This book introduces readers to seismic inversion methods and their
application to both synthetic and real seismic data sets. Seismic
inversion methods are routinely used to estimate attributes like
P-impedance, S-impedance, density, the ratio of P-wave and S-wave
velocities and elastic impedances from seismic and well log data.
These attributes help to understand lithology and fluid contents in
the subsurface. There are several seismic inversion methods
available, but their application and results differ considerably,
which can lead to confusion. This book explains all popular
inversion methods, discusses their mathematical backgrounds, and
demonstrates their capacity to extract information from seismic
reflection data. The types covered include model-based inversion,
colored inversion, sparse spike inversion, band-limited inversion,
simultaneous inversion, elastic impedance inversion and
geostatistical inversion, which includes single-attribute analysis,
multi-attribute analysis, probabilistic neural networks and
multi-layer feed-forward neural networks. In addition, the book
describes local and global optimization methods and their
application to seismic reflection data. Given its
multidisciplinary, integrated and practical approach, the book
offers a valuable tool for students and young professionals,
especially those affiliated with oil companies.

The changing dynamics of business worldwide have led organizations
to look beyond traditional managerial practices while at the same
time attempting to retain their core competitive advantages. This
development has called upon academicians and practitioners alike to
reassess the different aspects of business management such as
macroeconomic variables, the nature of the market, the changing
features of the workplace, the new work ethos, and/or
employer-employee exchanges. In this context, the book provides
essential insights on industry innovations, academic advances and
policy movements with regard to recovering markets in India and
around the globe. The individual papers highlight potential avenues
that could allow industry to better understand and respond to the
global crisis. The book collects research papers presented at the
Global Conference on Managing in Recovering Markets (GCMRM), held
in March 2014. Seven international and 120 national business
schools and management universities were represented at the
conference, the first in a series of 13 planned under the GCMRM
agenda for 2014–17. The book includes more than 30 research
papers chosen from a pool of 118 presented at the conference, all
of which have undergone a rigorous blind review process.

This comprehensive publication "Handbook on Freshwater Aquaculture"
is the collective effort of a wide array of eminent people
associated with Indian aquaculture. Special emphasis has been given
to aquaculture and its prospects and problems in rural India
especially the lesser known areas. The book covers almost all
important aspects of freshwater aquaculture, both traditional and
modern aquaculture techniques, water quality issues, integrated
farming practices, environmental, socio-economic and livelihood
issues. It is expected that the book will prove to a source of
useful information for the needs of students, scholars, farmers and
researchers.
Apart from physical symptoms, TB patients face various problems
that are social and economic in nature. Therefore, for a
comprehensive assessment of patients' health status, it is
essential to consider the overall impact of TB on health and
patients' perception of well being, besides routine clinical,
radiological and bacteriological assessments.A prospective study
was conducted on 90 patients of tuberculosis at 2 directly observed
treatment short course (DOTS) cum microscopy centers in an urban
area of Delhi. The WHOQOLBREF (Hindi) questionnaire was used to
assess the QOL at the onset of treatment, after 3 months of
treatment under DOTS, and at completion of treatment. Patients with
tuberculosis had significantly lower mean scores than controls for
overall QOL. The most affected domains were physical and
psychological. Women scored significantly better than men in the
physical and environmental domains. Overall QOL scores were lowest
for category II and significantly lower for the psychological and
social domains. The mean scores after treatment were significantly
lower than controls for overall QOL, the social and environmental
domains. The DOTS regimen improves the QOL and its d
