Advancements in Developing Abiotic Stress-Resilient Plants Basic Mechanisms to Trait Improvements

Advancements in Developing Abiotic Stress-Resilient Plants Basic Mechanisms to Trait Improvements

Plants often encounter abiotic stresses including drought salinity flooding high/low temperatures and metal toxicity among others. The majority of these stresses occur simultaneously and thus limit crop production. Therefore the need of the hour is to improve the abiotic stresses tolerance of crop plants by integrating physiology omics and modern breeding approaches. This book covers various aspects including (1) abiotic stress responses in plants and progress made so far in the allied areas for trait improvements (2) integrates knowledge gained from basic physiology to advanced omics tools to assist new breeding technologies and (3) discusses key genes proteins and metabolites or pathways for developing new crop varieties with improved tolerance traits. | Advancements in Developing Abiotic Stress-Resilient Plants Basic Mechanisms to Trait Improvements

Nutrition and Type 2 Diabetes Etiology and Prevention

Nutrition and Type 2 Diabetes Etiology and Prevention

Over the past two decades type 2 diabetes has emerged as a leading threat to global health and the considerable overlap in obesity and diabetes trends are likely no coincidence. While the underpinnings for both etiologies are linked to lifestyles particularly dietary and physical activity patterns determining optimal approaches for preventing and managing type 2 diabetes using dietary composition remains a challenge. Nutrition and Type 2 Diabetes: Etiology and Prevention rigorously examines various perspectives on diet and type 2 diabetes. The book presents a comprehensive description and evaluation of the central research to date primarily in humans on the macronutrients and their subclasses micronutrients foods beverages and overall dietary patterns with respect to the risk of type 2 diabetes. It addresses the mediating/mechanistic role of obesity and body composition throughout the text where appropriate. The chapter authors all leading researchers in the field discuss fundamental nutritional principles applied to the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes as well as applied behavioral studies on nutrition and diabetes for each subject area. The depth and breadth of this book includes aspects of the food synergy model for understanding the complicated pathways between nutrition dietary habits and risk for type 2 diabetes. It also examines the effects of artificially sweetened beverages and coffee. This reference provides a review of the science on the potential impact of many components of dietary behavior and nutritional properties on etiology and risk for this disease knowledge that is essential for formulating informed approaches to public health progress in this area. | Nutrition and Type 2 Diabetes Etiology and Prevention

Chemotaxis Modeling of Autoimmune Inflammation PDE Computer Analysis in R

Chemotaxis Modeling of Autoimmune Inflammation PDE Computer Analysis in R

In response to an infection (e. g. from pathogens such as bacteria and viruses) the immune system can deplete macrophages (specialized white blood cells) and produce cytokines that are pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory. This counterproductive autoimmune response is represented mathematically as nonlinear chemotaxis diffusion. This book is directed to the computer-based modeling of chemotaxis inflammation. The spatiotemporal analysis is based on a model of three partial differential equations (PDEs). The three PDE model is coded (programmed) as a set of routines in R a quality open-source scientific programming system. The numerical integration (solution) of the PDEs is by the method of lines (MOL). The three PDE model can be used for computer-based experimentation for example parameter variation and changes in the model equations or alternate models to enhance a quantitative understanding of a postulated inflammation. This experimentation is illustrated by chapters pertaining to: (1) the computation and display of the PDE time derivatives (2) the RHS terms of the PDEs with emphasis on the chemotaxis terms (3) parameter variations to demonstrate parameter effects and sensitivities and (4) additonal terms in the PDEs to include PDE coupling and extensions of the basic PDE model. | Chemotaxis Modeling of Autoimmune Inflammation PDE Computer Analysis in R
