"Big data" has become a commonly used term to describe large-scale and complex data sets which are difficult to manage and analyze using standard data management methodologies. With applications across sectors and fields of study, the implementation and possible uses of big data are limitless. The Handbook of Research on Big Data Management and Applications explores emerging research on the ever-growing field of big data and facilitates further knowledge development on methods for handling and interpreting large data sets. Providing multi-disciplinary perspectives fueled by international research, this publication is designed for use by data analysts, IT professionals, researchers, and graduate-level students interested in learning about the latest trends and concepts in big data.

Our world is increasingly driven by sophisticated networks of advanced computing technology, and the basic operation of everyday society is becoming increasingly vulnerable to those networks' shortcomings. The implementation and upkeep of a strong network defense is a substantial challenge, beset not only by economic disincentives, but also by an inherent logistical bias that grants advantage to attackers. Network Security Attacks and Countermeasures discusses the security and optimization of computer networks for use in a variety of disciplines and fields. Touching on such matters as mobile and VPN security, IP spoofing, and intrusion detection, this edited collection emboldens the efforts of researchers, academics, and network administrators working in both the public and private sectors. This edited compilation includes chapters covering topics such as attacks and countermeasures, mobile wireless networking, intrusion detection systems, next-generation firewalls, and more.

Researches in Stone Age prehistory from Bihar (NE India) have been reported from as early as the end of the nineteenth century. Despite these reports a sharp picture of the cultural transformation in this area has not emerged clearly. This study attempts to shed light on the various aspects of the cultural transformation processes from all the districts of Bihar.

Increasing cases of drug resistant microbes & difficulty in disease treatment for example: Resistant T.B. There is a great need to discover alternate sources of antibiotics especially the natural sources like plant having no or little side effects. The book comprise of the experiment conducted on Ginger, Cumin, Nigella, Aniseed, Ajwain for their antimicrobial potential against some of the disease causing drug resistant pathogenic bacteria(E.coli, S.aureus, P.aeruginosa, B.spp) also comparing their antimicrobial property. The primary aim of the book is to provide the students and the Researchers involved in study of medicinal property of plants, information regarding medicinal importance of some of the daily used Spices and Herbs. This type of work will help evaluate the potentials of plants as a possible source of natural substitute to the chemically prepared antibiotics.

The library and information services, such as circulation, printed catalogue, indexing, abstracting, referencing, inter library loan, current awareness services, selective dissemination of information services etc. have not only been influenced and enhanced by the Internet but achieved a new heights. The problems of acquisition and serial control have also been well taken care by the Internet. The continuous research and development in the field of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and their applications to the library were always been posing new challenges for the library professionals. In this context the present book "Impact of Internet on Library and Information Services of IITs: A study" was conceived and tried to look into the problem and also how IITs library professionals are trying to overcome upon them.

Educational Psychology has a great utility in pedagogy. The principles of psychology can be used in various situations to improve teaching-learning process, from understanding all relevant personal and organismic variables to enriching the environment. Whether it is narrow or wider objective, it has a crucial role.Learning, Motivation, Personality, Intelligence, Creativity and social developmental process are important concepts to understand and implement in real educational settings.

Biological, Psycho-Social and Cognitive approaches try to understand the adolescence. Patterns and courses of development are discovered and studied from the scientific viewpoints to solve the crisis and help in enhancement of development.Changes occuring within the boundaries of adolescents'skins and psycho-social demands bring for them challenges to cope up with. Roles of adolescents and significant others are important in making adjustment, resolving issues and making changes enjoying.

Police function for enforcing law and maintaining order, ensuring life and property for citizens of the country and controlling crime and violence, which is linked to social service in modern democratic world. This entire responsibility mount on them heavy stress. Their personal life gets disturbed too, due to nature of their job, which is highly demanding. Life events and intrapsychic sources give rise to anxiety, frustrations and pressures in their lives. In recent years, rapid increase in negative incidences was observed in police organization, which not only affects police personnel, but hampers the organization also. Personality factors mediate between situational demands and their behaviour, which if negative, may lead to fatal consequences. So, it is relevant to investigate the various stresses and personality factors and its effects on mental health among police personnel as their psychological health is an emotion prerequisite of the society and state.Initial study has indicated presence of stress, negative personality factors and mental ill health.

DATA STRUCTURES THROUGH C++ discusses concepts with implementations in a way that is easy use for both undergraduate and postgraduate students. The contents help the students design and implement data structures in C++, analyze various data structures in terms of space and time requirements, how to decide between set of data structures for specific use, and test and improve the implementation of each data structure. This book covers the necessary basics required by the reader to learn data structures in Part I. The text guides the students through the development of Abstract Data Types (ADTs) such as stacks, queues, binary search trees, AVL trees, Red-Black trees, splay trees, searching techniques, dictionaries and skip lists, pattern matching algorithms and tries using templates in Part II. KEY FEATURE: * Set of real time examples and hands on exercises * Objective questions at the end of each chapter * Ready-to-use real code for many of the data structures that are being discussed
