The Expedition

By: Chris Babu

Drayden and his friends thought nothing could be harder than the Initiation. Little did they know it had only been a warmup for the challenge that lay ahead. With New America’s situation dire, Drayden and the pledges venture into the unexplored world beyond the walls, escorted by a team of elite Guardians. The group seeks to contact another civilization in what remains of Boston, but Drayden has secret goals of his own. Dangers abound in the outside world, including Aeru, the deadly superbug that wiped out humanity. While they battle the elements of a desolate landscape, a power struggle emerges within their ranks. The Guardians seem to be carrying out a covert mission themselves, and the quest turns everything they thought they knew about New America upside down.

The Insurrection

By: Chris Babu

Having survived the Initiation and expedition, one battle remains: the fight for the heart and soul of New America. Drayden and his friends, enlisting the help of Professor Worth, must find a way back to New America before the Guardians imperil their return. But for these teens, their problems are only beginning. The Bureau, which never expected them to survive the expedition, will do everything in their power to prevent New America’s darkest secrets from getting out. Drayden’s only hope is the insurrection led by ally Kim Craig. The David versus Goliath battle between good and evil, between truth and lies, will push Drayden to his breaking point and require bravery, self-acceptance, and above all, belief in himself. Backed by the will of the citizens, he’ll need to engineer an ingenious strategy to defeat the all-powerful authoritarians. The question is, will it be enough?

Neurobiology of Arachnids

Neurobiology of Arachnids

By: F.G. Barth

Arachnids rarely come to mind when one discusses arthropod neurobiology. In fact much more is now known and written about the nervous systems of insects and crustaceans. Several arguments have led us to conclude, however, that the time has come to document impor tant aspects of the neurobiology of spiders, scorpions, and their kin, as well. Studies of arachnid neurobiology have made considerable progress since the last comprehensive treatment by Bullock and Horridge in their monumental monograph on invertebrate nervous systems pub lished in 1965. This is especially true for research performed in the last decade. Several problems related to the structure and function of arachnid nervous and sensory systems have now been studied in con siderable depth but have so far not been given adequate space under one cover. A particular incentive to produce this book has been the impor tance attributed to comparative approaches in neurobiology. Neglect ing a large taxonomic group such as the arachnids - which comprises some 60,000 species living a wide range of different lives - would mean ignoring an enormous potential source of knowledge. In writing the chapters of this book we have striven to present some of the unique features of the arachnids. But the result of our efforts is not just meant to contribute to an understanding of the particularities of the arach nids.

Statistical Challenges in Astronomy

By: Eric D. Feigelson,Jogesh Babu

Digital sky surveys, high-precision astrometry from satellite data, deep-space data from orbiting telescopes, and the like have all increased the quantity and quality of astronomical data by orders of magnitude per year for several years. Making sense of this wealth of data requires sophisticated statistical techniques. Fortunately, statistical methodologies have similarly made great strides in recent years. Powerful synergies thus emerge when astronomers and statisticians join in examining astrostatistical problems and approaches. The book begins with an historical overview and tutorial articles on basic cosmology for statisticians and the principles of Bayesian analysis for astronomers. As in earlier volumes in this series, research contributions discussing topics in one field are joined with commentary from scholars in the other. Thus, for example, an overview of Bayesian methods for Poissonian data is joined by discussions of planning astronomical observations with optimal efficiency and nested models to deal with instrumental effects. The principal theme for the volume is the statistical methods needed to model fundamental characteristics of the early universe on its largest scales.

Dna Logic Design: Computing With Dna

By: Hafiz Md Hasan Babu

A DNA computer is a collection of specially selected DNA strands, which when encoded into specific combinations are then subjected to bio-molecular manipulation in order to solve computational problems. Rather than storing information in the 1s and 0s of the binary number system, it is now stored in the form of the bases adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C) and guanine (G). These bases can be arranged into short sequences of DNA that are then artificially synthesised for use as algorithmic inputs. The remarkable advantages of DNA computing, including dense data storage, massively parallel computation, and extraordinary energy efficiency, underscore its potential to revolutionize conventional computing. This innovative approach aligns with a broader trend of harnessing natural processes as computational models.DNA Logic Design: Computing with DNA not only unravels the theoretical intricacies but also navigates the practical challenges, offering a comprehensive exploration of a groundbreaking field at the intersection of biology and computer science. The book starts with the basics of DNA computing, and then describes the fundamental operations of DNA computing. Various kinds of logical designs are then translated into the DNA computing context: arithmetic circuits, combinational circuits, sequential circuits, memory devices, programmable logic devices, and nano processors. Heat and speed calculation techniques round off the book.

