    Description / Table of Contents: Contribution of human and animal to the microbial world and ecological balance -- Determinants of the Gut Microbiota -- Effects of Diet on Human Gut Microbiome and Subsequent Influence on Host 1 Physiology and Metabolism. -Probiotics and prebiotics on intestinal flora and gut health -- Role of the gut flora in human nutrition and gut health -- Gut microbiome in inflammation and chronic enteric infections -- Role of gut microbiome in colorectal cancer -- Gut microbiota and risk for atherosclerosis: current understanding of the mechanisms -- Gut microbiome and its role in enteric infections with microbial pathogens -- Antibiotic Therapy and its Effect on Gut Microbiome in Obesity and Weight loss -- Impact of gut microbiota on host through exploring proteomics -- Modulation of gut flora and its application in food animal products -- Index.
    Abstract: This book provides a comprehensive examination of the role of gut microbiome/microflora in nutrition, metabolism, disease prevention and health issues, including farm animal health and food value, and human gastrointestinal health and immunity. Indigenous microbiotas, particularly the gut microflora/microbiome, are an essential component in the modern concept of human and animal health. The diet and lifestyle of the host and environment have direct impact on gut microflora and the patterns of gut microbial colonization associated with health and diseases have been documented. Contributing authors cover the impact of gut microbiome in farm animal health, and explore the possibility of modulating the human gut microbiome with better animal products to prevent human diseases, including endemic and emerging diseases such as obesity, cancer and cardiac diseases. Dieting plan and control methods are examined, with attention paid to balance dieting with natural food and drink components. In addition, the role of gut microbiota in enteric microbial colonization and infections in farm animals is also discussed. The volume also explores the possibility of improving human health by modulating the microbiome with better food, including bio-active foods and appropriate forms of intake. Throughout the chapters, authors examine cutting edge research and technology, as well as future directions for better practices regarding emerging issues, such as the safety and production of organic food.

    Abstract: The monograph focuses on agricultural meteorology and climate change and its impacts on different crops. Comprising of chapters from experts, the book discusses and provides first-hand information to the long term shifts in weather patterns and temperature impacting soil, water and crops. Each chapter focuses in detail on the impact of plant- water – soil nexus and climate change on agriculture and food security. Covering the basic concepts about the temperature, pressure and humidity correlation with the increased demands of food, the book explores in detail the impact of adverse climatic conditions like drought, floods, increasing levels of carbon dioxide emissions and other simultaneous effects like soil fertility depletion on the cropping systems and overall crop productivity. The book touches the challenges of climate change, adaptive methods, mitigation strategies, with careful explanation of governance, plans and policies required to provide guidelines to stake holders so they can best prepare for the negative climate change impacts. While touching the agricultural challenges faced globally due to climate change, the book serves as a reference book for students, researchers and policy makers, involved in horticulture, agriculture and environmental sciences and climate change.

    Description / Table of Contents: About this book -- Understanding Cambodia -- Phnom Penh Water Supply Authority -- Four Domain (4-D) Framework for analysis of urban water utility -- Analysis of PPWSA -- Gap analysis of four domains -- Views of the customers -- Key challenges facing PPWSA -- Lessons learnt for developing countries -- A Management Tool Kit for Chief Executives.
    Abstract: This book analyses how a water utility from a developing country, Phnom Penh Water Supply Authority, that was totally dysfunctional, corruption-ridden and literally bankrupt in 1993, became one of the most successful water utilities of the developing world in only about 15 years. By 2010, some of the performance indicators of this public sector utility were even better than London, Paris or Los Angeles. The book further analyses the enabling conditions that made this remarkable transformation possible. Based on this analysis, a framework is recommended for water utilities from developing countries so that they can also be transformed into functional, efficient, equitable and financially viable institutions on a sustainable basis.
