    • English
    Navigating Endophytic Research for Next-Generation Therapeutics explores the evolving field of endophytic fungal research and applications in combating diseases, addressing environmental challenges, and in shaping the future of therapeutics. The book starts off with a discussion on the biodiversity and biogeography of endophytic fungal communities and describes the bioprospecting of endophytes for drug discovery. In addition, it covers the therapeutic application of endophytic fungi to treat and manage specific diseases and investigates the innovative use of technologies such as genome editing, genetic engineering for enhanced bioactivity, multi-omics-based exploration, and the use of big data and machine learning in endophytic drug discovery.Featuring contributions from experts across fields like mycology, pharmacology, biotechnology, and environment science, this comprehensive, practical, and insightful resource guides those engaged in endophytic fungal research and its transformative potential in next-generation therapeutics.

  • The Auditory Cerebellum

    Function and Dysfunction
    • 1st Edition
    • Jos J. Eggermont
    • English
    The Auditory Cerebellum: Function and Dysfunction focuses on the sensory and cognitive aspects of the cerebellum, with an emphasis on hearing, speech, music, speaking, and singing. This book fills the gap for information needed in audiology and auditory neuroscience, tinnitus, and developmental disorders with a strong auditory component. This book starts with a general overview on the connectivity between the cerebellum and auditory subcortical and cortical areas, including general cortical networks. There are several chapters devoted to the timing aspects of the cerebellum underlying speech and music perception as well as motor aspects in speaking and singing.Also discussed is the role of the cerebellum in hearing impairment, tinnitus, developmental disorders with a strong auditory component, including dyslexia, autism, attention deficit, and hyperactivity disorder. Dr. Jos Eggermont, a leading researcher in the field, uses a systems analysis approach that covers electrophysiology and neural imaging, both in animals and humans.

This book continues coverage of Organ-Specific Toxicologic Pathology and major organ systems not covered in Volume Four, and has been completely revised, making it an essential part of the most authoritative reference on toxicologic pathology for pathologists, toxicologists, research scientists, and regulators studying and making decisions on drugs, biologics, medical devices, and other chemicals, including agrochemicals and environmental contaminants.

  • Patterns, Function and Application of Seed Microbiome

    Bacteria, Fungi and Viruses
    • 1st Edition
    • Mohammad Yaseen Mir + 3 more
    • English
    Patterns, Function and Application of Seed Microbiome: Bacteria, Fungi and Viruses presents the current understanding of seed and microbiota associations, emphasizing recent findings that highlight the latest insights into these interactions, and how they may ultimately influence plant ecology, health and productivity in both natural and agricultural systems. The development and dispersal of seeds and their transition to seedlings are among the most critical stages of the life cycle of plants and seed health is of crucial global importance for producing both quantity and high quality crops to feed world’s population. It is important for seeds to be produced that contain the best hybrid embryo so that it is free of diseases, includes beneficial endophytes and ensures a healthy start of a seedling. Focusing on the role of seed microbiota, their transmission and implications for producing healthier seeds as well as the relationship between the seed microbiome and primed plant resistance this book reveals the targeted use of the seed microbiome to enrich the soil biodiversity and its resilience and its resulting impact on plant health and yield. also explores the importance of nanotechnology in the development and production of crops for both improved plant production, and plant protection. It explores the different microbes that are vectored onto and within the seeds of both cultivated and non-cultivated plants, with an emphasis on the importance and roles of seed microbiomes in sustainable agriculture. It explains how to change seeds to increase microbiome vectoring; repairing damaged ones, and conserves seed microbiota. It also present seed microbiome roles for plant health and design effective microbiome engineering.

  • The Ecology of Sandy Shores

    • English
    The Ecology of Sandy Shores, Fourth Edition provides both a holistic and conceptual introduction for the beginner, yet at the same time gives an in-depth and cutting-edge analysis for the researcher interested in sandy shores. There is no other book covering the ecology of sandy beaches, despite the extent and economic importance of these systems. This guide is designed to both introduce students to the basic principles of sandy shore ecology, to serve as a ready reference for doctoral students and researchers working on these systems, and to provide a handbook for land and coastal managers.This new edition will focus on humans as part of the sandy beach environment, including aspects such as global change in coastal systems and its impacts on sandy littoral zones through ‘coastal squeeze’. Further, prominence will be given to resource use, such as artisanal fisheries and to the critical area of coastal zone management and governance. Considering these two main issues, the concept of sandy beaches as social-ecological systems will be developed together with an illustrative framework related to this approach.

    • English
    Digital Signal Processing: Fundamentals, Applications, and Deep Learning, Fourth Edition introduces students to the fundamental principles of digital signal processing (DSP) while also providing a working knowledge that they take with them into their engineering careers. Many instructive, worked examples are used to illustrate the material, and the use of mathematics is minimized for an easier grasp of concepts. As such, this title is also useful as a reference for non-engineering students and practicing engineers.This book goes beyond DSP theory, showing the implementation of algorithms in hardware and software. Additional topics covered include DSP for artificial intelligence, adaptive filtering with noise reduction and echo cancellations, speech compression, signal sampling, digital filter realizations, filter design, multimedia applications, over-sampling, etc. More advanced topics are also covered, such as adaptive filters, speech compression such as pulse-code modulation, µ-law, adaptive differential pulse-code modulation, multi-rate DSP, oversampling analog-to-digital conversion, sub-band coding, wavelet transform, and neural networks.
