This book covers all aspects and elements of rolling technology in one volume with even the most technical jargon being communicated in an easy to understand language. The book is exhaustive as topics ranging from rolls, rolls cooling, roll turning, roll reclamation, investigation of roll breakage, roll management and roll bearing all have been dealt in detail as these constitute the most important element of production cost. A separate chapter has been dedicated to operational management of a rolling mill, which includes safety and inventory. Packaging of the finished products and modern operating mill practices and technologies are also discussed in detail. This book will be a useful tool for shop floor personnel and for all senior management operating in the rolling mill industry; it is also a must read for all polytechnic / engineering students of metallurgical / mechanical / process engineering.This book may also be useful as reference book for students/professionals of rolling technology.

Note: T&F does not sell or distribute the Hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

In the last 50 years, classical breeding has played a significant role in achieving higher crop productivity, but major crops have reached a plateau in their yield potential. Therefore, the current focus for sustainable intensification of agriculture is the use of biotechnological approaches to enhance the yield potential by combating the yield losses that occur due to abiotic stresses. The abiotic stresses are governed by multigenes, and therefore, a holistic approach is needed to get success in imparting stress tolerance to enhance the yield potential of our crops.

Plants face multiple stress conditions during their life stages and adopt several physiological, biochemical, and molecular strategies to combat that, which are sometimes not sufficient to survive, particularly crop plants. The climate change era has created a need to understand the abiotic stresses in a holistic way. Therefore, a deep understanding of multiple abiotic stress mechanisms is necessary to develop crops tolerant to climate fluctuation.

With this background, the outline of this book covers the following features:• Agriculture sustainability and molecular understanding of multiple stress tolerance• Systems biology for life-history strategies, conventional and genomic approaches above and underground• Genetic resources and molecular understanding of seed priming• Molecular signaling compounds, cell signal transduction, and crosstalk between plant growth hormones and regulators• Roles Transcription factors, LEA proteins, reactive oxygen species and alternative oxidase• Genome editing, metabolomics, and ‘omics’ technologies
