Rice Cultivation under Abiotic Stresses: Challenges and Opportunities provides a unique look at three key factors in optimized rice yield - cultivation practices, understanding abiotic stress response, and mitigation strategies - enabling the reader to better understand the cause, effect, and means of protecting rice crop yield. It is a uniquely comprehensive resource for advancing the sustainable and optimal production of rice that will be a valuable resource for researchers and advanced students in Agriculture, Agronomy, Botany, Plant Physiology, and Environmental Science.Rice is the primary source of energy for over half of the world’s people. It can play a vital role against mal and under nutrition, but as climate and other abiotic challenges continue to impact yield, steps need to be taken to ensure production.

Presents technical advances, including the use of artificial intelligence and the status of C4 riceExplores cultural practices in rice cultivation, including submergent tolerant rice and heavy metals stress tolerant mechanisms for translational insightsTargeted specifically for issues related to the environment

This book collects many of the presented papers, as plenary presentations, mini-symposia invited presentations, or contributed talks, from the European Conference on Numerical Mathematics and Advanced Applications (ENUMATH) 2017. The conference was organized by the University of Bergen, Norway from September 25 to 29, 2017. Leading experts in the field presented the latest results and ideas in the designing, implementation, and analysis of numerical algorithms as well as their applications to relevant, societal problems.ENUMATH is a series of conferences held every two years to provide a forum for discussing basic aspects and new trends in numerical mathematics and scientific and industrial applications. These discussions are upheld at the highest level of international expertise. The first ENUMATH conference was held in Paris in 1995 with successive conferences being held at various locations across Europe, including Heidelberg (1997), Jyvaskyla (1999), lschia Porto (2001), Prague (2003), Santiago de Compostela (2005), Graz (2007), Uppsala (2009), Leicester (2011), Lausanne (2013), and Ankara (2015).

This epigraphic study of the political geography of two historical regions, Dak?i?a Ko?ala and Vidarbha between fourth and thirteenth centuries, focuses on the interaction of physical and human geography as re­flected in the changing nature of settlement patterns both rural and urban and their political organization through time – an important exercise, based primarily on Sanskrit inscriptions from the period and the region. The study contributes to further substantiation of the critical significance of the conception of early medieval in the study of Indian history. Since almost all the inscriptions are in the nature of land grants to Brahamans, shrines and monasteries, a related area of investigation is the extent of agrarian expansion in the context of political and admin­istrative changes initiated by a series of dynasties across centuries. This also involved a gradual growth of a sense of affiliation with the region or conscious effort to appropriate its identity by the ruling dynasties. The book critically analyses the data meticulously presented in tabulated form – an established method in inscription-based studies of early medieval India. It thus adds to our knowledge and understanding of the region as it has gradually evolved over several centuries through the early medieval period.
