The Millennial Woman in Bollywood

A New Brand

By: Maithili Shyam Rao

The subtitle says it all: how and why Bollywood found it worthwhile to explore the reality of the millennial women who are thriving in India - small part of the demographics but very influential. Advertising discovered women as The Hindi film Heroine is a brand and brand ambassador. The market met contemporary women who are independent, with freer attitudes to relationships, including pre-marital sex, Rom coms of the new millennium reflect this new-found freedom, defying patriarchy that still defines our society. Globalisation is culturally irreversible. From the 1990s onwards, Bollywood has responded to globalisation with fear of loss of identity and desire to integrate with global trends. It results in popular cinema becoming glocal. Bollywood celebrates nonconformists, subversives woman as the hero, stories in their own way unequivocally said No means No. Most daringly. Iconic characters like Choti Bahu, Paro and Chandramukhi transformed into today’s women with the power to change their lives. This happened with the energy infused into the mainstream by indie filmmakers with vision and the will to tell stories in their own way.

LIVING PAGES

A Collection of Short Stories - Vol. I

By: SHYAM SUNDAR BULUSU

The short stories that populate this book hold a mirror to various facets of life. They reflect a gamut of diverse emotions and moods. They display a rich variety of writing styles apt for the narrative – sombre for a serious social theme, flippant for a humorous anecdote, even a classical play format, and so on. The vibrant energy from these reflections of life turns the otherwise inanimate pages into ‘Living Pages.’

Environmental Monitoring

Environmental Monitoring

By: Shyam Kishor Agarwal

If the environment is deteriorated and degraded, polluted and defiled, filthy and disgraceful, concomitantly the speechless plants and animals, the motherly soil and the crazy human being besides the buildings and monuments suffer. While a few problems are occupational, water pollution is regional, and air pollution is global in its impact. The effluent rich water could be treated before disposal. However, pollutants once released in air can not be controlled. The main aim of writing this book is to provide the students of environmental science, a simple exposition of the subject. The book has been compiled from the point of view of the students to give them a thorough training in the principles and methods of environmental analysis. Recognising the need for standard methods in examination and analysis of environmental parameters has been long felt. The book starts with a chapter on environmental monitoring, followed by Physico-chemical monitoring to evaluate concentration of pollutants, Biomonitoring to evaluate pollutant effects, remote sensing and environmental stress. Environmental procedures for the common parameters have been discussed. There are many more parameters which should be monitored if the situation demands, but it becomes difficult when efforts are made at the level of an individual. The last chapter is detection of pollution by citizens to involve peoples participation in environmental monitoring.

Defying the Odds

The Rise of Dalit Entrepreneurs

By: Devesh Kapur,D Shyam Babu,Chandra Bhan Prasad

Defying the Odds is about the new Dalit identity. It profiles the phenomenal rise of twenty Dalit entrepreneurs, the few who through a combination of grit, ambition, drive and hustle—and some luck—have managed to break through social, economic and practical barriers. It illustrates instances where adversity compensated for disadvantage, where working their way up from the bottom instilled in Dalit entrepreneurs a much greater resilience as well as a willingness to seize opportunities in sectors and locations eschewed by more privileged business groups. Traditional Dalit narratives are marked by struggle for identity, rights, equality and for inclusion. These inspiring stories capture both the difficulty of their circumstances as well as their extraordinary steadfastness, while bringing light to the possibilities of entrepreneurship as a tool of social empowerment.

Vanishing Borders of Urban Local Finance

Vanishing Borders of Urban Local Finance

Global Developments with Illustrations from Indian Federation

By: Shyam Nath,Yeti Nisha Madhoo

This book examines the emerging trends in vanishing borders of urban local government finance due to uncertain local tax and expenditure regimes. It analyzes the global developments with illustrations from state budgetary operations of the Indian federation. This trend has gained momentum due to concentration of population in cities and big towns as a consequence of globalization, leading to enhanced environmental vulnerability due to climate change. Expanding expenditure needs have not been corresponded by revenue regimes and transfers. Moreover, involving corporate sector in local area preference initiatives through mandatory corporate social responsibility (CSR) is an interesting development. It is expected to work as a local fiscal additionality to supplement locally provided civic and infrastructure services. This additionality may also evolve into public private partnerships at the local level. Such development however has the potential of displacing local government operations. The focus of the book hinges around critically examining setbacks to fiscal decentralization and challenges in improving the status of urban local finances to enhance fiscal autonomy of these governments, particularly in Indian scenario. The book also explores the possibility of an expanded role of local fiscal policy in the context of globalization and climate change, besides addressing the conventional responsibilities with respect to quality of civic services.

