With the continuous advancement in technology data communication at higher data rates have become the need for the present and future technology. The data can be highly sensitive and loss of such data can hamper the communication which can cause huge loss to data, time and revenue. Thus survivability plays a very crucial role in optical networks. It is the ability of the optical network to overcome failure by pre-reservation of resources or by finding available resources after link failure has occurred Since optical network survivability is narrow area were till there lot of research w.r.t. to survivability to take place. In this area there are very few expertise are available. We will explain the concept of survivability with photonics networks with simple examples so that everyone try to understand and implements the same. It is having lot of scope in upcoming broad way Technologies. Detailed Information about Chapters While the work focused on optical networks, the methods developed are not network specific and can be applied to many types of networks employing a variety of transmission and switching technologies They are: 1. Develop models of optical-broadband access networks and trunk networks based on projected traffic growth. 2. Evaluate the impact of emerging technologies on network architecture design. 3. Develop routing algorithms for optical layered networks. 4. Investigates protection/restoration coordination schemes in the optical layer, i.e. physical layer topology. 5. Investigate the potential for packet switching procedures and burst switching in optical networks, i.e. Logical Layer Topology. The Performance and Evaluation of Optical networks take into consideration the factors like trade-off between routing traffic at the optical layer, creating dedicated light paths in order to maximize the traffic carried and the availability of spare capacity.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. This book A Manual in Chemistry was written as the course developed and then became firmly established. The course, designed as the first year chemistry laboratory courses for scientists, physics, chemistry and life science majors as well as all engineering majors: strove to fulfill a number of requirements. Shiv Nadar University has a tie-in with Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, hence in addition to the AICTE (All India Council for Technical Education), and UGC (University Grants Commission), we have had to keep in mind the standards of ACS (American Chemical Society), a body that governs US college students. The experiments are by no means trivial and bench-top analysis that is often odorous, creates toxic gases and ads to environmental hazards have all given way to more sophisticated instrumental methods of analysis. SNU students graduate from the first year Chemistry laboratories capable of running a UV-ViS spectrometer in addition to an FT-IR spectrometer in addition to other non-spectral methods of analysis. The book contains safety instructions as well as how to segregate and deal with waste. Grading schemes are included so that the novice teacher may start teaching without too much worrying. This book will be an asset to every chemistry department as an excellent foundation for advanced organic syntheses, thermodynamics and chemical kinetics studies and other theoretical work too.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Contents: Preface. 1. Introduction. 2. Strengthening of aluminium alloys. 3. Fundamentals of rolling. 4. Processing fundamentals. 5. Aluminium rolled products. 6. Common encountered defects of aluminium - rolled products and overall remedial actions. References. Subject index. Aluminium possesses high strength, low density and ability to resist corrosion due to the phenomenon of passivation. Structural components made from aluminum and its alloys are vital to the aerospace industry and are important in other areas of transportation and structural materials. In order to improve upon the properties and hence utilization, much effort has been directed towards the development of Aluminium alloys. Aluminum alloys are alloys in which Aluminium (Al) is the predominant metal. The typical alloying elements are copper, magnesium, manganese, silicon, and zinc. Aluminium alloys are widely used in engineering structures and components where light weight or corrosion resistance (marine environment) is required. In the context of current scenario Aluminium alloys exhibits a wide spectrum of applications as finstock for Air conditioning system, pressure-cooker products, foils for packaging, closures for bottle caps and cans, Lithographic coil for printing purpose, shell for holding bullets. The book provides an interesting comprehensive guidance of different products of Aluminium alloys, overview on industrial fabrication methods, critical issues associated with end application and fabrication. The book is divided into six chapters. Chapter 1 and 2 is dedicated to the general introduction of Al based alloys and different mechanism of strengthening. Chapter 3 to 5 is based on the general principle of rolling along with fabrication of Aluminium rolled products and applications. As Aluminium alloys has multidimensional applications and each end products has specific quality requirement during fabrication which is discussed in depth in Chapter 5. Several anomalies during processing of Aluminium rolled products and the possible remedies are described in Chapter 6. References are provided at the end of each chapter. I hope that the book will serve as a useful reference in future for the readers.