Scientific Basis for Ayurvedic Therapies (Hardcover, New): Lakshmi C. Mishra Scientific Basis for Ayurvedic Therapies (Hardcover, New)

Arguably the oldest form of health care, Ayurveda is often referred to as the "Mother of All Healing." Although there has been considerable scientific research done in this area during the last 50 years, the results of that research have not been adequately disseminated. Meeting the need for an authoritative, evidence-based reference, Scientific Basis for Ayurvedic Therapies is the first book to analyze and synthesize current research supporting Ayurvedic medicine.

This book reviews the latest scientific information, evaluates the research data, and presents it in an easy to use format. The editor has carefully selected topics based on the availability of scientific studies and the prevalence of a disease. With contributions from experts in their respective fields, topics include Ayurvedic disease management, panchkarma, Ayurvedic bhasmas, the current status of Ayurveda in India, clinical research design, and evaluation of typical clinical trials of certain diseases, to name just a few.

While there are many books devoted to Ayurveda, very few have any in-depth basis in scientific studies. This book provides a critical evaluation of literature, clinical trials, and biochemical and pharmacological studies on major Ayurvedic therapies that demonstrates how they are supported by scientific data. Providing a natural bridge from Ayurveda to Western medicine, Scientific Basis for Ayurvedic Therapies facilitates the integration of these therapies by health care providers.

Development of Geocentric Spatial Language and Cognition - An Eco-cultural Perspective (Paperback): Pierre R. Dasen, Ramesh C.... Development of Geocentric Spatial Language and Cognition - An Eco-cultural Perspective (Paperback)
Pierre R. Dasen, Ramesh C. Mishra
R1,147 Discovery Miles 11 470 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Egocentric spatial language uses coordinates in relation to our body to talk about small-scale space ('put the knife on the right of the plate and the fork on the left'), while geocentric spatial language uses geographic coordinates ('put the knife to the east, and the fork to the west'). How do children learn to use geocentric language? And why do geocentric spatial references sound strange in English when they are standard practice in other languages? This book studies child development in Bali, India, Nepal, and Switzerland and explores how children learn to use a geocentric frame both when speaking and performing non-verbal cognitive tasks (such as remembering locations and directions). The authors examine how these skills develop with age, look at the socio-cultural contexts in which the learning takes place, and explore the ecological, cultural, social, and linguistic conditions that favor the use of a geocentric frame of reference.

Luminescence and Luminescent Materials: Volume 667 (Hardcover): Peter C Schmidt, Kailash C Mishra, Baldassare Di Bartolo,... Luminescence and Luminescent Materials: Volume 667 (Hardcover)

Luminescence is presently, and will continue to be, a challenging field of research in materials science, solid-state physics and chemistry. Recent progress in optoelectronic and display technology continues to drive this field in the search for new luminescent materials. Demands on new procedures for synthesis, and understanding underlying luminescence processes in these materials, will create new opportunities for both fundamental and applied research. This book is a compilation of papers, both invited and solicted, from around the world that focus on luminescence and luminescent materials - from theory and modeling, characterization of luminescent materials, and systems with confined structures such as nanocrystallites and quantum wells and dots, to synthesis and device applications.

Haemaphysalis Ticks of India (Paperback): G. Geevarghese, A C Mishra Haemaphysalis Ticks of India (Paperback)
G. Geevarghese, A C Mishra
R3,865 Discovery Miles 38 650 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Ticks are obligate blood sucking arthropods found in almost every region of the world. They are very important vectors of human and animal diseases. Tick-borne protozoan diseases such as Theileriasis and Babesiosis cause mortality and morbidity in domestic animals in many countries including India. An understanding of taxonomy, vector biology and ecology in the geographic regions of each country is essential so that a programme of control measures can be implemented. This book focuses on the ticks found in India and will be invaluable for health authorities, tick biologists and veterinary researchers. It covers taxonomic identification, medical importance and bionomics of haemaphysaline ticks.

Gravity and Magnetic Methods for Geological Studies - Principles, Integrated Exploration and Plate Tectonics (Hardcover, New):... Gravity and Magnetic Methods for Geological Studies - Principles, Integrated Exploration and Plate Tectonics (Hardcover, New)
Dinesh C. Mishra
R8,457 Discovery Miles 84 570 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Gravity and magnetic methods can be directly related to physical properties of rocks, i.e. the density and the susceptibility, and are very useful to field geologists and geophysicists in the mapping and identification of various rock types. They are also used for the detection of minerals with large contrast in density and susceptibility compared to country rock.

This reference volume consists of two parts: The first part describes the basic principles and methodology of the gravity and the magnetic methods of geophysical exploration with global examples. It deals with geological studies and gravity & magnetic methods; geodynamic studies (plate tectonics, crustal structures, plume tectonics); resource exploration (geological mapping, hydrocarbon, mineral and groundwater exploration); environmental studies (seismotectonics, engineering sites, climate changes, mining geophysics, volcanoes and volcanic activity, landslides, impact craters) and different modes of surveying. The second part is dedicated to the Indian Continent and deals with the application of geological data, integrated with other geophysical and geological information. It discusses geodynamics and seismotectonics with respect to the Indian Plate zone, including the Indian Ocean, Himalaya, Tibet and Archean- Proterozoic Cratons and Mobile Belts. It also presents ways for integrated exploration for hydrocarbons, minerals, groundwater and a number of environmental issues relevant in engineering and archaeology.

The accessible style of this unique work will benefit researchers, professionals, advanced students and interested readers in Geophysics, Geology, Economic Geology, Geological Engigeering, Geography, Mineralogy and related disciplines.
