In recent years, a lot of work has been done in an effort to incorporate Swarm Intelligence (SI) techniques in building an adaptive routing protocol for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs). Since centralized approach for routing in MANETs generally lacks in scalability and fault-tolerance, SI techniques provide a natural solution through a distributed approach for the adaptive routing for MANETs. In SI techniques, the captivating features of insects or mammals are correlated with the real world problems to find solutions. Recently, several applications of bio-inspired and nature-inspired algorithms in telecommunications and computer networks have achieved remarkable success. The main aims/objectives of this book, "Mobile Ad Hoc Networks: Bio-Inspired Quality of Service Aware Routing Protocols", are twofold; firstly it clearly distinguishes between principles of traditional routing protocols and SI based routing protocols, while explaining in detail the analogy between MANETs and SI principles. Secondly, it presents the readers with important Quality of Service (QoS) parameters and explains how SI based routing protocols achieves QoS demands of the applications. This book also gives quantitative and qualitative analysis of some of the SI based routing protocols for MANETs.

The book Dietary Egg: Nutritional and Commercial Facets has been written with the aim of addressing the need for a comprehensive resource on egg production and processing. It has been authored with the purpose of filling the gap in the market for a recent book that provides detailed information on this less commonly explored topic. The book scope is extensive, and it is intended for a diverse audience, including specialists, students, entrepreneurs, academicians, and research scientists. It covers a wide range of topics, from the structure of eggs to their processing and preservation. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of egg production and processing, as well as knowledge and technologies that can be used to improve egg products. It is expected to be a valuable resource for students, researchers, and academicians working in the egg sector. The title of the book is particularly fitting, as it emphasizes the scientific and technological advancements in the field of egg science throughout its content. This book is expected to provide a valuable resource for a variety of professionals working in the dynamic area of egg processing, layer management, quality control, and food technology, as well as students who will gain first-hand information on this subject.
