  • Maize Agriculture

    Remote Sensing, Artificial Intelligence, and Advance Phenotyping
    • 1st Edition
    • Sheikh Mansoor + 5 more
    • English
    As the global population approaches 9 billion, the pressure on agriculture to produce sufficient food will escalate, leading to significant challenges in sustainable food production. Maize Agriculture addresses the urgent need to develop improved maize cultivars grown under advanced technological conditions to combat these future food shortages and nutritional deficiencies. Furthermore, climate change, with its impacts on temperature, precipitation, carbon dioxide levels, and the frequency and severity of extreme weather events, is likely to significantly affect soil water availability, carbon storage, and crop yields. This book digs into these pressing issues, offering an in-depth exploration review of the latest technologies in maize research. This comprehensive resource covers a wide range of topics essential for modern maize agriculture. Beginning with an overview of global maize production, the book progresses through chapters on advanced phenotyping platforms for sustainable maize production. Following that, it explores the integration of genomics and phenomics for maize breeding and the application of AI and machine learning models for genomic trait prediction. Further chapters discuss the use of GIS and global databases for agricultural planning, remote sensing for biotic and abiotic stress monitoring, and advanced AI-based approaches for disease management. Each chapter is carefully structured to provide in-depth insights and practical applications, ensuring a thorough understanding of the subject matter. Maize Agriculture is an invaluable resource for upper-level undergraduate students and researcher across various life science and agriculture disciplines, including agriculture, horticulture, botany, biochemistry, and biotechnology. Additionally, maize breeders, agronomists, and agricultural professionals engaged in maize research will find the actionable strategies in this book invaluable. By integrating digital tools with traditional farming practices, this book ensures that readers are prepared for the future of maize agriculture.

  • Glial Mechanisms in Sleep and Circadian Biology

    • 1st Edition
    • Marcos G. Frank
    • English
    Glial Mechanisms in Sleep and Circadian Biology presents a comprehensive and up-to-date discussion of the role of glial cells in numerous, often unexpected, aspects of sleep. It seamlessly links glial cell activity to the multi-system processes that affect sleep. Experts in the field discuss how glial cells influence the sleep-wake cycle, the accumulation and discharge of sleep drive, the timing of sleep and wake across the 24-hour day, and how glial cells may govern important sleep functions (e.g., brain plasticity and metabolism). This is a book that could well change scientists’ and practitioners’ traditional beliefs about the factors underlying sleep.Users will find the book's content at the forefront of one of the hottest topics in basic sleep research. Over the last decade, scientists have made breakthrough discoveries revealing that sleep is not only a product of neurons, but of neuronal-glial interactions.

    Population Neuroimaging covers important themes within population neuroimaging and provides the reader with the tools to understand and engage in population-based neuroimaging studies. This emerging field empowers readers to understand brain structure, function, development, and aging within the general population, including the inherent variety and diversity of health or illness within the population. Unlike studies that recruit patients with specific illnesses, population neuroimaging encompasses epidemiological approaches to better understand genetic and environmental factors that contribute to both brain health and brain disorders in the population at large.
