This book provides comprehensive insights into the field of orthopedic trauma. It involves diagnosis and treatment of diseases related to the musculoskeletal system. Orthopedics was usually restricted to treating structural deformities but now it has forayed into wider areas such as sports injuries, degenerative diseases, infections, tumors, etc. These problems can affect the physical movement of a person and may persist for a longer period of...

Orthopedic traumatology refers to the treatment of shock or trauma suffered by a person under extreme circumstances or life threatening events. It consists of two procedures first, assessment of the patient, his mental condition, shock he is enduring, and second, assessment of the wound inflicted on him, the depth, width, shape, etc. This book will provide significant information of this field to help develop a good understanding of orthopedic...

Power engineering is the subfield of energy engineering that deals with production, transmission and utilization of electrical energy. Energy engineering on the other hand is the amalgamation of mathematics, chemistry, classical and modern physics. Both of these deal with efficient utilization of energy, facility management and energy services. Some of the topics discussed in this book are power generation, power system management, power trans...

This book unfolds the innovative aspects of water conservation which will be crucial for the progress of this field in the future. Water conservation refers to the study and practice of optimum utilization of water. Although, the population is rapidly growing but the water as a resource is not. Thus, scientists and ecologists argue that soon our society will face a severe water crisis. Therefore, water conservation has become an essential part...

Ecology is a science that studies the interaction of an organism with its surroundings. Aquatic ecology in particular deals with bodies of water such as oceans, ponds, estuaries, lakes, streams and rivers. Types of ecosystems are quite diverse in different aquatic systems, they vary immensely in their composition of plants, animals, minerals, temperature, etc. There are a large number of areas that are studied under aquatic ecology including, ...

This book aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of fisheries management and the recent researches in this field. This discipline generally deals with the harvesting and breeding of fishes. It tries to keep a sustainable balance between the exploitation and replenishment. This balance is necessary for maintaining the aquatic ecosystems. Aquaculture, ecology, food science and technology, molecular biology, nutrition, physiology, a...

Agronomy is the field of science that takes into account a more holistic and integrated view of the agriculture and all the important fields related to it. It encompasses soil classification, crop rotation, irrigation and drainage, plant physiology, plant breeding, soil fertility, weed control, insect and pest control. Crop science on the other hand focuses on the effects of drought, water use efficiency, effect of temperatures on crops, miner...

This book aims to understand the field of physical medicine and rehabilitation. Different approaches, evaluations, methodologies and advanced studies related to this field have been included in this book. Commonly known as physiatry, it deals with the diagnosis and treatment of physical disabilities or impairments. Physiatrists exclusively aim to heal all types of injuries related to bones, muscles and nervous system. It is an upcoming field o...

Ecology is the science which deals with the relation of an organism to its surrounding environment that is, every condition required for its existence. Plant ecology can be further divided into plant ecophysiology, landscape, ecology, plant population ecology, etc. It covers both, basic science and applied science and focuses on water, carbon, and nutrient cycling, physical stress, plant functional traits, and trait diversity, covering ecosyst...

Nutrition studies the interaction of nutrients with other substances present in food while metabolism deals with biochemical transformations occurring inside body cells. They together combine the holistic study of diabetes, lipidemias, obesity, exercise physiology and metabolic syndrome. Both of these work in tandem to provide human beings the knowledge of the effects of various foods and physical activities. From theories to research to pract...

Agriculture is a vast field of study that focuses on cultivating, harvesting and storage of food grains and other plant species of economic importance.
