This survey of Non Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) throughout the state of Gujarat, India, aims to set availability, production, consumption, management, marketing and policy in the context of social and economic development of tribal communities. This book is not intended to be a manual of practice, rather, it is a comprehensible introduction to NTFPs' status in Gujarat. This book will also be useful to practitioners perhaps coming to the contribution of NTFPs to the forest revenue, production status etc.

This book is mainly focus on Grand Naine which has been become one of the most popular varieties of Banana for commercial plantations.The moderate height allows easy harvesting and some resistance to wind throw.Because of its importance as a staple crop as well as a cash crop, much botanical research has focused around the Grand Naine. Despite such advantages, authentic information available on morphological, phenological and yield attributing variations is limited in banana plant.So that investigation was carried out on banana cv. Grand Naine.We recorded growth charac-ters such as leaf...

This book includes information about evaluation of Eucalyptus clones and species against gall insect Leptocybe invasa Fisher and La Salle (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) on morphological basis. Eucalyptus is extensively cultivated in Gujarat by wood based industries, State Forest Development Corporation and tree farmers in social forestry or farm forestry. In Gujarat it has been reported to be damaged by gall wasp or blue gum chalcid on seedlings and young trees. In mature trees, the galls occur only on leaf midribs. Eucalyptus trees up to two years of age have been found more prone to the pest.The...

Coherent Raman scattering (CRS) microscopy is quickly gaining recognition in biomedical and pharmaceutical fields due to its capability of non-invasive, level-free chemical imaging of tissues and cells. It has enhanced sensitivity to many orders of magnitude as compared to its incoherent counter-part spontaneous Raman scattering. CARS, SRS and RIKE are the three most popular CRS techniques. Very few books are available which explain the three techniques altogether on the basis of a single mathematical framework. This book develops a simple and direct mathematical framework for nonlinear...

This book has a detailed review on CORDIC algorithm. It's VLSI Architecture, VHDL Implementation and Application as DFT implementation. I want to dedicate my work to my parents and family members whose constant encouragement and blessings have kept myself motivating to write this book. I am also thankful to the authors whose works I have consulted and quoted in this work. Last, but not the least, very special thanks to my friends for their patience and understanding without which this study would not have been in this present form, is greatly appreciated.

Coriandrum sativum L. is an annual herbaceous plant extensively grown and it's contributed 70% of the total seed spices in India. Coriandrum sativum leaves are used in preparing chutneys, sauces and flavouring in curries and soups. The seeds are used as spices in the preparation of curry powder, pickling spices, condiment and medicine. Its oil is used as a valuable ingredient in perfumes and food industries. Apart from it is also used for flavouring pastry, cookies-cakes, tobacco, bakery products, meat, fish, soda, syrups, candy preserves and liquor. Experimental finding indicates that high...
