Molecular Imaging

Radiopharmaceuticals for PET and SPECT

By: Shankar Vallabhajosula

Radioisotope-based molecular imaging probes provide unprecedented insight into biochemistry and function involved in both normal and disease states of living systems, with unbiased in vivo measurement of regional radiotracer activities offering very high specificity and sensitivity. No other molecular imaging technology including functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can provide such high sensitivity and specificity at a tracer level. The applications of this technology can be very broad ranging from drug development, pharmacokinetics, clinical investigations, and finally to routine diagnostics in radiology. The design and the development of radiopharmaceuticals for molecular imaging studies using PET/MicroPET or SPECT/MicroSPECT are a unique challenge. This book is intended for a broad audience and written with the main purpose of educating the reader on various aspects including potential clinical utility, limitations of drug development, and regulatory compliance and approvals.

Math and Architectures of Deep Learning

By: Krishnendu Chaudhury

Math and Architectures of Deep Learning bridges the gap between theory and practice, laying out the math of deep learning side by side with practical implementations in Python and PyTorch. You'll peer inside the "black box" to understand how your code is working, and learn to comprehend cutting-edge research you can turn into practical applications. Math and Architectures of Deep Learning sets out the foundations of DL usefully and accessibly to working practitioners. Each chapter explores a new fundamental DL concept or architectural pattern, explaining the underpinning mathematics and demonstrating how they work in practice with well-annotated Python code. You'll start with a primer of basic algebra, calculus, and statistics, working your way up to state-of-the-art DL paradigms taken from the latest research. Learning mathematical foundations and neural network architecture can be challenging, but the payoff is big. You'll be free from blind reliance on pre-packaged DL models and able to build, customize, and re-architect for your specific needs. And when things go wrong, you'll be glad you can quickly identify and fix problems.

Flesh and Fish Blood

Postcolonialism, Translation, and the Vernacular

Flesh and Fish Blood

Postcolonialism, Translation, and the Vernacular

By: S. Shankar

In Flesh and Fish Blood Subramanian Shankar breaks new ground in postcolonial studies by exploring the rich potential of vernacular literary expressions. Shankar pushes beyond the postcolonial Anglophone canon and works with Indian literature and film in English, Tamil, and Hindi to present one of the first extended explorations of representations of caste, including a critical consideration of Tamil Dalit (so-called untouchable) literature. Shankar shows how these vernacular materials are often unexpectedly politically progressive and feminist, and provides insight on these oft-overlooked—but nonetheless sophisticated—South Asian cultural spaces. With its calls for renewed attention to translation issues and comparative methods in uncovering disregarded aspects of postcolonial societies, and provocative remarks on humanism and cosmopolitanism, Flesh and Fish Blood opens up new horizons of theoretical possibility for postcolonial studies and cultural analysis.

Flexible Kalina Cycle Systems

By: Tangellapalli Srinivas,N. Shankar Ganesh,R. Shankar

This volume provides a good understanding of the binary fluid system, highlighting new dimensions of the existing Kalina cycle system, a thermodynamic process for converting thermal energy into usable mechanical power. The book illustrates that providing new flexibility leads to new research outcomes and possible new projects in this field. The information provided in the book simplifies the application of the Kalina cycle system with an easy-to-understand and thorough explanation of properties development, processes solutions, sub-system work, and total system work. There are currently no books available in the area of binary fluid system in the field of KCS with added fallibility in the operation and process design. Currently decentralized power systems are gaining more attention due to shortages in power, and cooling demands are competing with other electrical loads. This book fills a valuable information gap, providing insight into a new dimension for designers, practicing engineers, and academicians in this area.

The Encyclopedia of Indian Philosophies, Volume 4

Samkhya, A Dualist Tradition in Indian Philosophy

By: Gerald James Larson,Ram Shankar Bhattacharya

Samkhya is one of the oldest, if not the oldest, system of classical Indian philosophy. This book traces its history from the third or fourth century B. C. up through the twentieth century. The Encyclopedia as a whole will present the substance of the various Indian systems of thought to philosophers unable to read the Sanskrit and having difficulty in finding their way about in the translations (where such exist). This volume includes a lengthy introduction by Gerald James Larson, which discusses the history of Samkhya and its philosophical contours overall. The remainder of the book includes summaries in English of all extant Sanskrit texts of the system. Originally published in 1987. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

