South Dakota State University, Brookings, USA Series: GIS Applications in Agriculture

The UN Millennium Summit of 2000 pledged to halve by 2015 the 850 million undernourished people in the world. Food security has two principal dimensions: food production and food consumption, both of which have to be economically viable in order to be sustainable. This volume deals with ways and means of managing food and water security in various agroclimatic environments through the integration of R&D, training, people participation, agronomic practices, economic instruments, and administrative policies. It includes reviewed contributions by global experts in the field, who elaborate on the governance of food security, the biophysical dimensions of more food per drop as well as on the socioeconomic dimensions of food security.

A unique resource on GIS applications in agronomy, this book examines how this powerful technology can help increase crop production and lower costs. It describes the nature of the problem, examines the purpose of the GIS application, describes methods used to develop the application, provides results, and offers a conclusion as well as other supportive information. When appropriate, it presents the underlying statistical approach for the GIS software that is used. This text also includes a CD-ROM that features data sets and the color maps produced by the use of GIS. The book provides a toolkit for the acquisition, management, and analysis of spatial data throughout the agriculture value chain.

Paul A. Wojtkowski

In most developing countries, farming is the best safety net against hunger and keeping production costs under control without sacrificing crop yield is essential for survival. The Handbook of Precision Agriculture presents up-to-date research, field studies, and practical applications from around the world to help agricultural scientists and farmers work together to design a farming methodology that improves productivity, profitability, and sustainability. The book offers a comprehensive guide to basic principles and technologies, crop-specific applications, integrative strategies, economic and environmental concerns, and future trends in precision agriculture in different regions of the world.

The essence of agroecology lies in harnessing and harmonizing the forces of nature for productive purpose. This book shows how it is done, providing a detailed, inclusive look at the underlying theories, concepts, and practices. This allows the reader to explore the full range of possibilities of the nature/agriculture interface and to view agroecology in its entirety, all while providing a clear understanding of the inherent complexity. Productive threats to cropping, such as soil depletion, drought, plant-eating insects, heat and cold, weeds, and small and large animals are discussed in depth—with preventative strategies for each—all together in one easy-to-use book. An instructor’s manual is available upon qualifying course adoptions.

The authors draw on management theory and practice, participatory action research, and ecologically based complex systems theories. They address problems that are crucial to many rapidly changing and urbanizing tropical environments.

Modern Land Drainage is a fully renewed and extended edition of Land Drainage: Planning and Design of Agricultural Drainage Systems, which was first published in 1983 (Batsford, London). The book is based on traditional drainage methods for rain-fed agriculture in the humid temperature zone. Significant parts are devoted to drainage for salinity control of irrigated land in (semi-) arid zones, and to drainage of rice land in the humid tropics. Institutional, management, and maintenance aspects are extensively covered as well as the mitigation of adverse impacts of drainage interventions on the environment. Moreover, various applications for drainage, design, and management are treated.

Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) have lowered prices and increased production but with economic, ecological, and environmental costs that can only be solved by enforced legislation. Discussing this recent agricultural trend, Environmental Management of Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) provides practical information on the concepts and practices involved in the operation and maintenance of CAFOs, paying particular attention to regulatory requirements, compliance, and best available technology. Including extensive references, it serves as an important resource for personnel involved in animal feeding operations.

Lawrie’s Meat Science has established itself as a standard work for both students and professionals in the meat industry. Its basic theme remains the central importance of biochemistry in understanding the production, storage, processing and eating quality of meat. At a time when so much controversy surrounds meat production and nutrition, this book provides a clear guide which takes the reader from the growth and development of meat animals, through the conversion of muscle to meat, to the point of consumption. The seventh edition includes details of significant advances in meat science which have taken place in the last eight years, especially in areas of eating quality of meat and meat biochemistry.

Series: Mycology, 27

Carotenoids are of great interest due to their essential biological functions in both plants and animals. However, the properties and functions of carotenoids in natural systems are surprisingly complex. With an emphasis on the chemical aspects of these compounds, Carotenoids: Physical, Chemical, and Biological Functions and Properties presents a broad overview and recent developments with respect to understanding carotenoid structure, electronic and photochemical properties, and the use of novel analytical methods in the detection and characterization of carotenoids and their actions. The text also explores LC/MS and LC/MS/MS techniques as well as new applications of PCR and molecular biology methodologies.

Although there is a general scientific consensus that endosymbionts represent a new frontier for drug discovery, this book is the first to explore that possibility. It also takes the novel approach of expanding the concept of defensive mutualisms to evaluate defense against environmental abiotic and biotic stresses. In addressing the topic of defensive mutualisms in microbial symbiosis across this wide spectrum, it includes chapters on defensive mutualistic associations involving multiple kingdoms of organisms in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems – plant, animal, fungi, bacteria, and protozoans. Authors for the various chapters represent the world authorities in each field.

