Rauvolfia species, commonly known as Sarpagandha, has been traditionally used in Ayurveda for curing high blood pressure, hypertension, snake bites, fever, and mental illnesses. Due to its wide variety and differences in chemical composition, it is necessary to develop an efficient and reliable method for rapid screening and determination of phytochemicals in the extracts of the Rauvolfia species. This book will provide qualitative and quantitative comparative phytochemical investigations of selected medicinal plants from the Rauvolfia genus using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) techniques. The results will help in assuring the efficacy and safety of Rauvolfia herbal products. Features: Collection of Ayurvedic features and scientific evidence of important medicinal plants. Discusses chemical signatures for the identification of Rauvolfia (Sarpagandha) and its products. Easy-to-use analytical procedure for quality control of Rauvolfia and its products.

This book contains detailed and structured approaches to tackling practical decision-making troubles using economic consideration and analytical methods in Municipal solid waste (MSW) management. Among all other types of environmental burdens, MSW management is still a mammoth task, and the worst part is that a suitable technique to curb the situation in developing countries has still not emerged. Municipal Solid Waste Management in Developing Countries will help fill this information gap based on information provided by field professionals. This information will be helpful to improve and manage solid waste systems through the application of modern management techniques. It covers all the fundamental concepts of MSWM; the various component systems, such as collection, transportation, processing, and disposal; and their integration. This book also discusses various component technologies available for the treatment, processing, and disposal of MSW. Written in view of actual scenarios in developing countries, it provides knowledge to develop solutions for prolonged problems in these nations. It is mainly for undergraduate and postgraduate students, research scholars, professionals, and policy makers.

Several Phyllanthus species are widely used in traditional medicine and herbal formulation for the treatment of a variety of ailments such as flu, dropsy, diabetes, jaundice and bladder calculus. The medicinal properties of these species are due to the presence of lignans, flavonoids, tannins, alkaloids and terpenoids. Phyllanthin and hypophyllanthin are the major lignans from Phyllanthus species having estrogenic properties that reduce toxicity and vascular tension, and protect hepatocytes. This book deals with the importance of separation techniques in screening of major lignans, flavonoids and terpenoids in Phyllanthus species using HPLC/UPLC coupled with mass spectrometric techniques. Features: Collection of Ayurvedic features and scientific evidence of important medicinal plants. Screening of major lignans, flavonoids and terpenoids in plant parts/whole plant extracts and their geographical variations in Phyllanthus amarus. Easy-to-use analytical procedure for the quality control of Phyllanthus and its products.

Dear Planet-mate, Ever wondered how to respond when an extra-terrestrial entity asks about our identity? Should we reveal our identity as the typical 2020s Homo sapiens who are intelligent enough to get embroiled in so-called value chain jobs, intricate lifestyles, overdosage of emotions and with pseudo ownership of organic bodies, which must be dissolved back to the true owner--Planet Earth? OrShould we introduce ourselves as the absolute earthmen, Humans and the Supreme species of the planet? Life transcends from 'is to was' while it has many unanswered questions between 2L. The term '2L' refers to 'Live and Leave'. What happens in between is nothing but Fillers of Life We understand basics through spiritual and philosophical cognizance about living an ostensibly beautiful life, albeit it is not. Why? Several questions have us clinging to the think - rethink infinity cycle. God Point finds credible answers in a more scientific and less spiritual approach. God Point is about viewing life from infinite God coordinates to make life more interpretable, pragmatic and delightful.

"When a knowledgeable old person dies, a whole library disappears"-an old African proverb. Indigenous knowledge (IK) is the local knowledge that is unique to a given culture or society. IK contrasts with the international knowledge system generated by universities, research institutions and private firms. It is the basis for local-level decision making in agriculture, health care, food preparation, education, natural-resource management and a host of other activities in rural communities.

This book is based on probabilities that can be variable from 0 to 1. This means that the probability of any event mentioned in this book is nil to 100 percent surety. Thus, the people have to accept it as a possibility, and the proof may not be available but can be found by own. Also, in such a case, the person loses the right to question about facts. It is not necessary that everyone loses a life while driving a motorcycle without helmet, even on busy road. If a person is poor, it doesnt mean that he will be good for all. If someone is discriminated against, it doesnt ensure that he will not be biased. If woman is a mother, it doesnt mean she cannot betray. A person may be follower of a holy religion, but he may not think of himself as equal among all. My eyes can see everything in noon, Instead they failed to watch the sun. Lest, they see nothing in dark Yet can watch darkness whole night. I donated for them Those have never been seen. As I hated to care for them, Even they needed me so keen. Though I tried to prey on others peace in whole. During death time I prayed for tranquility of my soul. Being true and correct is not an easy task. A person is bound to live a double standard lifeone for himself, which is sometime unknown to him, and the second is for others, where he pretends while he is revealed without his acknowledgement. This leads to the disturbance of peace among the individuals, and this resonates through their whole lives. This book reveals the reasons that limit the people to accomplish peace.
