The Indian Ocean Nodule Field

Geology and Resource Potential

By: Ranadhir Mukhopadhyay,Anil Kumar Ghosh,Sridhar D. Iyer

The Indian Ocean Nodule Field: Geology and Resource Potential, Second Edition, provides a view of the most recent studies along with classical theories starting from the 1960s. New concepts, hypotheses and critical appreciation of the state-of-the-art knowledge on nodule formation and resource management are featured in this new edition. The economy of the Indian Ocean has vast potential and yet it is one of the least studied oceans. Garnering economic advantage out of mineral resources from deep oceans has been a long cherished dream for the mining community. The availability of 5-metal rich polymetallic (manganese) nodules in specific areas of the Indian Ocean has lured researchers to discover more about their processes of formation, growth, distribution and enrichment. - Collates, discusses and succinctly presents voluminous and scattered information from various books and journals for easy understanding and dissemination - Features two new chapters: statistical modeling of the formation, growth, distribution and metal enrichment of nodules; and biogeochemistry of the Central Indian Ocean Basin - Includes an assessment of Indian Ocean nodules, one of the least studied oceans in comparison to samples analyzed from the world's oceans

The Emergence of Indian Nationalism

Competition and Collaboration in the Later Nineteenth Century

By: Anil Seal

In this volume Dr Seal analyses the social roots of the rather confused stirrings towards political organisations of the 1870s and 1880s which brought about the foundation of the Indian National Congress. He is concerned not only with the politicians, viceroys and civil servants but with the social structure of those parts of India where political movements were most prominent at the time. The emphasis of this work is more upon Indian politics than upon British policy: the associations in Bengal and Bombay, the genesis of the Congress and the Muslim breakaway which accentuated the political divisions in India.

Sister Nivedita : The Fighter Extraordinary for India

By: Sukanya Ray,Anil Baran Ray

Sister Nivedita arrived in India in January 1898, in response to the call of her Guru, Swami Vivekananda. After initiating her, Swamiji gave her the name Nivedita, “the dedicated”. Later he brought out the significance of that name in the following lines he penned for her as his blessings: The mother’s heart, the hero’s will, The sweetness of the southern breeze, The sacred charm and strength that dwell On Aryan altars, flaming, free; All these be yours and many more No ancient soul could dream before— Be thou to India’s future son The mistress, servant, friend in one! Since then, Nivedita embraced her adopted country as her very own. She selflessly gave her all to her beloved country and waged a relentless fight for India and the causes dear to India. Of the numerous instances of Nivedita’s Indian struggles in the fields of thought and activity such as religion, education, art, and politics, a few that show 'The Extraordinary Fighter' that Nivedita was are analysed by the authors in this book published by Advaita Ashrama, a publication house of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math.

Fuzzy Machine Learning Algorithms for Remote Sensing Image Classification

By: Anil Kumar,Priyadarshi Upadhyay,A. Senthil Kumar

This book covers the state-of-art image classification methods for discrimination of earth objects from remote sensing satellite data with an emphasis on fuzzy machine learning and deep learning algorithms. Both types of algorithms are described in such details that these can be implemented directly for thematic mapping of multiple-class or specific-class landcover from multispectral optical remote sensing data. These algorithms along with multi-date, multi-sensor remote sensing are capable to monitor specific stage (for e.g., phenology of growing crop) of a particular class also included. With these capabilities fuzzy machine learning algorithms have strong applications in areas like crop insurance, forest fire mapping, stubble burning, post disaster damage mapping etc. It also provides details about the temporal indices database using proposed Class Based Sensor Independent (CBSI) approach supported by practical examples. As well, this book addresses other related algorithms based on distance, kernel based as well as spatial information through Markov Random Field (MRF)/Local convolution methods to handle mixed pixels, non-linearity and noisy pixels. Further, this book covers about techniques for quantiative assessment of soft classified fraction outputs from soft classification and supported by in-house developed tool called sub-pixel multi-spectral image classifier (SMIC). It is aimed at graduate, postgraduate, research scholars and working professionals of different branches such as Geoinformation sciences, Geography, Electrical, Electronics and Computer Sciences etc., working in the fields of earth observation and satellite image processing. Learning algorithms discussed in this book may also be useful in other related fields, for example, in medical imaging. Overall, this book aims to: exclusive focus on using large range of fuzzy classification algorithms for remote sensing images; discuss ANN, CNN, RNN, and hybrid learning classifiers application on remote sensing images; describe sub-pixel multi-spectral image classifier tool (SMIC) to support discussed fuzzy and learning algorithms; explain how to assess soft classified outputs as fraction images using fuzzy error matrix (FERM) and its advance versions with FERM tool, Entropy, Correlation Coefficient, Root Mean Square Error and Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) methods and; combines explanation of the algorithms with case studies and practical applications.

