The spike in global food prices in 2007�08 not only led to riots on several continents; it also reawakened fears about the world�s future ability to feed itself, as growing populations place greater demands on agricultural systems operating in increasingly difficult environmental and climatic conditions.

With more than half the world�s people and high levels of inequality, Asia lies at the centre of the global food-security challenge of the twenty-first century. The region � especially China and India � is drawing on world stocks and importing more staples, as its own farms strain...

This book explores the ways in which non-state actors (NSAs) in South Asia are involved in securitizing non-traditional security challenges in the region at the sub-state level. South Asia is the epicentre of some of the most significant international security challenges today. Yet, the complexities of the region's security dynamics remain under-researched. While traditional security issues, such as inter-state war, border disputes and the threat of nuclear devastation in South Asia, remain high on the agendas of policy-makers and academics both within and beyond the region, scant attention...

A biosensor is an integrated bioanalytical device that employs biological elements, as analyte sensor, coupled to a transducer for signal detection. Biosensor provides sensitive and selective determination of various compounds of analytical relevance. Recently, use of self-assembled monolayer (SAM) is gaining attention as biosensor matrix. SAM provides a simple route to functionalize electrode surfaces for biosensor fabrication. The alarming rise in the rates of heart diseases due to abnormal levels of cholesterol in blood has stimulated public concern about the estimation of cholesterol...
