Hindi Nationalism (tracks for the Times)

By: Alok Rai

This tract looks at the politics of language in India through a study of the history of one language Hindi. It traces the tragic metamorphosis of this language over the last century, from a creative, dynamic, popular language to a dead, Sanskritised, dePersianised language manufactured by a self-serving upper caste North Indian elite, nurturing hegemonic ambitions. From being a symbol of collective imagination it became a signifier of narrow sectarianism and regional chauvinism. The tract shows how this trans- formation of the language was tied up with the politics of communalism and regionalism.

Leadership for Colonels and Business Managers

Jump-start your team and yourself

By: Colonel Alok Asthana

You can learn to lead as well as to manage. • Would you much rather be loved or respected? • Can you lead and delegate as per the capabilities of the follower? • Do you decide by intuition or by using Game Theory techniques? • Do you know that too much synergy, consensus and motivational gimmicks are harmful? Col Alok Asthana shares observations from a distinguished, 42-year career in military command, teaching, industry and consultancy. How many consultants and authors you know can boast of such wide hands-on experience as well as academic knowledge? Backed by researches in organizational behavior and group dynamics, these ‘How to’, ‘Why’ and ‘Why not’ hacks will change your leadership and management style forever. The book covers essential knowledge and techniques for the one-to-one processes between the leader and the team, the one-to-many processes of the group, organisation development, leader behavior, better thinking & decision making and finally, topics of specific interest to the combat leader. Not bromides and clichés, but specific guidance essential for teams in military and business alike, usually not made available to them. It has a real world touch and demolishes many myths. Each chapter is a stand-alone; complete and useful in itself. Numerous anecdotes, analogies and quotes make the book a racy and lively read. The book is a practitioner’s delight. Grab it and race ahead of the pack. Follow these instructions and the men will literally die for you, even in business organisations.

A Handbook of Aortoarteritis and Ruptured Sinus of Valsalva

By: Alok Ranjan

A Handbook of Aortoarteritis and Ruptured Sinus of Valsalva contains a detailed description of these diseases. Aortoarteritis is a relatively common disease in Indian subcontinent. It is a common cause of dilated cardiomyopathy in this region. It has various presentations due to stenotic involvement of aorta and its branches. Ruptured sinus of Valsalva although rare but has catastrophic clinical presentation. These diseases require early recognition and diagnosis to optimize management of patients. Current text books lack a detailed description of these diseases. Special efforts have been made by the author to give a thorough overview of these diseases. Clinical features (Symptoms and signs), investigations, natural history, prognosis as well as management have been dealt in details. Clinical features are probably the forgotten art in the newer text books. However, the author has taken a special interest to include a detailed description of clinical features. The treatment section includes description about the various interventions (catheter based as well as surgical). The author has published a series of handbooks on Rheumatic fever and Valvular heart diseases from AuthorHouse. Like his previous books, this book also has extensive description of all aspects of the disease. All in all, the book promises to be a great reference book for Aortoarteritis and Ruptured sinus of Valsalva and is worth having it on shelf for easy reading. The point wise and concise writing has made this book useful for students especially exam going students.

Crazy Woman & Other Short Stories

By: Dr. Sitesh Alok

The stories presented in this collection were written originally in Hindi, way back 20-25 years ago, and published in major Hindi journals of those times - Dharmyug, Saptahik Hindustan, Sarika, Kadambini et al. They were liked by the readers and translated into several Indian languages, too, besides being included in some of the selected works of the year. Later they were picked up by some friends for translation into English and, subsequently, found place in some major English literary journals - Indian Literature, The Statesman, National Herald, The Heritage and the like. Free from all tall talk, most of these short stories tell the tales of joys and merriments, torments and trepidations and the dreams and realities of common people.

Parallel Architectures and Parallel Algorithms for Integrated Vision Systems

By: Alok N. Choudary,J.H. Patel

Computer vision is one of the most complex and computationally intensive problem. Like any other computationally intensive problems, parallel pro cessing has been suggested as an approach to solving the problems in com puter vision. Computer vision employs algorithms from a wide range of areas such as image and signal processing, advanced mathematics, graph theory, databases and artificial intelligence. Hence, not only are the comput ing requirements for solving vision problems tremendous but they also demand computers that are efficient to solve problems exhibiting vastly dif ferent characteristics. With recent advances in VLSI design technology, Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) massively parallel computers have been proposed and built. However, such architectures have been shown to be useful for solving a very limited subset of the problems in vision. Specifically, algorithms from low level vision that involve computations closely mimicking the architec ture and require simple control and computations are suitable for massively parallel SIMD computers. An Integrated Vision System (IVS) involves com putations from low to high level vision to be executed in a systematic fashion and repeatedly. The interaction between computations and information dependent nature of the computations suggests that architectural require ments for computer vision systems can not be satisfied by massively parallel SIMD computers.