Mobility and Globalization in the Aftermath of COVID-19

Emerging New Geographies in a Locked World

By: Maximiliano E. Korstanje,Babu George

This book argues that COVID-19 revives a much deeper climate of terror which was instilled by terrorism and the War on Terror originally declared by Bush's administration in 2001. It discusses critically not only the consequences of COVID-19 on our daily lives but also “the end of hospitality”, at least as we know it. Since COVID-19 started spreading across the globe, it affected not only the tourism industry but also ground global trade to a halt. Governments adopted restrictive measures to stop the spread of the virus, including the closure of borders, and airspace, the introduction of strict lockdowns and social distancing, much of which led to large-scale cancellations of international and domestic flights. This book explores how global tourists, who were largely considered ambassadors of democratic and prosperous societies in the pre-pandemic days, have suddenly become undesired guests.

Competitiveness of Global Agriculture

Competitiveness of Global Agriculture

Policy Lessons for Food Security

By: Attila Jambor,Suresh Babu

The book combines food security and agricultural competitiveness issues and treat them together. It starts with definitions and evolution of both concepts, followed by reviews on global and regional food security challenges. The book identifies global agricultural trade and competitiveness patterns and uses it as a basis for analysing global food security. Further, the book also identifies countries/regions/products groups and develops a typology of agricultural competitiveness, giving policy lessons and recommendations on how to increase national/regional/global agricultural competitiveness to achieve sustainable food security goals. The motivation behind writing such a book are numerous. First, as researchers interested in both food security and agricultural competitiveness issues, we have always found a gap in the scientific literature in treating the two notions together. Second, as lecturers of various agricultural policy and food security related courses, we have many times been faced with questions related to the competitive positions of different countries and the factors lying behind these positions. Third, as economic advisors, we have been faced with the need to provide clear policy recommendations and lessons on how increase competitiveness and associated food security many times. Such a need is mainly coming from developing country policy and decision makers.We think the book is unique in many ways. First, it provides a consistent analysis of global agricultural trade patterns over 25 years. Second, it analyzes and synthetizes the definitions, concepts and measurement methods of competitiveness, covering a major gap in the current literature. Third, it establishes a link between the analysis of global agricultural competitiveness and food security, which is also an understudied area. Finally, the book provides policy lessons to increase a country’s agricultural competitiveness and food security by identifying its determinants.

Agricultural extension: Global status and performance in selected countries: Synopsis

By: Davis, Kristin E., ed.,Babu, Suresh Chandra, ed.,Ragasa, Catherine, ed.

Agricultural transformation and development are critical to the livelihoods of more than a billion small-scale farmers and other rural people in developing countries. Extension and advisory services play an important role in such transformation and can assist farmers with advice and information, brokering and facilitating innovations and relationships, and dealing with risks and disasters. Agricultural Extension: Global Status and Performance in Selected Countries provides a global overview of agricultural extension and advisory services, assesses and compares extension systems at the national and regional levels, examines the performance of extension approaches in a selected set of country cases, and shares lessons and policy insights. Drawing on both primary and secondary data, the book contributes to the literature on extension by applying a common and comprehensive framework — the “best-fit” approach — to assessments of extension systems, which allows for comparison across cases and geographies. Insights from the research support reforms — in governance, capacity, management, and advisory methods — to improve outcomes, enhance financial sustainability, and achieve greater scale. Agricultural Extension should be a valuable resource for policymakers, extension practitioners, and others concerned with agricultural development.

