In an era where antibiotic resistance is on the rise and synthetic medication side effects are a concern, the book on natural drug discovery attempts to address these issues and to respond to the rising demand for alternative therapeutic techniques. The course material delves into the pharmacological characteristics, mechanisms of action, and cutting-edge methods employed in the identification and production of bioactive compounds derived from plants, marine animals, and microbes. It investigates structural variety of bioactive chemicals and analytical tools. This book offers a thorough guide for researchers, medical professionals, and students interested in the discovery of innovative, natural medicinal agents by combining traditional knowledge with contemporary scientific breakthroughs. It provides insights into natural therapies that might satisfy the needs of contemporary healthcare.

In the era of the Internet of Things and with the explosive worldwide growth of electronic data volume, and associated need of processing, analysis, and storage of such a humongous amount of data, it has now become mandatory to exploit the power of massively parallel architecture for fast computation. Cloud computing provides a cheap source of such a computing framework for a large volume of data for real-time applications. It is, therefore, not surprising to see that cloud computing has become a buzzword in the computing fraternity over the last decade. Applications of Cloud Computing: Approaches and Practices lays a good foundation for the core concepts and principles of cloud computing applications, walking the reader through the fundamental ideas with expert ease. The book progresses on the topics in a step-by-step manner. It reinforces theory with a full-fledged pedagogy designed to enhance students' understanding and offer them a practical insight into the applications of it. It is a valuable source of knowledge for researchers, engineers, practitioners, and graduate and doctoral students working in the field of cloud computing. It will also be useful for faculty members of graduate schools and universities.
