In the heart of New York City, young Ivaan is no ordinary boy. Inspired by his father's research on Martian minerals, Ivaan possesses a keen interest in the sciences. This bond with science only deepens as the consequences of global warming impact his everyday life. Witnessing the devastating effects of climate change, Ivaan becomes deeply concerned about the planet's future. The narrative intertwines the science of our own world with that of Mars. As Ivaan delves into a Martian sample procured by his father from a past NASA mission, he discovers potential solutions that could help Earth combat its rising temperatures. This Martian revelation propels him to participate in a prestigious scien...
Presenting an alternative perspective, this book proposes that performing arts forge an emotional bond between the performer and the audience, making the act of performance a therapeutic and restorative experience, and not merely recreational. Studying the life-experiences of six artists, and their unique engagement with three art forms — music, drama and dance — the book highlights the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual effects of performing arts both on the performers and the audience. More importantly, it takes the current understanding of the therapeutic role of arts beyond a deficit model of health that focuses on their use in curing illnesses, disabilities and imbalances, t...

This book focuses on cold habitat microbes as a potential source of elite enzymes and secondary metabolites to meet the growing demands of the pharmaceutical, food and biotechnological industries. Microbes living in such extremely cold conditions are reported to produce various biomolecules with potential biotechnological applications. The book overviews recent research trends to discover such important biomolecules and also suggests future research directions to discover such elite novel biomolecules. Salient features: Covers studies on various biotic communities and abiotic components of the soil of terrestrial habitats with a focus on cold habitats Discusses various 'Omic' approaches: metagenomics and meta-transcriptomics Lists adaptation strategies adopted by cold-adapted microbes Highlights various biotechnological and industrially important biomolecules produced by cold-adapted microbes Explores the role of microbial biofilm in the degradation of microplastics in cold habitats
Former chief CNN India correspondent and award-wining journalist Ravi Agrawal takes readers on a journey across the Subcontinent, through its remote rural villages and its massive metropolises, seeking out the nexuses of change created by smartphones, and with them connection to the internet. As always with India, the numbers are staggering: in 2000, 20 million Indians had access to the internet; by 2017, 465 million were online, with three Indians discovering the internet every second. By 2020, India's online community is projected to exceed 700 million, and more than a billion Indians are expected to be online by 2025. In the course of a single generation, access to the internet has progre...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 19th Annual RECOMB Satellite Workshop on Comparative Genomics, RECOMB-CG which took place in La Jolla, USA, during May 20-21, 2022. The 18 full papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 28 submissions. The papers were organized in topical sections on evolution; phylogenetics; homology and reconciliation; genome rearrangements; metagenomics; and genomic sequencing.
This up-to-date text and reference is designed to present the fundamental principles of robotics with a strong emphasis on engineering applications and industrial solutions based on robotic technology. It can be used by practicing engineers and scientists -- or as a text in standard university courses in robotics. The book has extensive coverage of the major robotic classifications, including Wheeled Mobile Robots, Legged Robots, and the Robotic Manipulator. A central theme is the importance of kinematics to robotic principles. The book is accompanied by a CD-ROM with MATLAB simulations.
It’s a gripping narrative of hopes and dreams, fast money, and corruption; woven around an unscrupulous businessman, questionable bankers, a rookie IPS officer, doctors, and the police force, with perpetrators unconcerned about the repercussions on innocent people. A few months into his new job in Mumbai, Adivteya Ahlavat (Adi) realises he must learn to play smart if he wants to succeed in the corporate world. Strong women, the feisty Leila and practical Trisha enter his life as he works his way up first in a Mumbai based publication house, and then a bank in Ahmedabad. When Sidanshu Gaur, a loan agent who has bankers clamouring for him, seeks Adi out, it appears as though the Gods are smiling on him. That’s until Gautam Mittal, a novice IPS officer starts sniffing around. So, how do they untangle themselves from the sticky web woven by their decisions? Read on to find out……
