This work has been motivated by the outstanding need to prepare suitable substrate for growth of III-nitride heteroepitaxial thin films. The issue of lattice and thermal expansion mismatches between the substrates and overlayers, which results in a high threading dislocation density in the films, is seen to be detrimental to photon and carrier transport in these systems. Thus, looking for appropriate substrates or modifying substrates appropriately, has attracted enormous attentions. The work includes the chemical and structural modifications of silicon, gallium arsenide and sapphire substrates, to obtain appropriate characteristics. The work also consists of a significant portion on the adsorption and desorption characteristic of Ga metal on various high and low index silicon surfaces. This study not only complements the search for substrate for GaN growth, but also in other interesting aspects of initial stages of metal/semiconductor interface formation, evolution of superstructural 2D- surface phases and formation of sub-nanodimension metal nanostructures and delta doped.

About the Book: - Ayurveda the most ancient life science of the world is yet to be accepted as a science in its true sense by international scientific community. This is believed to be mainly due to lack of documentation and rigorous quality control of Ayurvedic drugs. There is a need for documentation of research work carried out on traditional medicines. With this backdrop, it becomes extremely important to make an effort toward standardization of the plant-based medicines. So this book 'Standardization and quality control of Dashanga Kwatha Ghana tablet: An Ayurvedic classical formulation' helps as a reference book, which mainly includes the step by step methodology required for the standardization of Ayurvedic raw drugs and the formulation - Dashanga Kwatha Ghana in tablet form as mentioned in the protocol of CCRAS and WHO. This book will certainly help P.G. and Ph.D. Research Scholars, Academicians, Research officers & Pharmacists in field of Ayurveda

This text book "A Comprehensive Review on Ointments: The Semi Solid Dosage Form" emphasizes on the general introduction, absorption, mathematical treatment, formulation, stability studies according to ICH guidelines, packaging, evaluation tests, patent and marketed preparations of ointment. An attempt is made to cover the marketed ointment preparation in India as well as international market with various patented ointment formulations. This book is helpful for the pharmacy professionals to get the thorough knowledge about the ointment bases selection, formulation consideration, formulation techniques with applications, several evaluation criteria across the globe etc

The current designs of color video projectors suffer from color errors commonly referred to as rainbow artifact. This book contains a new projector hardware and processing technique that reduces the artifacts significantly. Our contributions are in three parts. We first propose the notion of rendering error, or an error in the projected image perceived by the human visual system. We then propose spatial-temporal color wheel design incorporated the requirements for the zero rendering error condition and amplitude demodulation. The output was satisfactory, although it required a modfied color wheel. Finally, we propose preprocessing scheme that reduce rendering error by introducing a correction term to cancel the predicted rendering error.

Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is one of the favorite table fruit of tropical, subtropical, arid and semi-arid regions.Irrigation and fertilizers are the most important inputs which directly affect the plant growth, development, yield and quality of produce. Application of irrigation water and fertilizers through drip are the most effective ways of supplying water and nutrients to the plant roots. In newly planted pomegranate under high density planting system, 100 per cent RDF markedly enhanced vegetative growth, however, physico-chemical characteristics were significantly higher with application of 125 per cent RDF. Similarly, drip irrigation at alternate day significantly increased vegetative and physico-chemical characteristics. Based on statistical analysis of relative growth rate of shoots, plant spread, plant height, leaf area, light interception below canopy, carbon assimilation rate, leaf nitrogen and leaf potassium it is interred that the treatment combination comprising 100 per cent recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF) and drip irrigation at alternate day (I1F1) resulted in encouraging trends.

Cephalometric radiography is an important tool in the diagnosis and treatment planning. Manual tracing is time consuming and is subject to random and systematic error, which include identification and technical measurement errors and acquistion. The use of computerized software program offers several advantages, such as instant cehalometric analyses and image acquisition, facilitated image enhancement and archiving, and facilitated image sharing. This study was conducted to compare the Cephalometric measurements using a Compterized Software Program with Manual Tracings.19 angular and 11 linear measurements were analyzed on each radiograph. Results showed significant differences between the two methods for 5 (4 angular and 1 linear) out of 30 measurements. From the results it was concluded that both angular and linear measurements were accurate and reliable. Except, few measurements showing highly significant differences, the validity of the measurements with the software and with the conventional method are highly correlated.

Digital watermarking is a technique in which a secret image is embedded into host image. watermarking is used in a variety of applications such as copyright protection, covert communication, Tamper proofing and Medical applications. For the embedding purpose spatial domain techniques were used in early days. Now various transform domain techniques are used for the embedding purpose. some of the transform domain techniques are Discrete Cosine Transform, Discrete Fourier Transform, Curvelet transform and Contourlet transform. Among these transform domain techniques contourlet transform is used because of its ability to deal with two dimensional images. Contourlet transform represent images containing contours and textures very efficiently as it is a geometrical image based transform. Contourlet transform has played a major role in producing the watermarked image with good perceptual quality.

PMFor thousands of years,natural products have played an important role throughout the world in treating and preventing human diseases.Large number of medicinal plants have been advocated in folklore medicines,for treating various diseases and disorders.One of such plant is Salvia splendens(Labiatae).Tribal of Chotanagpur,Chattisgarh and Jharkand region of INDIA are using different parts of this plant for the treatment of different disease for human.Salvia splendens is known as scarlet sage mainly consists of anthocyanins and terpenoids.As guided by the literature regarding the traditional uses of this plant as antidiabetic and antioxidant,the methanolic and aqueous extracts were screened for these activities.This book should be especially useful for academic and industrial researchers to carryout further research in order to explore other biological activitie

Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) is rapidly emerging technology, which plays a key role in next generation networks by delivering QoS and traffic engineering (TE) features. MPLS is helpful in managing traffic when some links or paths are under and/or over utilized. Traffic engineering is the main strength of MPLS. Where an IP-based network is connectionless, MPLS based network defines definite paths for network traffic based on some Quality of Service level. In MPLS a look - up in switching table is certainly less complex and less time consuming than a corresponding routing table look-up in an IP router. This book presents an analysis of MPLS signaling protocols for traffic engineering and shows the capability of providing traffic engineering in MPLS compared to the conventional routing protocol, and also explains the MPLS LSR operations based on the basic LSR functionality of classification, queue, and scheduling. After comparative analysis of MPLS and non-MPLS network it shows that MPLS provides improved network performance for heavy traffic environments. This is useful to professionals and researcher who are working on MPLS networks.
