Kanchipuram was one of the important and major urban centers in the lower Palar river in south India during the Early Historical period. Now it is a satellite center of Metro Chennai, however, still, the importance of the town has appeared in the form of art and architecture, pilgrimage, education and industries. The archaeological explorations followed by excavations were carried out by the Department of Sanskrit and Indian Culture, Sri Chandrasekharendra Saraswathi Viswa Maha Vidyalaya (SCSVMV Deemed to be University), Enathur, Kanchipuram on the northern part of Tamil Nadu under the direction of Prof. S. Rama Krishna Pisipaty, author of the present volume, along with his research scholars from 2000 onwards. This effort revealed that the region to be very prolific and has high potential from an archaeological point of view. The excavator exposed many significant localities in and around the Kanchipuram of different natures such as Stone Age, Early Iron Age Megalithic burials as well as habitations along with iron workshops and also Early Historic period structures, both secular and religious, besides collecting a rich crop of antiquities. The explorations and excavations brought to light that the early human occupation in the lower Palar right from the Early Stone Age and a continuation in human activities have appeared even till now in the region. By the end of the last millennium BCE, the concentration of settlements appeared towards the rivers Vegavati and Palar in the region. Therefore, the entire cultural appendage has been divided into three volumes with different headings, depending upon the nature of assemblage viz. 1. Stone Age 2. Early Iron Age 3. Early Historical period. The present volume no 1 deals with the evidence related to the Early Historical period activities (Late Sangam, pre or early Pallava and during Pallava i.m. a few centuries before starting the present era up to Pallava) in and around the Kanchipuram region, from Sriperambattur taluk on northeastern up to present Palar river bed on the southwestern direction. The richest crop of Inscriptions and Art & Architecture of the Kanchipuram region are not discussed in the monograph which has already been studied and published by many scholars. The present volume is a brief survey of the results of different field seasons explorations and excavations so as to enable the readers to have a bird’s-eye view of the culture, technologies and other aspects relating to the Early Historical period to realize the importance of the region in its proper resemblance.

The main concept of this book is to transform the limited consciousness to an unlimited, unconditioned state by using a simple technique in meditation: to search the mind with the mind. By doing this, you can understand who you are: that you are pure consciousness pervading everywhere, that is, God. The idea of understanding that you are both the body and the mind is eliminated, thereby ending the cycle of suffering, incarnation after incarnation. The illusory nature of the world is eliminated, and one enters into reality. Understanding this reality is the purpose of life. These techniques are furnished in detail, step by step in this book.
Placenta plays a very significant role in the development of secretory and regulatory functions for the maintenance of pregnancy and in the nutrition of the embryo. It shares many functions of the heart, lung, liver, endocrines, and other organs. In Placental Pharmacology, fourteen expert authors discuss how placenta and its component parts can be used effectively in drug development research and in the study of transfer mechanisms across membranes. This reference begins by describing the use of modern biophysical methods to study placental function and prospects for their application in pharmacological research. The next three chapters deal with placental hemodynamics, use of placental tissues and cells in pharmacological assays, and placental transfer of drugs used in pregnancy. Three more chapters contain up-to-date information on molecular biological aspects of placenta currently receiving lots of attention - phospholipase A2 isozymes, imprinted genes and embryogenesis, and placental growth factors. The final chapter describes the clinically relevant topics of placental metabolism and toxicity of homocysteine in placenta. Easy to understand, thorough, and complete, Placental Pharmacology is the perfect resource for scientists interested in placenta and its uses in drug development and testing.
Compressed sensing or compressive sensing is a new concept in signal processing where one measures a small number of non-adaptive linear combinations of the signal. These measurements are usually much smaller than the number of samples that define the signal. From these small numbers of measurements, the signal is then reconstructed by non-linear procedure. Compressed sensing has recently emerged as a powerful tool for efficiently processing data in non-traditional ways. In this book, we highlight some of the key mathematical insights underlying sparse representation and compressed sensing and illustrate the role of these theories in classical vision, imaging and biometrics problems.
