Item Principles of Rock Drilling(Oxford & IBH Publishing, New Delhi, 1998) Umamaheshwar Rao, Karanam; Mishra, B.Item Microwave and Radar Engineering(Umesh Publications, New Delhi, 2009) Kulkarni, MuralidharItem Principles Of Communication(Umesh Publications, New Delhi, 2006) Husain, Farooq; Kulkarni, MuralidharItem Sustainable Construction and Building Materials(Springer, Singapore, 2019) Das, Bibhuti Bhusan; Neithalath, NarayananThis book presents select proceedings of the International Conference on Sustainable Construction and Building Materials (ICSCBM 2018), and examines a range of durable, energy-efficient, and next-generation construction and building materials produced from industrial wastes and byproducts. The topics covered include alternative, eco-friendly construction and building materials, next-generation concretes, energy efficiency in construction, and sustainability in construction project management. The book also discusses various properties and performance attributes of modern-age concretes including their durability, workability, and carbon footprint. As such, it offers a valuable reference for beginners, researchers, and professionals interested in sustainable construction and allied fields.Item Synthesis of One Dimensional Carbon Nanostructures: Application in Catalysis and Hydrogen Storage(Lambert Academic Publishing, Germany, 2012) Rajarao, Ravindra; Bhat, Badekai RamachandraSince 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.Item Textbook of Seismic Design(Springer, Singapore, 2019) Reddy, G.R.; Muruva, Hari Prasad; Verma, Ajit KumarThis 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.Item Impact of Economic Growth and Trade Liberalization on Air Pollution(Lambert Academic Publishing, Germany, 2018) Jena, Pradyot RanjanItem Mathematical Modeling for the Solutions of Equations and Systems of Equations with Applications Vol.3(Nova Science Publication, New York, 2019) Argyros, Ioannis K.; George, SanthoshThese books are intended for undergraduate, graduate researchers and practitioners in computational sciences, and as reference books for an advanced computational methods course. We have included new results for iterative procedures in abstract spaces general enough for handling inverse problems in various situations related to real life problems through mathematical modeling. These books contain a plethora of updated bibliography and provide comparison between various investigations made in recent years in the field of computational mathematics in the wide sense. Iterative processes are the tools used to generate sequences approximating solutions of equations describing the real life problems stated above and others originating from biosciences, engineering, mathematical economics, mathematical biology, mathematical chemistry, mathematical physics medicine, mathematical programming, and other disciplines. These books also provide, recent advancements on the study of iterative procedures, and can be used as a source from which one can obtain the proper method to use in order to solve a problem. The books require a fundamental background in mathematical statistics, linear algebra and numerical analysis. It may be used as a self-study reference or as a supplementary text for an advanced course in biosciences, engineering and computational sciences.Item Recent Advancesin Chemical Engineering: Select Proceedings of ICACE 2015(Springer, Singapore, 2016) Regupathi I.; Vidya Shetty, K.; Thanabalan, MurugesanItem Engineering Geology(2016) Venkat Reddy, D.
