Animal Behavior An Evolutionary Approach

Animal Behavior An Evolutionary Approach

This title includes a number of Open Access chapters. This book looks at a range of topics covering a variety of animals including how macaques teach their offspring how rats transmit avoidance behavior how supplementary feeding of tree frogs affects their breeding behavior and more. Studies in animal behavior can have far-reaching implications for animals and humans alike such as how humans can improve conservation efforts how to better protect animals—both in the wild and in captivity (zoos) and what can be learned about humans from animals such as how the human brain and behaviors might work. | Animal Behavior An Evolutionary Approach

Biology and Ecology of Toxic Pufferfish

Biology and Ecology of Toxic Pufferfish

This is the first comprehensive book on the biology and ecology of pufferfish also known as blowfish swellfish and globefish. Covering 197 species of pufferfish recorded so far from the marine brackish and freshwater ecosystems of the world this important volume expounds on the toxins and associated poisonings of pufferfish. Importantly the volume also explores the many uses of pufferfish such as in aquariums for their nutritional and culinary value and for their emerging uses in the treatment of pain. Topics covered include: biology and ecology of pufferfish profiles of the world’s marine brackish and freshwater pufferfish species characteristics of TTX (tetrodotoxin) and STX (saxitoxin) of pufferfish pufferfish poisoning and symptoms: treatment and management aquarium uses of pufferfish nutritional and pharmaceutical values of pufferfish diseases and parasites of pufferfish and their management | Biology and Ecology of Toxic Pufferfish

Agricultural Resource Use and Management

Agricultural Resource Use and Management

This title includes a number of Open Access chapters. Agriculture is one of the prime users of water particularly in arid places with already-limited water resources and its effects are diverse and far reaching. Providing a nuanced study of agricultural resource management this informative book takes a four-pronged approach covering research on: • The impact of agriculture on water • The impact of agriculture on soil quality and its ecological health• Energy and greenhouse gases• The impact of a growing population on agricultural resourcesTopics include the connection between chemical fertilizer use in agriculture and stream water quality; beef and dairy production on livestock dairy and crops; livestock and greenhouse gases; energy consumption rates in agriculture; efficient farming techniques such as precision agriculture irrigation management and sustainable water technologies; and more. This informative and accessible volume offers a comprehensive guide to this vital and necessary field of study. | Agricultural Resource Use and Management

Microwave-Assisted Organic Synthesis A Green Chemical Approach

Microwave-Assisted Organic Synthesis A Green Chemical Approach

The large-scale production of chemicals to meet various societal needs has created environmental pollution including pollution from byproducts and improper disposal of waste. With the world facing adverse consequences due to this pollution green chemistry is increasingly being viewed as a means to address this concern. Since most organic syntheses require toxic solvents more reaction time and drastic conditions of temperature conventional methods of organic synthesis are less preferred. Microwave-assisted organic synthesis is considered to be a promising green chemical approach because it reduces reaction time from days or hours to minutes or even seconds and has many other advantages. It helps reduce side reactions and increase yields uses fewer solvents or is almost solvent-free has solid supported reactions and improves purity. This book’s main focus is microwave-assisted organic synthesis processes particularly various reactions such as cycloaddition rearrangement elimination substitution oxidation reduction condensation coupling polymerization nanomaterials synthesis of heterocycles and industrial applications under microwave irradiation. The time is not far off when this methodology will virtually replace existing and cumbersome methods of organic synthesis. | Microwave-Assisted Organic Synthesis A Green Chemical Approach
