Amit Gupta directs this adaptation of Owen Sheers' debut novel
starring Andrea Riseborough and Michael Sheen. It's 1944 and D-Day
has failed. The United Kingdom is now under Nazi occupation. In the
remote Welsh village of Olchon, farmer's wife Sarah Lewis
(Riseborough) wakes up one morning to find her husband has
mysteriously disappeared along with all the other men in the
village. Then, as they wait for news, a German patrol arrives in
their valley on an undisclosed mission. During the harsh winter
that follows, the two groups are forced to pull together to survive
the last days of the war. Cut off from the conflict around them,
both the villagers and the Nazis find the lines between
collaboration, duty, occupation and survival becoming less defined
as time goes on...
Scholars and policy makers have traditionally viewed portions of
the Indian Ocean and the Western Pacific as separate and discrete
political, economic, and military regions. In recent years,
however, a variety of economic, political, and military forces have
made many within the academic community, as well as a growing
number of national governmental leaders, change their perceptions
and recognize that these maritime expanses are one zone of global
interaction. Consequently, political, military, and economic
developments in one maritime region increasingly have an impact
elsewhere. Analyzing and assessing the contemporary maritime
challenges in the Indian Ocean and the Western Pacific, this
valuable study highlights the current prospects for peace and
security in what is rapidly becoming recognized as an integrated
and interactive political, military-strategic, and economic
environment. This work will be of interest to researchers and
policy makers involved in regional studies, as well as security
studies, conflict resolution, military, and peace studies.
A vital component of the interdependent global economy, maritime
transit routes are nowhere more critical than those traversing the
Indian Ocean and the Western Pacific. Previously, areas of the
Indian Ocean and Western Pacific have been viewed as separate and
discrete political, economic, and military regions. In recent
years, however, a variety of economic, political, and military
forces have created a new understanding of these maritime expanses
as one zone of global interaction. This book complements the
material presented in its companion volume, Maritime Security in
the Indian Ocean and the Western Pacific, by analysing the
perceptions, interests, objectives, maritime capabilities, and
policies of the major maritime powers operating in the Indian Ocean
and the Western Pacific. In addition, the book also assesses the
contemporary maritime challenges and opportunities that confront
the global community within what is rapidly becoming recognised as
an integrated zone of global interaction. A valuable study for
researchers and policymakers working in the fields of maritime
security; military, security and peace studies; conflict
resolution; and Asian affairs.
What do the major states of Asia view as the emerging challenges in
their immediate security environment as well as in the broader
Asian region? What future security outcomes would make them believe
that strategic stability had been achieved in the Asian continent?
Central to the latter question is China and the path it will take
to rise to superpower status. While all the major Asian states
increasingly are both economically and politically engaged with
China, doubts remain about China's long-term intentions. This
volume discusses the military, diplomatic and economic measures
being taken by the major Asian countries and Australia to establish
a new framework for strategic stability. In the process, the
contributors examine the global pressures that are impacting on
these countries' security dilemmas and, from the perspective of
these countries, the patterns of expected behaviour that China
would have to fulfil for a regional security order to emerge in
Asia.

Amit Gupta seeks to address two interrelated questions in this
volume: what do the major states of Asia view as the emerging
challenges in their immediate security environment as well as in
the broader Asian region; and what future security outcomes would
make them believe that strategic stability had been achieved in the
Asian continent. Central to the latter question is China and the
path it will take to rise to superpower status. While all the major
Asian states increasingly are both economically and politically
engaged with China, doubts remain about China's long-term
intentions. This volume discusses what military, diplomatic, and
economic measures are being taken by the major Asian countries and
Australia to establish a new framework for strategic stability. In
doing so the authors look at what global pressures are impacting on
these countries' security dilemmas and furthermore, from the
perspective of these countries, what patterns of expected behavior
would China have to fulfill for a regional security order to emerge
in Asia.

A daughter tries to reunite her warring family in this food-centred
comedy set in Leicester's 'Little India'. After falling out in
spectacular fashion, brothers Raja (Harish Patel) and Jagi
(Kulvinder Ghir), who both happen to be chefs, decide to divide up
the family recipe book and open rival restaurants across the street
from one another. With one brother concentrating on starters and
the other on main courses, the rivalry continues unabated for the
next 20 years. But when Raja's daughter Shalini (Amara Karan)
decides to plan her wedding to fiancé Mark (Tom Mison), she sees it
as an ideal opportunity for her father and uncle to finally bury
the hatchet by having them both cook on her big day.
This issues provides a comprehensive description of standard and
alternative exposures of shoulder, arm, elbow, forearm and hand

