Based on cutting-edge research by an interdisciplinary team of academics and policy analysts, this insightful and timely book considers the role of great power competition in what has come to be known as gray zone conflict. Taking the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine as a backdrop for some of its critical evaluation, it also examines US and NATO approaches to the management of escalation in asymmetric conflicts, and proposes innovative tools for managing crises in the future.
THE STORY BEHIND THE MAN WHO RECEIVED HIS HOLINESS THE DALAI LAMA IN 1959 1857, coerced by the East India Company, Ram, a young low- profile astrologer, flees Awadh because he dares to predict about a Gora Sahib and the East India Company. He struggles hard to reach Assam. Takes the humongous river route, largely in a row boat from Allahabad to Tezpur via Chittagong, sailing across, the mighty Ganges-Padma-Brahmaputra-Meghna, the Bay of Bengal and then to Tezpur, again via the Bay of Bengal, Meghana, Padma and the Brahmaputra changing a dozen row boats. Later, Kalachakra … the wheel of time settles the karmic scores in this ‘Root to Karma-Bhoomi’ story by giving his progeny Kamakhya Prasad Tripathi, then a minister in the Assam Cabinet, the lifetime opportunity to receive the Dalai Lama on behalf of the Government of India when he flees Tibet with his retinue on 18th April 1959. The narration unfolds the golden conversation between Dalai Lama and Kamakhya Prasad Tripathi hitherto not told.
This timely Handbook collates a range of evidence from top scholars in the field to help readers understand who microfinance reaches, how it helps, and why clients come back. It offers updated views on important concepts that enable a broader framework for understanding poverty and the corresponding financial needs of poor households.
Cellular and Molecular Control of Neuronal Migration provides an up-to-date collection of reviews on the molecular and cellular principles of neuronal migration in the mammalian brain. Over the last decades a rich catalogue of signaling molecules controlling neuronal migration has been compiled, and within this book an international panel of experts provides up-to-date discussions of the state of knowledge how these distinct signaling pathways regulate various aspects of neuronal migration. This book introduces the reader to the latest discoveries and concepts of neuronal migration enabled through the application of most sophisticated methods and cutting edge experimental approaches. Cellular and Molecular Control of Neuronal Migration also provides an update on the underlying cellular and molecular basis of neurodevelopmental migration disorders in human patients for all interested neuroscientists and clinicians.

"Indians in America have emerged as one of the most dynamic immigrant communities in the american mosaic. This book narrates their diasporic saga covering pre-1950 stream, and two waves (post-1965, and 1980), and profiles the three generations. It examines empirically the gaps in the perceptions and priorities of the first-generation parents, their second-generation children, and the elderly. It also probes the complex relationship pattern of the emerging new indian woman in the family as well as the latent phenomenon of domestic violence. The first of its kind presenting a comprehensive account of the indian diaspora in America, this book will prove to be of great value to the Indian-American community, and to the students of diaspora with a focus on this community. So also, those interested in studying the issues of identity and cultural assimilation, immigration history, and multiculturalism will find it immensely useful."
This book presents select peer reviewed proceedings of the International Conference on Applied Mechanical Engineering Research (ICAMER 2019). The books examines various areas of mechanical engineering namely design, thermal, materials, manufacturing and industrial engineering covering topics like FEA, optimization, vibrations, condition monitoring, tribology, CFD, IC engines, turbo-machines, automobiles, manufacturing processes, machining, CAM, additive manufacturing, modelling and simulation of manufacturing processing, optimization of manufacturing processing, supply chain management, and operations management. In addition, recent studies on composite materials, materials characterization, fracture and fatigue, advanced materials, energy storage, green building, phase change materials and structural change monitoring are also covered. Given the contents, this book will be useful for students, researchers and professionals working in mechanical engineering and allied fields.
