Though agricultural productivity is declining and environmentalists are questioning the use of agri-inputs, Indian agriculture cannot do away with agri-inputs. This book, after understanding the past policy environment, agri-input marketing, and promotion strategies of both the government and private companies, suggests frameworks for agri-input marketing companies to align thAgricultural industriesIndiaMarketingAgricultural industriesMarketing.338.10954Venugopal Pingali1958-1705719Kaundinya RamMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910820595003321Agri-input marketing in India4092663UNINA04532nam 22006495 450 991036495170332120200702063428.03-030-12057-010.1007/978-3-030-12057-3(CKB)4100000010013832(MiAaPQ)EBC6000807(DE-He213)978-3-030-12057-3(PPN)242819818(EXLCZ)99410000001001383220191217d2019 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierNovel Thermoelectric Materials and Device Design Concepts /edited by Sergey Skipidarov, Mikhail Nikitin1st ed. 2019.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2019.1 online resource (327 pages)3-030-12056-2 Includes bibliographical references and index.Chapter1: Investigating the performance of Bismuth-Antimony Telluride -- Chapter2: SnSe: breakthrough or not breakthrough? -- Chapter3: Tin Sulfide: a new nontoxic earth-abundant thermoelectric material -- Chapter4: SnTe thermoelectrics -- Chapter5: Lead chalcogenide thermoelectric materials -- Chapter6: High thermoelectric performance in nano-precipitated PbTe-PbSe-PbS quaternary system -- Chapter7: Multicomponent chalcogenides with diamond-like structure as thermoelectrics -- Chapter8: 1-2-2 layered Zintl phases thermoelectric materials -- Chapter9: Skutterudites: breakthrough or not breakthrough -- Chapter10: Half-Heusler thermoelectrics -- Chapter11: Polymer-derived ceramics (PDCs) – a novel inorganic thermoelectric material system -- Chapter12: Grain-boundary engineering for thermal conductivity reduction in bulk nanostructured thermoelectric materials -- Chapter13: Novel measurements and analysis for thermoelectric devices -- Chapter14: Thermoelectric module simulation for radiant heat recovery.This book presents and facilitates the interchange of new research and development results concerned with hot topics in thermoelectric generators (TEGs) research, development and production.
