AN INTRODUCTION TO MODERN TECHNIQUES IN GEOTECHNICAL AND FOUNDATION ENGINEERING presents in eight chapters subjects such as Special and New Foundations, New Retaining Techniques, Applications of Geosynthetics, Special Ground Improvement Methods, Advanced Field Tests and an array of Other Topics, concluding with land mark Case Histories. Between them they cover a survey of topics such as foundations for special structures and in special soils, special piles, prestressed and shell foundations, reinforced earth, ground anchors, diaphragm walls, gabions, a variety of geosynthetic products and their uses, vibro-compaction, soilcrete, dynamic compaction, vacuum consolidation, the modern dynamic pile testing, pressuremeter and dilatometer, piezocone, GPR, centrifugal testing, piled rafts, box-jacking, sanitary landfills, and fly ash disposal, besides a host of topics of modern geotechnical interest at the international level. The case histories include the foundations of the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur and Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the geotechnical intervention in the restoration of the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the construction of the Suez and Panama Canals.This book represents a first-of-its-kind attempt to put together a vast array of topics of modern geotechnical and foundation engineering interest. It is primarily addressed to the geotechnical and structural engineering communities. The book has a very encouraging Foreword, with profound insights into the theme and need of the book, by the renowned academic-consultant Professor Harry G. Poulos of Sydney, Australia.
PHARMACEUTICAL, MEDICINAL AND NATURAL PRODUCT CHEMISTRY provides an overview of structural features and functional groups of different classes of pharmacologically active natural products, synthetic drugs and drugs from microorganisms, animals and plants and their biological activities.The text presents the concepts which are central to the study of drug action of the natural materials themselves and as lead compounds and drug production (DNA Recombinant Technology) supported by logical chemical, biochemical and mechanistic principles. The material presented guides the reader through biosynthetic and metabolic pathways, which demonstrates their unique integration. The book also contains material on the synthesis of some drugs structure, synthesis, biosynthesis and conformational analysis of some of the more important members of terpenoids, steroids, carotenoid alkaloids, flavanoids, purine and pyrimidines along with their medicinal significance.Students of organic chemistry, pharmacy and medicinal chemistry will find this book an invaluable source.
NONLINEAR ANALYSIS presents recent developments in calculus in Banach space, convex sets, convex functions, best approximation, fixed point theorems, nonlinear operators, variational inequality, complementary problem and semi-inner-product spaces. Nonlinear Analysis has become important and useful in the present days because many real world problems are nonlinear, nonconvex and nonsmooth in nature. Although basic concepts have been presented here but many results presented have not appeared in any book till now. The book could be used as a text for graduate students and also it will be useful for researchers working in this field.
MICROBIOLOGY is the study of microorganisms – organisms which are too small to be seen with unaided eyes. They are present everywhere in our environment. They act both as our friend and foe. They include bacteria, fungi, virus, protozoa and algae. The book deals with various aspects of microorganisms – diversity of microbial life, their physiology and genetics, importance of microorganisms to mankind, methods to control them and tools and techniques to study them. It not only focuses on the fundamentals but also covers the application aspect of the subject. The book will help the readers to explore and understand the fascinating world of microorganisms.

MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATION FOR COMPUTER SCIENCE, a textbook covers mathematical logic, Normal Forms, Graphs, Trees and Relations. The emphasis in the book is on the presentation of fundamentals and theoretical concepts in an intelligible and easy to understand manner. Every topic is illustrated with a number of problems of increasing complexities which will help the beginner understand the fundamentals involved and enable them to solve various problems.
PHARMACEUTICAL MICROBIOLOGY: A Textbook provides concise yet wide ranging views on important aspects of microbiology for students pursuing undergraduate courses in pharmacy, dental, medical and science departments.
COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS is an effort to cover a range of topics, - from elementary concepts for the uninitiated students to state-of-the-art algorithms useful for the practitioners. The contents begin with preliminaries, in which the basic principles and techniques of Finite Difference (FD), Finite Volume (FV) and Finite Element (FE) methods are described using detailed mathematical treatment. The methodologies are explained systematically using step-by-step hand calculations. These introductory chapters are followed by the state-of-the-art methods and algorithms, including, Semi Implicit Pressure Linked Equations (SIMPLE) and Marker and Cell (MAC) family of algorithms that are widely adopted in various commercial codes. These advanced chapters use general forms of governing equations, boundary conditions, and initial conditions encountered in CFD. Finally, the modeling of free surface flows has been covered as a special topic.Students and practitioners – particularly in mechanical, aerospace, chemical, metallurgy and civil engineering – will benefit from this authoritative material. They will be able to apply numerical techniques to the solution of variety of fluid dynamics and heat transfer problems of industrial importance.
