smart cities and practical challenges Includes sustainable
development of smart cities Presents detailed explanation of case
studies of smart cities of developed countries and developing
countries and their comparisons This book is aimed at researchers
and graduate students in Artificial Intelligence, Urban Planning,
and Information Technology Systems and Management.
The book acts as a guide; taking the reader into the smart system
domain and providing theoretical and practical knowledge along with
case studies in smart healthcare. The book uses a blend of
interdisciplinary approaches such as IoT, blockchain, augmented
reality, and virtual reality for the implementation of
cost-effective, real-time, and user-friendly solutions for

The main aims of this book are to summarize the fundamentals,
synthesis methods, properties and applications of nanomaterials, so
as to provide readers with a systematic knowledge on nanomaterials.
In addition, the book covers most commonly used characterization
tools pertaining to nanomaterials. Further, it deals with relevant
aspects of nanocomposites which contains dispersion of nano-sized
particulates, and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in the matrices (polymer,
metal and ceramic). It also discusses development of smart nano
textiles (intelligent textiles), self-cleaning glass, sensors,
actuators, ferro-fluids, and wear resistant nano coatings. Aimed at
senior undergraduate and graduate students, the key features on
this book include: Top-down and bottom-up approaches for the
synthesis of nanomaterials included Illustrates sample preparation
and basic principle of characterization tools for nanomaterials
Explains calculation of ratios of surface area to volume and
surface atoms to bulk atoms Reviews synthesis, properties and
applications of carbon nanotubes and magnetic nanomaterials
Discusses size effect on thermal, mechanical, optical, magnetic and
electrical properties
The book is expressly written for the young minds because they are
our best hope for a safer tomorrow. The book is profusely
illustrated, as it offers a joyride to the world of the whole range
of hazards through simplified teaching-learning process, with less
of teaching and more of learning. This is because most readers
would love to learn without actually being taught. The book is
designed to take advantage of distilled wisdom of centuries to
inspire and enlighten the common man to turn them into prime movers
of safer societies. Senior citizens, community leaders,
self-trained disaster managers, social workers, media personnel,
bureaucrats and those averse to the very thought of reading will
also find the book useful as it is illustrative and inviting.
Although the adoption of a democratic system of government based on
universal adult franchise has been considered a gamble on the part
of the fathers of the Indian constitution, it has undoubtedly paid
rich dividends in terms of establishing India as one of the most
vibrant democracies in the world. Reconceptualizing Indian
Democracy adopts a new prism in analysing the institutional
vibrancy and functional dynamism of democratic experiences in
India. It suggests that elections are not only mechanisms that
change the political guard, but also devices for reconceptualizing
the politico-constitutional fabric on which the Indian polity
rests. Among the different factors that have made democracy a way
of life for Indian people, elections, particularly the Lok Sabha
elections, stand out prominently. In the first four general
elections, the electorate appeared duty bound to vote for the
Congress, but the 5th Lok Sabha elections saw a real churning in
the political psyche of the common people. The book, thus, begins
with an exploration of the 5th Lok Sabha elections and
comprehensively studies each of the general elections from the 5th
(1971) to the 17th (2019). By directing attention to the processes
changing the texture of Indian democracy, the book highlights the
inputs that democratic experiences in India offer to both the
literature on democracy and to democratic experiences across the
world.