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Contents: 1. Introduction. 2. Momentum transfer. 3. Heat transfer. 4. Mass transfer. 5. Examples involving simultaneous flow. 6. Heat and regions. Suggested reading. Exercise Problems. Appendices. Index. This book is about mathematical modeling of various transport phenomena processes related to chemical engineering mainly and it is also suitable for other engineering branches. This book provides the fundamentals of formulating the spatio-temporal governing equations such as Continuity equation, Navier-Stokes equation, convection-conduction-heat generation equation and convection-diffusion-reaction equation using a control volume method and appropriate constitutive relationship such as Newton's law of viscosity, Fourier's law of heat conduction and Fick's law of diffusion. Various properties of a fluid/medium such as density, viscosity, thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity figure in the resultant governing equations. Diffusivity concept is explained for a solute-solvent system. It is demonstrated how the non-dimensional numbers such as Reynolds number, Nusselt number, Prandtl Number, Sherwood number, Schmidt number are obtained through non-dimensionalizing the governing equations. It is followed by application of these equations to certain simple processes and obtaining analytical solutions to velocity, temperature and concentration profiles. The problems are treated as initial and boundary value problems (IBVP). Hence there is good amount of applied mathematics involved. Techniques such as separation of variables method and similarity variable transformation are introduced. All the examples are presented with a detailed derivation so that the reader may cross-check the solution with their own method. A few examples are presented that have a coupling among the above three phenomena of momentum, heat and solute (mass) transfer. For example viscous heating during a flow of viscous fluid has a coupling of momentum transfer and heat transfer. This book motivates the reader for self learning by practicing engineers or scientists as well as a reference book for undergraduate and graduate courses.

Scheduled tribes are one of the backward sections and are officially designated as historically disadvantaged people in India. During British Rule they were known as the depressed class and later recognized in the constitution of India. Scheduled tribes are often termed as a community which is isolated from the mainstream population and living the life in their own traditional ways. In Jammu And Kashmir State the status of Scheduled tribes has been given to 08 communities in accordance with the constitution (Jammu and Kashmir) Scheduled tribes order, 1989 and further to 04 communities in the constitution (Scheduled tribes) order (Amendment) Act, 1991. Scheduled tribes have 8.6% of population out of total population in India and 11.9% of the total population of the J&K State (according to 2011 Census). This community is lacking in many spheres of life and facing numerous challenges which results in their low literacy rate, poor economic condition, educational status, Health condition and less representation. According to the census of 2011 this community has 50.6% literacy rate in J&K compared 67.2% overall literacy rate of India. This book aims to provide the current situation of scheduled tribes of Jammu and Kashmir and the major issues and challenges faced by these tribes in daily life. It covers Historical Background of the tribals, Ethnicity, Political Participation, Economic Condition, Educational Status, Women Empowerment, Constitutional Provisions for Tribes by GOI and State Govt., Language of tribes etc. This book contains new areas of research and debate which would be extremely helpful to the Students, Scholars, Teachers and Policy makers.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. This book is all about the membrane separation process, where a brief approach had been followed to explore the maximum of membrane. The reader must understand that the book is divided into two segments as a whole. The first chapter says about the basics of membrane to give the reader an introductory glimpse of membrane to understand and analyze the membrane applications. The subsequent chapters enlighten the applications of membrane at different scale from wastewater process to biomedical applications. Chapter 3 says the membrane application in bioprocess engineering, where the reader is expected to meet the applications of membrane in the production of biobutanol, a complete replacement of gasoline. While the subsequent chapter, i.e. chapter 4 says the