One Elephant, Two Monkeys is a bilingual (Hindi and English) book that introduces children to numbers, animal names and colour names through a little boys adventures with his animal friends. It can be read aloud to toddlers and preschoolers (2-4 year olds) or used to introduce emerging readers (4-7 year olds) to new...

This work explores the use of composite nanotechnology for thin coatings on various substrates. It compiles recent advances in nanocomposite coatings for experienced researchers and provides background information for those new to the field. The book not only explains the synthesis of bulk nanocomposite materials, it describes their application in areas such as the automotive and packaging industries. It explains how nanocomposite coatings provide a gas barrier to the substrate foil or laminate and how the coatings are used to provide properties such as anti-scratch and anti-corrosion....

Strategic decision-making focusing on economics is the fundamental requirement to generate efficiency and improve productivity in any manufacturing environment.  In the 21st century, the science of drug development is an established field that requires a dedicated and synergistic partnership between various subject matter experts.  Unfortunately, pharmaceutical research is complicated, time-consuming, attritive, and costly, with development costs ranging from $4 billion to $11 billion per commercialized drug.  There are more than 750 biotech and big pharma companies in the...

Since the publication of the successful first edition of the book in 2010, the field has matured and a large number of advancements have been made to the science of polymer nanotube nanocomposites (PNT) in terms of synthesis, filler surface modification, as well as properties. Moreover, a number of commercial applications have been realized. The aim of this second volume of the book is, thus, to update the information presented in the first volume as well as to incorporate the recent research and industrial developments.

This edited volume brings together contributions from...

In areas such as military, security, aerospace, and disaster management, the need for performance optimization and interoperability among heterogeneous systems is increasingly important. Model-driven engineering, a paradigm in which the model becomes the actual software, offers a promising approach toward systems of systems (SoS) engineering. However, model-driven engineering has largely been unachieved in complex dynamical systems and netcentric SoS, partly because modeling and simulation (M&S) frameworks are stove-piped and not designed for SoS composability. Addressing this gap,...
