Soft Computing is a complex of methodologies that embraces
approximate reasoning, imprecision, uncertainty and partial truth
in order to mimic the remarkable human capability of making
decisions in real-life, ambiguous environments. Soft Computing has
therefore become popular in developing systems that encapsulate
human expertise. Applications of Soft Computing: Recent Trends
contains a collection of papers that were presented at the 10th
Online World Conference on Soft Computing in Industrial
Applications, held in September 2005. This carefully edited book
provides a comprehensive overview of the recent advances in the
industrial applications of soft computing and covers a wide range
of application areas, including optimisation, data analysis and
data mining, computer graphics and vision, prediction and
diagnosis, design, intelligent control, and traffic and
transportation systems. The book is aimed at researchers and
professional engineers who are engaged in developing and applying
intelligent systems. It is also suitable as wider reading for
science and engineering postgraduate students.

WSC2008Chair's Welcome Message Dear Colleague, The World Soft
Computing (WSC) conference is an annual international online
conference on applied and theoretical soft computing technology.
This WSC 2008 is the thirteenth conference in this series and it
has been a great success. We received a lot of excellent paper
submissions which were peer-reviewed by an international team of
experts. Only60 papers out of111 submissions were selected for
online publication. This assured a high quality standard for this
online conference. The corresponding online statistics are a proof
of the great world-wide interest in the WSC 2008 conference. The
conference website had a total of33,367di?erent human user
accessesfrom43 countries with around100 visitors every day,151
people signed up to WSC to discuss their scienti?c disciplines in
our chat rooms and the forum. Also audio and slide presentations
allowed a detailed discussion of the papers. The submissions and
discussions showed that there is a wide range of soft computing
applications to date. The topics covered by the conference range
from applied to theoretical aspects of fuzzy, neuro-fuzzy and rough
sets over to neural networks to single and multi-objective
optimisation. Contributions aboutparticleswarmoptimisation,
geneexpressionprogramming, clustering, classi?cation,
supportvectormachines, quantumevolutionandagentsystems have also
been received. One whole session was devoted to soft computing
techniques in computer graphics, imaging, vision and signal
processing.
Graphene Bioelectronics covers the expending field of graphene
biomaterials, a wide span of biotechnological breakthroughs,
opportunities, possibilities and challenges. It is the first book
that focuses entirely on graphene bioelectronics, covering the
miniaturization of bioelectrode materials, bioelectrode interfaces,
high-throughput biosensing platforms, and systemic approaches for
the development of electrochemical biosensors and bioelectronics
for biomedical and energy applications. The book also showcases key
applications, including advanced security, forensics and
environmental monitoring. Thus, the evolution of these scientific
areas demands innovations in crosscutting disciplines, starting
from fabrication to application. This book is an important
reference resource for researchers and technologists in graphene
bioelectronics-particularly those working in the area of harvest
energy biotechnology-employing state-of-the-art bioelectrode
materials techniques.
Environmental education is life long process with the objectives of
importing to its target group in the formal and non formal
education sectors environmental awareness ecological knowledge,
attitude values commitment for actions and ethical responsibilities
for rational use of resources and for sound & sustainable
development. Environmental education emphasis the teaching of the
holistic nature of environment through interdisciplinary and
problem solving approaches. The primary school is the natural place
to introduce children to environmental education, since at this
level they instinctively have holistic view of the environment.
They have yet not been trained to compartmentalize their learning
into separate subject as they will have to do in secondary &
higher education. Introducing critical thinking & problem
solving approaches in Environmental education especially in Primary
School level, is fundamental if students are to become skillful in
the identification and solution of environment problems as student
and later on as adult citizen and possible decision makers.
Education is a basic human right that increases the economic,
social and political opportunities available to men and women.
After independence the Indian Government has expressed a strong
commitment towards education for all. It is too obvious that Uttar
Pradesh (State) is a truly diverse state representing diversity not
only in geographical locations but in socio-cultural aspects too.
It is a micro-study of a KGBV (Katuraba Gandhi Balika Vidhyalaya)
to get more realistic picture. Eastern U.P. has its own historical,
political, economic and social-cultural characteristics and has
more cultural barriers for girls education. Thus a KGBV located in
district Ballia is selected. Hence it is pertinent to enquire that
what the contributions are of this scheme in providing academic
support to disadvantaged girls in terms of teaching-learning
atmosphere and what are the levels of achievement of girls studying
in KGBVs? Besides these after the National Evaluation 2007 new
revised guidelines for the implementation of KGBVs are laid down by
the Government of India.The study focus on the availability and
quality of physical
Bio-nanocomposites form a unique class of a research area that
integrates biology, chemistry, materials science, engineering and
nanotechnology to present an interdisciplinary approach for solving
of problems. In today's world, bio-nanocomposites are becoming
increasingly prevalent due to the extraordinary properties that
they possess. Scientists learn to select suitable matrices (eg:
aliphatic polyesters, polypeptides and proteins, polysaccharides,
and polynucleic acids) and fillers (eg: nanotubes, nanofibers, clay
nanoparticles, hydroxyapetite and metal nanoparticles) and alter
their chemistry and structure to suit the target field. This book
provides the most recent research made in the field of
bio-nanocomposites as applied to biomedical fields including
drug-delivery, biosensors, cancer diagnosis, and tissue
engineering.
This book intends to provide an up-to-date introduction to the
fascinating field of carbohydrate polymers and their development,
properties and applications. The focus of the book is on the basic
concepts and recent developments in the field, particularly in the
areas of structure, synthesis and processing, characterisations,
advanced-state properties, and applications. The book is written
for a large readership including university students and
researchers from diverse backgrounds such as chemistry, materials
science, physics, biological science and engineering. It can be
used not only as a text book for both undergraduate and graduate
students, but also as a review and reference book for researchers
in the polymers, bioengineering, pharmacy, biotechnology and
nanotechnology.
Smart polymers for biomedical applications are presently one
focuses in biomedical materials research. Smart polymers are
becoming increasingly more prevalent as scientists learn about the
chemistry and triggers that induce conformational changes in
polymer structures and devise ways to take advantage of, and
control them. New polymeric materials are being chemically
formulated that sense specific environmental changes in biological
systems, and adjust in a predictable manner, making them useful
tools for drug delivery, tissue engineering, biosensor design,
wound healing and other metabolic control mechanisms. In this
relatively new area of biotechnology, many advances are made in the
recent years, but no latest books or edited collections have well
summarised the recent advances. This book is the only book that has
latest research developments on smart-polymeric materials for
biomedical applications which include drug delivery, tissue
engineering, biosensors, wound healing and many other allied
fields.
