This book discusses the Indian scenario concerning dust allergy,
presenting case studies that reveal the practical aspects of
allergies. A gradual increase in the incidence and prevalence of
different allergic manifestations has been reported from various
parts of the world including several developing countries like
India, where the problem has recently surfaced due to the unplanned
urbanization, rapid industrialization, metamorphic changes in the
environment, and increased air pollution, as well as changes in
life style, particularly the adoption of Western life styles and
eating habits in the name of so-called modern living. The book is
divided into the following chapters: Allergy - what is it?, Allergy
- Fact File; Possible allergens in our surroundings; Mechanism of
allergic reaction; House dust allergy - an environmental enigma ;
The mighty mites; Dermatophagoides - the potent indoor allergen ;
Dust mite allergy - evaluation procedure; House dust allergy - an
Indian perspective ; House dust allergy in Kolkata - a case study;
Allergy & heredity; Allergic manifestations; Diagnostic
procedures; and Treatment & prevention.

The living legend of modern wildlife biology, Dr. George Schaller
called them "Mountain Monarchs." Ungulates of the high altitudes
are fascinating creatures with great adaptability to the harsh
climatic conditions and extremely tough terrain. Habitat
destruction, hunting and other such anthropogenic pressures pose a
severe threat to the long-term survival of these little known
species. This book represents the unknown facts about the ecology
of mountain ungulates in the least- explored wilderness areas
around the third highest peak of the world, Mt. Khangchendzonga,
situated in the eastern Himalayan biodiversity hot-spot. Apart from
distributions and abundances, this book also elucidates about the
habitat use patterns of these species. Species distribution models
and their implications for studying such rare and elusive species
are discussed thoroughly here. This book also explains how to
monitor these species in future and what steps can be taken to
ensure their long term survival. To maintain the ecological balance
of this fragile mountain landscape, the facts and findings
described in this book can help the present and future students,
managers and wildlife enthusiasts.
Fuzzy sets are sets whose elements have degrees of membership.
Fuzzy set theory was formalized by Professor Lotfi Zadeh at the
University of California in 1965 as an extension of the classical
notion of set. In classical set theory, the membership of elements
in a set is assessed in binary terms according to a bivalent
condition an element either belongs or does not belong to the set.
Fuzzy sets generalize classical sets are special cases of the
membership functions of fuzzy sets, if the latter only take values
0 or 1. Classical bivalent sets are in fuzzy set theory usually
called crisp sets. On the other hand fuzzy set is more specified
than crisp set. It can take a decision between membership grade 0
to 1, i.e. unit interval 0, 1]. This book attempts to fill the
needs of the algorithms of Newton's method, Fixed-Point Iteration
method and Bisection method which are used to solve fuzzy
non-linear equations for the linear fuzzy real number. The
procedures to obtain solutions of different types of fuzzy linear
equations have also been discussed. The book has been outlined into
four chapters.
