Prof. V L Mote was an extraordinary academician, who left a lasting impression on generations of participants of the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, Post Graduate Programme and Management Development Programme. He is also remembered by executives in several organizations that benefitted from his consulting assistance. With an M.Sc. degree in Mathematics from Bombay University and a PhD in Statistics from the University of North Carolina, USA, he began his academic career as Assistant Professor at the University of Florida, USA. This was followed by a position at Calico Mills, after which he was invited by Dr Vikram Sarabhai to join IIMA in 1962 where he became the first Chairman of the PGP, where he remained till his retirement in 1993.

Aayush, a fresh engineering graduate, realizes that idling, snoozing, internet addiction and motorcycle spins don't really qualify as skills to build a successful career. Goaded by parents, trounced by top-achieving buddies and encouraged by stray incidents, Aayush takes a plunge into the dog-eat-dog rat race called CAT – a nationwide, competitive test to make it to the top business schools. What follows is a simple, everyday motley of events as Aayush enrolls himself at a CAT coaching center, where he comes across interesting characters, ¬including an eccentric tutor with a penchant for fancy dress and an exquisite temptress, Nakshatra. Set in the serene backdrop of Manipal, a student-do...

A Journey through the Jeevitha Nauka by Haridasan T.M., narrates his experiences in life and brings out the importance of the nature driven and man-made evolution of the generation gap and the consequent cultural variations in human life. These changes are essential for our development, and to make this development sustainable, humanity should be ready at different age levels to make self-generated reforms in their mindsets and lifestyles. The author attempts to reveal how he made his experiments to approach this goal. From non-electrified dwelling in a rural hamlet, his journey to his present day life in a modern apartment in a bustling city met many rough and smooth paths. The various roles in his life, as a child, a dutiful son, a loving husband and father, along with being an affectionate grandparent in the home front, and as a student, teacher, researcher, administrator, social reformer and scientific consultant in the professional front gave him an opportunity to become a humane human being and responsible citizen. His revelations, it is hoped, would generate a sense of a rededication in our youth for shaping a glowing harmonious society.
This book provides readers with a variety of algorithms and software tools, dedicated to the physical design of through-silicon-via (TSV) based, three-dimensional integrated circuits. It describes numerous “manufacturing-ready” GDSII-level layouts of TSV-based 3D ICs developed with the tools covered in the book. This book will also feature sign-off level analysis of timing, power, signal integrity, and thermal analysis for 3D IC designs. Full details of the related algorithms will be provided so that the readers will be able not only to grasp the core mechanics of the physical design tools, but also to be able to reproduce and improve upon the results themselves. This book will also offer various design-for-manufacturability (DFM), design-for-reliability (DFR), and design-for-testability (DFT) techniques that are considered critical to the physical design process.
The present volume puts together a selection of EMS's Frontline columns. It is a testimony to the variety of his interests, his erudition, and his ability to communicate complex questions of history, politics and Marxist theory in simple and elegant prose. EMS discusses, among other things, the roles and contributions of Congress leaders from Dadabhai Naoroji and Ranade to Gandhi, Subhas Bose and Nehru, to Narasimha Rao and Manmohan Singh; he discusses the thoughts and relevance of Marxist theoreticians including Lenin, Rosa Luxemburg, Mao Zedong and Stalin, as well as Nelson Mandela; he writes on religion, philosophy and art; he discusses important questions of the Indian polity including planning and centre-state relations; he comments on the Indian Communist movement (including on the decision not to join the United Front government at the centre in 1996); and he writes about the radical experiments in Kerala.
Offers an overview of state of the art passive macromodeling techniques with an emphasis on black-box approaches This book offers coverage of developments in linear macromodeling, with a focus on effective, proven methods. After starting with a definition of the fundamental properties that must characterize models of physical systems, the authors discuss several prominent passive macromodeling algorithms for lumped and distributed systems and compare them under accuracy, efficiency, and robustness standpoints. The book includes chapters with standard background material (such as linear time-invariant circuits and systems, basic discretization of field equations, state-space systems), as well...
During the eight decades of my life, I have experienced both the pinnacle of success and the depths of sorrow. These have only strengthened my belief in the Lord Almighty. Surgery, as a specialty, is very stressful. Unexpected events that occur either during or after surgery are a part of a surgeon’s life. On occasions, these follow each other ever so quickly. But there are rewards too. The happy and grateful faces that are seen at the time of discharge are images that would remain with me for a long time. Decades later when I meet them at some places their faces light up. These are the moments of sheer joy for a surgeon. Dr C R Ballal
