Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) have become essential
tools in healthcare. They are capable of processing enormous
amounts of data to find patterns and are also adopted into methods
that manage and make sense of healthcare data, either electronic
healthcare records or medical imagery. This book explores how ML/DL
can assist neurologists in identifying, classifying or predicting
neurological problems that require neuroimaging. With the ability
to model high dimensional datasets, supervised learning algorithms
can help in relating brain images to behavioral or clinical
observations and unsupervised learning can uncover hidden
structures/patterns in images. Bringing together both AI experts as
well as medical practitioners, chapters cover the majority of neuro
problems that use neuroimaging for diagnosis, along with case
studies and directions for future research.
Coefficient of Variation (CV) is a unit free index indicating the
consistency of the data associated with a real-world process and is
simple to mold into computational paradigms. This book provides
necessary exposure of computational strategies, properties of CV
and extracting the metadata leading to efficient knowledge
representation. It also compiles representational and
classification strategies based on the CV through illustrative
explanations. The potential nature of CV in the context of
contemporary Machine Learning strategies and the Big Data paradigms
is demonstrated through selected applications. Overall, this book
explains statistical parameters and knowledge representation
models.
Looking beyond exclusively state-oriented solutions to the
management of religious diversity, this book explores ways of
fostering respectful, non-violent and welcoming social relations
among religious communities. It examines the question of how to
balance religious diversity, individual rights and freedoms with a
common national identity and moral consensus. The essays discuss
the interface between state and civil society in 'secular'
countries and look at case studies from the the West and India.
They study themes such as religious education, religious diversity,
pluralism, inter-religious relations and exchanges, dalits and
religion, and issues arising from the lived experience of religious
diversity in various countries. The volume asserts that if
religious violence crosses borders, so do ideas about how to live
together peacefully, theological reflection on pluralism, and lived
practices of friendship across the boundaries of religious
identity-groupings. Bringing together interdisciplinary scholarship
from across the world, the book will interest scholars and students
of philosophy, religious studies, political science, sociology and
history.
This book combines the mainstream liberal arguments for religious
tolerance with arguments from religious traditions in India to
offer insights into appropriate attitudes toward religious 'others'
from the perspective of the devout. The respective chapters address
the relationship between religions from a comparative perspective,
helping readers understand the meaning of religion and the
opportunities for interreligious dialogue in the works of
contemporary Indian philosophers such as Gandhi and Ramakrishna
Paramhansa. It also examines various religious traditions from a
philosophical viewpoint in order to reassess religious discussions
on how to respond to differing and different religious others.
Given its comprehensive coverage, the book is of interest to
scholars working in the areas of anthropology, philosophy, cultural
and religious diversity, and history of religion.
This book presents physics-based electro-thermal models of bipolar
power semiconductor devices including their packages, and describes
their implementation in MATLAB and Simulink. It is a continuation
of our first book Modeling of Bipolar Power Semiconductor Devices.
The device electrical models are developed by subdividing the
devices into different regions and the operations in each region,
along with the interactions at the interfaces, are analyzed using
the basic semiconductor physics equations that govern device
behavior. The Fourier series solution is used to solve the
ambipolar diffusion equation in the lightly doped drift region of
the devices. In addition to the external electrical
characteristics, internal physical and electrical information, such
as junction voltages and carrier distribution in different regions
of the device, can be obtained using the models. The instantaneous
dissipated power, calculated using the electrical device models,
serves as input to the thermal model (RC network with constant and
nonconstant thermal resistance and thermal heat capacity, or
Fourier thermal model) of the entire module or package, which
computes the junction temperature of the device. Once an updated
junction temperature is calculated, the temperature-dependent
semiconductor material parameters are re-calculated and used with
the device electrical model in the next time-step of the
simulation. The physics-based electro-thermal models can be used
for optimizing device and package design and also for validating
extracted parameters of the devices. The thermal model can be used
alone for monitoring the junction temperature of a power
semiconductor device, and the resulting simulation results used as
an indicator of the health and reliability of the semiconductor
power device.
The advancement of technological interventions in food quality
analysis and safety detection has to be inculcated among these
beneficiaries. With a unique blend of both agriculture and animal
food segments, this book is expected to occupy a distinct position
among the various publications in the post harvest sector. The
content of the book is useful both for those looking to begin food
science careers and to established specialists. The various
chapters define safety and quality aspects of plantation crops, the
milling industry, meat, milk, water, fish, bakery, street foods,
etc. The book also enlightens readers about the various hazards
involved in the food supply chain, pre-requisite programmes, GMP,
food safety management systems, and international trading issues.
