An evolution is currently underway in the textile industry and Textile for Industrial Applications is the guidebook for its growth. This industry can be classified into three categories—clothing, home textile, and industrial textile. Industrial textiles, also known as technical textiles, are a part of the industry that is thriving and showing great promise.Unlike conventional textiles traditionally used for clothing or furnishing by consumers, industrial textiles a...

This book introduces readers to numerous multiplicative inverse functional equations and their stability results in various spaces. This type of functional equation can be of use in solving many physical problems and also has significant relevance in various scientific fields of research and study. In particular, multiplicative inverse functional equations have applications in electric circuit theory, physics, and relations connecting the harmonic mean and arithmetic mean of several values...

This book focuses on multiple plant stresses and the molecular basis of adaptation, addressing the molecular mechanism and adaptation for both abiotic and biotic stresses.Ensuring the yield of crop plants grown under multiple individual and/or combined stresses is essential to sustaining productivity. In this regard, the development of broad-spectrum stress-tolerant plants is important.However, to date information has largely been compiled only on the individual stress tole...

This second volume provides updated and new methods on plant–biotic interactions, including the use of bioinformatics as a tool, as well as various protocols from molecular biology, biochemistry, physiology, pathology, and agricultural sciences.Written in the format of the Methods and Protocols in Food Science series, chapters list necessary materials and methods for readily reproducible protocols.Authoritative and cutting-edge, Plant Biotic Stress: Methods and Protoco...

Global inequality has been a burning issue for years now. As the economies progress, it is expected that the benefits of growth will percolate to the lower sections of society. However, this percolation takes place in a discriminating manner. Inequality can be observed in terms of health, income, education, wealth, gender, availability of opportunities, and other socio-economic parameters. The governing authorities and international agencies have been taking various corrective measures to ...

This book covers the state-of-art image classification methods for discrimination of earth objects from remote sensing satellite data with an emphasis on fuzzy machine learning and deep learning algorithms. Both types of algorithms are described in such details that these can be implemented directly for thematic mapping of multiple-class or specific-class landcover from multispectral optical remote sensing data. These algorithms along with multi-date, multi-sensor remote sensing are capabl...

This book explores the flammability characteristics and fire-retardant mechanism of the natural fiber-based composites and biocomposites reinforced with the various fire retardant fillers based on the thermoset, thermoplastic and elastomers. Biocomposites are increasingly viewed as viable alternatives to synthetic fiber-reinforced composites for low- to medium-strength application. However, certain applications may involve the use of such material in elevated temperatures and conditions wh...

The rapid progress of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies has resulted in a complicated landscape for researchers and practitioners. Understanding and navigating the complexities of AI applications, particularly in the context of ChatGPT and its interactions with other AI tools, can be challenging. Researchers and academics need guidance to keep up with these technologies' evolving trends and implications, which leads to gaps in knowledge and implementation strategies. Additionally, ...

By integrating these technologies, businesses can improve their digital presence, engage customers more effectively, and stay ahead of technological advancements in today’s dynamic digital landscape.This edited book offers a glimpse i...

Business practices are being drastically altered and improved using AI and machine learning (ML), a branch of AI that enables autonomous machines. Big data can assist AI to automatically learn and acquire knowledge to assist managers in achieving their practical and technical objectives. AI brings new methods for conducting business, finding new opportunities in the global market, and executing work.Artificial Intelligence in Action: Transforming Industries and Society

As climate change is affecting economies and markets globally, environmental sustainability is becoming more crucial. Sustainability emphasizes the equality of future generations and is typically seen to have three components: an environmental, an economic, and a social component. Because attaining environmental sustainability also involves risks that might influence corporate operations and prospects in a strongly competitive market, thriving markets and environmental deterioration cannot...
