Identification of desirable genotypes with traits of interest is discernible for making genetic improvement of crop plants. In this direction, screening of a large number of germplasm for desirable traits and transfer of identified traits into agronomic backgrounds through recombination breeding is the common breeding approach. Although visual screening is easier for qualitative traits, its use is not much effective for quantitative traits and also for those, which are difficult to score visually. Therefore, it is imperative to phenotype the germplasm accessions and breeding materials...

Prince is a humble school teacher who leads a simple life. But he is no ordinary man. His every action has a bearing on what happens in his country, Wonderland.
So, when Wonderland goes through a terrible crisis on all fronts, the needle points to Prince. Can he do something to stem the slide? But how can Prince do anything when he doesn't even know that he holds the key to the fortunes of Wonderland? Meanwhile, unknown to him again, Prince is being targeted by someone with vested interests using nefarious tactics.
Enter Raymond, RK and a couple of intelligence officials who want to...

This book is a collection of over 225 multiple choice type questions (MCQs) and more than 40 practice/exam questions with solutions. This book complements a 2-volume textbook set titledThermal Engineeringby the same author. The answers are adequately supported by well-illustrated diagrams wherever necessary for better understanding of the concepts. The book also included steam tables as an appendix to aid in problem solving .This book proves useful for undergraduate students of mechanical engineering and related disciplines. The book is used in conjunction with the author's textbook set on...

This highly informative and carefully presented book offers a comprehensive overview of the fundamentals of thermal engineering. The book focuses both on the fundamentals and more complex topics such as the basics of thermodynamics, Zeroth Law of thermodynamics, first law of thermodynamics, application of first law of thermodynamics, second law of thermodynamics, entropy, availability and irreversibility, properties of pure substance, vapor power cycles, introduction to working of IC engines, air-standard cycles,  gas turbines and jet propulsion, thermodynamic property relations and...
