The immense increase on the size and type of real time data generated across various edge computing platform results in unstructured databases and data silos. This edited book gathers together an international set of researchers to investigate the possibilities offered by data-fabric solutions; the volume focuses in particular on data architectures and on semantic changes in future data landscapes.

Agri 4.0 and the Future of Cyber-Physical Agricultural Systems is the first book to explore the potential use of technology in agriculture with the focus on the technologies, enabling the reader to better comprehend the full range of CPS opportunities. From planning to distribution, CPS technologies are available to impact agricultural output, delivery and consumption. The impact for food security may be significant and this book explores ways to implement CPS effectively and appropriately. Technology, especially computing technology, can play a significant in the field of agriculture by processing digitized data to solve the complex agronomic, agricultural demand and supply issues that impact the food supply chain, and ultimately food security. In Agri 4.0, the cyber physical system synchronously interacts with agricultural systems to control and execute the operation autonomously. Digitalization of agriculture integrates digital computers to assist the processes of agriculture with its digitized data and its allied technology including AI, Computer Vision, Big data, Block chain and IoT. Agri 4.0 digitalizes, estimate, plan, predict, and produce the optimum agricultural inputs and outputs for the required for commercial purposes. It can be used to get a fair, transparent and accountable process to serve the stakeholders. The convergence of IoT, ML, Big data and 5G networks have opened new possibilities to explore and exploit the cyber physical agricultural systems. The management and practices of smart multi-layer architecture and smart supply chain are one of the key application areas in Agri 4.0. The global team of authors also presents important insights into promising areas of precision agriculture, autonomous systems, smart farming environment, smart production monitoring, pest detection and recovery, sustainable industrial practices and government policies in Agri 4.0.

Gambling like many other pathological diseases is the result of compulsive disorder which is the central theme of this book. The world faces the problem very much. Physically and psychologically healthy people create better society but pathological gamblers fail to adjust in the society. The healing power of Vedic-Mantra can't be overlooked as for as psychological health of man is concerned. The present scholarly study deal with the solution of the compulsive behaviour with the help of psychotherapy, astrotherapy and vipassana meditation which prove panacea for the gamblers. The study undoubtedly will prove the 'torch bearer' for further and advanced research in the respective area. Valuable suggestion is welcomed from dear readers and renowned psychologist as well as astrologist.

For human being fear is a common phenomena but it differs from person to person in quantity. But absurd or irrational fear causes distorted behaviour which is a matter of psychological study.Different types of phobic patients are gradually increasing throughout the world. This is a serious problem for individual and society. Therefore, professionals are trying to provide appropriate treatments for the patients.Planets are also responsible for psychological sickness. To cure the phobic patients, I applied psychotherapy but some of them were not cured. Then guided by my research mind, I applied Astrotherapy with appropriate Indian Vedic mantra and suitable stones and the result was wonderful. Chemical formation happens in the human body when the sun rays enter in the human blood through stones and phobic patients are cured. This book will prove to be the 'torch bearer' for the clinical psychologist and astrologist. It is hoped that the book will be found useful to the professionals who are actively engaged in the field of research and treatment of mentally sick person. The Author will like to thanks our honorable readers for their invaluable suggestions and comments on the book.

This thesis concerns the study of fragmentation dynamics of highly charged triatomic and polyatomic molecular ions created by high energy electron impact on neutrals. A momentum spectrometer was designed and assembled to carry out the study. An event-by-event reconstruction of the momentum space spanned by the fragments helped us to study various aspects of dissociation, such as identification of channels, lifetime of metastables, kinetic energy release, angular distribution of fragments and preferential bond breaking. Some deductions are supported by quantum chemical computations. The symmetry of a molecular ion is often different from that of the ground state of the neutral. For a linear triatomic, CO_2, we deduced that geometry of the dication is different from that of the neutral. For polyatomics such as CCl_4 and SF_6, the change is very substantial and involves migration of atoms. In addition, we have identified certain stability patterns in the fragments. The stability depends on the possibility of forming filled hybrid molecular orbitals, which in turn is related to even/odd electron numbers in the fragment ions.
