This book focuses on important interfacial phenomena, such as interfacial potential and interfacial multi-functionality, responsible for determining the fate of nanoparticles inside the biological milieu. Additionally, this book explores the role of surface defects in photocatalytic nanoparticles in defining the nanoparticle interaction to biological membrane and cytotoxic propensity.The authors describe the interfacial assembly of peptide/protein on conformational/functional dynamics of the peptide/protein, which may be adopted as an approach to moderate the protein misfolding diseases.

Plant alkaloids will be helpful to know which organ is mostly affected by which one drug. It will helpful to establish an index between harm and benefit. It will help to educate the people against causing addiction.It will be great importance from medical economical and sociological point of view. This study was undertaken to evaluate the plant alkaloids (Morphine,Atropine) of blood at physiological level, and bio-chemical levels, while tissue as histological levels of Albino Rat.
This book explores the emergence of identity politics and violence at the forefront of political life in an Indian state. Through a close reading of everyday politics in West Bengal, India, which until recently boasted of the longest-serving elected communist government in the world, the volume presents unique observations on Indian politics and its trajectories. One of the first ethnographic studies of religious polarisation and its interface with politics in West Bengal, this book: Offers a fresh perspective, both theoretically and empirically, by using longitudinal, multi-site ethnography, to explain the mechanisms by which identity issues have re-emerged; Studies key policy changes, political practices and series of invented traditions during periods of political transition; Examines intricate details of the micro-dynamics of the formulation and expansion of Hindu and Islamic fundamentalism and their political counterparts, which carry a capacity to push away secular, democratic forces from the existing political spectrum; Sheds light on the mechanisms of riots, its design, organisational bases and mechanisms of spread; Includes key observations from the 2021 elections in the state. The volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of political science, social and cultural anthropology, sociology and South Asian studies.
The book has relevance to academics, scholars, administrators, policy experts, anthropologists, sociologists, development scientists, environmentalists as well as anyone interested in the welfare of communities residing in the vicinity of a Protected Area. It stands out as a work that will stand the test of time and should be an asset that many would like to keep. Dr. Abhik Ghosh Professor and Chairperson Department of Anthropology Panjab University Chandigarh This book is an excellent compilation of the outcome of the intense research work undertaken in the emerging field of Community Based Ecotourism Management at The UNESCO World Heritage Site, The Great Himalayan National Park and it will certainly be useful to provide necessary information, future research, road map and guidelines for all the stakeholders for effective planning and implementation of sustainable ecotourism.

The increasing demand in home and industry for electronic devices has encouraged designers and researchers to investigate new devices and circuits using new materials that can perform several tasks efficiently with low IC (integrated circuit) area and low power consumption. Furthermore, the increasing demand for portable devices intensifies the search to design sensor elements, an efficient storage cell, and large-capacity memory elements. Electrical and Electronic Devices, Circuits and Materials: Design and Applications will assist the development of basic concepts and fundamentals behind devices, circuits, materials, and systems. This book will allow its readers to develop their understanding of new materials to improve device performance with even smaller dimensions and lower costs. Additionally, this book covers major challenges in MEMS (micro-electromechanical system)-based device and thin-film fabrication and characterization, including their applications in different fields such as sensors, actuators, and biomedical engineering. Key Features: Assists researchers working on devices and circuits to correlate their work with other requirements of advanced electronic systems. Offers guidance for application-oriented electrical and electronic device and circuit design for future energy-efficient systems. Encourages awareness of the international standards for electrical and electronic device and circuit design. Organized into 23 chapters, Electrical and Electronic Devices, Circuits and Materials: Design and Applications will create a foundation to generate new electrical and electronic devices and their applications. It will be of vital significance for students and researchers seeking to establish the key parameters for future work.
Digital India and The Poor examines how the poor are evoked in contemporary Indian political discourse. It studies the ways in which the disadvantaged are accounted for in the increasingly digitised political economy, commercial and public policy, media, and academic research. This book: Interrogates the category of the poor in India and how they have come to be classified in economic and policy documents over the past few decades Explores the influential digital education technology ‘experiments’ conducted in Indian slums from the late 1990s, now popularly known as the ‘hole-in-the-wall experiments’ Discusses financial inclusion initiatives, predominantly as they converged between 2014 and 2017, such as the Jan Dhan Yojana, the Aadhaar Project, and the banknote demonetisation Presents an in-depth study of the bearing of technology on domestic employment in India The book will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of South Asian studies, politics, political science and sociology, technology studies, linguistics, and development studies.
How the social sector can raise money, create social change, advocate a cause and engage with people. Every organisation in the social sector has at least two of the above needs. This book uses the principles of Nudge Theory to show how to fulfil these needs better. The book takes a storytelling approach, rather than an academic one, and is packed with examples from India and around the world. The centrality of 'marketing' for social change is a severely underrated and largely berated idea. This book takes this complex, often ethical, often emotional issue by the horns and lays down a cogent, articulate and hugely interesting narrative around the why, what and how of marketing for the larger social good. Gaurav Shah, Founder & Director, Indian School of Development Management An “inspirational and essential” book for everyone, at all levels in the social sector. We solve “wicked” problems for the most vulnerable, every day. Our work is critical and yet, we “beg” for support. Suman uses a combination of rigorous academic theory, fascinating stories and practical advice to show us how we can become evangelists and storytellers to inspire and engage many others to join our movement to create a better world. Priya Naik, Founder & CEO, Samhita Social Ventures This is not just a good book, an interesting book but a great book because it’s a practical hand book for all the stakeholders in the social sector. Those who are struggling to establish themselves, those who want to scale up, those who want to evaluate prospective donees and those who want to write about the sector. I wish I had read this book when I co-founded Yuva Parivartan nearly 25yrs ago. Kishore Kher, President & Trustee, Kherwadi Social Welfare Association
This book focuses on irrigation sources together with water management for agricultural development in Uttar Pradesh state of India. Being the most populous state of the country, it bears a burden of feeding about 199 million people of which major section relies on agriculture for their subsistence. This study makes comparison in the growth trends in the irrigated area, crop land use patterns and crop productivity at the district level in different periods of time. The book emphasizes on irrigation water management to optimize crop yields in order to increase Water Productivity of crops in low productivity regions of the state applying suitable technology. This book appeals to researchers and students in geography and planning working on the topics of agriculture as well as irrigation and water management aspects.
