This book is about the everyday journey we all take from our all walks of life and sometimes forget that there are other things out there that we miss before we look, The environment we live in and the and the social surroundings we live with, time passing in seconds rather than minutes. The colours of spring is the colour of new beginning and the journey yet to come, we all live in a shell wanting to get out from the hold of winters grasp. Th...

Bangladesh is home to one of the richest treasures - prized Black Bengal goats. Goats play an important role in livelihoods of smallholder farmers in Bangladesh as they serve as assets that can be easily liquidated to provide cash in times of need. Black Bengal goats are dwarf goats and are known to be famous for its adaptability, higher disease resistant, fertility, fecundity, early sexual maturity, larger litter size, delicacy of meat and su...

This books examines whether public service liberalization poses a threat to gender and human rights?

Phase-field modeling has spread to a variety of applications involving phase transformations.While the method has wide applicability, derivation of quantitative predictions requires deeper understanding of the coupling between the system and model parameters. The book highlights a novel phase-field model based on a grand-potential formalism allowing for an elegant and efficient solution to problems in phase transformations.

Substantially revised, the Ninth Edition of Heritage of Western Civilization provides a rich and complex picture of Western history. New editors John Reisbord and Mita Choudhury have included fourteen new selections in the Ninth Edition, six of which are authored by women. In addition, revised introductions and new questions for consideration provide the New to the Ninth Edition Volume I:• Esarhaddon, "Second Inscription of Esarhaddon"• Xenoph...

This book depicts the marketing scenario of the food processing industries. The whole work is divided into eleven chapters which throws light into the various aspects of the food processing industries stretching of the food processing industries stretching from the supply of raw materials, market demand, problems, prospects, government assistance to the industry and consumer behaviour towards processed foods. The whole work lay special emphasi...

Many fascinating applications of liquid crystals -- a material that possesses behaviour in between the crystalline solid and the liquid phases -- have been reported by the RandD workers. These materials exhibit amazing features that make them indispensable for versatile usage. Liquid crystal based flat display panels are now found in mass volume in use as television and computer monitors. Apart from this, liquid crystals can be used in sensing...

This book maps out the frontiers of optical technology in two major subdisciplines: optical materials and optical devices. The optical materials and material architectures covered include nanostructured silicon, chiral sculptured thin films, magnetic photonic crystals, and switchable materials for efficient lighting and decorative optics. The optical devices addressed include silicon waveguides for integrated circuitry, high-speed electro-opti...

This volume includes the full proceedings from the 1996 Multicultural Marketing Conference presented by the Academy of Marketing Science (AMS) and Old Dominion University in Virginia Beach, Virginia. The focus of the conference and the enclosed papers is on marketing to various ethnic groups in both a US and global context. It presents papers on various multicultural issues across the entire spectrum of marketing activities and functions inclu...

This book focuses on high-gain antennas in the terahertz spectrum and their optimization. The terahertz spectrum is an unallocated EM spectrum, which is being explored for a number of applications, especially to meet increasing demands of high data rates for wireless space communications. Space communication systems using the terahertz spectrum can resolve the problems of limited bandwidth of present wireless communications without radio-frequ...

This book explores the terahertz antenna technology towards implementation of compact, consistent and cheap terahertz sources, as well as the high sensitivity terahertz detectors. The terahertz EM band provides a transition between the electronic and the photonic regions thus adopting important characteristics from these regimes. These characteristics, along with the progress in semiconductor technology, have enabled researchers to exploit hit...

This book describes a metamaterial-based active absorber for potential biomedical engineering applications. Terahertz (THz) spectroscopy is an important tool for imaging in the field of biomedical engineering, due to the non-invasive, non-ionizing nature of terahertz radiation coupled with its propagation characteristics in water, which allows the operator to obtain high-contrast images of skin cancers, burns, etc. without detrimental effects....

This book is focused on derivations of analytical expressions for stealth and cloaking applications. An optimal version of electromagnetic (EM) stealth is the design of invisibility cloak of arbitrary shapes in which the EM waves can be controlled within the cloaking shell by introducing a prescribed spatial variation in the constitutive parameters. The promising challenge in design of invisibility cloaks lies in the determination of permittiv...

Critical Neuroscience: A Handbook of the Social and Cultural Contexts of Neuroscience brings together multi-disciplinary scholars from around the world to explore key social, historical and philosophical studies of neuroscience, and to analyze the socio-cultural implications of recent advances in the field. This text's original, interdisciplinary approach explores the creative potential for engaging experimental neuroscience with social studie...

This book is a project toward the continuing theme of the Islamic worldview of economy-society-institution interactions in national and international forums, wherein individual and group preferences are created and sustained by the regeneration of knowledge into higher levels of realising truth. Truth and the medium of knowledge for realising higher levels of truth, are argued to be the only most immutable character of all systems.

The pursuit of clean technology in any Pulp and Paper mills calls for involvement of full range of its production related and non production related departments.The approach must be flexible enough to adopt a systematic step by step approach to ensure maximum exploitation of clean technology potential. An attempt has been made in this book with the special reference of Paper and Pulp Mills.This book deals with available clean technology and it...

Diabetes Mellitus has emerged as a global health hazard having tremendous socio-economic impact to the individual as well as society as a whole. Diabetes is one of the most common non-communicable diseases. It is one of the leading causes of death in most high-income countries and has assumed an epidemic in many developing countries. The incidence of this disease is increasing day by day due to change of dietary habits, socio-economic status, ...

In Interculturalism and Resistance in the London Theater, Mita Choudhury argues that the eighteenth-century British theater is a dynamic expression and register of the anxieties and tensions of a culture poised for global supremacy. By strategic consideration of political and intellectual alliances that the theater inspired and stifled, and through discussions of a wide cross-section of performance practices from the time of Dryden to that of ...

What if our interactions with those different from us are strongly influenced by things happening below the radar of awareness, hidden even from ourselves? Deep Diversity explores this question and argues that "us vs. them" is an unfortunate but normal part of the human experience due to reasons of both nature and nurture.

This book introduces students to the present state of the art in the economics of institutionalism and social policy. It also introduces the reader to a critique of mainstream economic thinking, followed by the development of a humanistic social interaction model of economic institutions, behavior, and social policy. The author takes a broad look at some of the major problems of social institutions and policy in the Canadian context. Contents:...
