This book presents a combined analysis of the geochemical, physio-chemical, biological and analytical techniques to provide a better understanding of the biogeochemical cycling of heavy metals in ex-mining areas. The findings presented in this book provide a basis for evaluation of the environmental impacts of mining activities, especially tin mining. The chapters provide a general picture of the land use, geography, concentration and chemical...

In the recent years, the looming food scarcity problem has highlighted plant sciences as an emerging discipline committed to devise new strategies for enhanced crop productivity. The major factors causing food scarcity are biotic and abiotic stresses such as plant pathogens, salinity, drought, flooding, nutrient deficiency or toxicity which substantially limit crop productivity world-wide. In this scenario, strategies should be adopted to achi...

The hill-torrent region in arid environment of Pakistan is generally associated with low return per unit of water and land due to unpredictable supply of torrent flows for agriculture use. Spate irrigation system based on hill torrent floods is practiced in different parts of the world, e.g. Middle East, Africa, West Asia, and Latin America. A thorough appraisal and optimal utilization of hill-torrents potential is essential for efficient plan...

As we embark into the 21st century, we need to address new challenges ranging from population growth, climate change, and depletion of natural resources to providing better health care, food security and peace to humankind, while at the same time protecting natural ecosystems that provide the services which allow life to flourish on Earth. To meet those challenges, profound changes are required in the way that societies conduct their everyday ...

The fragile ecosystem of the Himalayan river basins has been an increasing cause of concern to environmentalists and water resources planners in the South Asian region. Keeping in view the already precarious water situation at river basin level, the demand-driven approach in the Himalayan region needs to be shifted to integrated water resources management in this region. An integrated hydrological and geospatial modeling techniques was adopted...

The present study is an attempt to identify the financial issues of SMEs of Pakistan. Pakistan's cotton ginning industry has chosen as a case. The general objective of the study is to analyze the financing issues of the small-scale industries with appropriate alternatives and financing solutions. The extensive theoretical framework about financing of SMEs along with seven hypotheses (for testing) has been included in research work as base of s...

There has been an upsurge in the number of coronary artery disease (CAD) cases worldwide, of late now, and CAD, as such, looms large among the killer diseases of the world. In the current scenario, India stands as the CAD capital of the world. It is postulated that more than half of the worldwide cardiovascular risk burden will be borne by India and the Indian sub-continent in the next decade [Gupta R et al, 2008]. There is a significant diffe...

The book dicusses the various methods of culture of natural food and then their replacement with encapsulated artificial diets. Natural as well as artificial feeds were encapsulated for both striped bass and inland silverside. Artificial diets were totally casein-based while natural diet consisted of Artemia nauplii, daphnia and rotifers. The composition of artificial diet was totally based on nutritionl composition of natural food. For this p...

Agriculture extension is considered an organizational vehicle for transferring technology and involves the communication of innovations to farmers, especially their effective use. Decentralization of agricultural extension has been adopted in many countries. The main rationale for the move is that decentralized administration shifts decision-making authority to lower administrative and political levels. The concept is sound, but its implementa...

Soil salinity is one of the major abiotic stresses, which pose a severe threat to agriculture in arid and semiarid regions of world. Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L) is moderately sensitive to salinity with a threshold value of 1.7 dS m-1. However, wide differences were found in this crop for salinity tolerance. Potassium (K) and silicon (Si) significantly (P =0.05) improved growth, yield and juice quality of sugarcane under salt stress. Th...
