    Synthesis of One Dimensional Carbon Nanostructures: Application in Catalysis and Hydrogen Storage
    (Lambert Academic Publishing, Germany, 2012) Rajarao, Ravindra; Bhat, Badekai Ramachandra
    Since the discovery of carbon nanotubes by Sumio Iijima, an intensive research on carbon materials has been carried out. Carbon nanotubes and carbon nanofibers have drawn much attention due to their electronic and mechanical properties. However, because of low production capacity and high production costs at present, their applications cannot be extended until large-scale production is realized. Among the many synthetic methods, chemical vapor deposition method has advantages of high yield, high selectivity and low cost over traditional physical ones such as laser ablation and arc-discharge. High yield synthesis of one dimensional carbon nanostructures is essential for applications. In this book, an economical and environmental friendly route for the scalable production of CNTs and CNFs on easy soluble support has been discussed. The use of synthesized carbon nanotubes as catalyst support for oxidation of alcohols by Schiff base complexes and also as hydrogen storage materials is discussed in detail.

    Green conversion oxidation of alcohols using metal complexes: homogeneous catalysis
    (Lambert Academic Publishing, Germany, 2020) Dileep, R.; Bhat, Badekai Ramachandra
    The oxidation of alcohols has been of great value in organic synthesis and represents an important entry to essential functional groups, such as ketones, aldehydes, and carboxylic acids. Many standard oxidation procedures have been available for this purpose; nevertheless, reactions currently used to oxidize alcohols employ toxic chromium oxide. Many industrial oxidation reactions are currently performed with stoichiometric amounts of oxidants such as peroxides, nitric acid and high metal oxides. Thus, there is a constant need to develop inexpensive oxidants, preferably under catalytic conditions, to minimize inevitable co-products, which represents an environmental problem. The designing of such oxidation system remains a challenge; ideal catalytic oxidation reactions should operate at room temperature in an environmental friendly solvent system, e.g. water and use green co-oxidants, such as oxygen (air) or hydrogen peroxide.This book brings an insight on such green, environmentally benign processes involving transition metal complexes in Ionic liquids which are recyclable and reusable.

    Textbook of Seismic Design
    (Springer, Singapore, 2019) Reddy, G.R.; Muruva, Hari Prasad; Verma, Ajit Kumar
    This book focuses on the seismic design of Structures, Piping Systems and Components (SSC). It explains the basic mechanisms of earthquakes, generation of design basis ground motion, and fundamentals of structural dynamics; further, it delves into geotechnical aspects related to the earthquake design, analysis of multi degree-of-freedom systems, and seismic design of RC structures and steel structures. The book discusses the design of components and piping systems located at the ground level as well as at different floor levels of the structure. It also covers anchorage design of component and piping system, and provides an introduction to retrofitting, seismic response control including seismic base isolation, and testing of SSCs. The book is written in an easy-to-understand way, with review questions, case studies and detailed examples on each topic. This educational approach makes the book useful in both classrooms and professional training courses for students, researchers, and professionals alike.
