A perfect body is desired by every human being. Be it in terms of height, weight or mass—the increased awakening to stay fit and to be in shape has led to an urge to be familiar with the human anatomy and its measurements. A compendium of numerous conceptual issues on human body physique, body composition and nutritional status, this book comprehensively discusses various protocols for measuring human body parts. The emphasis is laid on the recommendations made by International Biological Programme (IBP) on Human Adaptability. In addition, the book effectively reveals subtle differences between those individuals who otherwise look similar through various somatotyping techniques (like Heath...
Over the years, the scope of our scientific understanding and technical skills in ecology and environmental science have widened significantly, with increasingly greater emphasis on societal issues. In this book, an attempt has been made to give basic concepts of ecology, environmental science and various aspects of natural resource conservation. The topics covered primarily deal with environmental factors affecting organisms, adaptations, biogeography, ecology of species populations and species interactions, biotic communities and ecosystems, environmental pollution, stresses caused by toxics, global environmental change, exotic species invasion, conservation of biodiversity, ecological restoration, impact assessment, application of remote sensing and geographical information system for analysis and management of natural resources, and approaches of ecological economics. The main issues have been discussed within the framework of sustainability, considering humans as part of ecosystems, and recognising that sustainable development requires integration of ecology with social sciences for policy formulation and implementation.
This book covers the emerging and important topics related to production and operations management in a systematic way. It covers not only the essentials of planning, designing, managing and controlling of manufacturing operations, but also a number of relevant topics such as total preventive maintenance, environmental issues in production system, advanced production system, total productivity management and work system design, which are not covered in many books. The book is a useful resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students of MBA programmes, as well as B.Tech and M.Tech programmes of production and industrial engineering. Key Features • Theories and concepts based on day-to-day practical applications in the industry • Large number of solved examples to explain the theoretical concepts • Case study at the end of each chapter to illustrate the theory • Brings out the link between linear programming and its applications
In this innovative work, 43 distinguished contributors present the latest developments together with surveys of the field. Coverage encompasses several closely related disciplines and most of the results shown in this volume are unavailable in any other source. Among the important topics addressed are applications to the theory of ordinary differential equations of generalized order, degree theoretic methods in optimal control, numerical treatment of a nonlinear problem arising in heat transfer, and applications of fixed point theorems to problems in optimization and best approximation. Encouraging interdisciplinary research to stimulate further advances, Nonlinear Analysis and Applications serves as the vital reference for mathematicians, researchers, and graduate students engaged in applied mathematics, engineering, physics, industrial science, economics, optimization, probability, medicinal and operational research, and differential equations. Additionally, it is eminently suitable for use in professional seminars.
Designed for the senior undergraduates, this book gives entries of most of the important organic reactions, together with a critical examination of the evidence leading to the accepted mechanisms. It attempts to bridge the gap between an elementary treatm
