This book presents the results on magnetic, magneto-thermal and magneto-transport studies in some rare earth-based intermetallic compounds. The main aim of the present work was to investigate the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) and magnetoresistance (MR) in some intermetallics system, which have not received much attention. This was done by understanding the magnetic, magneto-thermal and magneto-transport behavior of these materials. With the objective of identifying some practical magnetic refrigerant materials, emphasis was given on systems showing first order magnetic transition, multiple...

The book entitled with "Solution Ionophoretic Technique in Study of Metal-Ligand Equilibria" deals with solution ionophoretic technique,which is used for the determination of the stability constants of metal complexes is better than other physiochemical methods but it has some vitiating factors (e.g. diffusion, ionic strength and temperature). This technique is free from these vitiating factors and results are fairly reliable. The technique used in these studies proved to be very useful in studying the stepwise complextion in solution. The special electrophoretic tube which has been designed...

Fractal filter is a new member in the family of filters. They have peculiar properties that make them interesting. Euclidean structures have whole number dimensions, such as a one-dimensional line or a two dimensional plane. One property of a certain class of fractals is that it can have an infinite length while fitting in a finite volume. Looking at geometries whose dimensions are not limited to integers may lead to the discovery of filters with improved characteristics which exists today. Fractal filters have shown the possibility to miniaturize filters and to improve input matching.In this...

This work deals with the behaviours of nasal in Hindi, an Indo-Aryan language spoken in India. In Hindi, sometimes the nasal spreads its feature unto the vowels resulting in nasalization, sometimes it gets assimilated with neighbouring consonants and sometimes, they behave like nasal mutes. When they are nasal mutes, they neither spread their nasality feature nor are they assimilated with adjacent consonants. Phonologists made many attempts to deal with this problem, but we are still away from addressing this issue. The present work makes an attempt to address and answer the problem.
