This book covers various multiple-criteria decision making (mcdm) methods for modeling and optimization of advanced manufacturing processes (AMPs). Processes such as non-conventional machining, rapid prototyping, environmentally conscious machining and hybrid machining are finally put together in a single book. It highlights the research advances and discusses the published literature of the last 15 years in the field. Case studies of real life manufacturing situations are also discussed.

The amazing true story of the man behind modern weather predictionConsider a world without weather prediction. How would we know when to evacuate communities ahead of fires or floods, or figure out what to wear tomorrow? Until 40 years ago, we couldn’t forecast weather conditions beyond ten days. Renowned climate scientist Dr. Jagadish Shukla is largely to thank for modern weather forecasting. Born in rural India with no electricity, plumbing, or formal schools, he...

The author spent one and half years as head of the country's first research station in Antarctica, Dakshin Gangotri. He discusses in details the frozen continent's unique environmental aspects, the international presence, world governance and the Indian Antarctic Programme (IAP). The book throws light on how perspectives and positions of leading countries represented in Antarctica, such as the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, Chile, US, Russia, China, Japan, Norway, South Africa and ...

Digitization and Artificial Intelligence are at the center of every board room conversation these days.  Most CEOs, senior management and boards are less worried about their traditional competitors.  The impact of disruption through digitization is real and quantifiable – 52% of Fortune 500 companies have been replaced since 2000.The task of enabling new digital business models gets exponentially harder as the complexity of systems are greater. Most CIOs, CTOs are struggling with w...
