This book presents device design, layout design, FEM analysis, device fabrication, and packaging and testing of MEMS-based piezoelectric vibration energy harvesters. It serves as a complete guide from design, FEM, and fabrication to characterization. Each chapter of this volume illustrates key insight technologies through images. The book showcases different technologies for energy harvesting and the importance of energy harvesting in wireless sensor networks. The design, simulation, and comparison of three types of structures - single beam cantilever structure, cantilever array structure, and guided beam structure have also been reported in one of the chapters. In this volume, an elaborate characterization of two-beam and four-beam fabricated devices has been carried out. This characterization includes structural, material, morphological, topological, dynamic, and electrical characterization of the device. The volume is very concise, easy to understand, and contains colored images to understand the details of each process.

An empowering anthology featuring 33 women from 5 continents sharing their phenomenal stories of transformation. The stories within this book illustrate how the women became broken and in their journey of repair, they have found golden threads that have made them whole again. As they transform, they are even more beautiful and have learned to know their value, just like the increased beauty and value of the Kintsugi bowls. Featuring: Ritu Sharma, Illa Khagram, Tiffany Henkel, Andrea Malam, Hafiza Khatun, Jenni Harris, Azmina Jiwa, Donna Joseph, Mirabel Ngong, Maureen A Lewis, Nina N, Sangeeta Patel, Ruth Cyster-Stuettgen, Samantha Pearce, Poonam Karwal, Sonal Dave, Jaswinder Challi, Yvette Pearce, Sophie Kemoko, Suman Manghra, Saboohi Gill, Bal Heer, Jemma Rosenthal, Susanne Virtanen, Maxine Palmer-Hunter, Diksha Chakravarti, Delcie Hopley, Rajee S, Shazia Nawaz, Raj Rana, Sandhya, Jayasri Banala and Monika Bammi.

Brave New World contains so much philosophy of note that it is unsurprising that Huxley's integration of Buddhist elements might go unnoticed. Indeed, amidst Huxley's social commentary, his biting satire, and his critiques of technology, hedonism, and sexual simplicity among others, it is easy to circumnavigate his comparatively pedestrian Buddhist borrowings. It may be in these Buddhist elements, however, that many of Brave New World 's essential truths are revealed. While Brave New World perhaps cannot quite comfortably be termed an endorsement of the Buddhist way, while the Buddhist system of thought is not necessarily the focus of the novel, and while the novel can be meaningfully discussed in other contexts..... the added significance revealed by the super imposition of Siddhartha Gautama upon it should not be overlooked. Brave New World explores many facts of Buddhist culture, beliefs and ideals in one form or the other.

The present book aims at discussing critically the autobiographical tones in the fiction of Charles Bukowski with special reference to his two famous novels Ham on Rye and Women. An attempt has been made to examine how truly he could, through his characters and their peculiar situations express his autobiographical facts in these novels. Bukowski created a literary persona named Henry Chinaski as a vessel for expressing his alternative view of the world, to a large extent concerned with commenting on the role of the artist in the society, the stultifying dullness and conformity of the 'day-job', the comic dimensions of sexual relationships, the often unpleasant realities of poverty and chronic drunkenness, and the constant struggle of the alienated individual to assert his non-conformist identity. The book traces the development of Chinaski's non-conformist personality from Ham On Rye, based on Bukowski's youth in Los Angeles during the Depression, to Women, where Bukowski focuses on relationships and sex.

This study is an examination of James's attitude to affluence and leisure. Concentrating upon James's two major novels- The Portrait of a Lady and The Wings of the Dove- this study is an attempt to study the two facets - affluence and leisure-in all the shades as taken by Henry James. Affluence and leisure play a major role in almost all the novels of Henry James. The characters that James deals with belong to the affluent class having nearly total leisure. They are the sophisticated ones possessing fine intelligence and manners. Even the situations in the various works arise and take place in accordance with his theme of affluence and leisure. James's dealing with these two themes in major part of his works reveals his strength as a writer. In the context of these James explores the life of the affluent people having ample leisure to enjoy. He provides an insight into the life and psychology of these people. Affluence generally is associated with moral grossness, crass materialism and moral decadence. But for Henry James affluence has altogether a different sense. He tries to extract the best from affluence.

Erectile dysfunction(impotence)is the inability to get and maintain an erection that is sufficient for satisfactory sexual intercourse.The development and validation of bio-analytical method suitable for the quantification of drugs in biological matrices was assessed.The method was validated over a concentration range of 5.00ng/mlto1491.74 ng/ml for the drug in healthy adult male human subjects under fed and fasting conditions.. This validation report provides the results of selectivity, matrix effect, sensitivity, linearity, calibration curve standards and quality control samples data, precision and accuracy data, goodness of fit.Pharmacokinetic parameters, bioequivalence parameters, stabilities and food effect were obtained following administration of 100 mg oral dose of the drug for both test and reference product. In fed condition drug is absorbed slowly as compared to fasting condition. The test formulation under fed condition is not bioequivalent with reference formulation in terms of Cmax. In the food effect study, foods lower down the rate of the absorption but the extentis similar.It delayed the mean T, produced a small reduction in K and increasei
