This book is an autobiographical narration of the research activities, with penchant and passion, by two leading clinicians who turned towards stem cell research in later years of their life. The book is about facts as they happened, it also includes fiction as it should be a part of any novel and there is fantasizing as well as what one would like to be in the future. Facts, fiction and fantasy are frequently flavoured with philosophy as well. The authors axiomatically classify themselves as philosophers. Advocating that philosophy is the mother of all disciplines, they narrate how they jumped into deep waters of expensive stem cell research. The book describes how did they blunder at times and also cites the appearance of guardian angels to salvage them. Floundering from cell biology to different kinds of stem cell applications, the book describes where they have now parked at a far horizon, on the edge of new discovery of a wonderful drug. They ignite a spark of caution with restrictive regulations. The book ends with reframing the poem by Rabindranath Tagore, ‘Into that heaven of regenerative medicine, my Father, let my country awake.’
This book gathers outstanding papers on numerical modeling in Mechanical Engineering (Volume 2) as part of the proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Numerical Modeling in Engineering (NME 2018), which was held in Ghent, Belgium. The overall objective of the conference was to bring together international scientists and engineers in academia and industry from fields related to advanced numerical techniques, such as the finite element method (FEM), boundary element method (BEM), isogeometric analysis (IGA), etc., and their applications to a wide range of engineering disciplines. This book addresses various industrial engineering applications of numerical simulations to Mechanical and Materials Engineering, including: Aerospace applications, Acoustic analysis, Biomechanical applications, Contact problems and wear, Heat transfer analysis, Vibration and dynamics, Transient analysis, Nonlinear analysis, Composite materials, Polymers, Metal alloys, Fracture mechanics, Fatigue of materials, Creep behavior, Phase transformation, and Crystal plasticity.
This book constitutes revised selected papers of the Third International Conference on Computing Science, Communication and Security, COMS2 2022, held in Gandhinagar, India, in February 2022. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the conference was held virtually. The 22 full papers were thoroughly reveiwed and selected from 143 submissions. The papers present ideas, and research results on the aspects of computing science, network communication, and security.
The book contains high quality papers presented in conference Recent Advances in Mechanical Infrastructure (ICRAM-2019) held at IITRAM, Ahmedabad, India from 20-21 April, 2019.The topics covered in this book are recent advances in thermal infrastructure, manufacturing infrastructure and infrastructure planning and design.
Our civilization is at crossroads. It is brightened by unprecedented technological advances and blighted by murderous strife and unsustainable development. The book argues that the way forward is through management excellence of the key institutions of society: enterprises, not-for-profits, communities, other civil society institutions, organs of the state and so forth. The book explains, with the help of numerous live examples and research findings, what management excellence means for each of these institutional forms, and how it can be harnessed to lift the quality of civilization – towards widespread humaneness, creativity and performance excellence.
Addictions are invisible prisons that trap the mind and body, creating a cycle of dependency and suffering. This book not only explores chemical and behavioral addictions but also provides practical tools for overcoming them. Through strategies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, and self-reflection, it encourages readers to take control of their lives and transform compulsive patterns into conscious and meaningful actions. Delving into how dopamine and neurological mechanisms reinforce these behaviors, it also explains how they can be reversed. With a holistic approach, including family, community, and professional support, each chapter guides the reader toward recovery, addressing topics such as stress, relapses, and social stigma. It’s a call to action to abandon self-judgment, build resilience, and find renewed purpose, breaking free from the chains of addiction.
This book presents the select proceedings of the International Conference on Recent Advances in Manufacturing (RAM 2020). This volume, in particular, provides insights into current research trends and opportunities within the manufacturing processes domain such as conventional and unconventional manufacturing, micro and nano manufacturing, chemical and biochemical manufacturing, and computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM). The topics covered include emerging areas of the fourth industrial revolution such as additive manufacturing, sustainable and energy-efficient manufacturing, smart manufacturing, artificial intelligence in manufacturing application, and computer-integrated manufacturing. This book will be useful for to researchers and practitioners alike.
