    • English
    Organized into four sections, Clove (Syzygium aromaticum): Chemistry, Functionality, and Applications addresses the cultivation, composition, and applications of clove, along with the chemistry, functionality, and applications of clove fixed oil, clove essential oil, and clove extracts and their role in food and medicine. Beginning with the introduction of clove, this book aims to establish a multidisciplinary discussion on the development of Syzygium aromaticum phytochemistry, technology, processing, agricultural practices, functional traits, health-enhancing potential, mechanism of action, and toxicity as well as food and nonfood uses. The studies reported in this book confirm the functional applications of Syzygium aromaticum as a medicinal plant, standing out for the significance of novel applications. This book delves into the functional, nutritional, and pharmacological traits of clove. Therefore, the book will serve as a valuable reference for food scientists, technologists, chemists, nutritionists, and pharmacists developing new pharmaceutical and food products.

    • English
    New Frontiers of Cardiovascular Screening using Unobtrusive Sensors, AI, and IoT provides insights into real-world problems in cardiovascular disease screening that can be addressed via AI, IoT and wearable based sensing. Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD) are surpassing CDS and emerging as the foremost cause of death. Hence, early screening of CVDs using wearable and other similar sensors is an extremely important global problem to solve. The digital health field is constantly changing, and this book provides a review of recent technology developments, offering unique coverage of processing time series physiological sensor data. The authors have developed this book with graduate and post graduate students in mind, making sure they provide an accessible entry point into the field. This book is particularly useful for engineers and computer scientists who want to build technologies that work in real world scenarios as it provides a practitioner’s view/insights /tricks of the trade. Finally, this book helps researchers working on this important problem to quickly ramp up their knowledge and research to the state-of-the-art.
  • Human-Gut Microbiome

    Establishment and Interactions
    • 1st Edition

    • English
    Human-Gut Microbiome: Establishment and Interactions gives an overview of microbiome establishments in humans and basic technologies used to decipher the structure and function of gut microbiome. Other sections focus on the application of microbiomics in different disease manifestations, such as obesity, diabetes, and more. The book provides the basics, as well as mechanistic knowledge underpinning the structural and functional understanding of the microbiome. With the advancement in omics technologies, as well as the development of bioinformatic tools, much research has been undertaken to decipher the microbiomes of different hosts. This research is generating valuable insights into micro-ecological niches and their impact on humans, hence this new release covers these new insights. The book will be a valuable resource for scientists, researchers, postgraduate and graduate students who are interested in understanding the impact and importance of the omics approach to humans and their microbiomes.
