Ganesha is just like any other kid, except he has the head of an
elephant and rides around on a magical mouse. And he loves sweets,
especially the traditional dessert laddoo. But when Ganesha insists
on biting into a super jumbo jawbreaker laddoo, his tusk breaks
off! Ganesha is terribly upset, but with the help of the wise poet
Vyasa, he learns that what seems broken can actually be quite
useful after all. The bold, bright colors of India leap off the
page in this fresh and funny adaptation of how Ganesha came to
write the epic poem of Hindu literature, the MAHABHARATA. With
vibrant, graphic illustrations, expressive characters, and off-beat
humor, this is a wonderfully inventive twist on a classic tale.

The third edition of Introduction to Computing Systems: From bits
& gates to C/C++ and beyond is designed to give students a
strong foundation of computing early on in their coursework. The
book is in two parts: (a) the underlying structure of a computer,
and (b) programming in two high-level languages and programming
methodology. Taking a bottom-up approach from foundational
concepts, such as how a computer operates, to more high-level
programming languages enables students to understand each concept
while working through the text. This bottom-up approach can lead
students to more conceptual understanding and application with less
memorizing.

What are the origins of the hostile environment for immigrants in
Britain? Drawing on new archival material from the Foreign and
Commonwealth Office, Ian Sanjay Patel retells Britain's recent
history in an often shocking account of state racism that still
resonates today. In a series of post-war immigration laws,
Britain's colonial and Commonwealth citizens from the Caribbean,
Asia and Africa were renamed immigrants. In the late 1960s, British
officials drew upon an imperial vision of the world to contain what
it saw as a vast immigration 'crisis' involving British citizens,
passing legislation to block their entry. As a result, British
citizenship itself was redefined along racial lines, fatally
compromising the Commonwealth and exposing the limits of Britain's
influence in world politics. Combining voices of so-called
immigrants trying to make a home in Britain and the politicians,
diplomats and commentators who were rethinking the nation, Ian
Sanjay Patel excavates the reasons why Britain failed to create a
post-imperial national identity. The reactions of the British state
to post-war immigration reflected the shift in world politics from
empires to decolonization. Despite a new international recognition
of racial equality, Britain's colonial and Commonwealth citizens
were subject to a new regime of immigration control based on race.
From the Windrush generation who came to Britain from the Caribbean
to the South Asians who were forced to migrate from East Africa,
Britain was caught between attempting both to restrict the rights
of its non-white colonial and Commonwealth citizens and redefine
its imperial role in the world. Despite Britain's desire to join
Europe, which eventually occurred in 1973, its post-imperial moment
never arrived, subject to endless deferral and reinvention.
Pixar animator and Academy Award-nominated director Sanjay Patel
(Sanjay's Super Team) brings to life Hinduism's most important gods
and goddesses (and one sacred stone) in fun, full-color
illustrations, each accompanied by a short, lively profile. The
Little Book of Hindu Deities is chock-full of monsters, demons,
noble warriors, and divine divas. Find out why Ganesha has an
elephant's head (his father cut his off!); why Kali, the goddess of
time, is known as the "Black One" (she's a bit goth); and what
"Hare Krishna" really means. "Throw another ingredient in the
American spirituality blender. Pop culture is veering into
Hinduism."--USA Today
Several alternative fuels like hydrogen, CNG, LNG, producer gas,
biogas, alcohols, vegetable oils etc. are being explored around the
globe with a view to supplement fuels and reduce environmental
pollution. The alcohol fuels could not be exploited on a large
scale because the petroleum fuels were abundant, cheap and easy to
produce. Several vegetable oils are being produced in the country.
Among vegetable oils rice bran oil can be used as CI engine fuel.
Rice bran oil and its ester have been used satisfactorily for
partial replacement of the diesel fuel. Use of vegetable oil and
ethanol blend gave satisfactory results. But ester of vegetable oil
and ethanol has never been used before as fuel in CI engines. The
concept of employing alcohol especially ethanol with ester of
vegetable oils as a fuel in engines is totally new and
revolutionary. This study helped to assess the feasibility of using
blend of rice bran oil methyl ester and ethanol as fuel in a diesel
engine.
Interventional cardiologists have quickly replaced bare metal
stents with intravascular drug-eluting stents (DES) for treating
and preventing restenosis, largely on the basis of empirical
evidence that shows profound reduction in angiographic and clinical
restenosis. A critical reassessment of the published evidence,
however, suggests that the putative superiority of intravascular
drug-eluting stents is founded on questionable premises, including
overestimation of restenosis benefit, underestimation of the risk
for stent thrombosis, overreliance on "soft" rather than "hard"
outcomes and the attendant overestimation of cost-effectiveness.