points. The focus of the second section is on soft tissue coverage
of the upper extremity.
This new volume in the Global Security Watch series examines the
contemporary foreign, military, and security policies of India as
it moves towards becoming a formidable global power in the coming
decades. India is poised to join the major nations of the world as
one of the next superpowers in the multi-polar, 21st-century world.
At the same time, it still faces significant domestic problems such
as widespread poverty and public health issues, and faces
considerable security threats posed by China and Pakistan. Author
Amit Gupta, PhD, an esteemed scholar and expert on foreign policy
and weapons proliferation in South Asia, argues that India's quest
to attain a superpower status will depend on how it develops its
relationships with the other leading nations. Another determining
factor for India's success lies in its ability to create a more
advantageous security environment in the immediate Indian Ocean
region. Global Security Watch-India tackles complex topics such as
future Indian foreign and security policy options and the
corresponding implications for U.S. policy, how the India-China
relationship affects relations among other Asian countries, and the
capabilities of the Indian military-industrial complex. Includes
brief biographies of important figures Contains a chapter that
predicts where India will stand in 2025 Provides a bibliography of
primary sources for additional reading
Anatomical guide leverages exceptional dissection images to
elucidate the biomechanics of the hand and upper extremity The hand
is a unique instrument that executes the commands of the brain and
expresses the nuances of the mind. The Grasping Hand: Structural
and Functional Anatomy of the Hand and Upper Extremity by Amit
Gupta and Makoto Tamai is a state-of-the-art book that details the
functions of the hand to feel, receive, gather, collect and hold,
as well as the complex role that the whole upper extremity plays in
enabling these actions. The anatomical structures intrinsic to
these functions are detailed through illuminating cadaveric
dissections and succinct text. Organized in 5 sections and 38
chapters, the book begins with a chapter detailing the intriguing
history of hand anatomy, followed by a section encompassing the
structural and functional fundamentals. The third section covers
general anatomy and function, with discussions of the nerves and
vascularity of the upper extremity, as well as the brachial plexus.
The fourth section features 26 anatomically organized chapters from
the shoulder to the fingertip with anatomical and functional
insights on the joints, fascia and retinacula, interosseus
membrane, tendons and more. The single chapter comprising the final
section covers imaging and anatomy. Key Highlights Pioneers in
modern hand surgery share vast collective knowledge and pearls on
hand and upper extremity anatomy and biomechanics Over 1,100
exquisite, original dissections of lightly embalmed fresh cadaveric
arms provide unique visual insights about underlying tissues and
structures High quality, never before published original
photographs enhance understanding of anatomy, physiology, and
pathology This practical resource is ideal for reviewing anatomy
and biomechanics prior to performing hand, wrist, arm, elbow, and
shoulder surgery, making it essential reading for orthopaedic
surgeons, fellows, and hand specialists. This book is also useful
for students of human anatomy, physical and occupational
therapists, medical students, and anyone interested in upper
extremity anatomy and function. This book includes complimentary
access to a digital copy on https://medone.thieme.com.
This monograph examines the U.S.-India security relationship and
argues that significant differences in their worldviews precludes
the development of a strong strategic relationship at present.
However, India's continued economic and military growth, as well as
its ongoing commitment towards secularism and democracy, makes it a
future ally towards establishing strategic stability in Asia and in
assisting future nation-building efforts across the globe. In the
short run, therefore, the relationship should be based on securing
complementary interests: ensuring stability in the Indian Ocean;
democracy across the world; and getting the Indian government to
work proactively to prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass
destruction and their associated systems.
Market for advanced drug delivery systems has undergone a period of
innovation and significant expansion over the past decade.In this
context worldwide market for transmucosal products is in excess of
five billion annually and is expected to continue to grow at a
rapid pace.Hence transmucosal drug delivery holds lot of promise in
the coming era. Amongst various transmucosal routes buccal region
of the oral cavity has got optimal attributes for transmucosal and
modified drug delivery and has lot of promise and commercial
viability.Present work encompasses development of extended release
formulation of an antihypertensive drug Nisoldipine using
bioadhesive polymers, to improve the bioavailability along with
minimal variation in the therapeutic response. Nisoldipine is a
calcium channel blocker of the dihydropyridine class. Nisoldipine
is an ideal candidate for this work as its bioavailability is 4-8%
and has high inter and intrasubject variability in response.Studies
include formulation development using Progressive Hydration
Technology, optimizing and validating the formulation approaches,
stability studies and in-vivo evaluation in rabbits.
Low power, high speed binary multiplier is an essential component
of digital computers. Many architectures of multiplier based on
Booth multiplication and array multiplication algorithms have been
implemented. The array multiplier using Wallace tree structure is
reported to be fastest and requiring minimum hardware. The speed of
a binary multiplier is dominantly determined by the speed of adders
used in the multiplier. This work describes a new 20-transistor low
power high speed hybrid CMOS full adder and a new carry skip adder
suitable for use in multipliers. A new modular design method for
design of n x n multipliers using Vedic algorithm for
multiplication has been proposed. The proposed design method uses
more number of gates than array multiplier using Wallace tree but
offers the advantages of simple and systematic interconnection
scheme and maximum design reuse.
Written in a practical style, this book uses the Linux shell in

installing and configuring Koha easy and straightforward. All
chapters are written in a way that makes them applicable to various
Linux distributions. This book is aimed at Linux system
administrators who need to install and maintain Koha. If you are a
system administrator who wants to set up an open source integrated
library system, then this book is for you. It will also be useful
for system administrators who require help with specific aspects of
implementing Koha.
I strongly belief that the route to customer satisfaction is
through employees, especially for service businesses where customer
interface is a critical part of the delivery process. The current
book builds on the research on positive influence of employees'
perceptions of service climate and service quality on customer
satisfaction. We test a model between employees' perceptions of
service climate, capability, quality and employee service
behaviors, with customer satisfaction in a State Government agency.
Results show that management practices related to coordination and
service emphasis positively impact employee service capabilities.
Employee service behaviors and service capability positively impact
employees' perceptions of service quality. Only employee service
behaviors have an impact on customers' perceptions of service
quality. No relationships were found between employees' perceptions
of service capability or service quality with customers'
perceptions of service quality. Results using HLM indicate that HR
practices, service emphasis, service behaviors and service
capability positively impact and interpersonal relationships
negatively impact customer satisfaction.
Viewed against a background of immense change, normal management
function such as business forecasting, planning, strategusing and
decision making have assumed a complex dimension. Organisations
which survive and flourish in the new economy are those in which
the managers learn to cope with these ever increasing complexities.
