This volume brings together a range of essays that offer a new
perspective on the dynamic history of the museum as a cultural
institution in South Asia. It traces the museum from its origin as
a tool of colonialism and adoption as a vehicle of sovereignty in
the nationalist period, till its role in the present, as it
reflects the fissured identities of the post-colonial period.

Exiled from his homeland, Prince Rama must brave through an odyssey
in search of his wife, Princess Sita. She's been captured by a
demon that Rama must overcome before taking his place as the
rightful ruler. A dramatic tale of love, abduction and battle will
play out in a world thronged by heroes, deities and demons. The
timeless Ramayana has thrilled readers and listeners since the
fourth century B.C.
Beyond their often beautiful exhibition halls, many museums contain
vast, hidden spaces in which objects may be stored, conserved, or
processed. Museums can also include unseen archives, study rooms,
and libraries which are inaccessible to the public. This collection
of essays focuses on this domain, an area that has hitherto
received little attention. Divided into four sections, the book
critically examines the physical space of museum storage areas, the
fluctuating historical fortunes of exhibits, the growing phenomenon
of publicly visible storage, and the politics of objects deemed
worthy of collection but unsuitable for display. In doing so, it
explores issues including the relationship between storage and
canonization, the politics of collecting, the use of museum storage
as a form of censorship, the architectural character of storage
space, and the economic and epistemic value of museum objects.
Essay contributions come from a broad combination of museum
directors, curators, archaeologists, historians, and other
academics.

In process industries normally different manufacturing process
requires maintaining constant temperature or temperature variation
allowed to 0.5% or low. Such temperature control of chemicals/
process ingredients is critical precision temperature control is
not possible using conventional ON/ OFF controllers.. Secondly,
present market trend is changing fast and requires investment in
equipment, which has large degree of flexibility, and production
sequence can be manipulated change with ease, such that batch
production becomes flexible and programmable. Particularly in
chemical industry temperature at which reaction are required to be
performed are very critical, and need to be controlled under all
dynamic disturbance conditions. Such diverse requirement is
feasible for a system only with PID controller that permits fast
response with minimum over shoot and error. As per the flexible
process requirement of manufacturing industry, the complete process
must be programmable, Hence these requires use of microprocessor/
micro-computer/ micro-controller as basic element of the design.
For implementation of the above process requirement, the problem
for the research is proposed here.
In this book it is being attempted to implement basic JPEG
compression using only basic MATLAB functions. Here we use the
lossy compression technique where data loss can not effect the
image clarity in this area. JPEG image compression addresses the
problem of reducing the amount of data required to represent a
digital image. It is also used for reducing the redundancy that is
nothing but avoiding the duplicate data. It is also used for reduce
the storage compression area to load an image, for this purpose we
are using JPEG. This book describes the successful implementation
of JPEG image compression by using the MATLAB software.
Exhaustive work pressures, unmanageable deadlines, and
over-stressed work schedules, often lead a manager to a situation,
where he/she fails to perform to his/her potential. If it reaches
this point, counselling becomes a requirement for mental healing
and positive outlook. Now in its second edition, this book focuses
on counselling concepts, and explores issues of termination and
follow-up, while discussing counselling procedures. The concept of
REBT (Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy) is examined. A section
is included that is specifically devoted to counselling women. A
comprehensive model of ethical decision-making has also been added.
The book is designed for the postgraduate students of management
and organisational psychology. It will also be useful for
practising managers and counsellors.
