1.1. Introduction Vamsadhara basin lies in Orissa and Andhra Pradesh States. It is bounded on the north by the Mahanadi basin, on the northeast by the Rushikulya basin, on the west by the Nagavali basin and on the east by the Bay of Bengal. The catchment area is mostly hilly. Since the surface is mostly covered with kankar and murum, the run -off is moderate in the basin. Vamsadhara is an important east flowing river between Mahanadi and Godavari. The river rises just south of the Belagad village in the undivided phulbani district of Orissa at an elevation of about 600m. The important between Orissa and Andhra Pradesh and 73 km is in Andhra Pradesh. The important tributaries of Vamsadhara ar...
The properties of sediment particles, transportation and their deposition in the sedimentary environments can be deciphered by the granumlometric studies, which also provide critical information regarding sedimentary provenance and depositional conditions. Many factors like currents and wave activities, offshore and onshore movements, transgression and regression of the sea levels, periodic storms, confluence of streams, rivulets and rivers into the oceans can influence the grain size in the depositional environments. Variations in the size of the grains reflect various earth surface processes viz., developmental processes of landforms. So, many researchers from all over the world carried out panoptic research and emphasized the significance of granulometric analysis to understand and to distinguish various depositional environments viz., estuarine, lacustrine, fluvial and marine etc., in particular in the coastal realms.
The coastline of Andhra Pradesh is situated on the Southeast coast of Indian Peninsula with waters of Bay of Bengal and length of the coastline is 974 kilometers. The coastline endowed with huge recent sediments. These have been attracting the attention of geologists for research in many aspects. The research output yields an excellent opportunity to examine texture, composition and distribution pattern of coastal sediments and is useful for delineating valuable minerals that are enriched in good abundance of coastal region. The coastal region contains heavy minerals like ilmenite, magnetite, garnet, sillimanite, rutile, zircon, monazite and epidote etc. These heavy minerals play a major role in different mineral based industries.
While a good grasp of the many separate aspects of agriculture is important, it is equally essential for all those involved in agriculture to understand the functioning of the farming system as a whole and how it can be best managed. It is necessary to re-assess and understand rain-fed farming systems around the world and to find ways to improve the selection, design and operation of such systems for long term productivity, profitability and sustainability. The components of the system must operate together efficiently; yet many of the relationships and interactions are not clearly understood. Appreciation of these matters and how they are affected by external influences or inputs are important for decision making and for achieving desirable outcomes for the farm as a whole. This book analyses common rain-fed farming systems and defines the principles and practices important to their effective functioning and management.

A practical clinically relevant introduction to diagnostic radiology Introduction to Basic Radiology is written to provide non-radiologists with the level of knowledge necessary to order correct radiological examinations, improve image interpretation, and enhance their interpretation of various radiological manifestations. The book focuses on the clinical scenarios most often encountered in daily practice and discusses practical imaging techniques and protocols used to address common problems. Relevant case scenarios are included to demonstrate how to reach a specific diagnosis. Introduction to Basic Radiology is divided into ten chapters. The first two chapters provide basic information on ...
The stochastic block model (SBM) is a random graph model with different group of vertices connecting differently. It is widely employed as a canonical model to study clustering and community detection, and provides a fertile ground to study the information-theoretic and computational tradeoffs that arise in combinatorial statistics and more generally data science. This monograph surveys the recent developments that establish the fundamental limits for community detection in the SBM, both with respect to information-theoretic and computational tradeoffs, and for various recovery requirements such as exact, partial and weak recovery. The main results discussed are the phase transitions for exact recovery at the Chernoff-Hellinger threshold, the phase transition for weak recovery at the Kesten-Stigum threshold, the optimal SNR-mutual information tradeoff for partial recovery, and the gap between information-theoretic and computational thresholds.
Society provides human, physical and cultural resources for the growth and development of science and technology. In turn, developments in science and technology influence society. As such, technology and society are obviously in a reciprocal relationship, and all social institutions are affected by technology. Understanding the influence of technology in bringing about social change has assumed greater significance in current sociological research, given the development of technological advances such as information technology and biotechnology. In this context, this book provides an understanding of the influence of the adoption of tissue culture, one of the techniques of biotechnology, on ...
