This book covers the recent progress in fiber-optic communication systems with a main focus on the impact of fiber nonlinearities on the system performance. Over the past few years, there has been significant progress in coherent communication systems mainly because of the advances in digital signal processing techniques. This has led to renewed interest in fiber linear and nonlinear impairments and techniques to mitigate them in electrical domain. In this book, the reader will find all the important topics of fiber optic communication systems in one place with in-depth coverage by the experts of each subtopics. Pioneers from each of the sub-topics have been invited to contribute. Each chapter will have a section on fundamentals, review of literature survey and the recent developments. The reader will benefit from this approach since many of the conference proceedings and journal articles mainly focus on the authors research work without spending space on preliminaries.

The main objective of this work is to provide a low cost alternative for the "literate" deaf people suffering from Sensori Neural Loss and Central loss, or what we call as Permanent Deafness. Though Cochlear Implant is a solution for this problem, it requires the patient to spend Lakhs of rupees for the surgery. In a country like India, not all can afford such a huge amount of money. So, a low cost alternative would definitely help the middle class people. The proposed project describes Isolated Word Recognition of Kannada Digits. The system reads the spoken speech signal. Wavelet transform of the speech signal is taken and MFCC (Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients) are calculated followed by Vector Quantization. Euclidean Distance measure is used to correlate the test speech signal with pre recorded speech signals from the speech database. The nearest match is identified and its respective text equivalent is displayed. The project is carried out for Kannada digits, which can be extended to words later. The programming is done using Matlab

Paclitaxel is a anti-cancer agent, mainly used in the cases of Breast, Cervical and Lung cancers. To increasing bio availability and Extending circulation time (EPR effect) of the drug in blood thereby increasing its half-life. Paclitaxel nanosuspension was prepared by high pressure homogenization method using different concentration of Human Serum Albumin (HSA). A total of 9 formulations of nanosuspensions were prepared by varying concentration of Human Serum Albumin (HSA) and by keeping the drug concentration as constant. All the formulations were developed successfully and evaluation tests have been performed. Human Serum Albumin in different concentrations like 12.5%, 20% and 30% showed very good results

Undoubtedly the first novel ever written where a Medical Transcriptionist plays the role of a protagonist. Author describes the life and struggle of a medical transcriptionist in Canada in a very mundane language, who was forced by destiny to control and change the destiny of others. In patches author touches on recent issue of economic recession and provides a layman's solution to the ongoing problem which seems to engulf the world for eternity.

Tulsidas' Ramacharitmanas is the story of a war against unending vandalism of wild bullies. Terrorism has made a home in every part of the world today. Its sporadic national and international ramifications are making their ugly appearance everywhere and the world is frantically searching for a way to assuage fear and redeem hope. The Ramacharitmanas offers a solution by providing real examples of how to deal with terror. It counsels union for subjugation of a tyrant. It supports the creation of a wonder weapon to kill a savage tyrant but does not advocate a weapon for mass killings. It validates the importance of peaceful negotiation before destroying the evil to protect the good. It indicates more ways than one, of resisting and defending the good; of how the good should encounter an obdurate evil; of how an individual as well as the whole mankind can produce plenty, prosperity and peace. A Garden of Deeds helps the reader understand the epic Ramacharitmanas as not religion but a treatise on discipline and ethics for the individual in his family, in society and in the world at large. It beckons hope and fulfillment.
