This book is designed to serve as a textbook for courses offered to upper-undergraduate students enrolled in physics and explains the broad spectrum of optics in a student-friendly way. The textbook covers the entire syllabi of the undergraduate courses being taught at both national and international universities including adequate details of mathematical expressions to help students understand the subject matter. The topics covered in this book are reflection, refraction, cardinal points, interference, Fresnel diffraction, Fraunhofer diffraction, lasers and holography, fiber optics, etc.This book explains each topic in a simple and lucid language with the help of solved problems. Exercises with multiple choice questions have been given at the end of each chapter for self-assessment. The detailed coverage and pedagogical tools make this an ideal textbook for students and researchers enrolled in senior undergraduate and beginning postgraduate physics students.

In any agricultural country, various types of agricultural commodities are produced in large quantities and to handle such quantities during harvest, post-harvest, processing and transportation, various types of equipment are required. To design particular equipment or determining the behaviour of the product for its handling, physical properties such as size, shape, surface area, volume, density, porosity are very important. Various types of cleaning, grading and separation equipment are designed on the basis of physical properties of seeds such as size, shape, specific gravity etc. The book will provide a fundamental understanding of engineering properties of agricultural produce and the knowledge of engineering properties are combined with engineering knowledge. Each chapter in the book will be helpful for the students to understand the relationship between engineering properties of raw, semi-finished and processed food to obtain products with desired shelf-life and quality. This book discusses basic definitions, principles of engineering properties and their measurement methods with research findings. It will be helpful to the students for their self-study and to gain information how to analyze experimental data to generate practical information. It will also be helpful for students who deal with engineering properties in their research. Methods to measure these properties are also explained in details.

No one can avoid gray hair and wrinkles, but you can prevent your brain from aging. This book is about the discovery that the human brain has its own unique way of healing, and that when it is understood, many brain problems thought to be incurable or irreversible can be improved or even cured. In addition the book will give you the information you need in order to keep your brain functioning at its peak throughout your mature years. Like any other part of the body your brain needs exercise and a balanced diet to maintain its health. Adequate sleep, taking short breaks during work, maintaining an active attitude toward your social life, and developing a mental attitude of curiosity will also help in keeping the aging brain sharp and young. Memory is central to the entire function of the brain and the book gives detail information on how not only to stop decline of memory in old age but even to improve it. There is an old adage that age makes sage. Vanprastha, the third stage of life is the ancient Indian way of becoming a sage as we age. Moreover, Vanprastha is not an exile to the forest but a mental attitude. The chapter Age Makes Sage explains in some detail what this attitude of a Vanprasthi should be and how he ought to conduct himself in this phase of life. Mind and body are integral to each other. The Western view of mind is mechanical while Indian view treats it as a part of the wholeness which comprises of the body, mind and spirit. Yoga plays a prominent part in keeping the mind alert, calm and serene. The book elucidates the point in a lucid manner .

This monograph presents a comprehensive study of portfolio optimization, an important area of quantitative finance. Considering that the information available in financial markets is incomplete and that the markets are affected by vagueness and ambiguity, the monograph deals with fuzzy portfolio optimization models.

This book provides a systematic and focused study of the various aspects of twin support vector machines (TWSVM) and related developments for classification and regression.

Game theory has already proved its tremendous potential for con?ict resolution problems in the ?elds of Decision Theory and Economics. The objective of this book is to present a systematic and focussed study of the application of fuzzy sets to two very basic areas of decision theory, namely Mathematical Programming and Matrix Game Theory.
