In its most severe form this disease is very debilitating for patients, compromising not just their fertility but also their social, professional, and personal life. It has become a major public health problem associated with high monetary costs and a significant decline in productivity. Endometriosis is not acknowledged in society, and hence is underdiagnosed and so is undertreated. This FOGSI Focus on endometriosis is a welcome addition to all the literature available on endometriosis.

The world's energy consumption is estimated to be 3.36 x 1020 J per annum and is projected to increase to up to 6.3 x 1020 J in the year 2050. Due to this high demand energy shortage poses specific risks on the transportation sector and some industries that are dependent on liquid fuel such as diesel. This considerable demand for petroleum also implies significant levels of air pollution. Continued use of petroleum sourced fuels in now widely recognized as unsustainable because of depleting supplies and the contribution of these fuels to the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the environment. Renewable carbon neutral transport fuels are necessary for environmental and economic sustainability. Biodiesel derived from oil crops is a potential renewable and carbon neutral alternative to petroleum fuels. Using an alternative fuel is one of the options that could possibly solve these environmental problems. Different biofuels were already developed and used in many parts of the world and the most popular is the biodiesel which is an alternative to petroleum diesel. Extensive research and demonstration projects have shown that biodiesel can be used pure or in blends with conventional diesel fuel in unmodified diesel engines. Interest in biodiesel has been expanding recently due to government incentives and high petroleum prices. Biodiesel occupies a prominent position among the alternatives to conventional petrodiesel fuel owing to various technical and economic factors. It is obtained by reacting the parent vegetable oil or fat with an alcohol (Transesterification) in the presence of a catalyst to give the corresponding monoalkyl esters which are defined as biodiesel. Because of the nature of the starting material the production process and subsequent handling various factors can influence biodiesel fuel quality. Biodiesel steadily gaining interest and significance in light of recent developments such as the upsurge in petroleum prices and the implementation of financial incentives for its use. With the increasing interest and use the assurance of fuel properties and quality has become of paramount interest to the successful commercialization and market acceptance of biodiesel. Our Honorable President Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam and many other scientists mentioned the necessary of biofuels for our country. Among the various sources of biofuels biodiesel plays an important role because of the availability of feedstock production steps and its safe to the environment. Biodiesel is a hot topic in today's research. This book highlights more about the biodiesel its sources production various standards fuel properties of biodiesel with ASTM standards fuel policy and the environmental effect on biodiesel. This book will be useful for U.G. P.G. students and research scholars and provides the fundamental knowledge about energy non renewable and renewable energy. 274 pp.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Globally freshwater resources are facing acute pressure to meet the various demands of mankind. The availability of quality drinking water is one of the biggest challenges and owing to tremendous pollution in different levels of water (ground as well as surface water) the quality is adversely affected. To overcome this worldwide problem, various research and technological interventions have been initiated to provide quality drinking water. The River Bank Filtration (RBF) is one of the solution that has come up with a unique and cost effective technology. It is a process wherein the surface water from rivers, channels and lakes is induced by pumping from nearby production wells to flow through the natural aquifer sediments. This process further initiates several positive changes in the quality of water before finally mixing with the local groundwater. The water obtained from this process can directly be used for drinking purpose and it rarely required any further treatment. In this, context the Uttarakhand State Council for Science and Technology, (UCOST) Dehradun, National Institute of Hydrology, (NIH) Roorkee, Uttarakhand Jal Sansthan, (UJS) Dehradun, Indian Institute of Technology, (IIT) Roorkee, initiated a collaborative project "River Bank Filtration for Quality Drinking Water", which was funded by the Department of Science and Technology (Government of India), under the technical expertise of the HTW University of Dresden, Germany. This book is an attempt to compile and prepare a guideline of scientific and applied value to help engineers, scientists and policy makers for implementing RBF. Here all necessary aspects such as background, planning scheme, design operations and maintenance, water quality parameters, risk assessment, post-treatment, numerical flow, awareness strategies and sustainability of RBF along with worldwide case studies are discussed in detail.

Weather forecasts are probabilities and projections based on improved technologies but not reachable to many small and marginal farmers. But still vast majority of the people in the country continue in farming with a hope that they would get better production and better prices. Agriculture continues to play a major role, in spite of declining share in India's overall economy. Even today, as we entered the new millennium, the situation is still the same, with almost the entire economy being sustained by agriculture, which is the mainstay of the villages. Although agriculture contributes less than 15% of India's GDP, its importance in the country's' economic, social and political fabric goes well beyond this indicator. The rural areas are still home to 75 percent of the India's 1.2 billion people, a large number of whom are poor. Most of the rural poor depend on rain-fed agriculture and fragile forests for their livelihoods. Agricultural risk is associated with negative outcomes that stem from imperfectly predictable climatic and price variables. Weather and climate are major risks and uncertainty factors impacting agriculture production. Market risk is due accessibility of inputs, uncertainty of prices in buying inputs, selling farm output, dairy and livestock products etc. Risk management is very critical to the success of agriculture, and yet there is a lack of tools used to manage risk as well as a lack of understanding of the tools themselves. Though, risk is an integral part of agriculture and farmers make risky decisions every day and confront different types of risk, changes in the risk environment and available tools to manage the risk make it a compelling reason to engage in risk management education. This volume is outcome of selected papers presented at the National Seminar on "Agricultural Risk Management" organized during 3-4 January 2014 by Centre for Good Governance (CGG) in association with National Institute of Rural Development and Panchayati Raj (NIRD&PR).
