Book SynopsisEl Manual de Pruebas y Criterios contiene los criterios, métodos y procedimientos de prueba que se deben utilizar para la clasificación de mercancías peligrosas de acuerdo con las disposiciones de las partes 2 y 3 de las Recomendaciones de las Naciones Unidas para el Transporte de Mercancías Peligrosas, Reglamentación Modelo y para la clasificación de los productos químicos que presentan peligros físicos conforme a lo dispuesto en el Sistema Globalmente Armonizado de Clasificación y Etiquetado de productos químicos (SGA). Por tanto, el Manual complementa los reglamentos nacionales e internacionales desarrollados a partir de la Reglamentación Modelo o del SGA. Desde su primera versión, elaborada y posteriormente adoptada por el Comité de Expertos en Transporte de Mercancías Peligrosas del Consejo Económico y Social de las Naciones Unidas (ECOSOC) en 1984, el Manual se ha ido modificando y actualizando cada dos años. Dicha actualización se lleva a cabo bajo los auspicios del Comité de Expertos en Transporte de Mercancías Peligrosas y del Sistema Globalmente Armonizado de clasificación y etiquetado de productos químicos, que reemplaza al comité original desde el año 2001. La sexta edición revisada, que se publicó en 2015, tiene en cuenta las recomendaciones adoptadas por el comité de expertos en su quinto y sexto período de sesiones que se celebraron en 2010 y 2012 (publicadas con el símbolo ST/SG/AC.10/11/Rev.5/Amend.2 y ST/SG/AC.10/11/Rev.4/Amend.2) así como las adoptadas durante su séptimo período de sesiones, que se celebró en 2014 (ST/SG/AC.10/42/Add.2). Las enmiendas contenidas en la presente publicación fueron adoptadas por el Comité durante su octavo período de sesiones (9 de Diciembre de 2016).

New India Publishing Agency Climate Change and Natural Resources Management
Book SynopsisThis book addresses the important issues of food security and sustainability of natural resources of India in the context of the projected climate change. Agroecosystems being the sites of intense interaction between human beings and natural world, global climate change is likely to affect the resource base, the crop productivity, input use efficiency and overall the profitability of agricultural production systems to a great extent. However, the adverse effects of climate change can be alleviated through mitigation and adaptation strategies which carry importance due to the increasing population and food demand in India. Thus, this compilation covers possible sources and sinks of greenhouse gases in Indian context including the potentials of soil carbon sequestration, crop pest and soil management and scientific livestock management as mitigation and adaptation options. This book also includes some topics on fundamentals of green house effect and the possible mechanisms by which soil nutrient availability alters due to CO2 fertilization. The schematic diagrams, tables and graphs have been included to make the book more illustrative. The likelihood of carbon credits and trading through best management practices can help Indian farmers earning carbon credits in future. The book is useful for researchers, farm managers, policy makers and also students engaged in climate change related studies.Table of Contents1 Greenhouse Effect and Contribution of Indian Agriculture by S.
