In the fast changing world, the trend of fresh fruit and vegetable consumption is increasing. Different organizations like WHO, FAO, USDA, EFSA and ICMR recommend the increasing fruit & vegetable consumption. The consumption of fruits and vegetables results in the alleviation of many degenerative diseases including cardiovascular disease cancer & ageing. Fresh-cut fruits & vegetables emerged to fulfill consumer's new demands of healthy palatable and easy to prepare plant food. Fresh-cut products due to their convenience are commonly consumed directly from the bags without any further rinse. The fresh cut ready to use fruit and vegetable industry is constantly growing at faster rate of 10 per cent per annum mainly due to the consumer's tendency of health consciousness and their increasing interest in the role of fresh, healthy and convenient food for maintaining and improving human well-being. This beneficial effect has been attributed to non-essential food constituents, phytonutrients that pose a relevant bioactivity when frequently consumed as a part of regular diet.

Small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) is a relatively new refractive procedure designed to treat a multitude of refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia, and astigmatism. The procedure involves using a femtosecond laser to create a corneal lenticule which is extracted whole through a small incision without the use of a traditional excrimer laser. It is a painless procedure and is reported to achieve excellent post-operative outcomes (American Academy of Ophthalmology). This book is a complete guide to the new technique of SMILE surgery providing refractive surgeons with an overview of surgical procedure, refractive and physiological outcomes, complications and their management, and future applications. Beginning with an introduction to the history and development of femtosecond lasers, the next chapters discuss patient selection and the principles of the technique. The following sections cover outcomes, complications, and offer a comparison between SMILE and Femtosecond LASIK. The book features an interactive DVD ROM offering step by step guidance on surgical technique, and is highly illustrated with self-explanatory diagrams, clinical photographs and ASOCT images. Key points Complete guide to SMILE techniques for refractive surgeonsStep by step guide to surgical procedure, outcomes, complications and future applicationsIncludes interactive DVD ROM demonstrating surgical techniquesHighly illustrated with diagrams, photographs and ASOCT images

Develop programmatic functions to create powerful database applications About This Book • Write complex SQL queries and design a robust database design that fits your application's need • Improve database performance by indexing, partitioning tables, and query optimizing • A comprehensive guide covering the advanced PostgreSQL concepts without any hassle Who This Book Is For If you are a PostgreSQL developer with a basic knowledge of PostgreSQL development and you're want deeper knowledge to develop applications, then this book is for you. As this book does not cover basic installation and configurations, you should have PostgreSQL installed on your machine as a prerequisite. What You Will Learn • Write more complex queries with advanced SQL queries • Design a database that works with the application exactly the way you want • Make the database work in extreme conditions by tuning, optimizing, partitioning, and indexing • Develop applications in other programming languages such as Java and PHP • Use extensions to get extra benefits in terms of functionality and performance • Build an application that does not get locked by data manipulation • Explore in-built db functions and data type conversions In Detail PostgreSQL is the most advanced open source database in the world. It is easy to install, configure, and maintain by following the documentation; however, it's difficult to develop applications using programming languages and design databases accordingly. This book is what you need to get the most out of PostgreSQL You will begin with advanced SQL topics such as views, materialized views, and cursors, and learn about performing data type conversions. You will then perform trigger operations and use trigger functions in PostgreSQL. Next we walk through data modeling, normalization concepts, and the effect of transactions and locking on the database. The next half of the book covers the types of indexes, constrains, and the concepts of table partitioning, as well as the different mechanisms and approaches available to write efficient queries or code. Later, we explore PostgreSQL Extensions and Large Object Support in PostgreSQL. Finally, you will perform database operations in PostgreSQL using PHP and Java. By the end of this book, you will have mastered all the aspects of PostgreSQL development. You will be able to build efficient enterprise-grade applications with PostgreSQL by making use of these concepts Style and approach Every chapter follows a step by step approach that first explains the concept , then shows you how to execute it practically so that you can implement them in your application.
