The self-contained properties of discotic liquid crystals (DLCs) render them powerful functional materials for many semiconducting device applications and models for energy and charge migration in self-organized dynamic functional soft materials. The past three decades have seen tremendous interest in this area, fueled primarily by the possibility of creating a new generation of organic semiconductors and wide viewing displays using DLCs. While a number of books on classical calamitic liquid crystals are available, there are, as yet, no books that are dedicated exclusively to the basic design principles, synthesis, and physical properties of DLCs. The first reference book to cover DLCs, Chemistry of Discotic Liquid Crystals: From Monomers to Polymers highlights the chemistry and thermal behavior of DLCs. Divided into six chapters, each with a general description, background, and context for the concepts involved, the book begins with a basic introduction to liquid crystals, describing molecular self-assembly and various types of liquid crystals. It outlines their classification, covers their history and general applications, and focuses on DLCs and their discovery, structure, characterization, and alignment. The book goes on to examine the chemistry and physical properties of various monomeric DLCs, including 25 sections describing the synthesis and mesomorphic properties of monomeric DLCs formed by different cores. The bulk of the book covers the chemistry and mesomorphism of discotic dimers, oligomers, and polymers and concludes with a look at some applicable properties of DLCs. A comprehensive and up-to-date resource, this book is designed to be accessible and of value not just for students and researchers but also to the directors and principal investigators working in this field, providing the foundation and fuel to advance this fast-growing technological field.

Still Waiting is the story of Hailey and John. It takes you back to a more simple way of life. A simple man who would do anything for the love of his life, and a girl who grew into a woman who goes after what she wants. The story takes place in the 1930's, but it just as easily could have taken place today. Sincerely, Sandeep [email protected]

Agent-based Semantic Web Service Composition closely examines the various aspects of SWS composition, and explores the concept that a Multi-Agent system can serve as an SWS composition system in which its agents can interact with one another to satisfy a high-level goal. In addition to surveying various proposed multi-agent-based SWS composition models, the book also highlights the cognitive parameter-based semantic web service selection models that can be used in multi-agent-based SWS composition, and outlines a new negotiation agreement-based SWS composition that can outperform existing techniques. Agent-based Semantic Web Service Composition is intended for researchers and practitioners as a reference guide for optimizing SWS composition and implementing multi-agent systems. Instructors and other academics working in a related field will also find the book invaluable.

The "SANDHI OF SANSKRIT WORDS" is a web based system for enabling the computer to analyze the joining of Sanskrit language words. "analyze the joining" means, among other things, knowing what concepts a word joining stands for and how to link those concepts together in a meaningful way. The system belongs to the wider domain of Artificial Intelligence. The system is meant to serve as a web application accessible to users throughout the globe. The system might act as a tutorial for the understanding semantic of a language. The goal of the SANDHI OF SANSKRIT WORDS is to analyze, understand, and generate languages that humans use naturally, so that eventually the user will be able to address his computer as though he was addressing another person. All natural languages abide by X Bar theory which is based on the premise that all phrases in all languages have the same structure, only difference is the linear order. In this system the word joining is analyzed on the basis of "ASTADHYAYI" sutras.

The traditional treatment for brain cancer includes surgery, Radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The neurosurgeon usually plans the surgery by utilizing two Dimensional MRI images. It is difficult to determine the size and exact location of tumor for safest surgical approach to minimizing permanent damage to normal tissue. In this study such problems are minimized by creating the 3D printed models of brain tumors from medical imaging processing software by utilizing MRI data sets. The data from MRI has been saved as DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine). The 3D model of patient's specific brain tumor will be produced by interfacing DICOM data with 3D slicer. 3D printer can produce solid 3D model using STL file generated from 3D slicer. 3D printed model of Brain Tumor could serve as a tool for preoperative surgical planning.