biomedical application of membrane. This chapter elaborates the dialysis process and the application of membrane in gas exchange with the extracorporeal membrane oxygenator (ECMO) device. In case with the wastewater process, the book further discusses the application of membrane and the membrane reactor. In the second part, i.e. from chapter 6 onwards a discussion is made on the numerical of membrane applications. The reader can divide the numerical applications discussed here in two parts one, the deterministic and the second one is the stochastic. Chapter 6 discusses the basics of numerical techniques to solve the mathematical model on membrane process. Chapter 7 says the basic mass balance model for the membrane process, while chapter 8 and 9 discuss the stochastic approach to model the membrane process. The chapters elaborate the applicability and the relevance of the stochastic model for the membrane process. I feel the reader the book paves a pathway for the reader to extend their ideas on membrane separation process from its application to its instrumentation.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. The book represents the analysis of existing literature in relation to contextual vulnerabilities affecting childhood under-nutrition and morbidities in India with special reference to one vulnerable area of West Bengal. It is an example for research students to guide themselves how a masters/M. Phil/ PhD dissertation or thesis should look like. It supplies ample evidence on co-vulnerabilities therefore is helpful for students in Development Economics. It is useful for researchers to conduct further research exploring how to reduce patterns of co-vulnerabilities affecting childhood under-nutrition and morbidities in India. It is helpful to design course modules of Development Economics for Academia. Implementing social enterprises will be benefited through detail understanding of contextual vulnerabilities in underdeveloped regions. Policy makers may use it as reference to assess the vulnerability with respect to childhood under-nutrition and morbidities in India and the Sundarbans delta region of West Bengal. Poverty trajectory or the history of its pattern reflects a clear nexus with different risks and vulnerabilities preceding as well as following it. Literatures developed the concepts of poverty and vulnerability both from broader as well as narrower perspectives. Multiple concepts of poverty and ever increasing multidimensional issues gradually developed the concept of vulnerability thinking deeper into poverty in dynamic sense through probabilistic lens. Though a large number of literatures are available on vulnerability to poor health, poverty, climate change, disaster and so on in isolated manner; multidimensional vulnerability calls for attention followed by action. This Book provides a clear understanding about all the issue supported by empirical evidence.

Democracy was largely effected by end of cold war and fall of Berlin wall. This saw the rise of third wave of democratization where transitions in many Asian countries such as Philippines, Taiwan and South Korea preceded the dramatic collapse of communism in eastern Europe and a new democratic system emerged in their places. The book looks into how these waves move to Africa and Middle East as well. Yet the current observation poses a question whether these states are truly democratic or the exercise of the real power still rests with autocrats. This leads us to ask a fundamental question whether democracy can be applied universally or is it particularist so that it can be applied in few countries only. Every county whether Middle East, Africa or China have their own types of democracies which can have own type of democracies. Further the book analyzes not just freedom of expression but also surveillance to see how much of democracy exists in contemporary world. While more and more of freedom of expression is seen as democratization while more and more surveillance is seen as undemocratic even in democratic countries. Thus currently the need is for deliberative or inclusive democracy. Deliberative democracy means that any kind of argumentation which takes place in society can be resolved by dialogue and discussion. Further the need for social capital which id and trust scales in society, indivisible part of democratic process. Social capital is a particular investment to consolidate social justice and trust scales in society for the development of state and society institutions for the development of state and society institutions, for the formation of social attitudes and increase of people abundance. Moreover there is a necessity of redefining effectiveness of political parties into literary representative democratic institutions. Further democracy requires virtualization of public opinion and values. Thus the purpose of this book is to analyze democratization and effect of new phase of globalization in world n a especially third world. Global civil society and new social movements are essential to democratization worldwide. Thus the book seeks all these aspects and more on democracy and globalization.

