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.
Internet of Things with 8051 and ESP8266 provides a platform to get started with the Internet of Things (IoT) with 8051. This book describes programming basics and how devices interface within designed systems. It presents a unique combination of 8051 with ESP8266 and I/O devices for IoT applications supported by case studies to provide the solutions to real-time problems. The programs and circuits have been tested on real hardware and explore different areas in IoT applications. Divided into four sections, it explains the customized boards for IoT applications followed by the means by which 8051 and ESP8266 interface with I/O devices. It spans levels from basic to advanced interfacing with special devices, server design, and data logging with different platforms. Features: Covers how I/O devices interface with 8051 and ESP8266 Explains the basic concepts of interfacing complexity using applications with examples Provides hands-on practice exercises with 8051 and ESP8266 for IoT applications Discusses both case studies and programming tests on real hardware during industrial and student projects Reviews the integration of smart devices with IoT Internet of Things with 8051 and ESP8266 is intended for senior undergraduate and graduate students in electrical and electronics engineering, but anyone with an interest in the professional curriculum of electrical and electronics engineering will find this book a welcome addition to their collection.

Getting Started for Internet of Things with Launch Pad and ESP8266 provides a platform to get started with the Ti launch pad and IoT modules for Internet of Things applications. The book provides the basic knowledge of Ti launch Pad and ESP8266 based customized modules with their interfacing, along with the programming. The book discusses the application of Internet of Things in different areas. Several examples for rapid prototyping are included, this to make the readers understand the concept of IoT. The book comprises of twenty-seven chapters, which are divided into four sections and which focus on the design of various independent prototypes. Section-A gives a brief introduction to Ti launch pad (MSP430) and Internet of Things platforms like GPRS, NodeMCU and NuttyFi (ESP8266 customized board), and it shows steps to program these boards. Examples on how to interface these boards with display units, analog sensors, digital sensors and actuators are also included, this to make reader comfortable with the platforms. Section-B discusses the communication modes to relay the data like serial out, PWM and I2C. Section-C explores the IoT data loggers and shows certain steps to design and interact with the servers. Section-D includes few IoT based case studies in various fields. This book is based on the practical experience of the authors while undergoing projects with students and partners from various industries.

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.

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.
