The Japanese word, Ikigai means 'reason for being'. Think of what
you love, what you are good at, what you can be paid for, and what
the world needs. When these come together, you get your Ikigai.
However, Ikigai can be beyond these four components and doesn't
have to include any or all of them. The moments each day where you
live fully - engaging in a hobby or pursuit, learning, connecting
with people, being useful, choosing empathy over apathy, and being
in the present - and the small joys that inhabit those moments make
your Ikigai. You can have more than one Ikigai and it can change
with time. You already have your Ikigai and just need to discover
it!The book unveils the life journeys of 25 teens that left India
for the uncharted waters of Singapore in the 1990s and early 2000s.
Each story started with engineering and took the person to one's
calling - dance, filmmaking, entrepreneurship, mountaineering,
philanthropy, research, and even monkhood. Did they find their
Ikigai? Uncover the pages to find out!

The field of human information behavior runs the gamut of processes
from the realization of a need or gap in understanding, to the
search for information from one or more sources to fill that gap,
to the use of that information to complete a task at hand or to
satisfy a curiosity, as well as other behaviors such as avoiding
information or finding information serendipitously. Designers of
mechanisms, tools, and computer-based systems to facilitate this
seeking and search process often lack a full knowledge of the
context surrounding the search. This context may vary depending on
the job or role of the person; individual characteristics such as
personality, domain knowledge, age, gender, perception of self,
etc.; the task at hand; the source and the channel and their degree
of accessibility and usability; and the relationship that the
seeker shares with the source. Yet researchers have yet to agree on
what context really means. While there have been various research
studies incorporating context, and biennial conferences on context
in information behavior, there lacks a clear definition of what
context is, what its boundaries are, and what elements and
variables comprise context. In this book, we look at the many
definitions of and the theoretical and empirical studies on
context, and I attempt to map the conceptual space of context in
information behavior. I propose theoretical frameworks to map the
boundaries, elements, and variables of context. I then discuss how
to incorporate these frameworks and variables in the design of
research studies on context. We then arrive at a unified definition
of context. This book should provide designers of search systems a
better understanding of context as they seek to meet the needs and
demands of information seekers. It will be an important resource
for researchers in Library and Information Science, especially
doctoral students looking for one resource that covers an
exhaustive range of the most current literature related to context,
the best selection of classics, and a synthesis of these into
theoretical frameworks and a unified definition. The book should
help to move forward research in the field by clarifying the
elements, variables, and views that are pertinent. In particular,
the list of elements to be considered, and the variables associated
with each element will be extremely useful to researchers wanting
to include the influences of context in their studies.
Gas hydrates are ice-like crystalline substances that form a rigid
cage of water molecules and entrap hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon
gas by hydrogen bonding. Natural gas hydrate is primarily composed
of water and methane. These are solid, crystalline, ice-like
substances found in permafrost areas and deepwater basins around
the world. They naturally occur in the pore space of marine
sediments, where appropriate high pressure and low temperature
conditions exist in an adequate supply of gas (mainly methane). Gas
hydrates are considered as a potential non conventional energy
resource. Methane hydrates are also recognized as, an influence on
offshore platform stability, a major factor in climate change
contributing to global warming and a significant contribution to
the ocean carbon cycle. The proposed book treats various
geophysical techniques in order to quantify the gas hydrate
reserves and their impact on environment. The primary goal of this
book is to provide the state of art for gas hydrate exploration.
The target audiences for this book are non-specialist from
different branches of science, graduate students and researchers.
Advancement of Phenolic Acids in Drug Discovery: Fundamental and
Applications offers comprehensive coverage of the ADMET profiles of
phenolic acids, their extraction method and prospects for drug
design and development. Chapters overview phenolic acids and their
characterization, discuss the role of phenolic acids in plant
systems, present sources and detailed extraction methods of
phenolic acids, and cover phenolic acid mechanisms of action as it
relates to several key diseases and health conditions, including
their role as antioxidant agents, anti-inflammatory and analgesic
drugs, anti-microbial drugs, anti-viral drugs, anti-cancer drugs,
diabetes and metabolic dysfunctions, neurological disorders,
cardiovascular diseases. The bookâs final chapters cover
nanoscience aspects of phenolic acids, biomedical applications, and
concludes with challenges and opportunities presented by phenolic
acids. This is the ideal reference for researchers in the fields of
drug development, both in academia and corporate settings.
Researchers of related areas like food science and medicinal
chemistry will also benefit from this in-depth profiling of
therapeutical properties of phenolic acids.

This book outlines the use of supramolecules as different
pharmaceutical drugs. Supramolecular chemistry in pharmaceutical
sciences is quite a young and rapidly developing field.
Supramolecular assemblies might offer an alternative for existing
pharmaceutical formulations, as they facilitate the improvement of
physicochemical and pharmacological properties i.e., higher
bioavailability, better biocompatibility and drug-targeting, fewer
multidrug-resistances. This book offers an overview of the recent
advances in supramolecular structures and discusses the future
aspects and challenges related to the development of these
molecules, providing also a perspective on how to overcome these
issues. Divided into 13 chapters contributed by experts in their
field, the book provides a deeper understanding of intermolecular
forces playing pivotal roles in mediating the interactions between
chemical molecules and biological systems by focusing on different
applications of supramolecular compounds. In this book, readers
will find valuable insights into the preparation of supramolecules
and the latest research and development trends of supramolecules as
anticancer drugs, including liquid-crystalline supramolecular
assemblies, and as antimicrobial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and
cardiovascular drugs. Particular attention is given to the
application of supramolecules in the fields of biomedicine,
bioimaging, and vaccine development. Given its breadth, this book
will appeal to a wide readership from researchers and students
interested in these fields to professionals in the pharma industry.