Crop Adaptation to Climate Change

By: Shyam Singh Yadav,Robert J. Redden,Jerry L. Hatfield,Hermann Lotze-Campen,Anthony E. Hall

A major task of our time is to ensure adequate food supplies for the world's current population (now nearing 7 billion) in a sustainable way while protecting the vital functions and biological diversity of the global environment. The task of providing for a growing population is likely to be even more difficult in view of actual and potential changes in climatic conditions due to global warming, and as the population continues to grow. Current projections suggest that the world's temperatures will rise 1.8-4.0 by 2100 and population may reach 8 billion by the year 2025 and some 9 billion by mid-century, after which it may stabilize. This book addresses these critical issues by presenting the science needed not only to understand climate change effects on crops but also to adapt current agricultural systems, particularly in regard to genetics, to the changing conditions. Crop Adaptation to Climate Change covers a spectrum of issues related to both crops and climatic conditions. The first two sections provide a foundation on the factors involved in climate stress, assessing current climate change by region and covering crop physiological responses to these changes. The third and final section contains chapters focused on specific crops and the current research to improve their genetic adaptation to climate change. Written by an international team of authors, Crop Adaptation to Climate Change is a timely look at the potentially serious consequences of climate change for our global food supply, and is an essential resource for academics, researchers and professionals in the fields of crop science, agronomy, plant physiology and molecular biology; crop consultants and breeders; as well as climate and food scientists.

Studies on Species Diversity of Mycoflora and Biocontrol related to Vegetables in Nanded District.

By: Dr. Pushpa Y. Gangasagar , Dr.Shyam L . Ingale , Dr. Ajay B. Kurhe & Dr. Ulhaskumar S. Patki

The vegetables are important sources of essential vitamins and minerals needed for human system. They have roughage in sufficient qualities, low protein and fat contents, but carbohydrates, vitamin A, C, E and minerals like P, Ca, Fe, Mg and K are in plenty and they rank next to cereals as source of carbohydrates (Singh et al., 2005). Many vegetables of different category like root vegetables, stem vegetables, leafy vegetables fruit vegetables and cole vegetables are cultivated in the Marathwada region of the Maharashtra State. In the Maharashtra particularly in the Nanded district of the Marathwada region the vegetables like Carrot (Daucus carota L.), Radish (Raphanus sativus L.), Onion (Allium cepa L.), Methi (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.), Palak (Spinacia oleracea L.), Cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.), Cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis L.), Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) and Bhendi (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) etc.

Pollen Biotechnology

Gene Expression and Allergen Characterization

By: Shyam S. Mohapatra,R.B. Knox

The last decade has seen tremendous progress in our knowledge of the pollen development and gene expression on one hand and the characterization of pollen specific proteins on the other. In compiling the chapters for this volume, we have pragmatically categorized these basic developments in pollen molecular biology and biotechnology into two sections based on their applications in agricul ture and implications in medicine. Pollen developmental biology and gene expression: applications in agricul ture. Pollen development is an extremely complex process encompassing a series of biochemical, physiological and genetic events. At the basic level, sporophyt ically expressed genes may expound our knowledge of unique processes of cellular differentiation which ultimately give rise to a full-fledged organism. At the applied level, the studies on the pollen and male sporophyte-specific gene expression, and of promoters and transcription factors of relevant genes have the potential to manipulate the fertility in certain cash crops leading to agricultural biotechnology.

Communication Networks

A Concise Introduction, Second Edition

By: Jean Walrand,Shyam Parekh

This book results from many years of teaching an upper division course on communication networks in the EECS department at the University of California, Berkeley. It is motivated by the perceived need for an easily accessible textbook that puts emphasis on the core concepts behind current and next generation networks. After an overview of how today's Internet works and a discussion of the main principles behind its architecture, we discuss the key ideas behind Ethernet, WiFi networks, routing, internetworking, and TCP. To make the book as self-contained as possible, brief discussions of probability and Markov chain concepts are included in the appendices. This is followed by a brief discussion of mathematical models that provide insight into the operations of network protocols. Next, the main ideas behind the new generation of wireless networks based on LTE, and the notion of QoS are presented. A concise discussion of the physical layer technologies underlying various networks is also included. Finally, a sampling of topics is presented that may have significant influence on the future evolution of networks, including overlay networks like content delivery and peer-to-peer networks, sensor networks, distributed algorithms, Byzantine agreement, source compression, SDN and NFV, and Internet of Things.

Ethics and the History of Indian Philosophy

By: Shyam Ranganathan

Ethics and the History of Indian Philosophy, by Shyam Ranganathan, presents a compelling, systematic explication of the moral philosophical content of history of Indian philosophy in contrast to the received wisdom in Indology and comparative philosophy that Indian philosophers were scarcely interested in ethics. Unlike most works on the topic, this book makes a case for the positive place of ethics in the history of Indian philosophy by drawing upon recent work in metaethics and metamorality, and by providing a through analysis of the meaning of moral concepts and PHILOSOPHY itself- in addition to explicating the texts of Indian authors. In Ranganathan`s account, Indian philosophy shines with distinct options in ethics that find their likeness in the writings of the Ancient in the West, such as Plato and the Neo-Platonists, and not in the anthropocentric or positivistic options that have dominated the recent Western tradition.
