Suitable for researchers and graduate students in fluid dynamics, astrophysics, and other areas of physics, this book clearly elucidates the dynamics and behavior of waves and oscillations in various mediums. It presents different types of waves and oscillations that can be observed and studied from macroscopic to microscopic scales. The authors describe applications in astrophysics, include simple exercises to give readers a hands-on grasp of the basics, and provide a large list of bibliographic sources that enable readers to research more technical aspects.
The Captainship is a collection of first-person narratives of nine first-generation Indian entrepreneurs, among India’s most respected for their value-based approach to organization building. The purpose of this collection is to share the journeys of the entrepreneurs as ordinary youths, with all the normal joys and insecurities of childhood and adolescence. The title The Captainship is inspired by the famous line from William Ernest Henley’s poem ‘Invictus’: ‘I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.’ Illustrated by Anitha Balachandran. Edited by Anya Gupta. The Captains include Ashish Gupta (Junglee/Helion), Sanjeev Aggarwal (Daksh/Helion), Sanjeev Bikhchandani (Naukri), Subroto Bagchi (Mindtree), Zia Mody (AZB), Ashish Dhawan (ChrysCapital), Vijay Sharma (One97), Satya Narayanan (CareerLauncher), and Girish Batra (NetAmbit).

“An Introduction to Waves and Oscillations in the Sun” is intended for students and researchers who work in the area of solar and astrophysics. This book contains an introduction to the Sun, basics of electrodynamics, magneto-hydrodynamics for force-free and current-free fields. It deals with waves in uniform media with relevance to sound waves and Alfven waves, and with waves in non-uniform media like surface waves or waves in a slab and cylindrical geometry. It also touches on instabilities in fluids and observational signatures of oscillations. Finally, there is an introduction to the area of helio-seismology, which deals with the internal structure of the Sun.
This book is based on the author's PhD thesis which was selected during the 1993 ACM Doctoral Dissertation Competition as one of the three best submissions. The focus of this work is on the issue of availability in distributed file systems. It presents the important new technique called disconnected operation, in which clients mask failures and voluntary network detachments by emulating the functionality of servers where actual server-oriented solutions are inadequate. This permits client operation even under complete isolation from the server; the clean integration of mobile computers into the system is an important side-effect of the new technique. The design and implementation of disconnected file service in a working system, the Coda file system, is described in detail.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the Second International Conference on Mobile Computing, Applications, and Services (MobiCASE 2010) held in Santa Clara, CA, USA, during October 25-28, 2010. The 15 revised full papers presented were carefully selected from numerous submissions. Conference papers are organized in six technical sessions, covering the topics of mobile Web and mash-ups, software engineering and development tools, cross-layer approaches, location-based services, mobile healthcare, and mobile social networking. Furthermore the volume includes two workshops on mobile computing and mobile security as well as four poster papers.
