University of Pennsylvania, US'An exceptionally comprehensive and
superbly scholarly volume on the emerging research on customer
equity. It is a rare collection of world class scholars who have
contributed to this' Handbook.' - Jagdish N. Sheth, Emory
University, US Customer equity has emerged as the most important
metric to manage firm performance and value. The Handbook of
Research on Customer Equity in Marketing explores the tactical and
strategic issues related to understanding, measuring, managing and
implementing this tool. Customer equity is the total combined
customer lifetime values of all of a company's customers and
includes Value Equity, Brand Equity and Relationship Equity. It
determines the true value of a company in that it considers the
future revenue of the customer base relative to other companies.
Through a combination of perspectives, this Handbook analyzes the
topic and considers risk alongside strategy and offers
state-of-the-art research on the field. Covering all bases, it
begins with exploring the evolution of customer equity and
concludes with implications of customer equity implication for the
future. Drawing upon the wisdom of a global pool of leading
scholars, this Handbook serves as a comprehensive and authoritative
guide on customer equity for marketing scholars, practitioners, and
students. Contributors: L. Aksoy, E.T.Anderson, R.N. Bolton, A.

Srinivasa Ramanujan was a mathematician brilliant beyond comparison
who inspired many great mathematicians. There is extensive
literature available on the work of Ramanujan. But what is missing
in the literature is an analysis that would place his mathematics
in context and interpret it in terms of modern developments. The 12
lectures by Hardy, delivered in 1936, served this purpose at the
time they were given. This book presents Ramanujan's essential
mathematical contributions and gives an informal account of some of
the major developments that emanated from his work in the 20th and
21st centuries. It contends that his work still has an impact on
many different fields of mathematical research. This book examines
some of these themes in the landscape of 21st-century mathematics.
These essays, based on the lectures given by the authors focus on a
subset of Ramanujan's significant papers and show how these papers
shaped the course of modern mathematics.

The recent advances in aerospace vehicle technology demands the
best possible propulsive balance to provide better thrust and
minimum drag. Air-breathing engines are the best choice for the
propulsion due to its minimum weight. The efficiency of such
engines depend upon the quality of air entering for combustion.
This book provides complete flow analysis of both pure
inline-compression and mixed-compression inlets. Two dimensional
simulations were carried out with SST k- model using FLUENT. The
boundary layer formed inner side of the engine had an adverse
pressure gradient on the ramp producing a boundary layer
separation. Due to this the boundary layer thickens and the static
pressure starts to decrease whose effect leads till the trailing
edge of inlet. Small wedge shaped Micro-Vortex Generator (MVG)
inside the inlet smoothen the generated shock-boundary layers and
thereby an efficient compression is obtained . The analysis should
help shed some light on hypersonic inlet design optimization at
off-design condition and should be especially useful to researchers
and academicians in the field of Aerospace Engineering."
This monograph deals with some of the latest results in nonlinear
mechanics, obtained recently by the use of a modernized version of
Bogoljubov's method of successive changes of variables which
ensures rapid convergence. This method visualised as early as 1934
by Krylov and Bogoljubov provides an effective tool for solving
many interesting problems of nonlinear mechanics. It led, in
particular, to the solution of the problem of the existence of a
quasi periodic regime, with the restriction that approximate
solutions obtained in the general case involved divergent series.
Recently, making use of the research of Kolmogorov and Arno'ld,
Bogoljubov has modernised the method of successive substitutions in
such a way that the convergence of the corresponding expansions is
ensured. This book consists of a short Introduction and seven
chapters. The first chapter presents the results obtained by
BogoIjubov in 1963 on the extension of the method of successive
substitutions and the study of quasi periodic solutions applied to
non-conservative systems (inter alia making explicit the dependence
of these solutions on the parameter, indicating methods of
obtaining asymptotic and convergent series for them, etc.)."

