The book is a thoughtful discussion with scientists studying
convergent plate boundaries such as the well-known, active
India-Eurasia collision zone. It provides a comprehensive
collection of petrographic images of ophiolitic rocks exhumed from
oceanic lithosphere and mantle at the India-Asia plate boundary.
Ophiolite is exposed in the northwestern Himalayas, eastern Indian
plate margin and Andaman-Nicobar Islands. At the eastern margin, it
occurs in a narrow strip comprising mantle peridotite tectonite,
cummulate peridotite-gabbro-plagiogranite-anorthosite, mafic dyke,
volcanics and oceanic sediments. Low temperature/high pressure
rocks including blueschists and eclogites were extensively studied
recently. Ophiolite derived sediments and podiform chromites will
also be discussed to provide complete details. Supplemental maps,
geological sections, field sketches and photographs will explain
the structure, stratigraphy, ore mineralization, and metamorphic
history.
This monograph forms an interdisciplinary study in atomic,
molecular, and quantum information (QI) science. Here a reader will
find that applications of the tools developed in QI provide new
physical insights into electron optics as well as properties of
atoms & molecules which, in turn, are useful in studying QI
both at fundamental and applied levels. In particular, this book
investigates entanglement properties of flying electronic qubits
generated in some of the well known processes capable of taking
place in an atom or a molecule following the absorption of a
photon. Here, one can generate Coulombic or fine-structure
entanglement of electronic qubits. The properties of these
entanglements differ not only from each other, but also from those
when spin of an inner-shell photoelectron is entangled with the
polarization of the subsequent fluorescence. Spins of an
outer-shell electron and of a residual photoion can have free or
bound entanglement in a laboratory.

An indispensable introduction to the key environmental processes of
weathering and erosion Natural and human-induced weathering
processes can have a great impact on soil and groundwater quality.
With climate change and other environmental challenges placing
increased emphasis on these resources, it has never been more
important for researchers and environmental professionals to attain
detailed knowledge of weathering and erosion processes. Weathering
and Erosion Processes in the Natural Environment meets this need
with a rigorous, systematic overview. Beginning with a description
of different forces and processes that contribute to weathering, it
then discusses the different kinds of landforms that can be
produced by weathering and erosion processes, as well as the
potential impacts of hydrogeological processes on both surface
water and groundwater. The result is a volume that balances
qualitative and quantitative understanding of this crucial subject.
Weathering and Erosion Processes in the Natural Environment readers
will also find: Documented examples in which weathering and erosion
processes have led to heavy metals and other trace elements in
groundwater Detailed discussion of climate change impacts,
including extreme weather events and rising carbon dioxide levels
Modeling approaches throughout to enable quantitative assessment
and predictions of future impact Weathering and Erosion Processes
in the Natural Environment is ideal for researchers and advanced
students in geology, geochemistry, hydrogeochemistry and
environmental science, as well as professionals dealing with water
and soil management.
L10 Life (90% reliability) model based on two-parameter Weibull
distribution was introduced by Lundberg-Palmgren in 1947 and
subsequently became a de facto industry standard. But, American
Gear Manufacturers Association is now specifying gearbox with 95%
and higher levels of reliability. A significant barrier to estimate
bearing reliability analytically is the poor current understanding
of the processes of running-in and of the interactions between
plastic deformation, wear, lubricant chemistry and damage
accumulation. For this reason, semi-empirical approach is preferred
and this needs extremely meticulous and time consuming fatigue
experimentation and fault -tolerant experimental apparatus. The
author discusses critical design issues of experimental apparatus,
judicial selection of sensors and fault-tolerant instrumentation,
and robust algorithms for bearing health monitoring. The various
models and estimation methods for predicting bearing reliability
beyond 90% are discussed and compared with standard models. This
book also deals with Artificial Neural Network based incipient
fault detection and residual prediction models for rolling element
bearings.
Electricity plays a crucial role in the economy of a country,
especially when the economy of a country is in its developing phase
like India .In this book, an attempt has been made to investigate
the causality between electricity supply and economic growth in
India taking data from 1960-61 to 2006-07. In order to find out the
causal relationship, Granger causality model has been adopted to
find whether there is bi-directional or unidirectional causality
running from electricity consumption to economic growth or vise
versa. The direction of causation between electricity consumption
and economic growth has significant implications. In this book, we
have incorporated the idea of the existence of a hypothetical
Kuznet Curve for electricity intensity. In addition, we have also
tried to find out the relationship between electricity supply and
economic growth in the major states of India by adopting panel
regression model. This book provides important insight to students,
researchers, policy-makers and those interested to fetch knowledge
about power sector in developing country.
