This book is a guide to endocrine surgery for practising and
trainee endocrinologists. Divided into 45 chapters, the text begins
with an overview of applied embryology, physiology, and surgical
anatomy of the endocrine glands. The next section explains thyroid
function tests and their interpretation. Each of the following
chapters covers the surgical management of a different
thyroid-related disorder. The final sections discuss allied topics
including endocrine radiology, pathology, the role of nuclear
medicine in endocrine surgery, and radiotherapy. Each chapter
concludes with clinical pearls to assist learning. With an
internationally recognised editor and author team, the
comprehensive text is highly illustrated with photographs,
radiographic images, flow charts, and diagrams.
Amit Agarwal's thesis reports a substantial contribution to the
microscopic simulation of radiation chemical reactions. In his
research Agarwal extends existing models to further understand
scavenging, spin and relaxation effects. This research has advanced
the development of both the Monte Carlo Random Flights and the
Independent Reaction Times (IRT) simulation tools. Particular
highlights are the extension of these tools to include both the
spin-exchange interaction and spin relaxation, both of which are
influential in radiolytic systems where many reactions are
spin-controlled. In addition, the study has led to the discovery of
a novel correlation of the scavenging rate with the recombination
time in low permittivity solvents. This finding goes against
existing assumptions underlying the theory of diffusion kinetics
while still being accommodated in the IRT method which demonstrates
the power of this unconventional approach. The work in this thesis
can be applied to a wide number of fields including the nuclear
industry, medicine, food treatment, polymer curing, the preparation
of nano-colloids, power generation and waste disposal.
This book presents the select proceedings of the 2nd International
Conference on Transportation Infrastructure Projects: Conception to
Execution (TIPCE 2022) at IIT Roorkee and emphasizes the
understanding of transportation infrastructure projects being
conceptualized, designed, and executed so as to bring the desired
development in the focused area. It comprises case studies from the
transportation sector, construction industries, consulting
agencies, and research and academic institutions. These studies
present the bottlenecks experienced during the implementation of
the projects, from their conceptualization to their execution and
the corrective measures that were incorporated to finish the work.
The book will be a valuable reference for beginners, researchers,
and professionals interested in construction planning and
technology, infrastructure engineering, highway engineering,
traffic and transportation planning and systems.

perspective. Color illustrations, flowcharts and tables make the
topics lucid for professionals. This book provides the essential
information surgeons require for evaluation and management of
patients, both with straight forward, and complex endocrine
problems. Key Features Focusses on concise yet comprehensive,
up-to-date coverage of surgical endocrine diseases Discusses Robot
Assisted Endocrine Surgery and explores its impact on healthcare
finances Highlights the difference between practices used in
western and resource limited countries by incorporating a South
Asian perspective for region specific diseases.

Liquid crystals are known for their fascinating optical properties.
This work describes the experiments on light scattering and
theoretical calculations on nonlinear optics in liquid crystals.
Light scattering is a powerful tool to study the viscoelastic
response of liquid crystals which is an essential parameter for
display industry. Both thermotropic and lyotropic systems were
probed by light scattering. Thermal nonlinearities in cholesteric
liquid crystals are described in this book and various surprising
liquid crystal phase transitions in the presence of a laser beam
are reported. The work described in the book is based on Ph.D. work
carried out by Amit K Agarwal at the Raman Research Institute,
India and all intellectual and other legal rights arising out of
this work are owned by the Institute and they are acknowledged and
protected.