Murty xi Introduction Since the time of Dirichlet and Riemann, the
analytic properties of L-functions have been used to establish
theorems of a purely arithmetic nature. The dist- bution of prime
numbers in arithmetic progressions is intimately connected with
non-vanishing properties of various L-functions. With the
subsequent advent of the Tauberian theory as developed by Wiener
and Ikehara, these arithmetical t- orems have been shown to be
equivalent to the non-vanishing of these L-functions on the line
Re(s)=1. In the 1950's, a new theme was introduced by Birch and
Swinnerton-Dyer. Given an elliptic curve E over a number ?eld K of
?nite degree over Q, they associated an L-function to E and
conjectured that this L-function extends to an entire function and
has a zero at s = 1 of order equal to the Z-rank of the group of
K-rational points of E. In particular, the L-function vanishes at
s=1ifand only if E has in?nitely many K-rational points.
Over the last few decades new data on the distribution,
pathogenicity, diagnosis, treatment and control of trematode
infections and diseases in man and animals, including zoonotic
trematodiasis, have emerged from various geographical regions.
These new data are compiled in this book together with existing
information to fulfil the present need. Seven major
trematode-induced disease groups, namely, schistosomiasis,
paragonimiasis, fascioliasis and fasciolopsiasis, dicrocoeliasis
and eurytremiasis, clonorchiasis and opisthorchiasis,
paramphistomiasis, and diseases due to intestinal trematode
infections are dealt with in this book. These diseases still rank
as a major cause of morbidity and mortality - both in man and in
livestock - mainly in the tropics, and contribute to the
socio-economic problems. Many of these diseases are also zoonoses,
some major and others potential. The intended readership of this
treatise include postgraduate students of medical and veterinary
parasitology, research workers as well as medical practitioners,
veterinarians, tropical diseases specialists, veterinary public
health specialists and teachers concerned with trematode infections
and trematodiasis of man and animals.
The present book is written for those researchers who are
interested in designing a low-cost, low- power Wireless Sensor
Network (WSN). In this book, design and development of a low cost
WSN node using MSP430 microcontroller and nRF24L01 radio
transceiver has been given in detail. A new adaptive power
algorithm has been developed, which further reduces the power
consumption of this node. The evaluation of WSN node has been done
for various tests including routing algorithms, packet loss
measurement, receiver sensitivity and calculation of free space
loss. A case study of Car Parking Management System has been
described as a practical application of WSN. The developed WSN has
potential applications in the fields of military surveillance,
seismic detection, environmental monitoring, underground coal mine
and medical instrumentation.
Customer Lifetime Value - The Path to Profitability reviews the CLV
metric in particular. Approaches to computing CLV and the concept
of customer equity are discussed in detail. Specifically, this
monograph provides the methods of measuring CLV, the strategies for
developing customer-centric strategies, the implementation of CLV
strategies in a B2B and B2C setting, and the challenges faced by an
organization in implementing a CLV-based framework. The author
details the importance of CLV as a metric in a marketer's toolkit
and how it is relevant to managing customers. Customer Lifetime
Value - The Path to Profitability answers the following questions:
.What is the value of a customer? .Can customers be evaluated based
only on their past contribution to the firm? .Which metric is
better in identifying the future worth of the customer? These are
the questions a firm has to deal with before assessing the value of
its customers. The author shows that the value of a customer is the
value the customer brings to the firm over their lifetime.
Therefore, we need a metric that can objectively measure future
profitability of the customer to the firm. Customer lifetime value
(CLV) helps managers make informed business decisions.
This book brings together technical expertise, best practices, case
studies and ground-level application of the ideas for empowering
the rural population of the world to live economically prosperous,
environmentally sustainable, and socially progressive lives, on par
or comparable with the quality of life enjoyed by the global urban
population. The idea of Smart Villages takes on greater urgency in
light of the investments made in this millennium on "Smart Cities",
taking advantage of the technological advances, particularly in
digital connectivity. These investments have and will continue to
expand the urban-rural divide, unless similar investments are made
in the villages as well. The book provides a much-needed guide for
a holistic development of a Smart Village, by defining the need,
developing the framework, and describing the delivery, complete
with successful case studies. Contributors to the book, from
Canada, USA, Africa and India bring years of academic, industry and
governmental experience, including organization of several Smart
Village conferences. The knowledge base in the book will be of
great value to anyone interested in or active in rural planning,
including governmental and non-governmental organizations,
industrial solution providers, public healthcare professionals,
public policy professionals and students, as well as rural
communities around the world. Consolidates all the aspects of
creating/developing a Smart Village; Delivers an effective tool-kit
for practitioners in the area of Smart Villages; Provides a
policy-based framework for the development of an ideal Smart
Village; Illustrates, through case studies, the fulfillment of key
requirements of a Smart Village; Brings together experts from
around the world to share their vision of a Smart Village;
Highlights the importance of balancing development with
social/gender equity and cultural traditions.
This new book offers important research for software and hardware
developed to produce and process materials using higher-level
automatic and intelligent systems.
Advances in technology are making massive data sets common in many
scientific disciplines, such as astronomy, medical imaging,
bio-informatics, combinatorial chemistry, remote sensing, and
physics. To find useful information in these data sets, scientists
and engineers are turning to data mining techniques. This book is a
collection of papers based on the first two in a series of
workshops on mining scientific datasets. It illustrates the
diversity of problems and application areas that can benefit from
data mining, as well as the issues and challenges that
differentiate scientific data mining from its commercial
counterpart. While the focus of the book is on mining scientific
data, the work is of broader interest as many of the techniques can
be applied equally well to data arising in business and web
applications. Audience: This work would be an excellent text for
students and researchers who are familiar with the basic principles
of data mining and want to learn more about the application of data
mining to their problem in science or engineering.
