Winner of the Restless Books Prize for New Immigrant Writing "Guest workers of the United Arab Emirates embody multiple worlds and identities and long for home in a fantastical debut work of fiction, winner of the inaugural Restless Books Prize for New Immigrant Writing.… The author's crisp, imaginative prose packs a punch, and his whimsical depiction of characters who oscillate between two lands on either side of the Arabian Sea unspools the kind of immigrant narratives that are rarely told. An enchanting, unparalleled anthem of displacement and repatriation." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review In the United Arab Emirates, foreign nationals constitute over 80 percent of the population.

Taking forward the notion of the scholar without borders, Global Higher Education Practices in Times of Crisis provides a critical review of the teaching practices in international higher education in the post-COVID era.
The Alkaloids, Volume 83, is the newest release in a series that has covered the topic for more than 60 years. As the esteemed, leading reference in the field of alkaloid chemistry, this series covers all aspects of alkaloids, including their chemistry, biology and pharmacology. Sections are presented as high-quality, timeless reviews written by renowned experts in the field. New chapters in this release include Lamellarin alkaloids: Isolation, synthesis, and biological activity, Chemodiversity, chemotaxonomy and chemoecology of Amaryllidaceae alkaloids, and The indole-based subincanadine alkaloids and their biogenetic congeners.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Conference on Advances in Computing Communications and Control, ICAC3 2011, held in Mumbai, India, in January 2011. The 84 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 309 submissions. The papers address issues such as AI, artificial neural networks, computer graphics, data warehousing and mining, distributed computing, geo information and statistical computing, learning algorithms, system security, virtual reality, cloud computing, service oriented architecture, semantic web, coding techniques, modeling and simulation of communication systems, network architecture, network protocols, optical fiber/microwave communication, satellite communication, speech/image processing, wired and wireless communication, cooperative control, and nonlinear control, process control and instrumentation, industrial automation, controls in aerospace, robotics, and power systems.
The special issue is dedicated to National conference on Communication, computational intelligence and learning-NCCCIL sponsored by AICTE and organized by Department of Information Technology at Army Institute of Technology from 12–13 January 2022. This conference gave the collaborative forum to academic experts, researchers and corporate professionals to enrich their knowledge in the automation and analysis of industry and business processes in a smart way. The two day conference included invited talks and paper presentations focusing on the applications of Computational intelligence, Communication, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence.
This book discusses biomedical spectroscopy and the applications of spectroscopic techniques in advanced medical technology. Applicable to scientists and medical professionals, the aim of this work is to enable them to work together in this field, so that healthcare facilities can be made routinely available in a cost-effective manner—especially for developing countries which may not be able to afford universal healthcare with present day expensive medical technologies. The subject matter of this book also covers – Instrumentation, Experimental Techniques and Computational Methods Spectroscopy of Animal Models Microspectroscopy for Biomedical Applications Clinical Applications of Optical Spectroscopy Spectroscopy of Human Models Print edition not for sale in South Asia (India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Bhutan)
This book offers an overview of the gasification process as a crucial thermochemical method for addressing the problem of plastic waste. The authors explore various strategies to minimize post-consumer plastic waste and provide a detailed analysis of one of the most promising methods for converting it into high-value products. The chapters reports on the gasification process and its potential for transforming plastic waste into energy and valuable resources. Readers will learn about methods for reducing plastic waste and treating them using the gasification process. Thermochemical processes for upcycling plastic waste into products with higher value, such as chemicals, fuels, and advanced materials are also covered in this book.
The proceedings from this May 2000 symposium illustrate the range of applications in Rapid Thermal Processing (RTP). The refereed papers cover a variety of issues, such as ultra-shallow junctions; contacts for nanoscale CMOS; gate stacks; new applications of RTP, such as for the enhanced crystalization of amorphous silicon thin films; and advances on RTP systems and process monitoring, including optimizing and controlling gas flows in an RTCVD reactor. Most presentations are supported by charts and other graphical data. c. Book News Inc.
The natural disasters are the killer agents which can/can't be predicted even though we have modern technology. Every year, in one place or another, disasters striking which is devastating the area and surroundings, leading to ecological disruption besides huge loss of life and property. India is vulnerable to cyclones, landslides/avalanches, earthquakes, floods, droughts, forest fires, epidemics, etc. The 5700-km long coast of India, with its dense population is vulnerable to cyclones/low depressions, tsunamis, etc. The 2400-km long rugged Himalayan terrain is vulnerable to landslides, avalanches and earthquakes. India is not only vulnerable to natural disasters, it is also experiencing ind...
