Building Materials and Construction is primarily written for the students of Civil Engineering to make them familiar with building materials and construction practices to build their interest in the field. The book starts with explanation of building material concepts and goes on to explain all the important materials like Lime, Bricks, Cement, Timber, Concrete etc. in separate chapters following the same flow as prescribed in major universities. Special emphasis is given on construction materials such as foundation work, stone and brick masonry, plastering work, door and window design, roof and floors, DPC etc.
The book discusses different branches of geology, earths internal structure, composition of the earth, hydrogeology, geological structures and their impact on terrain stability and solution of several engineering problems related with stability and suitability of site for construction
Over the past 25 years, the molecular electrostatic potential has become firmly established as an effective guide to molecular interactions. With the recent advances in computational technology, it is currently being applied to a variety of important chemical and biological systems. Its range of applicability has expanded from primarily a focus on sites for electrophilic and nucleophilic attack to now include solvent effects, studies of zeolite, molecular cluster and crystal behavior, and the correlation and prediction of a wide range of macroscopic properties. Moreover, the increasing prominence of density functional theory has raised the molecular electrostatic potential to a new stature o...
The concept of Dictionary of Synonyms & Antonyms is to provide illustrated examples to show how words of less obvious sense are used, and markers such as ‘informal’, ‘derogatory’, and ‘obsolete’ highlight the usage style. It is replete with appropriate words that will help improve the vocabulary to a great extent. A person who has to use words to express himself or his thoughts in a better manner will benefit from owning a Dictionary of Synonyms and Antonyms. It is a handy reference book for better choice of words to enhance and improve language skills.This book serves this purpose more than any other. This useful reference goes beyond a thesaurus, explaining the fine shades ...
Dictionary of Social Sciences’ is a comprehensive reference work with over 1700 entries ranging from fifty to five hundred words covering topics such as anthropology; sociology; economics; political science; cultural studies; human and cultural geography. The Dictionary is aimed at students and scholars who need ready access to defined terms in a social science outside of their immediate area of expertise; for example; an economist needing information regarding a political science term. A must have book for readers having keen interest in social sciences. Dictionary of Social Sciences by Dr. Anil Kumar Mishra/ Dr. Sudhir Kumar Mishra: This reference book likely provides an extensive compil...

This book strikes a fine balance between contemporary Continuing Medical Education Articles and original research work related to cardiovascular system in general and hypertension in particular. Highlights of this edition include: (a) Addressing common clinical problems of Hypertension management. (b) Outlining Patho-physiological aspects of Hypertension. (c) Making management of various co-morbidities with hypertension very simple by providing simple, well defined algorithms and flow charts. (d) Studies on Bio-rhythms and circadian rhythms.
The gap between experimental objects and models for calculations in chemistry is being bridged. The size of experimental nano-objects is decreasing, while reliable calculations are feasible for larger and larger molecular systems. The results of these calculations for isolated molecules are becoming more relevant for experiments. However, there are still significant challenges for computational methods. This series of books presents reviews of current advances in computational methodologies and applications. Chapter 1 of this volume provides an overview of the theoretical and numerical aspects in the development of the polarizable continuum model (PCM). Chapter 2 demonstrates a multiplicativ...
This book analyzes how contemporary visual art can visualize environmental crisis. It draws on Karen Barad’s method of “agential realism,” which understands disparate factors as working together and “entangled.” Through an analysis of digital eco art, the book shows how the entwining of new materialist and decolonized approaches accounts for the nonhuman factors shaping ecological crises while understanding that a purely object-driven approach misses the histories of human inequality and subjugation encoded in the environment. The resulting synthesis is what the author terms a border ecology, an approach to eco art from its margins, gaps, and liminal zones, deliberately evoking the idea of an ecotone. This book is suitable for scholarly audiences within art history, criticism and practice, but also across disciplines such as the environmental humanities, media studies, border studies and literary eco-criticism.
