This book analyses one of the most controversial areas in the
political economy of international trade, namely the issues
surrounding the creation of new trade rules . Various concerns are
addressed, including the environment, labour standards,
intellectual property rights, trade facilitation, competition
policy, investment and government procurement, to many conventional
trade topics including the trade and development linkage.
Nanda combines theoretical analysis with valuable insights derived
from interactions with trade negotiators, politicians and
activists, arguing for a dynamic policy framework, particularly in
developing countries, with regular upgrading. He questions the
effectiveness of the current global trade order in promoting
development, highlighting not only the inability of conventional
economics to capture the reality of international trade but also
the neglect of some basic principles of economics. Nanda also
argues that the WTO is not the right forum for addressing
development issues because trade liberalization has traditionally
been its objective.

This book presents an in-depth treatment of routing and wavelength
assignment for optical networks, and focuses specifically on
quality-of-service and fault resiliency issues. It reports on novel
approaches for the development of routing and wavelength assignment
schemes for fault-resilient optical networks, which improve their
performance in terms of signal quality, call blocking, congestion
level and reliability, without a substantial increase in network
setup cost. The book first presents a solution for reducing the
effect of the wavelength continuity constraint during the routing
and wavelength assignment phase. Further, it reports on an approach
allowing the incorporation of a traffic grooming mechanism with
routing and wavelength assignment to enhance the effective channel
utilization of a given capacity optical network using fewer
electrical-optical-electrical conversions. As a third step, it
addresses a quality of service provision scheme for
wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM)-based optical networks.
Lastly, the book describes the inclusion of a tree-based fault
resilience scheme in priority-based dispersion-reduced wavelength
assignment schemes for the purpose of improving network
reliability, while maintaining a better utilization of network
resources. Mainly intended for graduate students and researchers,
the book provides them with extensive information on both
fundamental and advanced technologies for routing and wavelength
assignment in optical networks. The topics covered will also be of
interest to network planners and designers.

Mangrove habitat is known to release litters which in turn is
converted into organic matters.Those organic matters after
mineralization or decomposition release nutrients to the mangrove
ecosystem.Fungi in Mangroves do play a key role in litter
decomposition and nutrient cycling like other microbes.Fungal
biomass along with detritus contribute significantly to the food
chain of detritus feeding organisms found in Mangrove.Among the
microbes, the bacterial populations in Mangroves are manifold
greater than those of the fungi.The fungi exist as symbionts with
plants and animals, saprophytes on dead organic matter and often as
parasites on living organisms.The litter decomposition role of the
fungi ultimately contribute fertility of the environment.A
comprehensive understanding of nutrient cycles within mangrove
systems and their interactions with off-shore and in-shore
ecosystem is highlighted in this book. This work will provide
knowledge and ready reference for the students and the researchers
in the field of Mangroves.
"A wonderful story of a modern woman's journey from worldly
pursuits - fame, fortune, love - to initiation into an ancient,
sacred traditional lineage of Hindu monks. How Jeanette O'Shea
becomes Swamini Nityananda on the banks of Ganges in a city where
sooner or later all freedom seekers come."
Mary Lou (Meya) Miller
From a life of privilege, of luxury yachts, Gucci t-shirts and
Louis Vuitton handbags, newspaper journalist Jeanette O'Shea left
it all for a Himalayan hermitage, and ultimately initiation into
the sacred order of Vedic monks. This is a story of the world's
most ancient and profound teachings, its teachers and the rare few
who come to listen. This is an insight into life as a sadhu, one
who leaves everything to plumb the spiritual depths in a bid to
know the secrets of the soul.
It examines the cultural life aspects of the Kutia Kondhs, the
Dongaria Kondhs and the Malia Kondhs which remarkably differs from
one another even though there is much commonality in their social
and cultural life. With numerous illustrations of their
settlements, artefacts and art objects, items of material culture
and plans of their houses, the book deals with similarities in
socio-cultural, religious and aesthetic aspects of their life
varying occupations, habitats, ecosystems and housing types. It
attempts to show that a study of their material culture reveals
unity in diversity. For the purpose, it deals with their household
objects, quest for good personal care, dress, adornments, religious
objects and musical instruments. It describes each artefact/common
items of use along with its name (local dialect) in the Kondh
communities. Giving an ethnographic account of the different
sub-sects as well, the analysis systematically finds out what
aspects of their culture has changed over the time and what has
seen the least change. The work, both interesting and enlightening,
is an attempt to unravel the social and cultural aspects of one of
the most ancient and rich tribal traditions of India. It will be an
invaluable asset to scholars of a variety of disciplines, mainly
anthropology and sociology.
Due to increasing sophistication in attackers' ability to launch
attacks and growing dependence of users on the Internet,
development of effective security mechanism has become a necessity
while being a challenging task. NETWORK AND INFORMATION SECURITY:
Issues, Challenges and Research Trends takes a holistic view for
understanding of different types of network and information
security threats, designing tools and mechanisms to defend against
various threats. Accordingly, it covers - audio watermarking scheme
for secure distribution of audio files, fusion of fingerprint and
iris biometrics using BPSO, meta ensemble classifier for anomaly
based IDS, network security tools and systems, formal verification
of firewall anomalies, detection of Botnets, dynamic SQL
classification, trust in web services and cloud computing
environment, Identity Based Signatures (IBS), Side Channel Attacks
(SCA), symmetric key generation using chaos theory, identity
privacy in UMTS, and security vulnerabilities in CRNs.
