Dynamic Positioning for Engineers enables the reader to acquire the basic knowledge of the concepts and understanding of the dynamic positioning (DP) system from the systems perspective. This book illustrates the system, subsystems and components of the DP system to better tackle maintenance, problems and breakdowns, leading to an increased mean time between failures and effective fault finding on dynamic positioning DP-related equipment. Overall, this text will help profe...

This book highlights methodological approaches for the economics of sustainable development and brings together recent empirical work done in India, especially by Dr. Surender Kumar and Dr. Shunsuke Managi. Various chapters in this book use Indian data to show the very wide applicability of methodologies in the theory of production for dealing with many empirical issues of environmentally sustainable development in a developing country. I congratulate the authors for the time and effort de...

It is important for every DP professional to understand the system well that they are going operate or maintain. Keeping this in view, this book starts with an introduction to the functioning of DP system. Chapter two makes the reader aware of the six degrees of the movements. The understanding of the movements controlled by the DP system and the movements compensated for offsetting the readings of the position reference sensors is explained. Chapter three deals with the seven components o...

This compelling collection explores diverse and transformative sociological concepts, blending timeless philosophies with contemporary insights. From the vision of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and the teachings of Buddha, Osho, and Swami Vivekananda to critical topics like social justice, inertia in societal change, and the sociology of resilience, the book offers a rich tapestry of ideas. It examines the intersections of spirituality, identity, and social adaptation while addressing modern challenge...

The Kumbh Mela, the world's largest and most transient gathering, transforms humble riverbanks into a bustling, temporary megacity. Drawing millions of pilgrims from across the globe, this extraordinary event is a microcosm of faith, society, and human organization. But beyond its spiritual grandeur lies a sociological marvel: how do millions coexist, interact, and sustain themselves in a city that emerges and dissolves in a matter of weeks? In The Temporary Megacity: Lessons from the Kumb...

Human Rights in India: Exploring Social Foundations and Constructs delves into the complex interplay between human rights and the diverse social, cultural, and political landscapes of India. This comprehensive exploration examines the historical evolution of human rights within the Indian context, addressing their intersections with caste, gender, religion, and economic inequality.Through critical analysis and real-world case studies, this book sheds light on how grassroots movemen...

This book offers a critical examination of the caste system and its enduring influence on social, political, and cultural life in India. Drawing inspiration from the writings of B. R. Ambedkar, the book explores the historical origins of caste, the mechanisms through which it reproduces inequality, and the challenges involved in dismantling deeply entrenched social hierarchies.Through an interdisciplinary approach that combines sociology, history, and political theory, the book ana...

The past 2000 years witnessed the downfall and slavery of Hindus. They went on bending the knee to Greeks, Shakes, Huns, Arabs, Mughals, Turks, French and British down the ages. They even showed their backs to a handful of Abysinians and Slaves in the battlefield and rubbed their nose on their doormats.Hindus are proud of their glorious past and valour. They never tire of harping about their culture and unbeatable in human history. But, in reality, what is the truth? Whether their c...

This timely book covers basic mechanisms, characterization, theoretical simulations, and applications for exchange bias in granular nanosystems, thin films, and bulk systems. After an overview of the field and key principles, the next section covers nanogranular (core-shell) systems, followed by chapters on thin films, bilayers/multilayers nanostructures, dilute magnetic semiconductors, and multiferroic systems. A final section turns to bulk systems, such as those consisting of perovskite ...
