"The protein-folding problem is one of the major unsolved problems in the modern day molecular biology. Despite advances in experimental methods (Crystallography and NMR) and existing protein structure prediction techniques, the gap between the number of known protein sequences and determined structures continues to grow.

This demonstrates the need of applicability of an accurate and high throughput program for structure prediction. Machine learning techniques/soft computing techniques are playing pivotal role in coping up with this problem.

Unfortunately none of the results reported so far have desired accuracy. This book can be used as a reference book (less)

From the preface: The objective of this practical manual is to give a practical knowledge to the researchers, students and to the biotechnologists in different field of life sciences. This manual is a core collection of experiments of biotech sciences, which will be very useful for those who desire to have fundamental practicals.

Biotechnology has become a part of our lives. Applications of biotechnological techniques have provided us many benefits, and a better quality of life.

The world today uses a language which has a lot of biotechnological science in it. Without knowing, we use many words and phrases derived from biotech science.

We are also becoming conscious of our environment as well as our economy. Biotechnology has much to do with both these aspects.

"Developments in aquaculture are gaining considerable momentum in India through innovative and advanced technologies. However we need to be cautious and conscious of the 'eco-friendly' and 'sustainable' approaches while we direct our energies on improved and enhanced yield through aquaculture.

"Sustainable Development" has come to stay and it will be accepted as a viable concept to eradicate poverty and to improve the quality of human life while living within the carrying capacity of supporting ecosystem. Needless to emphasis that it is paramount importance in aquaculture that it has to be practiced within the boundaries of its sustainable limits.

Each sound on the Tabla has an onomatopoetic syllable to represent it. Therefore, the Tabla player must learn to speak a new language in addition to playing.

These syllables are, in fact, the main mode of teaching and communicating Tabla material. They help the student to understand the sound to be produced and aid the memorization of compositions.

Speed reading techniques are not just about counting how many words an individual can read in a minute. To actually read something states that it is important that the person understands what is being read.

How To Read Better And Faster by Norman Lewis is based on the premise that one's reading speed is linked to concentration and retention. One cannot happen without the other.

So, if a person's reading speed increases, a significant increase in his concentration and powers of retention should also be noted. The book shows readers some practical ways in which they can increase their reading speed.

It contains exercises that can be practised to achieve an increase in one's reading..