Security Issues for Wireless Sensor Networks

By: Parag Verma,Ankur Dumka,Anuj Bhardwaj,Navneet Kaur,Alaknanda Ashok,Anil Kumar Bisht,Raksh Pal Singh Gangwar

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have attracted high interest over the last few decades in the wireless and mobile computing research community. Applications of WSNs are numerous and growing, including indoor deployment scenarios in the home and office to outdoor deployment in an adversary’s territory in a tactical background. However, due to their distributed nature and deployment in remote areas, these networks are vulnerable to numerous security threats that can adversely affect their performance. This problem is more critical if the network is deployed for some mission-critical applications, such as in a tactical battlefield. Random failure of nodes is also very likely in real-life deployment scenarios. Due to resource constraints in the sensor nodes, a traditional security mechanism with high overhead of computation and communication is not feasible in WSNs. Design and implementation of secure WSNs is, therefore, a particularly challenging task. This book covers a comprehensive discussion on state-of-the-art security technologies for WSNs. It identifies various possible attacks at different layers of the communication protocol stack in a typical WSN and presents their possible countermeasures. A brief discussion on the future direction of research in WSN security is also included.

A Life Of A Physicist In Agricultural Research

A Professional Autobiography

By: ANIL VISHNU MOHARIR

“There are not many books of this nature and kind in India on the history of scientific research coming straight from the participating scientist himself. In that sense the book-‘A Life of a physicist in agricultural research: A Professional autobiography’ by Professor Anil Vishnu Moharir makes a significant contribution in chronicling the work done by him in the Indian context. Efforts put in by Professor Moharir would motivate many young and bright students of physics to foray in the field of biology and agriculture for a satisfying career and opportunities for innovative and original research contribution to their credit”. – Dr. Vijay Digambar Garde, Ph.D. Moscow, Retd. General Manager, Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd., Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India. “The book in fact is a description of the research work done by the author himself in the field of agriculture, an area for which he had no formal education and training. It is interesting to read, how the author not only got his foothold but contributed in a significant way”. – Padmabhushan Prof. Dr. Ram Badan Singh, FNAAS, President, National Academy of Agricultural Sciences, DP Shastri Marg, New Delhi, India. “Your book falls in the category of ‘Professional Biography’. Very few Indians have attempted that. Your effort is therefore welcome. You have traced your research journey and career course so successfully completed in this well-articulated document. You have aptly described the institutional workings, lost opportunities due to myopic policies and wrong perceptions. It is amazing to see that you have moved from the main-stream physics and still contributed at the world class level in the allied but new fields”. – Prof. Vivek N. Patkar, Retd. Professor and a versatile freelance researcher, writer, author and promoter of science education, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. “Thank you very much for the reprint of your paper-‘Moisture Desorption and Absorption Isotherms for Seeds of Some Cultivars of Triticum aestivum and Triticum durum wheat’. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it, and even re-reading it. It does not happen often that one can read papers where the author is working at the cross-fertilizing the fields of plant science and physical chemistry. I do believe that your results will have profound implications in every agricultural discipline (not only in breeding), and for every crop that humans are cultivating for obtaining their foods. Up to now, I was more used to seeing and also measuring classical isotherms with water activity on the X-axis and moisture content on the Y-axis, and have the kinetic data separately presented. I like your presentation of ‘Normalized mass of seeds’ over time. Your concept of hysteresis area is very talkative, very expressive. No doubt that it will prove helpful to speed up and to improve plant breeding process”. – Dr. Luc De Bry, Ph.D., Head of Research Department, M/S Dannone Biscuits, Herental, Belgium

Metallic Nanocrystallites and their Interaction with Microbial Systems

By: Anil K. Suresh

Although interactions between nanoparticles and microorganisms in the environment are unavoidable and commonplace, it is still not clear what potential effects they may have. Metallic Nanocrystallites and their Interface with Microbial Systems not only illustrates how microbes and these particular nanoparticles interact but also it describes the consequences of these interactions. This brief discusses the impact of gold, silver, zinc oxide, and cerium oxide nanoparticles on the growth and viability of both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterium. Moreover, it analyses the relationship between bacterial growth inhibition, reactive oxygen species generation, the regulation of transcriptional stress genomes, and the toxicity of these materials. Finally, it reviews the specific metallic nanomaterials and highlights their modes of synthesis, reactivity at surfaces, and the importance of assay procedures in determining their toxicity levels. Various microscopy techniques used to determine their mechanisms of action are also presented. Metallic Nanocrystallites and their Interface with Microbial Systems will be a valuable source to the scientific and industrial community as well as to students and researchers in microbiology, biotechnology, nanotechnology, toxicology, materials science, biomedical engineering, cell and molecular biology.

Biochemical Parameters and the Nutritional Status of Children

Novel Tools for Assessment

By: Anil Gupta

Biochemical parameters represent better, precise, and objective tools toward the assessment of the nutritional status of children in comparison to anthropometric, clinical, and dietary methods. They constitute laboratory tests to estimate the concentration of circulating nutrients in body fluids. Biochemical parameters are suggestive of acute or subclinical conditions when other methods of nutritional assessment fail to interpret the condition. These parameters exhibit substantial variability in their reproducibility. Moreover, these parameters are novel tools in the hands of clinicians for screening of the nutritional status of children. Key Features Covers the latest biochemical parameters for nutritional assessment Updated content is useful for clinicians, nutritionists, and general practitioners A unique and concise treatise covering descriptive and research-based work on a crucial health issue of worldwide prevalence About the Author Anil Gupta, PhD, is the Dean of Research at Desh Bhagat University and Professor and Head, Department of Physiology and Biochemistry at Desh Bhagat Dental College and Hospital, Mandi Gobindgarh, Punjab, India.
