It is 1958 and France's first nuclear submarine, Plongeur, leaves port for the first of its sea trials. On board, gathered together for the first time, one of the Navy's most experienced captains and a tiny skeleton crew of sailors, engineers and scientists. The Plongeur makes her first dive and goes down, and down and down... Out of control, the submarine plummets to a depth where the pressure will crush her hull, killing everyone on board, and beyond. The pressure builds, the hull protests, the crew prepare for death, the boat reaches the bottom of the sea and finds... nothing. Her final dive continues, the pressure begins to relent, but the depth gauge is useless. They have gone miles down. Hundreds of miles, thousands... And so it goes on. And on board the crew succumb to madness, betrayal, religious mania and murder. Has the Plongeur left the limits of our world and gone elsewhere? Contains 33 full-page pen and ink illustrations by acclaimed artist Mahendra Singh, who previously illustrated an edition of THE HUNTING OF THE SNARK. Adam Roberts and Mahendra Singh have revisited Jules Verne's classic SF novel, and together they have come up with a unique vision.

The Indian tiger (Panthera tigris tigris Linn. 1758), one of the world's most endangered umbrella carnivore species, is now thought to be in the verge of extinction in the wild. Sariska National Park in India is considered to be a highly suitable habitat for the tigers. However, in 2005, due to extensive poaching there were no tigers left in this park. There is some hope of further relocation of tigers from other parts of India in order to conserve them well under the prevailing conditions. The aim of the study is to model the tiger habitat suitability with the current human impacts with integrated Geospatial technology. Our study used topographical and anthropogenic variables to construct a habitat suitability model for tigers in this park. According to our model, there are areas of suitable habitat for tigers within the park. The corresponding weights for the parameters are defined by knowledge-based approach determined by field study and literature survey and thereafter by applying MCDA where AHP (crisp and fuzzy) is applied. The resulting weights imported in GIS mode and the map obtained from MCDA model in GIS shows the optimum location for the site suitability for the tiger.

The soils of two physiographic regions i.e. Aravali mountain ranges and Malwa plateau consisting of four landforms viz. hill, pediment, valley and plain were selected, in order to work out relationship between soil and landforms and its effect on effective use of available resources. Total eight pedons were examined in the field and investigated in the laboratory using standard laboratory procedures.Concentration of exchangeable bases was in order of Ca2+>Mg2+>K+>Na+ in all the pedons soils. Micaceous chlorites, chlorites, montmorillonite, smectite and quartz were dominant clay minerals of hills except quartz in hills of Malwa plateau. Smectite and montmorillonite mineral were present in almost all pedon, but vermiculite mineral was found only in plains of malwa plateau. The soils of all pedons were found deficient in available nitrogen and phosphorus while adequate in available potassium. The DTPA extractable micronutrients like iron, manganese and copper were found sufficient and zinc was deficient in soils of both transect.The soils of all pedons were classified in Entisols, Inceptisols and Vertisols orders.Presently the land fullfil human & animal requirements.

This book base on the study under selected tribal and nontribal persons on the basis of means of weight, height, fat percentage and fat mass are higher in non-tribal Sports person as compared to the tribal Sports person and the reason seems to be that tribal Sports person live in difficult climatic and geographical conditions which requires more strenuous exertions in every walk of life leading to more consumption of energy, secondly the food consumed by the tribal is more rich in proteins, carbohydrates and minerals and have less contents of fat resulting in more lean body mass and less fat mass and because of this reason the mean weight and fat mass, fat percentage are more in non-tribal Sports person. on the basis of study it may concluded that tribal peoples are rich in all resources but nontribal peoples have more powerful in comparison to tribal on human power and nontribal peoples also take very fresh and nutritive food. The results in relation to physical fitness (strength) indicates that the tribal Sports person dominated in pull ups, sit ups and standing broad jump as compared to the non-tribal peoples have excellent.

In last few decades interest of researcher and peoples were augmented in cosmetics. Harmful effect of chemicals used in cosmetic preparation gives rise to herbal products in cosmetology. Unlike chemical based products, herbs are by nature more friendly to human body and therefore are completely safe, extremely effective and have almost no negative side effects. They are used in cosmetic for enhancing attractiveness and cleaning purpose. Beside this the standardization of the herbs and quality control of the herbs are very necessary in the cosmetic. Hence the book focuses on the potential of herbal extract for cosmetic purpose. More sophisticated formulation containing herbal extracts are expected to appear in the future as cosmetic and various challenges which may affect quality of herbal products. It also enlightens various compendia's standardization techniques which effectively control the quality of herbal cosmetics.

Merrill) as well as to examine the influence of FYM, vermicompost, vermiwash and inorganic inputs (NPK) on soil properties. The results from two field experiments conducted at the Crop Research Centre of GBPUA&T, Pantnagar (India) during kharif 2006 and kharif 2007 has been presented and discussed here.

Roa Wioz (1882-1937), the locally-admired though otherwise little-known Zumorgian translator, spent seventeen years of his miserable life (when he wasn't tending to his beloved goats) translating Lewis Carroll's classic "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" into Zumorigenflit and transposing it into u ian culture. Sadly, u was swallowed up by the Soviet Union in 1947. Most of its citizens were either purged (lined up and summarily shot when they refused to combine their goats into a communal herd) or transported to the Gulag for political re-education and attitude adjustment. All cultural artifacts were systematically destroyed and most Zumorigenflit books were burned as part of the Soviet effort to obliterate u, along with any memory of it. The only known present-day u ian survivors of The Great u Purge (other than any possible survivors of the Gulag, whose descendants might conceivably live in Siberia) are now toothless old women, whose parents fled with them as infants from u to Transjordan the night of the purge. Today they live (if you can call it that) in a squalid refugee camp on the desert outskirts of Amman surrounded by very unhappy and angry displaced Palestinians. Some of these u ian refugees are still able to speak a little Zumorigenflit, though few of them can read it. For those interested in such esoteric things, "Alo k ujy Gigio Soagenli y" was first published by the Itadabukan Press in the capital city of Sprutni ovyurt in 1919. The city, which was mistakenly thought to be a German forward supply area, was literally flattened and burned to the ground by Royal Air Force saturation bombing in 1943, and all that remains of it are a few remnants of the ancient Palace's foundations and a gigantic reinforced concrete statue of Joseph Stalin, whose face has been shattered by what was probably machine gun target practice. The original story has here been updated to modern times, as if this strange, harsh, and dangerous land still existed in the modern world. It doesn't, except in my imagination and that of Mahendra Singh, whose heart swells with the Song of the Goat. -- Byron W. Sewell

An organized evacuation of pedestrians entrapped in a building, in emergencies such as those caused by fire, bomb blast, intentional or unintentional release of toxins in buildings etc., is of utmost importance. The focus of this book is on the development of a formal control methodology for an orderly and jam-free evacuation of pedestrians entrapped in a network of corridors in buildings in such emergency situations. To develop an effective solution, the pedestrian evacuation from a network of corridors is divided into two basic problems of flow routing and flow control. In this study the solutions of these two basic problems are developed. Concepts are applied from the disciplines of control engineering, operations research and transportation engineering to come up with novel ideas which model the critical aspects of the emergency evacuation scenario. While capturing the emergency egress situation appropriately these ideas are purposely kept simple enough to provide insights for practical applications.