Astrostatistics

By: Gutti Jogesh Babu,E.D. Feigelson

Modern astronomers encounter a vast range of challenging statistical problems, yet few are familiar with the wealth of techniques developed by statisticians. Conversely, few statisticians deal with the compelling problems confronted in astronomy. Astrostatistics bridges this gap. Authored by a statistician-astronomer team, it provides professionals and advanced students in both fields with exposure to issues of mutual interest. In the first half of the book the authors introduce statisticians to stellar, galactic, and cosmological astronomy and discuss the complex character of astronomical data. For astronomers, they introduce the statistical principles of nonparametrics, multivariate analysis, time series analysis, density estimation, and resampling methods. The second half of the book is organized by statistical topic. Each chapter contains examples of problems encountered astronomical research and highlights methodological issues. The final chapter explores some controversial issues in astronomy that have a strong statistical component. The authors provide an extensive bibliography and references to software for implementing statistical methods. The "marriage" of astronomy and statistics is a natural one and benefits both disciplines. Astronomers need the tools and methods of statistics to interpret the vast amount of data they generate, and the issues related to astronomical data pose intriguing challenges for statisticians. Astrostatistics paves the way to improved statistical analysis of astronomical data and provides a common ground for future collaboration between the two fields.

Monitoring and evaluation for capacity strengthening

By: Babu, Suresh Chandra

Capacity challenges thwart economic growth and development. Efforts to strengthen capacity can benefit from past lessons and documented best practices. This note uses IFPRI’s capacity-strengthening activities as an example to provide an overview of best practices for one of the key elements of capacity development: monitoring and evaluation (M&E). The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) defines capacity strengthening as the “process through which individuals, organizations, and societies obtain, strengthen, and maintain capabilities to set and achieve their own development objectives over time.”1 Using the UNDP definition, this note explains the concepts of monitoring and evaluation and outlines how to conduct M&E of capacity-strengthening activities, including how to assess inputs, outputs, outcomes, and impact at the individual, institutional, and system levels.

Rubinder Hood Prince of Chors

By: Billy Babu

The book is a sarcastic play on life and doesnt just come across as favouring one particular genre, including love, pathos, and tragedy, with other elements that make it a great emotional adventure. The plot is taken from a much loved mediaeval story and is a tale of righteousness over evil, triumph over adversity and, as always, the reader is left wondering whether the boy will get the girl. The beautiful illustrations in this book (East meeting the West) round out the storyline to make for a memorable and most entertaining reading experience.

MACHINE LEARNING IN HEALTH CARE DIAGNOSIS AND PROGNOSIS

By: Bhargavi Posinasetty,Dr. Aadam Quraishi MD,Dr. Vikas Malgotra,Mr. Dayakar Babu Kancherla

In the discipline of healthcare informatics, the study of how data relevant to healthcare may be obtained, transmitted, processed, stored, and retrieved is known as the study of how data can be gathered, transferred, processed, stored, and retrieved. In this area of study, early sickness prevention, early illness detection, early illness diagnosis, and early illness therapy are all crucial components. The only kinds of data that are regarded credible in the field of healthcare informatics are those that pertain to diseases, patient histories, and the computer operations that are necessary in order to analyze this data. Over the course of the past two decades, conventional medical practices across the United States have made major investments in cutting-edge technical and computational infrastructure in order to enhance their capacity to provide assistance to academics, medical professionals, and patients. There has been a significant investment of resources made in order to improve the level of medical care that may be offered by utilizing these various. The motivation for all of these many programs was the overarching goal of providing patients with access to healthcare that is not only affordably priced and of high quality, but also totally and entirely free of any and all fear. As a direct result of these efforts, the benefits and relevance of employing computational tools to aid with referrals and prescriptions, to set up and maintain electronic health records (EHR), and to make technical improvements in digital medical imaging have been clearer. This is a direct result of the fact that the advantages of applying computational tools have become more obvious. Electronic health records (EHR) are something that can be set up and managed with the assistance of these technologies. It has been demonstrated that computerized physician order entry, more frequently referred to as CPOE, may be able to increase the quality of care that is delivered to patients while

Acts of the Apostles

An Exegetical and Contextual Commentary

By: Babu Immanuel

The India Commentary on the New Testament (ICNT) series aims to give a well-informed exposition of the meaning of the text and relevant reflections in everyday language from a contemporary Indian context. The intended audience is the theological seminary or bible college, both students and faculty. The commentaries are also ideal for pastors and lay people with an interest in theology or responsibilities for preaching in the local congregation.The commentaries are culturally rooted, and the various applications relating to culture, society, and religious life will help those involved in cross-cultural evangelism and mission work. There is no direct equivalent to the ICNT, and hence this is the first Indian commentary serving India, the entire subcontinent--India, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka--and the world.The ICNT is an affordable evangelical commentary series written by respected academics in everyday language, providing a well-informed meaning of the New Testament and practical reflections for modern India.