The Indian Parliament

A Democracy at Work

By: B.L. Shankar,Valerian Rodrigues

The Parliament is the visible face of democracy in India. It is the epicentre of political life, public institutions of great verve, and a regime of Rights. In a first-of-its-kind study, this book delves into the lived experience of the Indian Parliament by focusing on three distinct phases—the 1950s, the 1970s, and the 1990s and beyond. The authors argue against the widely held notion of its ongoing decline, and demonstrate how it has repeatedly, and successfully, responded to India's changing needs in six decades of existence. This comprehensive and authoritative study examines the changing social composition and differing modes of representation that make up the Lok Sabha and critically explores its relation with the Rajya Sabha. Developments in the institutional complex of the Parliament, including the functioning of the Opposition and the Speaker are traced over time, along with the processes of legislation and accountability. Major debates in the House are scrutinized, and much of the analysis is based on empirical data gathered from surveys circulated among prominent politicians and public intellectuals. It also addresses the intricate issue of relations between the Judiciary and the Parliament. In its in-depth focus on the Lok Sabha, the volume highlights the way the Parliament has come to encompass India's proverbial diversity. It especially demonstrates the route this institution has taken to engage with fractious issues of diverging linguistic and regional demands.

Basanti

Writing the New Woman

By: Annada Shankar Ray,Baishnab Charan Das,Harihar Mahapatra

Basanti is a misfit in conservative, pre-independence rural Odisha. Not only does she read and write, all her choices—from marrying for love to dispensing medicines to the poor and running a girls’ school—are unconventional. Her emancipatory aspirations evoke strong reactions from her surroundings, even surprisingly from her husband, who is supposedly passionate about women’s freedom. In this collaborative novel, nine young authors narrate the journey of a liberated woman who questions the socially ordained roles of women and argues for change, especially through education. The authors, six men and three women, belonged to the ‘Sabuja Age’ in Odia literature, a short-lived, creative period of ten to fifteen years. Serialized in Utkala Sahitya between May 1924 and November 1926 and published as a book in 1931, with a revised version appearing in 1968, Basanti is the first fictional declaration of the independence of the Odia woman.

Intramolecular Charge Transfer

Theory and Applications

By: Ramprasad Misra,Shankar P. Bhattacharyya

Bridging the gap between the multitude of advanced research articles and the knowledge newcomers to the field are looking for, this is a timely and comprehensive monograph covering the interdisciplinary topic of intramolecular charge transfer (ICT). The book not only covers the fundamentals and physico-chemical background of the ICT process, but also places a special emphasis on the latest experimental and theoretical studies that have been undertaken to understand this process and discusses key technological applications. After outlining the discovery of ICT molecules, the authors go on to discuss several important substance classes. They present the latest techniques for studying the underlying processes and show the interplay between charge transfer and the surrounding medium. Examples taken from nonlinear optics, viscosity and polarity sensors, and organic electronics testify to the vast range of applications. The result is a unique information source for experimentalists as well as theoreticians, from postgraduate students to researchers.

An Invitation to 3-D Vision

From Images to Geometric Models

By: Yi Ma,Stefano Soatto,Jana Kosecká,S. Shankar Sastry

This book introduces the geometry of 3-D vision, that is, the reconstruction of 3-D models of objects from a collection of 2-D images. It details the classic theory of two view geometry and shows that a more proper tool for studying the geometry of multiple views is the so-called rank consideration of the multiple view matrix. It also develops practical reconstruction algorithms and discusses possible extensions of the theory.

Eco-Fearism

Prospects & Burning Issues

By: Bhawani Shankar Adhikari,Osinakachi Akuma Kalu,Desh Subba

In a world full of doubt and despair, we are yet to realize the invaluable importance of societal coherence and correspondence, especially in relation to our planet's ecosystem. Intelligent, empathetic life, such as ourselves, has limitless potential to co-create and edify a new paradigm of smart coexistence, if we manage to get fear under control. The society that we have constructed has undervalued life's potential because of individualistic separatism that seems to have been born out of fear of survival. Our fears of going extinct should be, counter-intuitively enough, not only a motivation for us to thrive in meaningful coexistence, but also an inspiration for us to be able to build a future that is worthy of our true capacities. As we dive deeper into Eco-Fearism, breaking the boundaries of our limitations and striving for excellence, we are enlightened by knowledge and by the hope that we can surpass our own immaturity and take care of ourselves and our planet through careful reflection.