Nutraceutical Fatty Acids from Oleaginous Microalgae

A Human Health Perspective

By: Alok Kumar Patel,Leonidas Matsakas

Over the past several years, extensive research has been done on the microbial production of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). Regardless, research on the oleaginous microalgae used as feedstock for biofuels production and the overall story about the production of nutraceutical fatty acids from oleaginous microalgae has been very limited. This volume provides an exclusive insight on the production of nutraceutical fatty acids from oleaginous microalgae and their role on human health. Some saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids can be synthesized by humans, whereas long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) such as α-linolenic acid and linoleic acid cannot and are deemed essential. The products of these acids, such as DHA, which is important for early visual and neurological development, are extremely important to human health. Replacing SFAs with omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in the diet reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases and prevent Alzheimer's, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia, among other benefits. The ever-rising global demand for omega-3 & 6 PUFAs, however, cannot be met solely by fish oil, due to diminishing fish stocks and pollution of marine ecosystems, which has led to increased interest in alternative sustainable sources. Vegetable oils from genetically engineered plant oilseeds and microorganisms are two potential alternatives to fish oil, even though omega-3 PUFAs are highest in the latter. Although transgenic plants present numerous advantages, their production is dependent on seasonal and climatic conditions and the availability of arable land. Moreover, there are public concerns regarding the cultivation of transgenic crops in open ecosystems. These, together with regulatory issues restrict the large-scale production of genetically modified crops. Microorganisms, however, are known natural producers of microbial oils similar to those obtained from plants and animals and a possible source of nutritionally important omega-3 & 6 PUFAs. This groundbreaking volume presents invaluable new research on essential fatty acids, their production from various oleaginous microorganisms, biochemical and metabolic engineering to improve PUFAs content in oil, extraction and purification of omega 3 fatty acids, and the current market scenario. Whether a veteran engineer or scientist using it as a reference or a professor using it as a textbook, this outstanding new volume is a must-have for any engineer or scientist working in food science.

Power, Press and Politics

Half a Century of Journalism and Politics

By: Alok Mehta

How was god-man Chandraswami exposed despite the tantric guru's close association with prominent leaders and media barons? How did Alok Mehta expose the Fodder Scam in 1990 that eventually led to the arrest of Lalu Prasad Yadav? How did editors and investigative correspondents reveal murky arms deals, such as the Bofors scandal? Is 'paid news' the new normal in Indian media? How did this game of corruption start? What were the political pressures on senior editors like Vinod Mehta and Kuldip Nayar that led to their resignation? Power, Press and Politics is a groundbreaking, insider account of the workings of the Indian media-both print and electronic, and English, Hindi and regional publications-from acclaimed journalist and Padma Shri awardee Alok Mehta. Deriving from his experience spanning across 50 years, Mehta brings to life these incidents and cases as he had been right in the eye of these storms. Starting his career from a news agency and a Hindi daily, Mehta had worked with leading media houses, such as The Times of India, Hindustan Times, Outlook Group, Dainik Bhaskar and Naidunia, sharing a close association with some of the finest editors and journalists of the country. Citing various landmark cases and judgements, Mehta throws light on the delicate balance between the media and judiciary, both of which are crucial to the health of our democracy. Having helmed the Editors Guild of India, he has had the privileged access to various significant reports, which have been included in this splendidly researched work. A powerful commentary on the Indian media, this is a must-read for media students, institutions and anyone who wishes to understand the working and challenges of the media.

The Secret You

The 8 Known Secret Codes to Realize Your Worthy Ideal

By: Alok Kumar

In this book, Alok will take you to a self-decoding journey where you will not only understand who you are and what you want but also start progressively realizing them with simple but impactful actions. This book is neither a self-help book nor a book of great ideas to get what you want. This book is a ticket to your long journey towards a successful (I will call it meaningful) life. As the famed Earl Nightingale once said, “Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal, I am calling this book the pathway to that progressive realization.” Alok lives by the philosophy that the world is full of good people, and they will come to help you if you dream and dare to ask. This book will help in opening you up for that big mind change. “This is not just a self-help book but a Talking Book towards your goals. I like the simplicity of the language used by Alok.” -Anuja Deshpande (IIM, Lucknow)

