This book discusses all aspects of advanced engine technologies,
and describes the role of alternative fuels and solution-based
modeling studies in meeting the increasingly higher standards of
the automotive industry. By promoting research into more efficient
and environment-friendly combustion technologies, it helps enable
researchers to develop higher-power engines with lower fuel
consumption, emissions, and noise levels. Over the course of 12
chapters, it covers research in areas such as homogeneous charge
compression ignition (HCCI) combustion and control strategies, the
use of alternative fuels and additives in combination with new
combustion technology and novel approaches to recover the pumping
loss in the spark ignition engine. The book will serve as a
valuable resource for academic researchers and professional
automotive engineers alike.
This volume explores one of the most complex labour landscapes of
India - the urban daily labour market. These markets form an
important sector of the urban informal labour market and contribute
significantly to the Indian economy. This book presents an
empirical, comparative picture of daily labour markets, in Gujarat,
Western India. These markets consist mostly of intra-state and
interstate migrant workers who suffer from layered multiple
marginalities based on markers of informality, migrant status,
caste, ethnicity, gender, poor agency and often live in the
peripheries of the cities without any right and entitlements to its
spaces and services. This study, based on an extensive survey of
three cities in Gujarat, contains description and analysis of the
places of migration and their causes as well as the working and
living conditions of the workers along with their spending patterns
on food, health, education and leisure. It mirrors the work, life
and issues of these workers on the regional level while
contributing to a better understanding for future policy
interventions. An in-depth study, the book will be of interest to
students and researchers of Labour Economics, Labour Studies, Urban
Planning, Social Work, Sociology, Anthropology, and Demography. It
will also be useful to NGOs/Trade Unions working with migrant
workers, civil servants in Labour department and other related
departments, city planners and policy makers.
India has two key social formations, the castes and the tribes.
Both groups can be studied from the perspective of society (samaj)
and culture (sanskriti). However, studies on castes largely deal
with social structure and less on culture, while studies on tribes
focus more on culture than on social structure. What has resulted
from this bias is a general misunderstanding that tribes have a
rich culture but lack social structure. This volume emerges out of
an in-depth empirical study of the social structure of five
Scheduled Tribes (STs) in Gujarat, western India, viz., Gamit,
Vasava, Chaudhari, Kukana and Warli. It analyses and compares their
internal social organisation consisting of institutions of
household, family, lineage, clan, kinship rules and marriage
networks. The book also deals with changes taking place in the
social structure of contemporary tribal societies. While the focus
is mainly on the data from tribes of western India, the issues are
relevant to pan-Indian tribes. An important contribution to the
studies on tribes of India, this book will be of great interest to
students and researchers of anthropology, sociology, demography,
history, tribal studies, social work, public policy and law. It
will also be of interest to professionals working with NGOs and
civil society, programme and policy formulating authorities and
bureaucrats.
This book focuses on the simulation and modeling of internal
combustion engines. The contents include various aspects of diesel
and gasoline engine modeling and simulation such as spray,
combustion, ignition, in-cylinder phenomena, emissions, exhaust
heat recovery. It also explored engine models and analysis of
cylinder bore piston stresses and temperature effects. This book
includes recent literature and focuses on current modeling and
simulation trends for internal combustion engines. Readers will
gain knowledge about engine process simulation and modeling,
helpful for the development of efficient and emission-free engines.
A few chapters highlight the review of state-of-the-art models for
spray, combustion, and emissions, focusing on the theory, models,
and their applications from an engine point of view. This volume
would be of interest to professionals, post-graduate students
involved in alternative fuels, IC engines, engine modeling and
simulation, and environmental research.
This monograph covers different aspects related to utilization of
alternative fuels in internal combustion (IC) engines with a focus
on biodiesel, dimethyl ether, alcohols, biogas, etc. The focal
point of this book is to present engine combustion, performance and
emission characteristics of IC engines fueled by these alternative
fuels. A section of this book also covers the potential strategies
of utilization of these alternative fuels in an energy efficient
manner to reduce the harmful pollutants emitted from IC engines. It
presents the comparative analysis of different alternative fuels in
a variety of engines to show the appropriate alternative fuel for
specific types of engines. This book will prove useful for both
researchers as well as energy experts and policy makers.

Symposium K, 'Nanostructures, Thin Films and Bulk Oxides -
Synthesis, Characterization and Applications' and Symposium RR,
'Solution Synthesis of Inorganic Functional Materials' were held
April 21-25 at the 2014 MRS Spring Meeting in San Francisco,
California. Oxide materials from bulk down to nanostructures are
used for applications in microelectronics, communications, sensing,
energy, catalysis, nanophotonics and optoelectronics. As the
characteristic dimensions of oxide systems shrink into the
nanometer range, there are increased technological challenges for
synthesis, processing and characterization to ensure high
uniformity, reproducibility and cost reduction. This symposium
proceedings volume represents the recent advances in various areas
of deposition, processing, characterization and integration of
functional oxide materials, with particular emphasis on the
relationship among the structure, composition, stability and
functional properties. The papers are divided into three sections:
(1) ZnO Thin Films and Nanostructures, (2) Multiferroics, Magnetism
and Magnetic Materials and (3) Oxide Thin Films and Nanostructures.
