The series Religion and Society (RS) contributes to the exploration
of religions as social systems- both in Western and non-Western
societies; in particular, it examines religions in their
differentiation from, and intersection with, other cultural
systems, such as art, economy, law and politics. Due attention is
given to paradigmatic case or comparative studies that exhibit a
clear theoretical orientation with the empirical and historical
data of religion and such aspects of religion as ritual, the
religious imagination, constructions of tradition, iconography, or
media. In addition, the formation of religious communities, their
construction of identity, and their relation to society and the
wider public are key issues of this series.

Induction cooking is not a radically new invention; it has been
widely used all around the world. With recent improvements in
technology and the consequent reduction of component costs,
Induction cooking equipment is now more affordable than ever.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the efficiency of
energy transfer for an induction hob is 84%, versus 38% for Gas
stove and 68% for a smooth-top non-induction electrical unit, for
an approximate 16% saving in energy for the same amount of heat
transfer. This study reveals the thermal analysis and efficiency of
an induction cooktop with the detailed calculations and analysis of
each component through mathematical and experimental models. To
calculate the efficiency of the induction cooktop, a standard
experiment has been performed. A Matlab model has been developed to
calculate different parameters for heat sink. Extensive studies on
calculation of heat loss in copper coil for different dimensions of
pancake coils lead us to calculate the efficiency theoretically,
however, this study is still under research and development phase.
Heat stress is one of the major problems of tropical and
subtropical areas of the world, adversely affecting the production
performance of poultry. Heat stress suppresses broilers immunity
against disease, body weight gain and increases mortality rate in
the flock. The avian gastrointestinal tract is populated by a
diverse and dynamic microbiota, generally considered important for
host nutrition and immunity. About 300 to 500 bacterial species
reside broilers gut. The key functions of the gut microbiota in
host health and well-being includes nutrients digestion and
absorption, and significant up-regulation of innate and acquired
immunity.There are quite a few studies depicting effect of heat
stress on gut microbiota. Perturbations in the GIT micobial
composition that occur as a result of stress can be settled by
prebiotics or probiotics supplementations. These two supplements
are also known for promoting growth performance and immunity of
broilers. However, use of these supplements in broilers reared
under tropical environment has not been examined. Therefore, we
planned this project to examine effects of heat stress and
pre/probiotics on broilers health and performance
This book is a small effort to address the most common medical
issue which we come across in our everyday living i.e. back pain.
While writing about this topic our main aim was to address those
community members (doctors) who deal it most frequently and are the
most common victim to it. Sadly enough, they are equally disabled
by this condition. The book contains a thorough review of the
problem including the basic anatomy of back, risk factors for
developing back pain, causative agents, various treatment options,
quick tips to relieve the symptoms, and a comprehensive home plan
including the patient education.Literature has supported various
interventions and their efficacy in the treatment of back pain.
Although we have tried to cover all these intervention our main aim
was to introduce the medical community to a safe working
environment emphasizing the need to maintain a good posture; a pre
requisite to every treatment plan.I hope that my efforts go well
with the medical community and help create awareness regarding
their back as they are the back bone of society. This will equally
be implacable and beneficial to the patients visiting them as well
as the community in general.
The study focuses on introducing Computer Mediated Communication
(CMC) in distance education for effective English language teaching
programmes in Pakistan. The researcher designed and executed a
CMC-ELT Blended Model for the students enrolled in MA TEFL
Programme offered by Allama Iqbal Open University Islamabad,
Pakistan. The researcher tried to find out the effectiveness of CMC
in terms of students' learning, interaction, access and cost. The
students were provided online support in their studies. Data was
collected through AIOU documents, questionnaires, tests, and
focused group discussions. The results of the study proved the
effectiveness of CMC in distance education.
In densely populated urban areas wireless communication is
predominantly line-of-sight(LOS). To cater for high data rates,
high frequency bands are likely to be used. At such frequency
bandswhen skin depth of vegetation becomes small as compared to its
actual thickness, effects of vegetation on radiowave propagation
cannot be neglected.This report explores the effect of vegetation
on signal attenuation. A statistical approach is used to model the
effective attenuation caused by randomly scattered trees in the
area. Theses effects are incorporated with other known effects to
present a simple and efficient path loss model for urban
microcells.
This book deals with quantification of bacterial pathogens from
three landfills in Malaysia. The emphasis was to validate whether
leachate contains pathogens against the common notion related to
non-pathogenic potential of leachate. The use of chlorine was
looked upon as a means of inactivation of bacterial pathogens and
the effect of chlorine dosage, and contact time was studied on the
inactivation pattern and formation of chlorination by products.
This book describes the biochemical and molecular characterization
of RALSTONIA SOLANACEARUM associated with chilli seeds from
Pakistan. This bacterium is a genetically complex organism and it
has been subdivided into 5 races and 6 biovars according to host
range and its utilization of different of sugars. During moon soon
in Pakistan, high moisture and light intensity favor the bacterial
wilt disease. The present studies were carried out to explore the
chilli seeds as a potential source of aggravating this problem in
the country. The isolation and initial characterization of
bacterium was done on TTC and 523 media. Out of all the isolates
tested, 72% showed positive hypersensitive reaction (HR) with
variable response. Among these all were not confirmed to be
RALSTONIA SOLANACEARUM through biochemical, pathogenicity and ELISA
tests. Only 40% of these HR
