Why You Must Know This Man
It is 1981. Delhi summer. A small office. Three “hungry” minds brainstorming launch strategy of a product. They have been doing this for the past 3 months, 12 hours a day. The office is HCL and the product is Systems-2 computers. What they are about to launch will kick start the Indian computer story, and which will be known as the “inflection point” of the Indian IT Industry. This book is the tale of that “inflection point,” and told through the life of that third “hungry” mind who together with Arjun Malhotra and Shiv Nadar was one of the stimulators of computer revolution in the country, a visionary who remained in the background and silently scripted the Indian IT story into a global epic—Amit Dutta Gupta.
Quantum Phase Transitions in Transverse Field Models
This book establishes the fundamental connections between the physics of quantum phase transitions and the technological promise of quantum information.
An Interdisciplinary Approach for Disaster Resilience and Sustainability
This book includes selected papers presented at the international expert forum on “Mainstreaming Resilience and Disaster Risk Reduction in Education,” held at the Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand on 1–2 December 2017. The journey towards disaster risk reduction and resilience requires the participation of a wide array of stakeholders ranging from academics to policymakers, to disaster managers. Given the multifaceted and interdependent nature of disasters, disaster risk reduction and resilience require a multidisciplinary problem-solving approach and evidence-based techniques from the natural, social, engineering, and other relevant sciences. Traditionally, hazard and disaster-r...
Quantum Ising Phases and Transitions in Transverse Ising Models
Quantum phase transitions, driven by quantum fluctuations, exhibit intriguing features offering the possibility of potentially new applications, e.g. in quantum information sciences. Major advances have been made in both theoretical and experimental investigations of the nature and behavior of quantum phases and transitions in cooperatively interacting many-body quantum systems. For modeling purposes, most of the current innovative and successful research in this field has been obtained by either directly or indirectly using the insights provided by quantum (or transverse field) Ising models because of the separability of the cooperative interaction from the tunable transverse field or tunne...
Out of the Nuclear Shadow
Outraged conscience, careful argument, poetry and political analysis -- gathered here is the diversity of voices, traditions, and approaches that are weaving themselves into an anti-nuclear and peace movement in India and Pakistan. In these essays, written before, during, and after the May 1998 nuclear explosions, scholars and activists from both countries attempt to understand and challenge the nuclearisation of South Asia. The essays are an act of resistance against governments that see nuclear weapons as a currency of power, as symbols of prestige, as sources of security, as moments of glory in an otherwise dismal contemporary history.The collection includes Mahatma Gandhi's response to t...
Theorizing the Local
Over the past four decades, the "globalized" aspects of cultural circulation have received the majority of scholarly-and consumer-attention, particularly in the study of South Asian music. As a result, a broad range of community-based and other locally focused performance traditions in the regions of South Asia have remained relatively unexplored. Theorizing the Local provides a challenging and compelling counterperspective to the "globalized," arguing for the value of comparative microstudies that are not concerned primarily with the flow of capital and neoliberal politics. What does it mean for musical activities to be local in an increasingly interconnected world? To what extent can theor...
Fruits of Destiny
“True resistance begins with people confronting pain and wanting to do something to change it” - Bell Hooks “Forget not that the grossest crime is to compromise with injustice and wrong. Remember the eternal law: you must give if you want to get.” - Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose If you are reading this, I hope you are doing well and there is plenty to look forward to in life and all segments, you are involved in. Fruits of Destiny is not your daily pick if the slightest concern about the vulnerable sections puts you off something - whether it is a book, a story, or any other extended medium. With this book, we are painting the canvas grey and the stories and experiences shared can be d...
Innovative Trends in Hydrological and Environmental Systems
This book presents select proceedings of the International Virtual Conference on Trends in Hydrological and Environmental Systems (ITHES 2021). Various topics covered in this book include urban hydrology, hydrological extremes, statistical analysis of hydro-meteorological data, impacts of climate change, hydrological modelling, groundwater studies, water resource management and applications of RS & GIS in hydrology. The book also discusses various topics on applications of CFD in water resources and environmental engineering, water and wastewater treatment, solid waste management and air quality. The book will be a valuable reference for beginners, researchers, and professionals interested in environmental civil engineering, especially hydrological and environmental systems.
A Companion to Indian Cinema
A new collection in the Wiley Blackwell Companions to National Cinemas series, featuring the cinemas of India In A Companion to Indian Cinema, film scholars Neepa Majumdar and Ranjani Mazumdar along with 25 established and emerging scholars, deliver new research on contemporary and historical questions on Indian cinema. The collection considers Indian cinema's widespread presence both within and outside the country, and pays particular attention to regional cinemas such as Bhojpuri, Bengali, Malayalam, Manipuri, and Marathi. The volume also reflects on the changing dimensions of technology, aesthetics, and the archival impulse of film. The editors have included scholarship that discusses a r...
Essential Information Systems Service Management
As organizations navigate the complexities of modern information systems management (ISM), they face many challenges. Rapid technological advancements, changing workplace structures, and mainstreaming remote work have underscored the need for clear roles, responsibilities, and methods for interaction within ISM groups and with external stakeholders. This lack of clarity can lead to inefficiencies, inconsistencies, and even breakdowns in communication, hindering the organization's ability to manage its information systems effectively. Essential Information Systems Service Management serves as a comprehensive solution to the challenges of modern ISM. It uniquely compiles critical roles, responsibilities, workflows, processes, functions, and methods for successfully managing contemporary information systems. By providing a clear roadmap, this book empowers practitioners and students to navigate the evolving professional landscape confidently and competently, ensuring they can contribute effectively to their organizations.
