This book explains the pattern of energy consumption across the globe. Chapters 2, 3 and 4, examine respectively the energy-income relationship for developing and developed countries, decomposition analysis of energy consumption, and the relationship of energy intensity with per capita income to determine the possible existence of threshold levels of per capita income at which the nature of relationship is altered. The findings from chapter 2 confirm the presence of a positive relationship between energy consumption per capita and real GDP per capita for developing and developed countries.

The overall aim of this book was to devise the priority list of the pesticides that are more likely to pose a risk to ground water contamination and can be potentially harmful to non-target organisms.It is recommended that the priority list of the chemicals should be devised regularly to cope with the environmental problems associated with pesticides contamination. The changes in PLFA with pesticide application be investigated for any possible changes in the microbial capabilities of mineralization, nitrogen fixation or other important role in soil fertility.

Nutritionists are now a days more concerned about food safety, malnutrition diet health linkages and food safety. Micro-nutrients arerequired for several metabolic ways and shortages lead to severe health differences. Calcium (Ca), as a nutrient, is most normally related to metabolism and formationof bone, more than 99 % bodily Ca exists inteeth and bones while around 1 % in circulatory systems. Bone serves as Ca storage site from where Ca is taken for metabolism along withfulfilling the requirement in the process of bone remodeling. Calcium (Ca) is essential for bones, muscles, hormones and other metabolic pathways. chicken egg shell (ESP) and chicken bone extract powders (CBEP) were used for Ca fortification of cookies.
