What if one of the protagonists of the story is also its chief antagonist? The Sentenced, a modern-day love story with a jarring twist, tells the tale of Maya, an alluring but naïve Indian woman, and Anton, an Italian Math professor. A lustful romance flourishes, much to the amusement of others and of Anton himself. Until the unexpected happens. There are two other characters in this story whose inputs are valuable. One is Nafisa, Maya’s friend and colleague at the university who refused to be swayed by Anton’s charm. The second is the dean of the University, whose mature love for Maya never found an expression. Each of these characters tells Maya’s story, and theirs. Was Maya a fool or an epitome of love itself? Is her passion justified or was she simply obsessed? Is Anton to blame or is he just human? Who, in this story, is really the one that is sentenced for life? These are answers that you will seek in this book. Whether the answers soothe, agitate or baffle, you cannot help but feel for them. For, we have all met a Maya or an Anton on our individual journeys of life.
Biological treatment of wastewater is a low-cost solution for remediation of wastewater. This book focuses on the bioremediation of wastewater, its management, monitoring, role of biofilms on wastewater treatment and energy recovery. It emphasizes on organic, inorganic and micropollutants entering into the environment after conventional wastewater treatment facilities of industrial, agricultural and domestic wastewaters. The occurrence of persistent pollutants poses deleterious effects on human and environmental health. Simple solution for recovery of energy as well as water during biological treatment of wastewater is a viable option. This book provides necessary knowledge and experimental studies on emerging bioremediation processes for reducing water, air and soil pollution.
This proceedings volume contains 29 papers covering many of the latest developments in the fast-growing field of bioinformatics. The contributions span a wide range of topics, including computational genomics and genetics, protein function and computational proteomics, the transcriptome, structural bioinformatics, microarray data analysis, motif identification, biological pathways and systems, and biomedical applications.The papers not only cover theoretical aspects of bioinformatics but also delve into the application of new methods, with input from computation, engineering and biology disciplines. This multidisciplinary approach to bioinformatics gives these proceedings a unique viewpoint of the field.

This book describes the latest advances in intelligent techniques such as fuzzy logic, neural networks, and optimization algorithms, and their relevance in building intelligent information systems in combination with applied mathematics. The authors also outline the applications of these systems in areas like intelligent control and robotics, pattern recognition, medical diagnosis, time series prediction, and optimization of complex problems. By sharing fresh ideas and identifying new targets/problems it offers young researchers and students new directions for their future research. The book is intended for readers from mathematics and computer science, in particular professors and students working on theory and applications of intelligent systems for real-world applications.
