Inter-specific hybridization for yellow vein mosaic virus (YVMV) resistance followed by selection in the segregating generations is an effective method for obtaining desirable recombinants. Several wild species of cultivated okra showed high degree of YVMV resistance. However, resistant varieties developed by various research organizations by inter-specific hybridization have started showing sign of susceptibility, probably due to arrival of new virus strains. Hence, it is imperative to find diverse source of resistance to YVMV and evolve resistant varieties by suitable gene introgression...

In any solid waste management study information on households' waste management is very critical. Since the lion share of the municipal solid waste (76%) is contributed from residential houses assessing this part will contribute much for the overall management of the municipal solid waste management. in parallel with this, the quantity of solid waste generated in low-income areas is often assumed to be less than the solid waste generated in high-income neighborhoods but significant solid waste mismanagement identified in low-income area. Thus the study aimed at to assess knowledge, attitude...

The book describes the molecular genetics research on families with a variety of inherited eye disorders from Pakistan. Inbreeding and consanguineous marriages are very commonly practiced in Pakistan, leading to the segregation of a wide variety of genetic disorders in large mutigenerational families, including disorders of the eyes. For this reason, Pakistan is considered as a goldmine for the genetic researchers. The aim of the study presented in this book was to map the disease phenotype and identify genes responsible for inherited ocular disorders in Pakistani families. The ultimate...

Hotspots of a word/topic are time periods with a burst of activities in a time stamped document set. Identifying and analyzing hot spots of topics has been an important area of research. Finding hot spots of topics requires processing of contents of documents which is often time consuming. In this thesis, we explore MapReduce style algorithms for computing hot spots of topics. MapReduce is a distributed parallel programming model and an associated implementation for processing and analyzing large datasets. User specifies a map function that processes a key/value pair to generate a set of...
