In macro-econometrics more attention needs to be paid to the relationships among deterministic trends of different variables, or co-trending, especially when economic growth is of concern. The number of relationships, i.e., the co-trending rank, plays an important role in evaluating the veracity of propositions, particularly relating to the Japanese economic growth in view of the structural changes involved within it. This book demonstrates how to determine the co-trending rank from a given set of time series data for different variables. At the same time, the method determines how many of the co-trending relations also represent cointegrations. This enables us to perform statistical inference on the parameters of relations among the deterministic trends. Co-trending is an important contribution to the fields of econometric methods, macroeconomics, and time series analyses.
In Computer Science, Computer Programs have employed the collection of non-volatile resources called a Library which is being used for software Development. A Library has also been referred to as a collection of implementations of behaviour that are derived in terms of a language which affords us a distinct interface through which the behaviour is appealed to and summoned. For an instance, the folks who aspire to engrave an elegant program would use a library to be made system calls instead of executing those system calls over and over again. The library has been incorporated by various and vibrant factors such as Configuration Data, Documentation, Help Data, Templates of Messages, Pre-Written Code, Subroutines, Classes, Values or Type Specifications. JavaScript is a Prominent Programming Language that follows the ECMAScript Specification. As one of the foundational web development languages (along with HTML and CSS), it aids power a large fraction of the websites on the Internet. JavaScript libraries that would have several functions, methods, or objects to perform and execute practical tasks on a webpage or JS-based applications. It’s possible to even be built a WordPress site with them. We accumulated some of the preeminent libraries for JavaScript for the people who want to know about its libraries at its market in a descript way.
About the book: This book is a detailed guide to the different millets native to India. Millets are ancient grains that played a major role in human civilisation and were a part of our staple food until a few decades ago. However, due to globalisation and the use of other large grains (wheat, rice, and maize), millets were pushed out of our food baskets. This book hopes to simplify and propagate the reintroduction of millets into our daily diet. The history of millets, names of different millets in each Indian language, their respective nutrient value and health benefits have been discussed in detail in the book. Today, the human race is battling with 3 major problems: 1. Global warming 2. Lifestyle disorders such as diabetes, hypertension and heart diseases 3. Malnutrition in drought-prone countries and regions. Researchers have found one solution for all three problems - Millets. Who should read this book? The book is written in a simple, easy-to-comprehend format for everybody. Anyone who has a keen interest in knowing and trying different types of food can read this book to broaden their knowledge. Those who seek healthier lifestyle foods will also find the information provided in the book useful. Moreover, this book is a friendly guide for health-conscious people, nutritionists/dietitians and healthcare providers. The book also contains high-quality coloured images of all millets for a better understanding of the millets and their uses. About the author: Dr. Kruti S. Dhirwani is a consulting physician and clinical nutritionist determined to preserve health and prevent disease with clinically-proven, scientifically-tested, and age-old wisdom-verified natural resources.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by progressive demyelination and neurodegeneration of the central nervous system (CNS), constituting the most common demyelinating disease of the CNS in humans. Although intensive research over many decades has unveiled many pathophysiological mechanisms in the development of MS, the cause is still unknown. Nevertheless, it does seem clear that genetic susceptibility and environmental factors play crucial roles. Trending Topics in Multiple Sclerosis is a book that provides an insight into some of the main problems currently debated in this area of research, focusing on topics that deal with genetic and environmental risk factors, pathophysiological mechanisms, neurocognitive findings, and neuroprotective strategies.
Canada’s political landscape has changed, but scholars are still grappling with the profound alterations brought about by the internet and social media. What’s Trending in Canadian Politics? examines political communication and democratic governance in a digital age. Exploring the effects of conventional and emerging political communication practices in Canada, contributors investigate topics such as the uses of digital media for political communication, grassroots-driven protest, public behaviour prediction, and relationships between members of civil society and the political establishment. This interdisciplinary volume lays robust theoretical and methodological foundations for the study of transformative trends in political communication and in the relationship between political actors, institutions, and democracy. Original and timely, What’s Trending in Canadian Politics? sheds light on digital innovations while providing a broader perspective on the online and offline dynamics of contemporary Canadian political engagement.

The Latin American region has been at the forefront in combating infections caused by Escherichia coli strains in humans, animals, and the environment. The continuous emergence and evolution of pathogenic E. coli strains associated with human and animal infections have demonstrated that (i) groups of related pathogenic E. coli are responsible for most infections caused by this bacterial species; (ii) diverse virulence phenotypes expressed during infection defined each one of these pathogroups; (iii) the geographical distribution of pathogroups in Latin America and the evolution of new isolates was defined by the dominant pathogroup and presence of distinct virulence strains; (iv) acquisition of mobile elements or accumulation of point mutations accelerate the development of antibiotic resistance in some of these strains. The Latin American Coalition for Escherichia coli Research (LACER), a multidisciplinary network of over seventy research groups in eleven Latin American countries and the USA, was established in 2009 to apply One Health principles in defining and combating this pathogen. The previous edition of this text, Escherichia coli in the Americas (c. 2016) was the culmination of their wisdom about E. coli, from its role as a commensal bacterium to its characteristics as a pathogen causing disease in animals and humans. This new edition presents recent advances and contextualizes all aspects of E. coli in a One Health perspective, from the environment, to animals, to humans. It addresses E. coli interactions with host microbiota, CNS, and phages. It includes cutting edge insights on hybrid strains, molecular mechanisms of virulence and pathogenesis, resistance, domestic and wild reservoirs, disease surveillance in Latin America, genomic analysis, food safety, and new therapies. Crucially, it also provides translations and analysis of key reports on Escherichia coli published in Spanish and Portuguese. This book serves as a critical resource for scientists in industry and academia, clinicians managing associated infections, and trainees and students studying basic and clinical aspects of E. coli pathogenesis.
