Originally published in 1974, the conclusions of the book are based
on intensive field-work during 1963-66 in a village in south-east
Rajasthan, India. Although the marriages of 158 boys and 163 girls
were studied, the relevance of the conclusions drawn extends far
beyond the village and its region since it reveals the changing
themes and values in Indian society at the time. The perceptive
analysis of rites and ceremonies of marriage further illuminates
the central problem of the book - how the themes of the
Dharmasastras are interpreted and acted upon in village life and
what kinds of reinforcements and incentives to change they provide
to the various units of social structure. The author contends that
the series of marriage rites manifest the continuity of tradition,
a ritual epitomisation of caste interdependence and means of
systematic social advancement. At the time ritual idioms and
patterns of social exchange were beginning to change, more often in
observance than in content. Traditional sources of status
aggrandisement continued to provide new pathways to the forces of
modernisation and unveil several clues to the innovative strategies
of change. This scholarly study filled the need for a realistic
appraisal of the relationship between marriage practices, religious
values and the changing social structure.

Roughly 30 percent of the solar radiation directed toward the earth
is reflected directly back into outer space. The remaining 70
percent is absorbed by earth and re-emitted outward as long-wave --
or infra-red -- radiation. While transparent to incoming solar
radiation, certain gases--notably carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide,
methane, and chlorofluorocarbons -- absorb, or " trap, " this
outgoing infra-red radiation near the earth's surface, producing an
increase in temperature. This is the so-called greenhouse effect.
The greater the concentration of these greenhouse gases, the more
pronounced will be the effect. Despite uncertainties, the
scientific consensus recorded at Villach, Austria, in 1985 was that
" the understanding of the greenhouse question is sufficiently
developed that scientists and policy-makers should begin an active
collaboration to explore the effectiveness of alternatives and
adjustments." The recent scientific assessment of climate change,
conducted under the auspices of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change, has only strengthened the view that a concerted
multilateral response is called for. Brookings Occasional Papers

Data analytics is proving to be an ally for epidemiologists as they
join forces with data scientists to address the scale of crises.
Analytics examined from many sources can derive insights and be
used to study and fight global outbreaks. Pandemic analytics is a
modern way to combat a problem as old as humanity itself: the
proliferation of disease. Machine Learning and Data Analytics for
Predicting, Managing, and Monitoring Disease explores different
types of data and discusses how to prepare data for analysis,
perform simple statistical analyses, create meaningful data
visualizations, predict future trends from data, and more by
applying cutting edge technology such as machine learning and data
analytics in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Covering a range of
topics such as mental health analytics during COVID-19, data
analysis and machine learning using Python, and statistical model
development and deployment, it is ideal for researchers,
academicians, data scientists, technologists, data analysts,
diagnosticians, healthcare professionals, computer scientists, and
students.

As the push for diversification of energy sources continues, this
book provides a toolbox of techniques to enhance top-line as well
as bottom-line results by successfully managing capital projects
and operations & maintenance trade-offs across the value chain.
Built on the foundations laid in Jacoby's previous books Optimal
Supply Chain Management in Oil, Gas, and Power Generation and Guide
to Supply Chain Management, it offers ground-breaking new ways to
tap the power of supply chain management in conventional and
emerging energy industries - from the small to the large project,
and from solar to nuclear and everything in between. The
organization of the book makes it a handy reference resource. It
starts with a conceptual framework for value chain and supply chain
management in the energy sector, laying out objectives, key
business processes, and performance metrics that provide useful
guideposts. It offers principles that should guide investments in
the energy industry and explains how to organize the supply chain
to maximize their results. Chapters on capital project and
operations management explain tools and techniques that are
relevant to energy value chains broadly speaking.
Technology-specific chapters show how these concepts apply to ten
energy domains: Hydrogen & Fuel Cells, Energy Storage, Wind,
Solar, Biomass, Oil & Gas, Geothermal, Gas and Coal-Fired
Power, Hydropower, Nuclear