Subject index Today is the world of technology and it has versatile usage. Students use technology gadgets for various purposes. Investigators tried to use this technology in teaching learning purpose. Investigators through their experience understood that computer science students find it difficult to learn discrete mathematics. The use of e learning is as follows. Students can watch e-modules and lectures; they can even download these lectures for reviewing. Such digitized content is very helpful to the learners and teachers as well. Students can learn in their own convenience (time) whenever they want to learn and wherever they want to learn (place). E learning can cater all types of learners. It can also cater to different levels of learners like slow learners, mediocre learners and advanced learners. Experts can video their lectures and upload it in the suitable website. Different models can be shown through these video lectures thereby making learning experiences rich and effective. Therefore they developed e learning material in discrete mathematics offered in department of mathematics and computer science and implemented the same in odd semester during the academic year 2017. The present study is delimited to universities in Tamil Nadu and only Discrete Mathematics offered in department of Computer Science and Mathematics. Objectives of the Study: 1. To develop e learning in Discrete Mathematics. 2. To study the effectiveness of the developed e learning in terms of students achievement in Mathematics. 3. To study the reaction of the students about the mode of learning discrete mathematics at the end of the experimentation. Population of the Study: All students studying in universities of Tamil Nadu in the department of mathematics and computer science constitute the population. Design of the Study: The present study is an experimental study. The investigators followed pretest posttest control design. Mathematics Achievement Scores was analyzed quantitatively using ANCOVA. Responses given by the students to the Reaction Scale of the experimental group were analyzed quantitatively using Chi Square and percentage. The analysis of ANCOVA showed that there is significance difference between mean marks of experimental group students and mean marks of control group students at.05 level of significance. Findings from the analysis of reaction scale for experimental group indicate that out of forty statements the computed Chi-square values of thirty three statements were found to have statistically significant higher values than the tabulated value and the students were found to have positive reaction and favorable attitude towards the statements carrying such higher values. That is, for more than 50% of the statements they responded positively. Using the result the investigators concluded that e learning is one of the effective methods to learn discrete mathematics.

Children are silent sufferers in Matrimonial Disputes. The four cases, court atmosphere, their parental rights all these events around them create lot many questions in their mind. This effect may vary according to age of child, economic conditions of family, educational status of parents, reason of parental disharmony, period of cohabitation of the parents, presence or absence of sibling and his/ her company, personalities of parents and of child, so on and so forth. I felt that I must hear voice to these voiceless children. During my data collection I had interviewed children and professionals dealing with these cases. This book analyses the judgements in these cases. The book gives information on laws related to children with special focus on issue of custody of Children in Matrimonial Disputes. It gives the information about changes made in laws over the years. The information on Family Courts Act and Procedure is also included as the study was conducted at Family Courts in State of Maharashtra. The Matrimonial disharmony (reasons) and its effects on children are also included in this book. The data collected at Family Courts in State Of Maharashtra is analysed to find out judicial trends. The lacunas in the present laws are identified. The major contribution of this study is in area of giving objective guidelines for the court while deciding welfare of the child in these Disputes. Another important contribution is it also gives guidelines for deciding access or visiting rights of noncustodial parent. Still another inclusion in this book is it provided guidelines for recording child interview in these cases. The book suggests certain amendments in present law. It also provides suggestions in modification in procedures in handling these Disputes. It is not just theoretical information but it is supplemented by the study of these cases as an insider as well as a researcher/ PhD scholar. This book will definitely help not only all professionals working in this area but will also help the parents experiencing conflicting situations. I sincerely hope that amendment in present Acts is done on the basis of the findings of this in-depth study.

Failure of the centralized system of governance and planning to resolve local problems and to promote local level development has led to an upsurge of interest in local governance in recent decades. The major justification for decentralization is derived from the fact that it is said to take Government and administration closer to people, involve people in decision-making process and ensure administrative transparency and accountability of the functionaries to people; effectively mobilize local resources for development; ensure fulfillment of the felt needs and aspirations of the people; and facilitate cost effective planning and implementation of local development projects using local resources and local wisdom. The rationale of decentralization is derived from the failure of national and State level governance in some areas and the ability of decentralized governments to start from where the former has left. However, it must be recognized that the local governance system will not provide answers to local problems and development imperatives unless such a system is responsive to these problems, effective and efficient in its reach. India's development experience with decentralization is the central focus of the book drawing rich insights from empirical verification of the extent to which the decentralization initiatives have succeeded in toning up local governance and development. The book is a tribute to Prof. Abdul Aziz who has contributed extensively to research on decentralization and local government institutions and to training programmes for elected members of Panchayati Raj Institutions. He also had the distinction of serving the first State Finance Commission in Karnataka.