Written by the pioneers who have energized the research, Nucleotides and Regulation of Bone Cell Function covers all aspects of purinergic signaling with regard to osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and chondrocytes, providing an exploration into how nucleotides act on skeletal cells. It reveals the distribution of receptors for purines and pyrimidines in both neuronal and non-neuronal cells, considers purinergic and P2 nucleotide receptor signaling in osteoclasts, and examines the role of signaling in regulating cartilage metabolism and chondrocyte function. It also considers the pathophysiologic implications of the findings, and discusses the potential of purinerelated therapies for a variety of diseases.

This groundbreaking work offers a comprehensive view of the different components of metabolic stress and its association—and that of obesity-with oxidative stress and inflammation. It reports on cutting—edge research on the intracellular events mediating or preventing oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory processes in obesity and type 2 diabetes. The book also addresses the molecular mechanisms inherent in the progression of metabolic stress and considers phenotypic perspectives, as well as dietary factors and micronutrients. It encourages evidence-based nutritional and pharmacological therapies to attenuate the impact of obesityinduced insulin resistance and ensuing metabolic syndrome.

Providing clear examples of the use of state-of-the-art computer programs for analyses of bioassay data, this second edition explains the statistical basis and analysis for each kind of quantal response bioassay. The first edition was a must-have reference for designing, conducting, and interpreting bioassays: this completely revised and updated second edition is positioned to take its place. The authors delineate methods and ideas that are nearly impossible to explain clearly to those who do not already know both. They lead readers through the methods and concepts so easily, readers suddenly find themselves processing information they did not think they could understand, or were convinced they never would.

Integrating the immense, but scattered, published data with contributions from preeminent active researchers, this book presents the most up-to-date information on foraging ecology, individual search and social recruitment behaviors, and theoretical models of foraging and food exploitation among ants, bees, and wasps alike. It employs mathematical models to map coordinate processes and unites traditional studies with theoretical approaches. By cross referencing information between chapters and concluding with a final synthesis chapter, the authors ensure a complete understanding of the interrelationship between various disciplines regarding foraging and food exploitation in social insects.

Series: Integrative Studies in Water Management & Land Development

The advent of relational data-basing and data storage capacity, coupled with revolutionary advances in molecular sequencing technology and specimen imaging, have led to a taxonomic renaissance. This volume maps the origins of this renaissance, beginning with Linnaeus, through his “apostles”, via the great unsung hero Charles Davies Sherbon – arguably the father of bioinformatics – up to the present day with the Planetary Biodiversity Inventories and into the future with the Encyclopedia of Life and web-based taxonomy. It provides scientific, historical, and cultural documentation of the evolution of taxonomy and the successful adaptation of the Linnean nomenclature system to that evolution.

A unique, integrative consolidation of essential information, this book draws on limnological, conservation biological, and biogeochemical research. It represents the current state of the scientific understanding of and management for the effects of forestry practices on lakes. The book provides science-based information on land and water ecological linkages and the impacts of forest management activites on aquatic ecosystems in boreal forests. This text delineates defensible management decisions for the protection of water resources and for sustainable forestry practices that landuse planners and forestry and fisheries managers can use.

This text lays out the scientific underpinnings for the mindbody connection, documenting the numerous interactions of the endocrine, immune, nervous, and stress systems that so profoundly impact human functioning. This is the first book to elaborate on the cutting-edge field of subtle energy medicine. The authors propose a theory of the physiology of spirituality, or in medical terms, a theory of how subtle energy impacts physical and mental/emotional functioning. This medical reference is written in a unique, conversational style that incorporates both technical and scientific information and anecdotal stories.

While most books on sports nutrition focus on the professional or competition-level athlete, little research in this area has considered the very health conscious baby boomer generation. Judy Driskell, one of the top experts in sports nutrition, turns her attention in this book to the nutrition needs of the middle-aged athlete. She brings together current research on energy-yielding nutrients, vitamins, and minerals, as well as fluids and hydration. She also includes information on recreational activities including endurance and strength training exercises, age-related disorders, and public health policies, as well as the role of diet and physical activity in reducing risk and treating age-related diseases.

Rosario National University, Rosario, Argentina

To ensure that efforts to improve our biodefensive capabilities continue in an efficient manner, this volume presents a thorough review of pertinent research, encouraging researchers to leverage relevant results, rather than duplicate them. Thus, scientists will be able to make the best use of resources and avoid unnecessary experimentation. With contributions from those who have developed the animal models presented, this book examines bacterial, viral, and toxic agents considered to pose the greatest threat. Each section on a specific agent provides background, followed by a description of those animal models employed, and a discussion of how the findings translate to human impact.

