La recherche collective dont cet ouvrage est le fruit s'est donné pour ambition de cerner les implications juridiques de l'adaptation des territoires aux changements climatiques. L'équipe s'est appuyée sur l'exemple de l'île de La Réunion pour s'interroger sur les traductions juridiques du discours politique résultant de la COP 21 qui consistait, tout à la fois, à mettre l'accent sur l'adaptation aux effets des changements climatiques et non plus seulement sur l'atténuation des émissions de gaz à effet de serre, à décentraliser les politiques climatiques de manière à les faire correspondre aux spécificités locales, à adopter une approche transversale de la vulnérabilité des territoires et des populations, et à favoriser les échanges de bonnes pratiques au titre d'une coopération globale. Dans ce contexte, les travaux conduits identifient, dans différentes branches du droit, les expressions de l'adaptation, et déterminent si le droit applicable à La Réunion est adapté à l'enjeu climatique. L'accent est mis sur les processus d'agencement des éléments hétérogènes identifiés comme autant de composantes de l'adaptation à La Réunion, afin de révéler et d'évaluer les mécanismes juridiques qui permettent de faire naître et de stabiliser les attentes normatives des parties prenantes de l'adaptation des territoires aux changements climatiques. Cette recherche a été financée par le ministère de la Transition écologique et solidaire, dans le cadre du programme OMERAD (15-MCGOT-GICC-2-CVS-009).

This book includes updated information about microRNA regulation, for example, in the fields of circular RNAs, multiomics analysis, biomarkers and oncogenes. The variety of topics included in this book reaffirms the extent to which microRNA regulation affects biological processes. Although microRNAs are not translated to proteins, their importance for biological processes is not less than proteins. An understanding of their roles in various biological processes is critical to understanding gene function in these biological processes. Although non-coding RNAs other than microRNAs have recently come under investigation, microRNA still remains the front runner as the subject of genetic and biological studies. In reading the collection of papers, readers can grasp the most updated information regarding microRNA regulation, which will continue to be an important topic in genetics and biology.

Food security emerged as an issue in the first decade of the 21st Century, questioning the sustainability of the human race, which is inevitably related directly to the agricultural water management that has multifaceted dimensions and requires interdisciplinary expertise in order to be dealt with. The purpose of this book is to bring together and integrate the subject matter that deals with the equity, profitability and irrigation water pricing; modelling, monitoring and assessment techniques; sustainable irrigation development and management, and strategies for irrigation water supply and conservation in a single text. The book is divided into four sections and is intended to be a comprehensive reference for students, professionals and researchers working on various aspects of agricultural water management. The book seeks its impact from the diverse nature of content revealing situations from different continents (Australia, USA, Asia, Europe and Africa). Various case studies have been discussed in the chapters to present a general scenario of the problem, perspective and challenges of irrigation water use.

The objective of this Genetic Polymorphisms book is to rehighlight and provide few updates on the role of genetic polymorphisms in medicine and agriculture, which void emerging opinion on ""full death"" of genetic polymorphisms as useful genetic markers. Chapters presented here demonstrate the future benefit of SNPs in many genetic studies as well as prognosis disease and diagnosis.

This edited book, Chromosomal Abnormalities - A Hallmark Manifestation of Genomic Instability, contains a series of chapters highlighting several aspects related to the generation of chromosomal abnormalities in genetic material. We are extremely grateful to the authors who had contributed with valuable information about the role of genomic instability in pathological disorders as well as in the evolution process.
