Origami 4

Origami 4

The connections between origami mathematics science technology and education have been a topic of considerable interest now for several decades. While many individuals have happened upon discrete connections among these fields during the twentieth century the field really took off when previously isolated individuals began to make stronger connections with each other through a series of conferences exploring the links between origami and the outside world. The Fourth International Meeting on Origami in Science Mathematics and Education (4OSME) held in September 2006 at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena California brought together an unprecedented number of researchers presenting on topics ranging from mathematics to technology to educational uses of origami to fine art and to computer programs for the design of origami. Selected papers based on talks presented at that conference make up the book you hold in your hands. | Origami 4

Mary F. Cleugh on Teaching Children with Learning Differences 3 Volume Set

Mary F. Cleugh on Teaching Children with Learning Differences 3 Volume Set

Dr Mary Frances Cleugh (1913-1986) was a philosopher and educationalist. She worked for many years at the University of London Institute of Education where she led a 1-year course for teachers of ESN children. Originally published in 1961 the three volumes of this work which at the time took their place as complete and up-to-date guides to the subjects they cover were written by former students now practicing teachers who had passed through the Institute’s course. The volumes each in a different setting cover every part of the curriculum from the point of view of the 'slow' learner. These books are re-issues originally published in 1961. The language used is a reflection of its era and no offence is meant by the Publishers to any reader by this re-publication. | Mary F.

Biology and Biotechnology of Environmental Stress Tolerance in Plants 3-Volume Set

Biology and Biotechnology of Environmental Stress Tolerance in Plants 3-Volume Set

This new 3-volume set provides a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms that mediate biosynthesis accumulation and degradation of plant metabolites so as to employ novel strategies to improve crop production and enhance abiotic stress tolerance in plants. Abiotic stresses such as drought high salt cold heat UV radiation heavy metal pollution etc. are increasingly responsible for restricting plant growth and agricultural production and are becoming more alarming due to threats from global climate change. To combat these threats it is imperative to study the underlying mechanisms of stress tolerance from diverse metabolites and the biosynthesis pathways for metabolite production to maintain osmotic balance under diverse environmental stresses. Biology and Biotechnology of Environmental Stress Tolerance in Plants provides that understanding. Volume 1: Secondary Metabolites in Environmental Stress Tolerance focuses exclusively on the diverse secondary metabolites that play a major role in the adaptation of plants to the environment and in overcoming stress conditions as well as their implications in enhancing tolerance mechanisms. The chapters in this section review and integrate the currently available information on the protective role rendered by a wide array of antioxidative secondary metabolites and their regulation during diverse environmental stress. Volume 2: Trace Elements in Environmental Stress Tolerance throws light on the different inorganic trace elements including metal nanoparticles that help to deal with various environmental stresses. While these elements at high level create considerable phytotoxicity and halt metabolic and enzymatic activity they also promote growth and development in limited quantity so that they have significant potential in revamping plant morphology and physiology under stressed conditions. Hence optimum concentration management of these elements can help to mitigate world hunger and contribute toward sustainable agriculture and food security under challenging environments. Volume 3: Sustainable Approaches for Enhancing Environmental Stress Tolerance focuses on the agronomic and biochemical approaches as well as biotechnological and high-throughput technologies including the prospects of genetic engineering epigenetics and the latest CRISPR/Cas technology in generating stress-tolerant plants. The volume provides a clear road map for the implementation of techniques for improving abiotic stress tolerance in plants for better sustenance. Key features: Provides an advanced understanding of the mechanisms of action of secondary metabolites and trace elements in environmental stress tolerance as well as the different agronomic and biotechnological methods that enhances stress tolerance Looks at the overall metabolic pathways and genetic engineering giving a holistic view of plant-level studies of diverse abiotic stresses affecting different metabolic pathways Provides the groundwork to help researchers in designing future programs for identifying novel genes and proteins and targeting proper pathways to develop climate-resilient plants Altogether the three-volume Biology and Biotechnology of Environmental Stress Tolerance in Plants will enhance our understanding of plant responses to environmental stresses and enable implementation of programs and practices that can help us to develop climate-resilient plants with better performance for better yield and quality. | Biology and Biotechnology of Environmental Stress Tolerance in Plants 3-Volume Set