The design of an adequate surgical model, like the choice of the animal model itself, is extremely important for obtaining reliable, valuable data. Written for biomedical researchers this manual on the surgery of the rat summarizes a series of techniques that have been applied at the Bone Biology Laboratories of the Medical Science University of Rosario. Stopping short of an exhaustive analysis of the techniques, the manual describes the basis of each surgical technique, the necessary materials including catheters, precautions to consider, the methodology to apply and the possible results to be obtained. The descriptions of each technique appear with diagrams and pictures.

Natural Attenuation of Trace Element Availability in Soils Edited by

Quantifying and Understanding Plant Nitrogen Uptake for Systems Modeling Edited by

Liwang Ma and Lajpat R. Ahuja USDA, Fort Collins, Colorado, USA

Rebecca Hamon, Mike McLaughlin, and Enzo Lombi

Tom Bruulsema

Offering a concise, well-rounded perspective from pioneers in the field, Natural Attenuation of Trace Element Availability in Soils demonstrates how attenuation processes can significantly impact strategies for soil remediation and serve as a basis for environmental regulations. The first chapters focus on analytical techniques for measuring the attenuation of trace elements. The following chapters analyze the processes that occur in the natural attenuation of contaminants and nutrients, including diffusion, fixation, and biological and redox processes. The remaining chapters consider the impact and implications of these processes in terms of risk assessment, remediation of inorganic contaminants, and bioavailability of essential nutrients.

Written by leading scientists, this text comprehensively covers plant Nitrogen (N) uptake in agricultural system models. It shows how to minimize the transportation of N fertilizers in crop production to surface and ground waters and conveys what the interactions are between plant N uptake and other agricultural systems processes and managements. Using cutting-edge and original information, it documents N uptake based on absorption kinetics of transporters across root cell membranes, mass flow, and diffusion to the root surface of single or composite roots. The book also presents new approaches to calculating plant N demand by critically reviewing the differences between water and N stresses in crop models.

Michael E. Essington

J.M. Kimble, C.W. Rice, D. Reed, S. Mooney, R.F. Follett, and R. Lal

Written with the needs of students, researchers, and practitioners in mind, this book provides a comprehensive treatment of the composition and chemical properties of soils and of the processes that govern their fate in the environment. Topics include: clay mineralogy, soil organic matter, mineral weathering and stability, aqueous speciation, surface chemistry, ion exchange, adsorption, molecular retention, oxidation-reduction, soil acidity, alkalinity, and salinity. It covers all the important aspects of environmental soil chemistry and includes methodologies, exercises with solutions, and topics related to a broad distribution of environments.

This book highlights the significant economic, environmental, and societal benefits that result from land management practices that maintain or increase soil carbon (C). Each chapter poses a problem or set of problems and then describes how effective soil C management can help to solve these problems. The book explores the potential for agricultural soils to generate soil C credits that could be traded in the broader greenhouse gas credit market, uses an economic metric where possible to determine the broader value of activities that increase soil C sequestration, and describes the benefits of farm programs that reduce soil erosion, improve air and water quality, and mitigate global warming.

Veterinary Clinical Epidemiology

Predator-Prey Dynamics

Ronald D. Smith

Michael R. Conover

Veterinary Clinical Epidemiology, Third Edition serves as both a teaching resource and a reference on the application of epidemiologic methods in veterinary clinical research. The new edition of this successful book continues its focus on observations of naturally or spontaneously occurring diseases. This well-illustrated text includes discussion of applications of epidemiology in medical decision making at the individual and herd levels; details the relevance of epidemiology to companion animal, food animal, and population medicine; and describes applications of molecular diagnostic tools and advanced statistical techniques. It includes many case studies and examples from veterinary literature.

By presenting an abundance of scientific evidence throughout the text on olfaction and the olfactory concealment theory, PredatorPrey Dynamics reshapes the way that scientists view animal behavior. The olfactory concealment theory demonstrates that olfaction is an effective method used by predators to locate prey because animals constantly release a stream of odorants. However, animals can minimize their risk of being detected by an olfactory predator by hiding where updrafts, turbulence, and suboptimal wind speeds occur (all predictable in time and space). Using published literature to test predictions, this book will help biologists and wildlife professionals manage olfactory predators and their prey.

The cutting-edge development of using a computational design approach as a means of engineering proteins with novel functions has led to widespread usage of computational analysis in protein engineering at large. However, because the structure and function of protein molecules are coupled at the molecular level, many critical questions are left unanswered and many of the intricate design rules are unclear. This book furthers understanding in this complex design area by using lucid descriptions of computation’s role in protein engineering and tracing the history of protein design. In so doing, it successfully de-mystifies computational analysis, thereby making it widely accessible to a broad audience both in academia and industry.
