In the present book Chapter-I is an introductory one. It states the main aims of the study and source of data about different variables . Chapter-II gives a survey of the literature about all the existing alternative methods of estimation of CES production function. It clearly shows how considerable research has been reported on the estimation of CES function. Chapter-III proposes an alternative method of estimation of CES production function using Kmenta's (1967) approach to the production function. Chapter-IV deals with the empirical investigation of the present study. It includes the empirical results about the estimates of parameters of CES production function using a time series data. Several References are listed in separate title of Bibilography.

The book is first in English language highlighting the memoirs of a world renowned powder metallurgist .The author who is widely travelled, has had intimate interactions with eminent materials scientists and technologists for many many years. Many are no more alive and the book gives a rare chance to know not only their scientific achievements, but also the social aspects of the interaction. It is written in a narrative style. In some cases many interesting episodes have been highlighted, which otherwise would have remained obscure. In all 36 Indian and 47 overseas persons of eminence are covered in the book. In addition numerous persons have been mentioned in the side line.

This book gives a clear idea about resent advancement in plastic road construction as well as its various aspects. Also invisigates the possibility of using various plastics in asphalting of roads. The object of work is to describe relevant methods of use of waste plastic in roads along with Eco-friendly disposal of plastic waste, collection of related literature available worldwide for reference & to compare it with actual experimental values. It also aims at importance & use of plastics in daily life as well as proper road connectivity for economic growth, while consideration of its economic aspects & impacts. The experimentation involves preparation of blends of various types of waste plastic with bitumen- a major ingreadent in road construction and coating of waste plastic on aggregates as another process. The modification of bitumen with plastic & road constructed with polymer coated aggregates are tested for various test parameters & compared with normal values. The results are quite positive both ecologically and economically.

Written by an international expert, this book covers the processing, microstructure, and properties of cemented tungsten carbides. It is divided into 18 chapters covering wide areas from crystal structure to phase equilibria, production of metal and carbide powders, and much more. This book is ideal for researchers, plant engineers, and senior level students in metallurgical/mechanical/materials engineering who are interested in cemented carbides. There is no parallel book in print.
