established, then consolidated, a reputation as the leading book on foodborne fungi. It details media and methods for isolation and identification, descriptions of species, and information on their physiology, ecology and mycotoxin formation. It is an invaluable reference for food microbiologists investigating fungal food spoilage problems, both in field crops and processed foods, and the likelihood of mycotoxin production in either. The Fourth Edition incorporates major differences from the Third: multiple changes in nomenclature due to changes in the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi and plants; many taxonomic changes due to improvements in, and more widespread application of, molecular methods in taxonomy; the introduction of colour colony photographs where appropriate; and a new chapter on mycotoxins. The introductory chapters of the book deal with the ecology of food spoilage, and provide an overview of how food processing, packaging and storage parameters influence fungal growth. A subsequent chapter overviews the fundamentals of naming and classifying fungi. Morphological methods and media suitable for low cost and effective isolation, enumeration and identification of foodborne fungi are provided, together with many more specialised media and techniques. The major part of the book provides keys, descriptions and illustrations of all yeasts and filamentous fungi commonly encountered in foods. Other known characteristics of the species, including physiology and ecology are included. Chapters on the types and species of fungi likely to be found in fresh, harvested and variously processed foods are followed by a new chapter on mycotoxins, both major and minor, their sources, both fungal and food, and their implications for human health. The broad and practical nature of the coverage will appeal to microbiologists, mycologists and biotechnologists in the food industry, as well scientists in academic, research and public health institutions. Drs Pitt and Hocking worked for CSIRO Food for more than 100 years combined. Both are now retired from CSIRO: Dr Pitt continues to work part time with Microbial Screening Technologies, a biodiscovery company.

    Details
    Keywords: Pharmaceutical chemistry. ; Drug delivery systems. ; Drugs Design. ; Pharmacology. ; Pharmacy. ; Proteins Synthesis. ; Pharmaceutics. ; Drug Delivery. ; Structure-Based Drug Design. ; Pharmacology. ; Pharmacy. ; Protein Synthesis and Translation.
    Description / Table of Contents: Basic Concepts of Design of Peptide based Therapeutics -- Computational Methods in Peptide Based Drug Design -- Synthesis, Purification, and Characterization of Linear and Cyclic Peptides -- Large Scale Synthesis of Peptides, Manufacturing Peptide Therapeutics -- Stability of Peptides -- Peptide Delivery Systems -- Liposomes and Nanoparticle Formulations for Peptide Delivery -- Delivery of Peptides Across the Blood-brain Barrier (BBB) -- Peptide Therapeutics Regulatory Considerations.
    Abstract: This book explains how peptide-based drug design works, what steps are needed to develop a peptide-based therapeutic, and challenges in synthesis as well as regulatory issues. It covers the design concept of peptide therapeutics from fundamental principles using structural biology and computational approaches. The chapters are arranged in a linear fashion. A fresh graduate or a scientist who works on small molecules can use this to follow the design and development of peptide therapeutics to use as understanding the basic concepts. Each chapter is written by experts from academia as well as industry. Rather than covering extensive literature, the book provides concepts of design, synthesis, delivery, as well as regulatory affairs and manufacturing of peptides in a systematic way with examples in each case. The book can be used as a reference for a pharmaceutical or biomedical scientist or graduate student who wants to pursue their career in peptide therapeutics. Some chapters will be written as a combination of basic principles and protocol so that scientists can adopt these methods to their research work. The examples provided can be used to perform peptide formulation considerations for the designed peptides. The book has nine chapters, and each chapter can be read as an independent unit on a particular concept.

    Description / Table of Contents: Design of Clinical Research and its Practical Approach -- Advanced Design of Experiment Approach to Clinical and Medical Research -- Random Forest and Concept of Decision Tree Model -- Application of Machine Learning in Medical Research -- Statistical Genetic and its Application in Drug Trail -- Statistical Implications for Estimation of Genetic Traits in Human Vaccine Trail -- Statistical Implications and its Practical Approach to Research Methodology -- Statistical Models Approach to Life Threatened Diseases -- Meta Analysis in Clinical and Life Science Research -- Pharmokinitic and Statistical Modelling -- Imputation Methods Approach to Clinical and Life Science Research Data Sets -- Ethical Perspective of Medical Research.
    Abstract: Recent Statistical techniques are one of the basal evidence for clinical research, a pivotal in handling new clinical research and in evaluating and applying prior research. This book explores various choices of statistical tools and mechanisms, analyses of the associations among different clinical attributes. It uses advanced statistical methods to describe real clinical data sets, when the clinical processes being examined are still in the process. This book also discusses distinct methods for building predictive and probability distribution models in clinical situations and ways to assess the stability of these models and other quantitative conclusions drawn by realistic experimental data sets. Design of experiments and recent posthoc tests have been used in comparing treatment effects and precision of the experimentation. This book also facilitates clinicians towards understanding statistics and enabling them to follow and evaluate the real empirical studies (formulation of randomized control trial) that pledge insight evidence base for clinical practices. This book will be a useful resource for clinicians, postgraduates scholars in medicines, clinical research beginners and academicians to nurture high-level statistical tools with extensive scope.
