that the urban poor experience while navigating public spaces in
Dhaka, Bangladesh. Using data collected through extensive fieldwork
in Bangladesh, the book contributes to the emerging scholarship of
resilient cities, gendered space, spatial justice, and poverty in
cities of the Global South. The book assesses the everyday politics
of survival for the urban poor; how the poor negotiate different
levels of formal and informal modes of power and governance; and
the dynamics of gender. It explores how tenuous counterspaces are
created when these factors combine to provide a valuable framework
for work in other urban contexts in the Global South beyond
Bangladesh. Using cross-disciplinary perspectives, this book
investigates the issues of human development, urban governance,
urban planning and the gendered nature of urban space to outline
how these issues enable or constrain poor people's livelihood
practices and their rights to be in the city. Exploring debates
surrounding placemaking and inclusive cities and their connection
to poor people's livelihoods, this book will be of interest to
scholars in the field of Sociology, Development Studies, Planning,
Geography and Anthropology.
This book facilitates the VLSI-interested individuals with not only
in-depth knowledge, but also the broad aspects of it by explaining
its applications in different fields, including image processing
and biomedical. The deep understanding of basic concepts gives you
the power to develop a new application aspect, which is very well
taken care of in this book by using simple language in explaining

generation using Verilog HDL. Chapter 20 deals with a secured VLSI
design with hardware obfuscation by hiding the IC's structure and
function, which makes it much more difficult to reverse engineer.

The world is an interdependent whole of which everything is an
integral, complexly related, part. Yet current ways of thinking,
and being, persistently separate social phenomena and the
individual self from the multiple dimensions with which they are
interconnected. The Integral Nature of Things examines this
revealing paradox and its consequences in a variety of sites:
everyday language, labour, advertising, technology,
post-structuralist theory, political rhetoric, urban planning, sex,
neoliberal globalisation. Mani demonstrates how even though the
interrelations between things are obscured by the ruling paradigm,
the facts of relationality and indivisibility continually assert
themselves. The book interweaves prose with poetry and
sociocultural analysis with observational accounts to offer an
alternative framework for addressing aspects of the cognitive,
cultural, political, and ethical crisis we face today.

What would it mean to conceive of the sacred as a source of
knowledge that is as vital as the secular? What insights does a
contemplative approach yield in analysing neoliberal globalisation
or Hindu fundamentalism? Is a dew drop sacred, or is it secular? In
today's charged atmosphere many believe that the sacred is best
kept firmly apart from the realm of the secular. SacredSecular:
Contemplative Cultural Critique offers a contrasting view. It
argues that the two are indivisible and can productively interweave
in illuminating key contemporary issues. Essays investigate the
quotidian (trash, cut flowers), the philosophical (advaita, karma),
the economic (work, globalisation) and the political (war,
violence). Mani invites us to rethink the prevailing view that
secularism is the only progressive response to religious
authoritarianism. SacredSecular proposes a conceptual approach in
which body, mind, heart, nature, matter and spirit are not merely
equals, but equally crucial to crafting an inclusive vision and
practice. This book addresses several audiences: scholars of
contemporary Indian society and culture, spiritual practitioners
striving to integrate their practice with their politics, and all
those interested in contemplating the present and what it portends
for our collective future.

MACHINE LEARNING TECHNIQUES FOR VLSI CHIP DESIGN This cutting-edge
new volume covers the hardware architecture implementation, the
software implementation approach, the efficient hardware of machine
learning applications with FPGA or CMOS circuits, and many other
aspects and applications of machine learning techniques for VLSI
chip design. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML)
have, or will have, an impact on almost every aspect of our lives
and every device that we own. AI has benefitted every industry in
terms of computational speeds, accurate decision prediction,
efficient machine learning (ML), and deep learning (DL) algorithms.
The VLSI industry uses the electronic design automation tool (EDA),
and the integration with ML helps in reducing design time and cost
of production. Finding defects, bugs, and hardware Trojans in the
design with ML or DL can save losses during production. Constraints
to ML-DL arise when having to deal with a large set of training
datasets. This book covers the learning algorithm for floor
planning, routing, mask fabrication, and implementation of the
computational architecture for ML-DL. The future aspect of the
ML-DL algorithm is to be available in the format of an integrated
circuit (IC). A user can upgrade to the new algorithm by replacing
an IC. This new book mainly deals with the adaption of computation
blocks like hardware accelerators and novel nano-material for them
based upon their application and to create a smart solution. This
exciting new volume is an invaluable reference for beginners as
well as engineers, scientists, researchers, and other professionals
working in the area of VLSI architecture development.
In Myriad Intimacies postcolonial theorist, spiritual practitioner,
and filmmaker Lata Mani oscillates between text and video, poetry
and prose, genre and form, register and voice, and secular and
sacred to offer a transmedia exploration of the interrelatedness of
lives, concepts, frameworks, and aspects of self. She draws on
concepts from tantra-a philosophy that celebrates matter as alive,
embodiment as sacred, and the senses as a form of
intelligence-alongside feminist, critical race, and cultural theory
to meditate on the ways in which everyone and everything exists in
mutually constitutive interrelations. Addressing issues ranging
from desire, the body, nature, and love, to otherness, identity
politics, social justice, #MeToo, and the COVID-19 pandemic, Mani
foregrounds the power and necessity of recognizing relationality as
foundational. Throughout, she offers a way of reframing what we
think we know and how we come to know it, demonstrating that it is
only by acknowledging and embracing the indivisible and
interdependent nature of existence that we restore our true
intimacy with each other and the world.
