This volume focuses on management issues in the international
context of health information technology (HIT). Nations around the
globe have established policies designed to improve the
computerization of their health care systems. It is believed that
the adoption of HIT including clinical information systems,
decision support systems, and networks or systems that facilitate
the exchange of clinical and other health data will yield various
desirable outcomes. These outcomes may include improvements in the
quality of care, a reduction in medical errors, boosts in
efficiencies, and improved provider and patient satisfaction. The
purpose of this volume on HIT in the international context is to
facilitate the exchange of management theory, best practice,
implementation challenges, and the impact of adoption as it
pertains to HIT adoption in one or more international settings. It
offers a holistic viewpoint on health information technology use in
health care organizations and systems, providing a managerial
perspective from authors around the world that will prove useful
for health care practitioners across a variety of settings.

Phytochemical research took shape with the isolation of morphine by
F.W. Seturner in 1805. This book includes about 290
phytopharmaceuticals giving their characterization and structure
elucidation by modern instrumental methods like UV, IR, HNMR 13C
NMR, Ms, HRMS, X-Ray, biosynthesis and synthesis. The book though
written for M.Pharm. Pharmacognosy will, however, also found useful
as a reference by researchers in natural product chemistry in ICMR
units, National Laboratories and pharmaceutical industry the world
over.
The book have established that the media activities increased
dramatically. The television and social media has reached
significantly to the common citizens. Television channels, FMs,
News papers and internet have created a kind competition within the
service providers to fetch maximum advertising to increase their
profit. This increased competition is likely to drive advertising
price rates down, making it possible for more companies to use this
medium to bring their products to the consumer. Internet
advertising opportunities exist as well. For example, currently
17.4 percent of the Middle Eastern population uses the internet,
which is more or less comparable to the world average of 20.1
percent internet usage, and usage has increased rapidly From
2000-2007 the increase in Middle Eastern internet usage (920.2
percent) easily eclipsed the world average increase of 259.6
percent over the same period.
Flip-flop is an electronic circuit that stores a logical state of
one or more data input signals in response to clock pulse.
Flip-flop are often used in computational circuits to operate in
selected sequences during recurring clock intervals to receive and
maintain data for a limited time period sufficient for other
circuits within a system to further process data. Flip-Flops are
critical timing elements in digital circuits and have a large
impact on circuit speed and power consumption. Consequently,
extensive research has been performed to develop fast and low-power
flip-flops. Recently, pulsed latch structures have emerged as the
fastest known flip-flop structures. Flip-flops are a fundamental
building block of digital electronics systems used in computers,
communications, and many other types of systems. A new flip-flop
design using a double-pulsed static latch is designed for
250-nanometer technology. This flip-flop consumes less power and
fewer transistors in the clock generator as compared with the
DPSCRFF (Double Pulsed Set Conditional Reset), which is one of the
fastest known flip-flops in literature.
Availability of large number of disease free genuine planting
material is a major constraint in expanding area under pomegranate
cultivation for which tissue culture can be explored as an
alternative tool to fulfil the demand for elite planting material.
In the first part of the study an efficient in vitro propagation
protocol for pomegranate cv. G-137 (a superior clone of "Ganesh")
has been developed. Improper hardening of in vitro raised plantlets
leads to high field mortality and poor growth of plantlets which
act as a hurdle in popularization of in vitro propagation in
pomegranate. So, in the second part of the study four different
arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) strains namely, Glomus mosseae,
Acaulospora laevis, Glomus manihotis and a mixed AMF strain were
used as biohardening agents to improve survival and growth of in
vitro raised pomegranate plantlets. The above said AMF strains were
also used in this study to enhance the performance of pomegranate
hardwood cuttings in terms of high success rate and subsequently
improved growth, physiological and biochemical attributes of
cutting derived plants.
Indian bus industry, since independence, has been organized along a
mixed pattern of public and private sector ownership. The industry
is dominated by publicly owned State Transport Undertakings (STUs)
since private sector is highly fragmented. Despite their vital
role, STUs in India have not been able to keep pace with the very
rapid and substantial increases in demand of the past few years.
Their service quality in particular has deteriorated, and their
market share has been further reduced as passengers have turned to
personalized transport and intermediate public transport. Apart
from public criticism of inadequate and irregular services provided
under unhealthy conditions of overcrowding and with minimal
passenger comforts and amenities, STUs' financial performance has
also been extremely poor and deteriorating over the years. In the
present scenario, tackling the problem of financial crisis appears
to be the biggest challenge for STUs. This book tries to address
this issue by analyzing, both theoretically and empirically, the
productivity, cost structure, and pricing issues in STUs.
