The development of software system with acceptable level of
reliability and quality within available time frame and budget
becomes a challenging objective. This objective could be achieved
to some extent through early prediction of number of faults present
in the software, which reduces the cost of development as it
provides an opportunity to make early corrections during
development process. The book presents an early software
reliability prediction model that will help to grow the reliability
of the software systems by monitoring it in each development phase,
i.e. from requirement phase to testing phase. Different approaches
are discussed in this book to tackle this challenging issue. An
important approach presented in this book is a model to classify
the modules into two categories (a) fault-prone and (b) not
fault-prone. The methods presented in this book for assessing
expected number of faults present in the software, assessing
expected number of faults present at the end of each phase and
classification of software modules in fault-prone or no fault-prone
category are easy to understand, develop and use for any
practitioner. The practitioners are expected to gain more
information about their development process and product
reliability, which can help to optimize the resources used.
This book offers a detailed narrative of Dalit migrants' everyday
experience in urban areas with regard to the availability and
accessibility of welfare services and state institutions. It
discusses caste, specifically the identity of integration for Dalit
migrants and the social work profession to integrate a marginalized
community. Further, the book also highlights social, political,
cultural, and economic changes among Dalit migrants in cities. The
book traces the trajectory of Dalit migrants and captures their
mobility from rural to urban areas, which is a complex economic and
social phenomenon. In consideration of this complexity, the author
explores the process of migration in its finer details through a
focus on lived experiences of Dalit migrants in cities. Dalits
often migrate to cities in search of better employment and
livelihood opportunities because their occupations are invariably
associated with their caste in villages. This book investigates the
role of caste-based identity in Dalit migrants’ emancipation and
integration in cities. In addition, the book examines the role of
caste in the exclusion of Dalit migrants in cities and explains the
dynamic nature of the 'state' and Dalit migrants' assertion. Among
the topics covered in the book's seven chapters: Mumbai/Bombay:
Migration, Caste, and Dalits Caste and Migration: The City—A Site
for ‘Inclusion’ and Emancipation Entitlement, Deprivation, and
Basic Services: Everyday Experience of Dalit Migrants with the
State Dalit Migrants: Assertion, Emancipation, and Social
Change is intended for students, academicians, and
researchers in social work, migration studies, labour studies,
development studies, population science, and economics.
Developmental professionals also will be keen to read the book.
This book explores the potential of nanosystems as a
multidisciplinary science with the aim of the design and
development of smart sensing technologies using micro/nano
electrodes and novel nanosensing material. It discusses their
integration with MEMS, miniaturized transduction systems, novel

Engineered Nanostructures for Therapeutics and Biomedical
Applications offers a single reference for a diverse biomedical
readership to learn about the application of nanotechnology in
biomedicine and biomedical engineering, from past developments to
current research and future prospects. This book sets out a broad
selection of biomedical and therapeutic applications for
nanostructures, including bioimaging, nanorobotics, orthopedics,
and tissue engineering, offering a useful, multidisciplinary
approach. Each chapter discusses challenges faced in each
discipline, including limiting factors, biocompatibility, and
toxicity, thus enabling the reader to make informed decisions in
their research. This book is a comprehensive, broad overview of the
role and significance of nanomaterials and their composites that
also includes discussions of key aspects in the field of
biomedicine. It will be of significant interest to academics and
researchers in materials science and engineering, biomedicine and
biomedical engineering, chemical engineering, pharmaceutics,
bioimaging, and nanorobotics.

Different chemical substances as well as several physical and
biological parameters can be detected through measurements of the
refractive index (RI). For this reason, RI sensors have gained
considerable attention by the sensor community. Fiber-based
refractometric devices are attractive, owing to the inherent
advantages over their counterparts based on other techniques. For
example, they can be multiplexed on a single fiber network and are
suitable for in situ and remote RI measurements. Moreover, they are
compact and lightweight. In addition, the amount of sample needed
to carry out the measurements can be very small. The resolution of
fiber-based RI sensors can be as high as 10 to the power 5. So far,
different alternatives have been proposed to design RI sensors with
conventional optical fibers. These include core-exposed or tapered
fibers, fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs), long period gratings (LPGs),
interferometers made with FBGs or LPGs, Refractive index sensors
based on core diameter mismatch etc. The advent of micro structured
optical fibers has also opened new possibilities for RI sensing.