Swaraj Ka Shankhnaad: The Clarion Call for Self-Rule by Siddhartha Shankar Gautam

By: Siddhartha Shankar Gautam

A flourishing career, a passionate love affair and a lasting friendship come in the way of an unforgiving disaster. What ensues is a desperate attempt to hold onto the pieces that are falling apart. The pandemic not just ravaged the lives of millions of people but also bolstered the feelings of love, friendship and brotherhood in its wake. When the world was collapsing under COVID-19, a group of youngsters was busy salvaging humanity. While the Delhiites were adrift on the second wave, the heroic efforts of Rahul, a small-town boy, and Aditi, a gorgeous, affluent and qualified doctor with a benevolent heart, together with the support of the district administration’s office proved that not all heroes wear capes. But are these heroes ready to pay the price for providing succour to others? Will they be magnanimous enough to let go of their own dreams, aspirations and even their life as they devote their time and resources to provide relief to strangers? Will their love tide over the unforgiving disaster that has gripped the world?

Confessions of a Secular Fundamentalist

By: Mani Shankar Aiyar

In Confessions of a Secular Fundamentalist, Mani Shankar Aiyar, crusader for a secular credo, calls for an unambiguous and decisive restoration of secularism to the core of our nationhood. In doing so, he revisits every dimension of our secular ethos and exposes the various myths perpetuated by communal elements of all hues. Putting under the scanner contentious issues like conversions, uniform civil code and Article 370, he nails the falsehood underlying terms like 'pseudo-secularism', 'appeasement' and 'soft Hindutva'. And he places the domestic debate over secularism in India in the wider external dimension by discussing the experiences of countries like Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Israel and erstwhile Yugoslavia. Admitting to wearing his secularism on his sleeve, Aiyar reasons that only a determined and inflexible adherence to secularism can counter religious bigotry and fundamentalism. Clear in his convictions, with history, logic and persuasive argument at his command, this is Mani Shankar Aiyar at his best, on a subject that we can ignore only at our own peril.

The Wild Heart of India

Nature and Conservation in the City, the Country, and the Wild

By: T.R. Shankar Raman

Wild—untamed, hostile, remote. Yet, wild can be gentle, welcoming, and inspiring, too. This is the wild that preoccupies biologist Shankar Raman as he writes about trees and bamboos, hornbills and elephants, leopards and myriad other species. Species found not just out there in far wildernesses—from the Thar desert to the Kalakad rainforests, from Narcondam Island to Namdapha—but amid us, in gardens and cities, in farms, along roadsides. And he writes about the forces that gouge land and disfigure landscapes, rip trees and shred forests, pollute rivers and contaminate the air, slaughter animals along roads and rail tracks—impelling a motivation to care, and to conserve nature. Through this collection of essays, Shankar Raman attempts to blur, if not dispel, the sharp separation between humans and nature, to lead you to discover that the wild heart of India beats in your chest, too.

Ghost in the Tamarind

A Novel

By: Subramanian Shankar

Who can you love? What do you owe to love and what to the world at large? Such are the questions that drive the story of Ramu, a Brahmin man, and Ponni, a woman of the Dalit “untouchable” caste. Set against the backdrop of twentieth-century South India, the novel takes readers from the 1890s village where Ramu’s grandmother grew up to the Emergency years of 1970s Madras. Against this sweeping canvas unfolds the drama of Ramu and Ponni’s forbidden love, inescapably intertwined with the great struggle against caste oppression. Caught up in the entanglements of love and politics, the couple risk everything to fight for a better society. Will they succeed? Steeped in history, this memorable inter-caste love story shows ordinary people moved to uncommon courage in their desire to make a difference in a ruthless world.

The Quadrant Puzzles

By: Shankar Menon

This piece of fiction may at first disturb those singularly pursuing “success” for it lays bare their identities and the nature of their personal relationships. However, by the end of the book there would clearly appear comfort and redemption. A novel that defies genres, it is about how unabashed opportunity creations lead to Orwellian outcomes. This is a must read for a beleaguered market civilization. This book has its share of heroes and villains. But in the end there is a universal triumph for every human being. A novel of immense reconciliation. It has the power to heal the earth and the human heart. Here is a bold attempt to synthesize philosophy and everyday living, the east and the west, reason and harmony, and finally, truth and beauty. A few excerpts from the book: “My heart raced as she sat beside me Her soft reassuring ancient hands Picked me up, cradled me in her lap, Pressed me to her breast And kissed me on the forehead. She then bent down to my ear And spoke the kind motherly words.” “Grossness was my creed Sensory entitlement my greed What heavenly intervention Would refine me human?” “I sat beside his imposing presence Hope blossomed in my heart. His message, direct and unmistakable Gave me a new vision.”
