Modern society depends heavily upon a host of systems of varying complexity to perform the services required. The importance of reliability assumes new dimensions, primarily because of the higher cost of these highly complex machines required by mankind and the implication of their failure. This is why all industrial organizations wish to equip their scientists, engineers, managers and administrators with a knowledge of reliability concepts and applications. Based on the author's 20 years experience as reliability educator, researcher and consultant, Reliability Engineering introduces the reader systematically to reliability evaluation, prediction, allocation and optimization. It also covers further topics, such as maintainability and availability, software reliability, economics of reliability, reliability management, reliability testing, etc. A reliability study of some typical systems has been included to introduce the reader to the practical aspects. The book is intended for graduate students of engineering schools and also professional engineers, managers and reliability administrators as it has a wide coverage of reliability concepts.

Biology is the study of life and living organisms. Since it embraces all living things, it is perhaps the most fascinating branch of science. The new inventions and discoveries have helped greatly in continuously testing and searching the truth and unfolding the mysteries of life whether plants, animals or microscopic life. During the past some years, biology has shifted its focus from the structure of living organisms to looking more at how they work and function. These advances in biological knowledge raise new issues. The present book will help you to understand and contribute to the biological revolution which is taking place in our lives. This book has been revised and upgraded in accordance with the latest syllabus of Biology prescribed by the Council for Indian School Certificate Examinations, New Delhi. The salient features of the book : * Written in a very simple, easy-to-understand language, and in a pointwise sequential manner. * The prescribed syllabus has been strictly followed with special emphasis on easy explanation of concepts with key facts. * The text is complemented with well-illustrated, multi-coloured, properly-labelled diagrams which inspire the students to draw themselves. * Text and illustrations contribute to the basic understanding and appreciation of the field of biology. Different flow charts and tables make the concepts easy to grasp and the chapters informative. * Some extra useful information has been provided to enhance the students' knowledge related to the chapter. * Important points of each chapter including important biological terms have been given at the end of each chapter. * Comprehensive in-text exercises have been given to check the progress of the students and their retention capacity. * At the end of each chapter, an exercise has been given which consists of a variety of questions including objective type, very short answer type, short answer type, long answer type and structured questions. * Exercises also include questions from past years' Board Examination Papers. * Quick revision web-charts Mind Maps containing the gist of each chapter has been given at the end of each chapter. * The ICSE Specimen Question Paper (Solved) has been given. I hope this book will prove very useful to the students and teachers. Suggestions and constructive criticism for the further improvement of the book would be gratefully acknowledged and incorporated in subsequent editions. - Author
A boy born in a non-descript Himachal Pradesh village senses mystical revelations while pursuing his studies and develops a self-belief so strong that he tops in all exams, school classes as well as State education board exam classes. He is nominated by the State for an Engineering Degree course in 1982 at Indore, Madhya Pradesh with a dream to serve in IES or IAS after completing his degree. But some trivial medical reasons block the path to its realization. Consequently, he decides to pursue his dream in Industry in the field of Telecom & IT, and serves in Govt. and Private Sector Organizations, within India and abroad, for nearly 32 years, before he bids adieu to this sector. He narrates his personal experiences while perfecting the nuances of Indian Corporate Sector and explains the difficulties in upholding his traits of truthfulness, integrity and virtuousness, while achieving success in the feisty boardrooms of an unforgiving Indian Corporate World.
This text is a classic in Indian political literature as the original author belongs to the Idealist school of great political thinkers such as T H Green and Bosanquet. It is a comprehensive treatise on basic structure of established political theories, be it Bosanquet's idealistic theory of the State to liberal and anti-idealist view, as expressed by L T Hobhouse, to the Marxian theory of the State. The textbook follows an ideological approach where it rejects the attitude of those behaviouralists who place undue emphasis on methods, techniques and skills rather than on first principles and value judgements. it is developed for the undergraduate students of Political Science (Pass and honours courses). Aspirants of various competitive examinations such as Civil Services Examination and state public service commission examinations will also find the book extremely useful.
This book will bring together all recent and updated information on RCT in pulses and pulse based cropping system which will be of immense use to researchers, extension personnel, students, research scholars across the nation.
Gynecologic and obstetric surgery is a craft that requires sound knowledge and skills.
