Tropical deltas of the world are in decline and are threatened by climate change, geo-environmental dynamics, natural hazards, and disasters. This book is a comprehensive discussion of the present delta crisis and the various risks the deltas are facing due to human and natural factors. It addresses their resilience, the importance of biodiversity, and the future adaptations for sustainable management of tropical deltas. The use of geospatial tools for the assessment and modeling of environmental degradations and the applications of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are examined in 22 chapters, from different major deltas of the world, to help readers understand the interdisciplinary perspective of deltas’ vulnerability and sustainability.

Features

This reference book is for researchers, academics, graduate and senior undergraduate students in geography, geomorphology, hydrology, regional planning, environmental science, ecology, and engineering, and those interested in water conservation and sustainability, including professionals in industry and government, and human rights activists.

This book covers various aspects of radiation oncology, its principles and practice in the management of cancer types and sites in the human body. The book is in two volumes: Volume One is devoted to basic and technical aspects; Volume Two provides the clinical basis of modern radiation oncology. The chapters focus on an evidence-based multidisciplinary approach to cancer management covering the indications, contouring, treatment technique, outcomes, and toxicities related to radiotherapy for various cancer sites. It includes separate chapters on radiation biology, physics, and palliative care. Additionally, the book also addresses contemporary topics including artificial intelligence in radiation oncology, the role of protons/heavy ions, and the conduct of clinical trials in radiation oncology.

The book is a relevant resource for busy radiation oncology physicians, practitioners, and trainees/residents/fellows seeking to utilize evidence in the literature to guide the management of radiation therapy patients. The book can be valuable for other disciplines such as surgical oncology, medical oncology, palliative medicine in cancer management including basic scientists working in both developed and developing countries.  

This textbook for graduate and postgraduate students provides comprehensive applications of nanoparticles in medicine, agriculture, and environmental sciences. The initial chapter covers basic topics related to types, synthesis, structure, and properties of various nanoparticles. It further discusses the wide range of applications of nanoparticles in medicine, agriculture, and the environment. The book presents nano-electronic biosensors that are used to diagnose and monitor the progression of human diseases. It summarizes the opportunities and challenges of nanotechnology in the agriculture and food sector highlighting the scientific, technical, regulatory, safety, and societal impacts.

Additionally, it illustrates the applications of nanotechnology in the field of aquaculture medicine, bioinformatics and food technology. The textbook examines the development and administration  of nano-medicines , their applications, advantages, and limitations for the treatmentand prophylaxis of a broad range of diseases. Lastly, the textbook explores the recent advances in the field of nanobusiness and nanotechnology issues in intellectual property management( IPR).
