Despite the increasing population (the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations estimates 70% more food will be needed in 2050 than was produced in 2006), issues related to food production have yet to be completely addressed. In recent years, Internet of Things technology has begun to be used to address different industrial and technical challenges to meet this growing need. These Agro-IoT tools boost productivity and minimize the pitfalls of traditional farming, which is the backbone of the world's economy. Aided by the IoT, continuous monitoring of fields provides useful and critical information to farmers, ushering in a new era in farming. The IoT can be used as a tool to combat climate change through greenhouse automation; monitor and manage water, soil and crops; increase productivity; control insecticides/pesticides; detect plant diseases; increase the rate of crop sales; cattle monitoring etc.Agricultural Informatics: Automation Using the IoT and Machine Learning focuses on all these topics, including a few case studies, and they give a clear indication as to why these techniques should now be widely adopted by the agriculture and farming industries.

In recent years there has been considerable interest in studying the DENSITY-OF-STATES (DOS) functions and Related Applications in Quantized Structures of different technologically important materials in low dimensional electronics. The concept of DOS function is of fundamental importance for not only the characterization of semiconductor nanostructures but also in the study of the carrier transport in quantum effect devices. The acoustic mobility limited momentum relaxation time is inversely proportional to the respective DOS function of a particular semiconductor and the DOS function, in turn, is connected to the twenty five important transport topics of quantum effect devices namely the Landau Dia and Pauli's Para Magnetic Susceptibilities, the Einstein's Photoemission, the Einstein Relation, the Debye Screening Length, the Generalized Raman gain, the Normalized Hall coefficient, the Fowler-Nordheim Field Emission, the Gate Capacitance, the Thermoelectric Power, the Plasma Frequency, the Magneto-Thermal effect in Quantized Structures, the Activity coefficient, the Reflection coefficient, the Heat Capacity, the Faraday rotation, the Optical Effective Mass, the Carrier contribution to the elastic constants, the Diffusion coefficient of the minority carriers, the Nonlinear optical response, the Third order nonlinear optical susceptibility, the Righi-Leduc coefficient, the Electric Susceptibility, the Electric Susceptibility Mass, the Electron Diffusion Thermo-power and the Hydrostatic Piezo-resistance Coefficient respectively.This first-of-a-kind monograph investigates the DOS function and the aforementioned applications in quantized structures of tetragonal and non-linear optical, III-V, II-VI, Gallium Phosphide, Germanium, Platinum Antimonide, stressed, IV-VI, Lead Germanium Telluride, II-V, Zinc and Cadmium diphosphides and Bismuth Telluride respectively.
