Download or read book The Routledge Handbook of Archaeological Human Remains and Legislation written by Nicholas Marquez-Grant and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2011-03-21 with total page 786 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Methodologies and legislative frameworks regarding the archaeological excavation, retrieval, analysis, curation and potential reburial of human skeletal remains differ throughout the world. As work forces have become increasingly mobile and international research collaborations are steadily increasing, the need for a more comprehensive understanding of different national research traditions, methodologies and legislative structures within the academic and commercial sector of physical anthropology has arisen. The Routledge Handbook of Archaeological Human Remains and Legislation provides comprehensive information on the excavation of archaeological human remains and the law through 62 individual country contributions from Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, South America and Australasia. More specifically, the volume discusses the following: What is the current situation (including a brief history) of physical anthropology in the country? What happens on discovering human remains (who is notified, etc.)? What is the current legislation regarding the excavation of archaeological human skeletal remains? Is a license needed to excavate human remains? Is there any specific legislation regarding excavation in churchyards? Any specific legislation regarding war graves? Are physical anthropologists involved in the excavation process? Where is the cut-off point between forensic and archaeological human remains (e.g. 100 years, 50 years, 25 years...)? Can human remains be transported abroad for research purposes? What methods of anthropological analysis are mostly used in the country? Are there any methods created in that country which are population-specific? Are there particular ethical issues that need to be considered when excavating human remains, such as religious groups or tribal groups? In addition, an overview of landmark anthropological studies and important collections are provided where appropriate. The entries are contained by an introductory chapter by the editors which establish the objectives and structure of the book, setting it within a wider archaeological framework, and a conclusion which explores the current European and world-wide trends and perspectives in the study of archaeological human remains. The Routledge Handbook of Archaeological Human Remains and Legislation makes a timely, much-needed contribution to the field of physical anthropology and is unique as it combines information on the excavation of human remains and the legislation that guides it, alongside information on the current state of physical anthropology across several continents. It is an indispensible tool for archaeologists involved in the excavation of human remains around the world.

Download or read book Salicylic Acid: A Multifaceted Hormone written by Rahat Nazar and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-20 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an overview of current knowledge, ideas and trends in the field of induced acclimation of plants to environmental challenges. Presenting recent advances in our understanding of the importance of salicylic acid, it paves the way for deciphering the precise role of salicylic acid in the field of plant physiology, biochemistry and agronomy, and breeding stress-tolerant and high-yielding sustainable transgenic crops. Adopting a mechanistic approach, the book offers valuable information on the role of salicylic acid in combating varied abiotic stresses. Plants are challenged by biotic and abiotic stresses. They adjust to changing environmental conditions by adopting various measures to induce regulatory self-defense pathways in response to different stresses in order to maintain their genetic potential to optimally grow and reproduce. To minimize cellular damage caused by such stresses, phytohormones provide a number of signaling networks involving developmental processes and plant responses to environmental stress. Phytohormones are potential tools for sustainable agriculture in the future. Significant advances have been made in identifying and understanding plant-hormone signaling, especially salicylic acid.

Download or read book Salicylic Acid - A Versatile Plant Growth Regulator written by Shamsul Hayat and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-07 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phytohormones are known to affect the growth and development of plant directly as well as indirectly. Salicylic acid (SA) is a phenolic phytohormone which induces systemic resistance in plants and also regulates defence responses. The derivatives of SA also play an important role in the regulation of various physiological and developmental processes in plants under normal and stressful environmental conditions. SA regulates seed germination, photosynthesis, ethylene biosynthesis, enzyme activities, nutrition, flowering, legume nodulation and overall growth and development of plant. Recently, advancement in elucidating the specific pathways of SA signal transduction has been noticed which helps in understanding the expression of specific genes associated with different developmental programs. The horizon of SA-mediated regulation of various physiological processes has also expanded, and various studies enumerating the efficacy of exogenously applied SA in practical agriculture have also been documented. Therefore, information regarding such recent developments needs to be compiled in the form of a book. This book aims to provide a collective information regarding SA which makes it a versatile plant growth regulator. The chapters included both theoretical and practical aspects that could be of immense use for researches and possible significant developments in future. It is intended that this book will be a help for students, teachers, and researchers, in understanding the relation between the phytohormone and agricultural sciences.

