    Abstract This book is Volume 2 which is published to complement "Environmental Processes and Management: Tools and Practices" (https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-030-38152-3), 2020 This book provides an in-depth, well-researched and science-based approach to applying key project management and spatial tools and practices in environmental projects. This book is an important read for leaders considering projects that balance social–economic growth against minimizing its ill effects on Planet Earth. This book brings together several aspects of groundwater engineering, as well as the formula and analytical approaches required for more informed decision-making. It also highlights the vital importance of understanding the technological, economic and social dimensions of environmental studies explained through dynamic approaches and illustrative figures that have short-term results and long-term impacts. This book emphasizes on encouraging the modern and vibrant research works conducted by young researchers across the world. This book clearly details the general application of fundamental groundwater processes, the character of the different types of systems in which they occur and the way in which these factors influence process dynamics, environmental systems and their possible remedies. The book sets a possible recommendation for the professionalism with which environmental research should be planned, executed, monitored, assessed and delivered. While primarily intended for professionals responsible for the management of groundwater projects or interested in improving the overall efficiency of such projects, it is also useful for managers in the private, public and not-for-profit sectors. The book is a valuable resource for students at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. In addition, this book serves as an indispensable guide for anyone willing to develop their skills in modern groundwater / environmental management and related techniques.

    Series title Livestock Diseases and Management,
    Abstract This book, which is the first volume of the book series-Livestock Diseases and Management, summarizes the prominence and implications of the emerging and transboundary animal viruses. Although the livestock plays an important role in the economy of many countries, the emerging and transboundary animal viral diseases possess a serious risk to the animal-agriculture sector and food security globally. The book describes the precise and up-to-date information on animal viral diseases which have emerged in the recent past or are re-emerging due to various environmental factors and those which are not bounded in restricted national boundaries and attained the transboundary status. The chapters summarize the recent advancements in the molecular state-of-art tools towards the development of diagnostics, prophylactics, and therapeutics of these viruses. It also explicitly describes the challenges imposed by the emerging and transboundary viral infections and our preparedness to counter them. .

    Abstract Background: Intermediate and high-risk features (IRFs/HRFs) for locoregional recurrence following initial surgery for oropharyngeal SCCs (OP-SCCs) were defined prior to the known association of HPV with OP-SCC. There are limited reports on practice patterns and outcomes associated with post-operative radiation therapy (PORT) or chemoradiation (POCRT) for HPV-associated OP-SCCs.
    Materials/methods: The National Cancer Database was queried for patients with HPV-associated OP-SCCs managed initially with surgery with IRFs or HRFs. IRFs were defined as pT3/T4 disease, pN1-3 disease, and lymphovascular space invasion, and HRFs as positive margins and extranodal extension (ENE). Patients were stratified into no adjuvant therapy, PORT, or POCRT arms. Kaplan-Meier analysis was utilized for comparison of overall survival (OS) between treatment arms followed by a Cox multivariate (MVA) proportional-hazards model and propensity score analyses with inverse probability treatment weighting (IPTW).
    Results: We identified 6,301 patients; 51.2% had IRFs only and 48.8% had HRFs. Regarding treatment, 25.5%, 38.2%, and 36.3% of patients received no RT, PORT, and POCRT, respectively. Patients with IRFs who did not receive RT or CRT had inferior 8-year OS (81.1% vs. 87.8%; p < 0.001) that remained significant on IPTW MVA (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.69 (95% CI: 1.27-2.24; p < 0.001). Among patients with HRFs, 8-year OS was not significantly different between patients receiving PORT vs. POCRT (77.3% vs. 79.2%; p = 0.22) that remained insignificant on IPTW MVA (HR = 0.91(0.72-1.17); p = 0.48).
    Conclusion: A significant proportion of HPV-associated OP-SCC patients with IRFs or HRFs did not receive PORT, which was associated with inferior OS. We did not demonstrate with statistical power that POCRT vs. PORT was associated with superior OS in patients with HRFs, though prospective studies are warranted.

    Abstract Heavy oil could be a good alternative to light crude oil to meet energy needs, but these oils’ foremost concerns are their production and transportation due to their high viscosity. The oil's viscosity is directly proportional to the asphaltene content, the most polar and massive component of the oil. These asphaltene molecules have the potential to self-agglomeration, thereby viscosity increases. In the current work, amphiphilic compound with two different reaction times (6 and 24 h) was synthesized from chitosan using an ionic liquid and characterized by several analytical techniques. Then the functionalized molecule with high solubility was tested as an asphaltene dispersant and viscosity modifier, quantitatively and qualitatively by viscosity measurements, UV–vis spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results show that the synthesized compounds can interact with the crude oil matrix and thus reduce viscosity. Also a delay in the critical micro-aggregation concentration from 11.00 to 12.45 wt. % of asphaltene after the addition of the synthesized compound shows that it can also work as an asphaltene dispersant. Further, the increased spacing between the aromatic sheets also supports the dispersion of asphaltenes or increases its solubility in the crude oil matrix, which is confirmed by the XRD patterns.

    Abstract Diabetes mellitus, commonly referred to as diabetes, is a group of metabolic disorders characterized by chronic elevation in blood glucose levels, resulting from inadequate insulin production, defective cellular response to extracellular insulin, and/or impaired glucose metabolism. The two main types that account for most diabetics are type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), each with their own pathophysiological features. T1D is an autoimmune condition where the body's immune system attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. This leads to lack of insulin, a vital hormone for regulating blood sugar levels and cellular glucose uptake. As a result, those with T1D depend on lifelong insulin therapy to control their blood glucose level. In contrast, T2DM is characterized by insulin resistance, where the body's cells do not respond effectively to insulin, coupled with a relative insulin deficiency. This form of diabetes is often associated with obesity, sedentary lifestyle, and/or genetic factors, and it is managed with lifestyle changes and oral medications. Animal models play a crucial role in diabetes research. However, given the distinct differences between T1DM and T2DM, it is imperative for researchers to employ specific animal models tailored to each condition for a better understanding of the impaired mechanisms underlying each condition, and for assessing the efficacy of new therapeutics. In this review, we discuss the distinct animal models used in type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus research and discuss their strengths and limitations.
