This book examines ancient Buddhist traditions centered around water. It studies the sustainability and conservation practices of Buddhist monastics and examines how these early practices and ethos are applicable in the contemporary world. The author draws on literary and archaeological sources across cultures and religions to trace the different socio-economic and cultural traditions that utilise water, to formulate a pathway to save water in its purest form.A unique contribution, this book will be an essential read for scholars and researchers of environmental studies, climate change, sustainable development, religious studies, and Buddhist history. It will also be useful to environmentalists and policymakers.

श्रीहनुमानचालीसा (तुलसीकृत) एक अत्यन्त लघु सद्ग्रन्थ होने के बावजूद एक बहुत ही शक्तिशाली ग्रन्थ है जिसका प्रभाव त्वरित परिलक्षित होता है। इसलिए यह विश्व में सबसे ज्यादा गाये जाने वाला लघु सद्ग्रन्थ है।इस लघु पुस्तिका 'मानस - गंगाः- श्रीहनुमानचालीसा - चालीसा में मानस' में श्रीहनुमानचालीसा को गोस्वामी तुलसीदास कृत श्रीरामचरितमानस से जोड़ने का प्रयास किया गया है। यह एक अनूठा प्रयोग है। जिससे पाठकों को मानस (रामायण) से कुछ विशेष अंश- चौपाई और दोहे और सम्पूर्ण श्रीहनुमानचालीसा एक साथ, एक ही जगह उपलब्ध हो सकेंगे। इसके परिणाम स्वरूप पाठकगण समानान्तर दोनों का ही पाठ कर सकेंगे।- श्रीहनुमानचालीसा - 'चालीसा में मानस' का उद्देश्य पाठकों को श्रीहनुमानचालीसा के साथ-साथ श्रीरामचरितमानस का परायण करने का अवसर प्रदान करना है।- श्रीहनुमानचालीसा के साथ मानस- रामायण का पाठ करना श्री हनुमान जी द्वारा एक शुभाशीष और अभय प्रदान करता है।- इससे पाठकों को श्रीरामचरितमानस में वर्णित विशेष प्रसंगों व परिस्थितियों का एक संदर्भ व परिप्रेक्ष्य प्राप्त होगा जो श्रीहनुमानचालीसा के पाठ-पठन को सार्थक कर देगा।- श्रीरामचरितमानस के माध्यम से श्री हनुमानजी के पुनीत चरित्र, उनके कर्म योग, ज्ञान योग और भक्ति योग की महिमा को पाठकगण आत्मसात करने में सक्षम होंगे।

This book considered the analysis and design of networked control systems with the communication delay and data loss, which are responsible for degradation of the control performance. Predictive control strategy is applied to compensate the communication delay and data loss in the NCS. The stability and the system performance of the close-loop networked control system are analyzed. Also, this control strategy is applied to a DC servo control system with communication delay and data packet loss. The stability of the closed-loop networked predictive control system has been analyzed and the comparison with other existing networked control methods like H_∞ control 20], Networked predictive control for random network delays in both forward and feedback channels 21] and Model-based control 22].

Apart from industrial robots there is another class of robots which are of interest to space industry for its lightweight structure. The lightweight flexible robots are advantageous compared to rigid ones in several fronts such as higher payload-to-arm weight ratio, faster execution, and low power actuator requirements. But with these advantages, there lies an array of control complexities in Flexible Robot manipulators, as the modelling and control of a flexible robot is complex and difficult due to under actuated behavior, non linear time varying and distributed system parameters. In the past, many control strategies have been proposed for the tip position control of flexible link robots but most of these techniques have not considered actuator dynamics in modelling and experimental validation is not carried out.The book shows the use of a non linear model of a single link flexible robot manipulator obtained using Assumed Mode Method (AMM). The actuator dynamics has also been incorporated in the modelling of the single link flexible robot. The model thus obtained is experimentally validated using SIMULINK/MATLAB.