Download or read book Phytoremediation of Heavy Metals from Industrial Effluent by Amaranthus viridis L. and Acalypha indica L. written by Dr. Rita N. Kumar and published by Google Book Publishers. This book was released on with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 21st century is well renowned for wide scale industrialization and urbanization. This progress is global, but it has helped country like India in up-scaling its standards in the technological as well as manufacturing sectors. Due to such immense advancement, the by-products such as heavy metals, due to lack of waste recycling, improper waste disposal and effluent discharge, eventually enter the soil, water and air, and pollute the natural resources. Organic pollutants are biodegradable and have minimal effect on the biotic environment, but the non-biodegradable pollutants are recalcitrant in nature and cause maximum harm to the environment. Heavy metals are categorized as the most toxic inorganic pollutants. The natural sources of heavy metals include weathering of rocks, volcanic activities, leaching of metal ions from the parental rocks into the rivers or groundwater etc. The anthropogenic sources include the combustion of heavy metals containing fossil fuels, chemical industries, paint industries, mining of metals, fertilizers, pesticides, run-off from agricultural sites, various treatment plants liberating the toxicants emerging from the incineration plants along with several industrial and manufacturing activities like metal bending, electroplating, refining, blasting, etc. Remediation of contaminated soil is the utmost need in order to prevent further deterioration of soil and different ecosystems relying on it. Therefore, numerous technologies have evolved to clean-up the heavy metal contaminated soil. The physical methods include surface capping and encapsulation, electrical methods are electrokinetics and vitrification, chemical methods include soil flushing and immobilization, and biological methods encompass bioremediation and phytoremediation. Phytoremediation is a technology, which makes use of plants species to remediate the contaminated medium and bring it to the innocuous state while achieving the goal of sustainability. Phytoremediation studies have recently bloomed due to several plant species, which have high heavy metal uptake capacities owing to denser and rich biomass possessing higher metal extraction potentials. Species growing naturally over the contaminated lands have a high tolerance and innate quality of accumulating a high concentration of toxic substances without showing any apparent changes in the physiological characteristics of the plant. Hence, the scope of the current work focuses on screening of selected weedy species, which needs minimal growth requirements, economical, devoid of nutritive values, tolerant to multi-metal contaminated soil, and available throughout the year. Keeping in mind, the present book Phytoremediation of Heavy Metals from Industrial Effluent by Amaranthus viridis L. and Acalypha indica L. covers screening of hyperaccumulator plant species, scrutinizing their phytoremediation potential, cultivation of hyperaccumulator species applying various heavy metals in different concentrations, evaluating the levels of biochemical compounds in the species under heavy metal stress, exposure of selected hyperaccumulator species to different doses of industrial effluent, analysis of various biochemical parameters of species under effluent stress, and on-site cultivation studies for in situ remediation. The authors affirm that the book would indeed be the need of an hour for students, academicians, researchers, scientists, remediation specialists, industry managers, and pollution control board authorities to prevent the further degradation and deterioration of polluted sites using remediator plant species for maintaining sanctity of an environ for resilient sustainability.

Download or read book The First Farmers of Central Europe written by Penny Bickle and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2013-07-09 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From about 5500 cal BC to soon after 5000 cal BC, the lifeways of the first farmers of central Europe, the LBK culture (Linearbandkeramik), are seen in distinctive practices of longhouse use, settlement forms, landscape choice, subsistence, material culture and mortuary rites. Within the five or more centuries of LBK existence a dynamic sequence of changes can be seen in, for instance, the expansion and increasing density of settlement, progressive regionalisation in pottery decoration, and at the end some signs of stress or even localised crisis. Although showing many features in common across its very broad distribution, however, the LBK phenomenon was not everywhere the same, and there is a complicated mixture of uniformity and diversity. This major study takes a strikingly large regional sample, from northern Hungary westwards along the Danube to Alsace in the upper Rhine valley, and addresses the question of the extent of diversity in the lifeways of developed and late LBK communities, through a wide-ranging study of diet, lifetime mobility, health and physical condition, the presentation of the bodies of the deceased in mortuary ritual. It uses an innovative combination of isotopic (principally carbon, nitrogen and strontium, with some oxygen), osteological and archaeological analysis to address difference and change across the LBK, and to reflect on cultural change in general.