The PRP approach in food safety management systems has been
elaborated in a comprehensible manner. Pre-requisite programmes,
GAP, GMP and GHP to be implemented before HACCP in meat industry is
well detailed in a chapter along with the applicable statutory and
regulatory requirements. The significance of these pre-requisite
programmes for effective establishment of HACCP in meat processing
are lucidly explained. Note: T&F does not sell or distribute
the Hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri
Lanka. This title is co-published with NIPA.
Technological advances have profoundly influenced the food industry
with deep imprints on food safety and quality. Food safety and
quality assurance demands a huge expertise from food technologists
and an enormous commitment from the food industry. An exquisite
presentation of an array of novel technologies to guarantee safety
and quality in the food supply chain of diverse food composites is
an innovative venture to inspire students, to guide researchers and
to persuade entrepreneurs. Chapters on oil and water quality,
sensory analysis through fuzzy logic, hazards and their detection
in milk, meat, fish and different agricultural produce accentuate
the uniqueness of this book. Emerging technologies for
non-destructive quality analysis, pragmatic approaches to ensure
safety and quality in the milling and baking industry as well as a
comprehensive sketch of regulatory norms for promoting exports are
the notable highlights of this book. HACCP protocols pertinent to
different food industries are vividly depicted. With an enriching
academic background and proven experience, the authors of each
chapter have contributed abundantly to uphold the promise of this
book to be a robust pillar to promote a healthy society. Note:

This book presents contemporary perspectives of scholars working on
different aspects of the philosophy of Sri Aurobindo- the idea of
evolution, integral yoga, the transformation of the individual,
society and earth, theories of nation and human unity, philosophy
of emotions and ethics of the environment. Contributors examine Sri
Aurobindo's philosophy, its close conceptual relationship to
classical Indian philosophy and its relevance. It sheds light on
how his philosophy deals with the twenty-first century's
fundamental problems and offers possible solutions. The book brings
out the modern debate in Western philosophy involving thinkers like
Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida and Gilles Deleuze, and their
predecessors, such as Martin Heidegger and Friedrich Nietzsche.
This book is an exercise in comparative Philosophy,one that unpacks
the mind of Sri Aurobindo in the context of Indian, European and
Anglo-American philosophical discourse. It is of great relevance
for a new generation of students, scholars of Indian philosophy,
politics, religious studies and those interested in knowing the
thought and practice of the twentieth-century Indian, thinker and
yogi, Sri Aurobindo.
This book reconstructs the philosophical issues informing the
debate between the makers of modern India: Ambedkar and Gandhi. At
one level, this debate was about a set of different but
interconnected issues: caste and social hierarchies,
untouchability, Hinduism, conversion, temple entry, and political
separatism. The introduction to this book provides a brief overview
of the engagements and conflicts in Gandhi and Ambedkar's central
arguments. However, at another level, this book argues that the
debate can be philosophically re-interpreted as raising their
differences on the following issues: The nature of the self, The
relationship between the individual self and the community, The
appropriate relationship between the constitutive encumbrances of
the self and a conception of justice, The relationship between
memory, tradition, and self-identity. Ambedkar and Gandhi's
contrary conceptions of the self, history,itihaas, community and
justice unpack incommensurable world views. These can be properly
articulated only as very different answers to questions about the
relationship between the present and the past. This book raises
these questions and also establishes the link between the
Ambedkar--Gandhi debate in the early 20th century and its
re-interpretation as it resonates in the imagination and writing of
marginalized social groups in the present times.
This book combines the mainstream liberal arguments for religious

This is the first monograph of the Indian artist Sohan Qadri, a
modern Tantric painter. Born in 1932 in Punjab, India, Qadri began
his quest for his true self through Tantric yoga and spent long
periods of time silently meditating in remote temples in the
Himalayas and Tibet. His isolation propelled his urge to paint. He
received his MFA in 1960 from the Government College of Art in
Simla, India, but soon discovered that academic trappings were not
for him. Shortly after his first exhibition in 1965, he left India
for the West. In Qadri's work, there is a tranquil coexistence of
binary opposites male and female, known and unknown, physical and
spiritual. Although he clearly has Western influences, such as Mark
Rothko and Clyfford Still, his work is uniquely Eastern. His
paintings are monochrome surfaces with structural effects that, in
their repetition, convey the rhythmic expressions of colour
energies. The vibrations created by these energies are endless and
break the boundaries between the inner space of the image and the
external space of the viewer. Heinrich Boll, the 1972 Nobel Prize
winner in Literature, said that Qadri, with his painting liberates
the word meditation from its fashionable taste and brings it back
to its proper origin uninfluenced by Western propaganda,
misunderstandings and corruptions.
