Though cholera is an ancient disease, its perennial occurrence in
several parts of the world has attracted many researches to find
ways and means to combat the disease. The prevailing seventh
pandemic cholera is dominating since 1961, but the dimension of the
disease has taken several silhouettes, as the genetic structure and
functions of the Vibrio cholerae has changed to a great extent.
Several recent studies have shown that transformation of the
pathogen at the molecular level has ameliorated several cholera
outbreaks and epidemics of with successive new clones of V.
cholerae. This comprehensive compilation, written by eminent
international researchers reviews the epidemiology of cholera in
Africa, Asia, Russia and Latin Americas. The other chapters
contributed by acclaimed authors cover various aspects on
evolution, polysaccaharide biosynthesis, SXT element, integrons,
small molecule signalling systems, flagellar synthesis, filamentous
phages, pathogenic role of proteases and hemolysin, and other
putative virulence factors. In addition, ecology of V. cholerae and
management of cholera were also discussed in detail. This book will
be good source of information to all researchers with interests in
infectious diseases, microbiology and molecular biology.

Control of Machines is one of the most important functional areas
for electrical and mechanical engineers working in industry. In
this era of automation and control, every engineer has to acquaint
himself on the design installation, and maintenance of control
systems. This subject must find its place as a compulsory applied
engineering subject in degree and diploma curriculum.Some
progressive states and autonomous institutions have already
introduced this subject in their curriculum. In this book, static
control and programmable controllers have been included keeping in
view the latest developments in modern industry. Relay and static
control have been dealt with in details. Most of the control
circuits included in this book have been taken from Indian
industry. A chapter has been devoted to protection of motors and
troubleshooting in control circuits.The chapter on PLC has been
made very elaborate to deal with all aspects of logic controllers.
Review questions have been included at the end of each chapter. The
explanations of circuits and design procedure of control circuits
have been made very simple to help students understand easily.
Students, teachers and shop floor and design office engineers will
find this book a very useful companion.