Because the long-term incremental risks, benefits, and costs of
drug-eluting stents have not yet been optimally evaluated in a
broad spectrum of patient and lesion cohorts, the rational role of
these devices in clinical management warrants reappraisal. This
book will provide a brief overview of the development of
drug-eluting stents from the laboratory bench to their
investigation in clinical trials and their clinical use.
There is growing interest in developing chemical and biochemical
processes to obtain and modify biopolymers, and to other useful
technical properties for their applications in different fields.
The latest and most interesting example is chitin, it is mainly
used for production of chitosan by a deacetylation reaction usually
obtained in alkaline medium. Chitosan exhibits several favorable
properties, such as biodegradability and biocompatibility. It also
has mucoadhesive properties due to its positive charges at neutral
pH that enable an ionic interaction with the negative charges of
sialic acid residues of the mucus. Numerous studies have
demonstrated that chitosan and its derivatives are effective and
safe absorption enhancers to improve mucosal (nasal, peroral)
delivery of hydrophilic macromolecules, such as peptides, proteins,
and heparins. Chitosan has been developed for a variety of
biomedical applications including wound dressings and drug delivery
systems.
The usage of automobiles has been increasing expotentially which
also increasing emission of pollutants like hydrocarbons, carbon
monoxide, oxides of nitrogen and particulate matter greatly. These
pollutants have negative impact on air quality, the environment and
human health. The stringent regulations are in force across the
globe to minimize it. Automotive Emissions and Its Control provides
an up-to-date reference to academicians and professionals on
emissions from SI and CI engines powered vehicles and its control
technologies. In this book engine design, engine emissions, impact
of emitted pollutants on environment, worldwide vehicle emission
standards etc. are presented. The pollutant emission control
technologies like improvement in engine design, fuel pretreatment,
use of alternative fuels, fuel additives, exhaust treatment or
better tuning of the combustion process etc. are discussed in the
detail. The recent developments on exhaust aftertreatment such as
cold start emission control, NSR, SCR and diesel particulate
filters etc. are covered in the book. It also discuses three way
catalytic converter based on noble metal for minimizing emissions
with its limitations.
Heterobicyclic oxazolo pyrimidinone are important class of
compounds. They may become promising candidates for exploiting more
useful therapeutically active molecules. The compounds having
oxazolo pyrimidinone moiety are associated with interesting wide
spectrum biological activities, such as antibacterial, kinase
inhibition, adenosine receptor antagonism, tumour growth inhibition
and some show to inhibit the ability of ricin to inactivate the
ribosomes etc. The intermediate azlactones are also useful
precursors for the synthesis of amino acids, peptides,
heterocycles, biosensors and antitumor or antimicrobial compounds.
In the present study, it was proposed to synthesize lead molecules
of oxazolo pyrimidinone skeleton, apt for binding to the target
enzyme, bacterial MurB based on the rational approach and to study
their docking simulations using ArgusLab 4.0.1 and AutoDock 4.2
softwares. The synthesized test compounds were then characterized
by TLC, melting point determination, UV, IR, 1H-NMR and mass
spectral studies and tested for their antibacterial activity and
compare with the standard drug.
Coumarins are important class of compounds, isomeric to quinolones.
They may become promising candidates for exploiting more useful
therapeutically active molecules. DNA-gyrase has drawn much
attention as selected target for finding potent anti-bacterial
agents against multi-drug resistant strains such as
methicillin-resistant Staphyloccus aureus (MRSA),
vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE), penicillin-resistant
Streptococci pneumonia (PRSP). The objective of the present study
was, to study the molecular docking simulations on
5,7-dihydroxy-4-methyl coumarin analogues as probable candidates
for inhibiting DNA gyrase subunit-B of S.aureus. In the present
study, Docking simulations were carried out on the reported
inhibitors of DNA-gyrase subunit A and B using docking software.
Based on it, Series of 5,7-dihydroxy-4-methylcoumarin analogues
(PH-1 to PH-9) were designed, synthesized, characterized and
evaluated for its anti-bacterial activity against S.aureus and
E.coli. Out of the nine test compounds, compound PH-4 showed good
anti-bacterial activity against S.aureus and E.coli than rest of
other compounds.
Nearly 40% of new drug candidates exhibit low solubility in water,
which leads to poor oral bioavailability, high intra- and
inter-subject variability and lack of dose proportionality.
Modification of the physicochemical properties, such as salt
formation and particle size reduction of the compound may be one
approach to improve the dissolution rate of the drug. However,
these methods have their own limitations. In recent years, much
attention has focused on lipid based formulations to improve the
oral bioavailability of poorly water soluble drugs. In fact, the
most popular approach is the incorporation of the drug compound
into inert lipid vehicles such as oils, surfactant dispersions,
self-emulsifying formulations, emulsions and liposomes with
particular emphasis on self-microemulsifying drug delivery systems
(SMEDDS).
