This book focuses on futuristic approaches and designs for real-time systems and applications, as well as the fundamental concepts of including advanced techniques and tools in models of data-driven blockchain ecosystems. The Data-Driven Blockchain Ecosystem: Fundamentals, Applications, and Emerging Technologies discusses how to implement and manage processes for releasing and delivering blockchain applications. It presents the core of blockchain technology, IoT-based and AI-based blockchain systems, and various manufacturing areas related to Industry 4.0. The book illustrates how to apply design principles to develop and manage blockchain networks, and also covers the role that cloud computing plays in blockchain applications. All major technologies involved in blockchain-embedded applications are included in this book, which makes it useful to engineering students, researchers, academicians, and professionals interested in the core of blockchain technology.

This book is designed to offer a lively applied presentation of analytical and empirical tool for Linkage Model of network of queues with a flowshop scheduling system. This introductory text provides a concise and practical introduction to the primary concepts and techniques of Linkage Model. A lot of research work has already been done separately in the field of Queuing and Scheduling. A few efforts has been recorded so far to combine these two systems. The present work is an attempt to establish the linkage between these two systems of optimization. The Queuing-Scheduling linkage models are motivated by the fact that they are more meaningful from practical point of view. The illustrated examples format introduced in the text for every concept helps the reader to formulate the realistic problems easily. The C++ programmes under various sections will enable the readers and industrial people to apply these concepts practically. This book can be read without any prior knowledge of Queuing and Scheduling theory and may be of interest to all people.

Fracture Shaft Humerus is a frequently seen problem in orthopedic practice. In the recent past high energy trauma and industrialisation have compounded the problem. Due to high velocity injuries suffered by the patient the complexity of fracture pattern also has increased. The available literature gives a variety of options to treat this fracture ranging from conservative methods to various implant devices. Present work focusses on analysing the problem that we face today and also to evaluate the results obtained by different treatment methods in fracture shaft humerus.

This book is an attempt to measure the productivity performance of fertiliser industry in India. This industry has played a remarkable role in increasing the productivity of Indian agriculture. At this backdrop, the analysis of productivity related aspects of this industry becomes highly significant. In this book, an attempt is made to study the productivity performance of fertiliser industry in the pre- and post-liberalization era using the econometric and growth accounting analysis. The various components of the productivity growth, viz. returns to scale, technical progress, elasticity of substitution and technical bias are also estimated. Findings of the study indicate productivity gain in Indian fertiliser industry in the pre- as well as post-liberalization period. Indian fertiliser Industry has performed reasonably well on productivity performance front inspite of the uncertain policy environment created by the Government due to its lopsided policies. Therefore there is an urgent need on the part of Government of India to undertake sustainable policy measures, which can put Indian fertiliser industry on a higher productivity growth trajectory.
