For Gita, a shy Indian graduate student at Berkeley, life is a complex whirl of new friends, culture shock, creative survival on a graduate stipend, and, of course, romance. Gita's beloved Aunty has consulted her astronumerologist and, according to the stars, Gita is soon destined to meet her jori--or, as they say in America, "Mr. Right". Author signings.

One defining feature of any federalist process is the pattern of intergovernmental fiscal flows. This work is an attempt to uncover the logic behind the pattern of fiscal flows in the Russian Federation soon after the break up of Soviet Union. The general consensus seemed to be that there is no discernible pattern to these flows and at best they are determined purely by politically troublesome behavior by the regional players. The main finding...

Offers practical ideas on how to improve maintenance and reliability performance. This title provides a logical organization with chapters grouped into six broad headings, enabling readers to choose the order in which they wish to absorb the lessons, which are based on the Shewhart-Deming Continuous Improvement cycle.

This book contains the proceedings of the "Porous Ceramics: Novel Developments and Applications" and "Next Generation Bioceramics" symposia, which were held on January 27-February 1, 2008 in Daytona Beach, FL.

With contributed papers from the 2011 Materials Science and Technology symposia, this is a useful one-stop resource for understanding the most important issues involved in the processing, properties, and applications of biomaterials science.

Anton Chekhov is revered as a boldly innovative playwright and short story writer. This title introduces readers to some other sides of Chekhov: his pithy, witty observations on the writing process, his life as a writer through accounts by his friends, family, and lovers, and his venture into nonfiction through his book "Sakhalin Island".

The concept of radiation from microstrip antenna was proposed about three decades ago. Because of numerous advantages of these antennas over the conventional microwave antennas like light weight, low cost, low volume, planar structure, conformability to any surface, and compatibility with integrated circuit and solid state devices, such antennas are of great interest for a diverse range of applications in terrestrial and satellite communicatio...

Nanobiomaterials: Nanostructured Materials for Biomedical Applications serves as a unique source for the rapidly growing biomaterials community on topics at the interface of biomaterials and nanotechnology. The book covers an extensive range of topics related to the processing, characterization, modeling, and applications of nanostructured medical device materials and biological materials. . Topics cover the science and technology of nanostruc...

This book deals with the EM analysis of closed microwave cavities based on a three-dimensional FDTD method. The EM analysis is carried out for (i) rectangular microwave ovens and (ii) hybrid-cylindrical microwave autoclaves at 2.45 GHz. The field distribution is first estimated inside domestic rectangular ovens in xy-, yz-, and zx-plane. Further, the RF leakage from the oven door is determined to study the effect of leakage radiation on wirele...

Seaweeds, especially brown seaweeds, have a balanced fatty acid composition with reference to n-3/n-6 FA ratio pointing to their usefulness as sources of PUFA and also make them suitable candidates for further research as dietary ingredients in aquaculture feeds for fish/shrimp hatchery, as these diets require higher PUFA contents. Some of the seaweeds contain unique lipid compounds like NMI and conjugated fatty acids. These unique fatty acids...

Inhaltlich unveränderte Neuauflage. Interaktive Medien und neue Informationstechnologien finden in Kunst­museen und Kunsthallen nur sehr zögernd Beachtung. Ihre Wirkung auf das Besucherverhalten unter Gesichtspunkten der Pädagogik und des Marketings wurde bisher kaum oder nur am Rande thematisiert. Die Gründe für eine nur verhaltene Auseinandersetzung mit neuer Informationstechnologie in diesem Bereich sind vielfältig: So wird häufig die Auffa...

This book brings together the latest thinking about poverty dynamics from diverse analytic traditions. Leading development practitioners and scholars from the fields of anthropology, economics, political science, and sociology, critically examine the literature from their disciplines and contribute new frameworks and evidence from their own works.

Chandran is a good-natured, popular, rather dreamy student who works hard to pass his exams. Not all is well in Chandran's horoscope and while some customs can be forgotten, others must be strictly observed: customs that temporarily cause Chandran to turn his back on the legendary Malgudi altogether.
