Molecular docking plays an important role in the process of drug
discovery; specifically in virtual screening of combinatorial
libraries and optimization of the lead compounds. The ability to
model and predict the binding sites of proteins on one hand and in
silico screening of large number of compounds on the other hand has
encouraged the development of new algorithms and streatgies for
docking programs. While docking does not completely eliminate the
need for experiments, lab-on-chip type of approaches coupled with
computational high throughput screening have been a boon to the
drug discovery activity. It will help in reducing the cost of novel
drug development. In the current book on computational drug
discovery, we described small information about the case study of
drug development against Tuberculosis and Herpes diseases. In later
case study, we provided detail description about protein modeling
to natural drug finding against Cholera disease.

A feast of colour and texture, Chila Burman's first major monograph
celebrates one of Britain's most exciting contemporary artists and
her extraordinary body of work from across four decades. Chila
Burman is a British Asian artist known for her radical feminist
practice, her joyful neon light installations and her use of
kaleidoscopic colours. Since the mid 1980s her work has explored
the experiences and aesthetics of Asian femininity and female
empowerment, and the impact of imperialism, colonialism, race and
class. Informed by popular culture, Indian mythology and Bollywood,
fashion and found objects, her work has consistently strived to
challenge stereotypes and to champion equality. This book, the
first major monograph on the artist, will bring together Burman’s
extraordinary body of work from across four decades. Featuring
paintings and installations, photography and prints, video and film
works, and a range of diverse voices, it explores the ideas central
to Burman’s practice, as well as her unique style.
Discovery of one-dimensional material carbon nanotubes in 1991 by
the Japanese physicist Dr. Sumio Iijima has resulted in voluminous
research in the field of carbon nanotubes for numerous
applications, including possible replacement of silicon used in the
fabrication of CMOS chips. One interesting feature of carbon
nanotubes is that these can be metallic or semiconducting with a
bandgap depending on their diameter. In search of non-classical
devices and related technologies, both carbon nanotube-based
field-effect transistors and metallic carbon nanotube interconnects
are being explored extensively for emerging logic devices and very
large-scale integration. Although various models for carbon
nanotube-based transistors and interconnects have been proposed in
the literature, an integrated approach to make them compatible with
the present simulators is yet to be achieved. This book makes an
attempt in this direction for the carbon-based electronics through
fundamentals of solid-state physics and devices.
Blurring the boundaries between academic and cultural production,
this book produces a new understanding of the world significance of
South Asian culture in multi-racist societies. One of the first
sustained attempts to situate such production within the study of
race and identity, it uncovers the crucial role that contemporary
South Asian dance music has played in the formation of a new urban
cultural politics. The book opens by positing new theoretical
understandings of South Asian cultural representation that move
beyond essentialist ethnicity in the cultural studies literature.
Contributors narrate the formation of South Asian expressive
culture coming emerging from the highly charged context of UK Black
politics. Part three assumes the task of historical recovery,
looking at the antecedents of political South Asian musical
performance, autonomous anti-racist organising and problems of
alliance with the white Left. Part four engages with the movements
and translations of cultural productions across the world - not
just in Britain or South Asia, but also Canada, North America,
Fiji, Malaysia, Australia, West Africa, Europe, but particularly in
the fractured spaces of a postcolonial Britain in decline.
