This book presents an introduction to the key topics in Real Analysis and makes the subject easily understood by the learners. The book is primarily useful for students of mathematics and engineering studying the subject of Real Analysis. It includes many examples and exercises at the end of chapters. This book is very authentic for students, instructors, as well as those doing research in areas demanding a basic knowledge of Real Analysis. It describes several useful topics in Real Analysis such as sets and functions, completeness, ordered and field, neighborhoods, limit points of a set, open sets, closed sets, countable and uncountable sets, sequences of real numbers, limit, continuity and differentiability of real functions, uniform continuity, point-wise and uniform convergence of sequences and series of real functions, Riemann integration, improper integrals and metric spaces.

The volume will consist of about 40 articles written by some very influential mathematicians of our time and will expose the latest achievements in the broad area of nonlinear analysis and its various interdisciplinary applications.

The National Botanical Research Institute came into being as the 13th among a chain of National Laboratories established during April, 1953 under the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research by the Govt. of India for advanced research in fields of specialisation which have a direct bearing on socio-economic, industrial and scientific advancement of the nation. Christened initially as National Botanic Gardens, the nucleus around which the institution took shape under its founder- Director Late Prof. K. N. Kaul, was a large herbarium of Indian flora and a centu- old botanical garden spread over 35 ha of land on the banks of River Gomti in the heart of Lucknow city. It's a matter of great pleasure and profound satisfaction to me that a Golden Jubilee volume entitled, "Pteridology in the New Millennium" is being published and released during the Golden Jubilee year of NBRI in the honour of Professor B. K. Nayar who laid the foundation of the Pteridology Laboratory of the NBRI, which is now a well equipped laboratory for the study of Indian pteridophytes. Professor Nayar is a holistic Botanist as evident through his contributions and publications in almost all the areas of study of Pteridophyta. The contribution of Professor Nayar towards the development of modern Pteridology and the role of NBRI in it is indeed great and very important. His publications will be valuable for the younger generation of scientists in the field as well as for the more mature research workers and teachers.

This book provides analysis and discusses the design of various MOSFET technologies which are used for the design of Double-Pole Four-Throw (DP4T) RF switches for next generation communication systems. The authors discuss the design of the (DP4T) RF switch by using the Double-Gate (DG) MOSFET, as well as the Cylindrical Surrounding double-gate (CSDG) MOSFET. The effect of HFO2 (high dielectric material) in the design of DG MOSFET and CSDG MOSFET is also explored. Coverage includes comparison of Single-gate MOSFET and Double-gate MOSFET switching parameters, as well as testing of MOSFETs parameters using image acquisition.

This book gives an overview on the fundamentals and recent developments in the field of luminescent materials.

The book is devoted to recent developments in the theory of fractional calculus and its applications. Particular attention is paid to the applicability of this currently popular research field in various branches of pure and applied mathematics. In particular, the book focuses on the more recent results in mathematical physics, engineering applications, theoretical and applied physics as quantum mechanics, signal analysis, and in those relevant research fields where nonlinear dynamics occurs and several tools of nonlinear analysis are required. Dynamical processes and dynamical systems of fractional order attract researchers from many areas of sciences and technologies, ranging from mathematics and physics to computer science.

In recent years there has been an increasing interest in problems involving closed form evaluations of (and representations of the Riemann Zeta function at positive integer arguments as) various families of series associated with the Riemann Zeta function ((s), the Hurwitz Zeta function ((s, a), and their such extensions and generalizations as (for example) Lerch's transcendent (or the Hurwitz-Lerch Zeta function) iI>(z, s, a). Some of these developments have apparently stemmed from an over two-century-old theorem of Christian Goldbach (1690-1764), which was stated in a letter dated 1729 from Goldbach to Daniel Bernoulli (1700-1782), from recent rediscoveries of a fairly rapidly convergent series representation for ((3), which is actually contained in a 1772 paper by Leonhard Euler (1707-1783), and from another known series representation for ((3), which was used by Roger Apery (1916-1994) in 1978 in his celebrated proof of the irrationality of ((3). This book is motivated essentially by the fact that the theories and applications of the various methods and techniques used in dealing with many different families of series associated with the Riemann Zeta function and its aforementioned relatives are to be found so far only"in widely scattered journal articles. Thus our systematic (and unified) presentation of these results on the evaluation and representation of the Zeta and related functions is expected to fill a conspicuous gap in the existing books dealing exclusively with these Zeta functions."

Analytic and Geometric Inequalities and Applications is devoted to recent advances in a variety of inequalities of Mathematical Analysis and Geo metry. Subjects dealt with in this volume include: Fractional order inequalities of Hardy type, differential and integral inequalities with initial time differ ence, multi-dimensional integral inequalities, Opial type inequalities, Gruss' inequality, Furuta inequality, Laguerre-Samuelson inequality with extensions and applications in statistics and matrix theory, distortion inequalities for ana lytic and univalent functions associated with certain fractional calculus and other linear operators, problem of infimum in the positive cone, alpha-quasi convex functions defined by convolution with incomplete beta functions, Chebyshev polynomials with integer coefficients, extremal problems for poly nomials, Bernstein's inequality and Gauss-Lucas theorem, numerical radii of some companion matrices and bounds for the zeros of polynomials, degree of convergence for a class of linear operators, open problems on eigenvalues of the Laplacian, fourth order obstacle boundary value problems, bounds on entropy measures for mixed populations as well as controlling the velocity of Brownian motion by its terminal value. A wealth of applications of the above is also included. We wish to express our appreciation to the distinguished mathematicians who contributed to this volume. Finally, it is our pleasure to acknowledge the fine cooperation and assistance provided by the staff of Kluwer Academic Publishers. June 1999 Themistocles M. Rassias Hari M."

Volume 43 of "Progress in Drug Research" contains five reviews and the various indexes which facilitate its use and establish the connection with the previous volumes. The articles in this volume deal with high cholesterol blood levels and other dyslipidemias; search of ideal antihypertensive drugs; the natural PQlyamines and the immune system; biologically active quinazolones and with production and action of interferons. In the 35 years the PDR has existed, the Editor has enjoyed the valuable help and advice of many colleagues. Readers, the authors of the reviews, and last but not least, the reviewers have all contributed greatly to the success of this series. Although the comments received so far have generally been favorable, it is nevertheless necessary to analyze and to reassess the current position and the future direction of such a review series. So far, it has been the Editors intention to help disseminate information on the vast domain of drug research, and to provide the reader with a tool with which to keep abreast of the latest developments and trends. The reviews in PDR are useful to the non-specialist, who can obtain an overview of a particular field of drug research in a relatively short time. The specialist readers of PDR will appreciate the reviews' comprehensive bibliographies, and, in addition, they may even get fresh impulses for their own research. Finally, the readers can use the 43 volumes of PDR as an encyclopedic source of information.
