In the field of medieval Indian historiography, an eight-volume
magnum opus, History of India as Told by Its Own Historians, by Sir
Henry Myers Elliot (1808-53) and the editor-compiler of his
posthumous papers, John Dowson (1820-81), was published from London
between 1867 and 1877. These landmark volumes continue to retain
their popularity even nearly hundred and fifty years later, and
scholars still learn from and conduct their research on the basis
of this work. However, an enterprise of this scale and magnitude
was bound to suffer from some serious shortcomings. An eminent
Indian scholar, S.H. Hodivala undertook the daunting task of
annotating Elliot and Dowson's volumes and worked through all the
new material, selecting or criticizing and adding his own
suggestions where previous comments did not exist or appeared
unsuitable. The first volume of Hodivala's annotated Studies, was
published in 1939, while the second was published posthumously in
1957. Over the years, while the work of Elliot and Dowson has seen
many reprints, and is even available online now, Hodivala's volumes
have receded into obscurity. A new edition is presented here for
the first time. Hodivala also published critical commentaries on
238 of about 2000 entries included in another very famous work,
Hobson-Jobson (London, 1886) by Sir Henry Yule (1820-89) and Arthur
Coke Burnell (1840-82). These have also been included in the
present edition. These volumes are thus aimed at serving as an
indispensable compendium of both, Elliot and Dowson's, and for Yule
and Burnell's excellent contributions of colonial scholarship. At
the same time these would also serve as a guide for comparative
studies and critical appreciation of historical texts. Please note:

The decline of the Mughal Empire, the political ascendency of the
British East India Company, a number of revivalist powers (the
Sikhs, the Marathas, the Rohillas, etc.), and a large number of
Indian princely states, resulted in redrawing the political spaces
across India. In the process, the minting rights of the titular
Mughal king and of the neo-independent Indian princely rulers were
severely curbed by the dominant colonial power, both for political
as well as economic reasons. The territorial expansion of the
British Empire in India was invariably followed by the abolition of
the native mints and the introduction of the imperial currency in
the annexed territories. Indeed, the 'sikka' followed the flag. By
presenting the monetary history of this period, this volume seeks
to address some of the questions, viz. the effect of money supply
on trade, prices of commodities and services, wage structures in
different regions as well as on the administrative and military
health of a political power. In this unique anthology, published
studies along with unpublished archival records have been
integrated into an overall theme. Together with a comprehensive
bibliography-cum-list for further readings this volume is aimed to
serve as a veritable reference tool.
In the administration of colonial finances, the monetary policy of
the Imperial power relating to their dependencies has tremendous
impact on the colonial economy. The British East India Company,
therefore, adopted a policy of gradually subsuming the local
currencies of India and replacing them with a uniform imperial
currency. After passing a series of regulations, in 1835 the
Company was able to introduce a universal currency in all its
Indian possessions. This proved to be a landmark in the economic
consolidation of the British rule in India. In this unique
anthology published studies and unpublished archival records have
been integrated into an overall theme. Together with a
comprehensive bibliography-cum-list for further readings this
volume is aimed to serve as a veritable reference tool.
Multiple choice questions (MCQs) are a key assessment and study
tool in pharmacy courses throughout the world. MCQs in
Pharmaceutical Science and Technology will serve as an invaluable
resource for students and instructors in pharmaceutical science.
Comprised of 600 MCQs and answers divided into six sections, the
book progresses logically from basic science through to clinical
considerations. Questions included in each chapter cover basic,
conventional and novel delivery systems and will allow students to
gain valuable practice in this discipline. Topics covered include:
physical pharmaceutics; pharmacokinetics and biopharmaceutics;
particle science and calculations; dosage form design; advanced
drug delivery systems; miscellaneous topics. This book, edited by
Sanjay Garg and with contributions from a range of distinguished
pharmacy educators worldwide, will provide a much-needed
examination and revision guide for pharmacy students in the
scientific aspects of their studies.

This paper provides an overview of the aircraft turbine engine
control research at the NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC). A brief
introduction to the engine control problem is first provided with a
description of the state-of-the-art control law structure. A
historical aspect of engine control development since the 1940s is
then provided with a special emphasis on the contributions of GRC.
With the increased emphasis on aircraft safety, enhanced
performance, and affordability, as well as the need to reduce the
environmental impact of aircraft, there are many new challenges
being faced by the designers of aircraft propulsion systems. The
Controls and Dynamics Branch (CDB) at GRC is leading and
participating in various projects to develop advanced propulsion
controls and diagnostics technologies that will help meet the
challenging goals of NASA Aeronautics Research Mission programs.
The rest of the paper provides an overview of the various CDB
technology development activities in aircraft engine control and
diagnostics, both current and some accomplished in the recent past.
The motivation for each of the research efforts, the research
approach, technical challenges, and the key progress to date are
summarized.
Multivariable control allows controller designs that can provide
decoupled command tracking and robust performance in the presence
of modeling uncertainties. Although the last two decades have seen
extensive development of multivariable control theory and example
applications to complex systems in software/hardware simulations,
there are no production flying systems aircraft or spacecraft, that
use multivariable control. This is because of the tremendous
challenges associated with implementation of such multivariable
control designs. Unfortunately, the curriculum in schools does not
provide sufficient time to be able to provide an exposure to the
students in such implementation challenges. The objective of this
paper is to share the lessons learned by a practitioner of
multivariable control in the process of applying some of the modern
control theory to the Integrated Flight Propulsion Control (IFPC)
design for an advanced Short Take-Off Vertical Landing (STOVL)
aircraft simulation.