Smart Cities and the Poor

Towards an Agenda for Inclusive Urbanization in India

By: Alok Kumar Mishra

Developing countries worldwide have been embarking on ‘smart cities’ programmes using new technology solutions to improve public services. Faced with severe problems of digital divide, poverty, unemployment, inequality, and financial and social exclusion, these cities have to negotiate hard in order to reach their goals. This book examines urban governance, digital divide, poverty, unemployment, and financial and social exclusion and presents a theoretical perspective on inclusive cities, urbanization, migration, slums,and affordable housing. The book aims at formulating and implementing an agenda for inclusive, equitable, and sustainable urban development in tune with the UN-SDGs, the New Urban Agenda of Habitat III, and India’s new national urban missions. It probes into the scope of adopting inclusionary urban planning, zoning, and housing, financing inclusive city development, and poverty alleviation through municipal finance reforms using findings and lessons from detailed field studies of Indian cities. It also suggests an agenda for slum-free and poverty-free cities in an attempt to make these cities more people-focused, humane, and inclusionary. This book will be of interest to scholars and researchers of political science, policy studies, public administration, urban studies, urban planning and management, urban sociology, and geography, besides being of interest to policy researchers, community workers, grass roots researchers, policymakers, and sociologists.

Coffee With A Coffin

Permanent Lessons From The Impermanence Of Life

By: Alok Ranjan

An invaluable resource and essential reading for ‘anyone who is alive’! There is only one certainty in life—Death. No one is immune from it. And yet we still find it difficult to talk about it. It remains a taboo subject and when faced with it, people turn to things they believe will shield them from it. But avoiding talking about death doesn’t prevent it from happening and only perpetuates our fears and false assumptions surrounding it. Coffee with a Coffin aims to change this narrative and the way we view death and, in turn, life. Through edifying anecdotes and real-life stories, the author gives readers an eye-opening perspective on death and highlights the immense capabilities of man once he accepts his mortality. The book combines inspiration, humour, and intelligence to showcase the significance of acknowledging our impermanence to lead a more meaningful/fruitful and fulfilling life. In a nutshell, Coffee with a Coffin is an invitation to redefine your life by discovering what it truly means to be alive!

Physics and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior

Crust, Mantle and Core

By: Alok Krishna Gupta

The Indian National Science Academy was established in January 1935 with the objective of promoting science in India and harnessing scientific knowledge for the cause of humanity and national welfare. In 1968 it was designated as the adhering organisation in India to the International Council for Scientific Union (ICSU) on behalf of the Government of India. Over the years, the Academy has published a number of journals, volumes, biographical memoirs, etc. The year 2009–2010 will be specially celebrated to mark the Platinum Jubilee of the Academy. Many programmes are planned in different centres in India on this occasion. In addition, the Academy has decided to publish a number of special volumes on different s- jects ranging from earth sciences to life sciences. This volume is on Physics and Chemistry of the Earth’s Interior. One of the main objectives of geophysicists is to establish the internal structure of the earth as revealed by seismic tomography. It is also their primary goal to correlate geophy- cal data to reveal thermal and chemical state of the crust, mantle and core of the earth. In - der to interpret seismic velocities and associated density and elastic properties in terms of mineralogical and petrological models of the earth’s interior, thermodynamic and hi- pressure temperature data from mineral physics are essential. With the advent of different types of multi-anvil and laser-heated diamond anvil equipment, it is now possible to simulate conditions prevalent even in the lower mantle and core of the earth.

Rare Isotope Beams

Concepts and Techniques

By: Alok Chakrabarti,Vaishali Naik,Siddhartha Dechoudhury

Rare Isotope Beams (RIBs) are ion beams of exotic radioactive nuclei. The study of these nuclei is key to understanding the limits of nuclear existence, nucleo-synthesis in such violent stellar sites as supernovae and merging neutron stars, and the fundamental symmetries of nature. These nuclei also provide a unique probe to study condensed matter and many of them are potentially new radioisotopes for more effective medical diagnostics and therapy. Rare Isotope Beams: Concepts and Techniques gives an up-to-date overview of all these aspects of RIB science in a single volume containing the scientific motivation, production techniques, experimental techniques for studying exotic nuclei, methods used in condensed matter research, and medical applications. The emphasis throughout is on concepts to facilitate understanding of the essence of each topic in this diverse and cross-disciplinary field involving nuclear physics, astrophysics, and particle accelerators. A brief description of major RIB facilities is also presented. Exotic nuclei are difficult to produce in enough numbers and their production involves different nuclear reaction routes and a wide range of advanced technologies, which are presented in a comprehensive manner. Experimental techniques used to study exotic nuclei are provided with examples highlighting the intricate nature of such experiments. Another unique feature is the open-ended nature of the discussions, bringing out the future challenges and possibilities in this evolving field. The book offers an excellent overview of concepts and techniques involved in RIB science for new researchers entering the field as well as professionals.
