Getting Started for Internet of Things with Launch Pad and ESP8266 provides a platform to get started with the Ti launch pad and IoT modules for Internet of Things applications. The book provides the basic knowledge of Ti launch Pad and ESP8266 based customized modules with their interfacing, along with the programming. The book discusses the application of Internet of Things in different areas. Several examples for rapid prototyping are included, this to make the readers understand the concept of IoT. The book comprises of twenty-seven chapters, which are divided into four sections and which focus on the design of various independent prototypes. Section-A gives a brief introduction to Ti launch pad (MSP430) and Internet of Things platforms like GPRS, NodeMCU and NuttyFi (ESP8266 customized board), and it shows steps to program these boards. Examples on how to interface these boards with display units, analog sensors, digital sensors and actuators are also included, this to make reader comfortable with the platforms. Section-B discusses the communication modes to relay the data like serial out, PWM and I2C. Section-C explores the IoT data loggers and shows certain steps to design and interact with the servers. Section-D includes few IoT based case studies in various fields. This book is based on the practical experience of the authors while undergoing projects with students and partners from various industries.

Today's customer-oriented operational philosophy has forced organizations to face the challenge of transforming into digital businesses to meet growing customer demand. The reality is that power is shifting from institutions to customers, so it's up to providers to master both customer experience and digital operational excellence. However, despite this turn toward digitalization, many businesses struggle to manage their technology base strategically. Disruptive Innovation and Emerging Technologies for Business Excellence in the Service Sector provides an in-depth exploration of options that can assist organizations in developing a consistent and coherent view of various drivers in order to shape their markets and operations as well as how disruptive innovations and emerging technologies can contribute to businesses now and in the future. Covering a wide range of topics such as sustainable transportation and customer service experiences, it is ideal for industry professionals, researchers, academicians, instructors, decision makers, and students.

Hydrophobic character, logP is a physico-chemical property of solute. Knowledge of this hydrophobic character plays an important role to decide the solutes' ability to interface with biochemical systems. It is the measure of the ease with which drug penetrate membranes and bind to lipophilic surface. N-arylbenzohydroxamic acids is drug like molecules it act as anticancer, antiviral, antibacterial etc. and their hydrophobic nature play important role in drug development.

Oral health is an integral part of general health. An improvement in the oral health may play an integral role in improving the general health, adequate instructions in proper care of the teeth and oral tissues is thus essential. It is the responsibility of the health system to provide proper information about maintenance of oral health and available health facilities for general and oral health. In turn the community should use these facilities for their general and oral health betterment. This community is neglected like the old age people by the society and profession. Even though new found sporadic attention is given to this population with medical facility almost nil attention is given for their oral health care. The prisoners also deserve equal rights for their health attention. Keeping the above matter in consideration a specific oral health survey has been taken up on the inmates of prisoners of Lucknow prison in state of Uttar Pradesh to assess their oral health status so that needed treatment can be planned accordingly by concerned authorities.

N-Arylhydroxamic acids are drug like molecules. Biological activity always depends upon physico-chemical property namely lipophilicity, which has direct impact on the potency of the molecule. Partition coefficient is a measure of how well a substance partitions between a lipid and water.The partition coefficient has a strong influence on ADME properties of molecules. Both of these parameters are important factor in QSAR.

Reciprocity has been critical in the philosophy and social sciences of the 20th century. Over the last seven decades, several countries settled by European powers have become autonomous, and returning has become a challenge. Consequently, writing on reciprocity as a central theme requires time and implies a deep dedication to the community. There is a need to explore the factors and policies behind the study agendas and secret philosophies before and after European involvement. Reciprocity and Its Practice in Social Research aims to open the controlled consciousness of self as a human being and then as a scholar to the community via the methodological lens. It analyzes reciprocity from the Greek tradition to Medeabale Arab to the early colonial or pre-colonial period. It specifically addresses the benefit of social research on the community and seeks ways to revolutionize and improve current research and academic processes. Covering topics such as the philosophy of science, indigenous science, and Western metaphysics, this book is an essential resource for anthropologists, philosophers, sociologists, university faculty and administration, students of higher education, librarians, researchers, and academicians.
