Lean construction, originating from the principles of the Lean Production System developed by Toyota in the 1950s, has emerged as a transformative approach in the field of construction management. This philosophy places a strong emphasis on eliminating waste, optimizing efficiency, and fostering continuous improvement throughout the construction process. In the context of developing countries, where challenges such as limited resources, tight budgets, and rapid urbanization are prevalent, the adoption of lean construction principles becomes particularly relevant and beneficial.

The potential utilization of waste ceramics in concrete presents a compelling avenue for enhancing sustainability in construction practices. Waste ceramics, which would otherwise contribute to environmental concerns, can be ingeniously repurposed to strengthen and augment concrete structures. By incorporating these discarded ceramics into concrete mixes, we not only mitigate the environmental impact of ceramic waste but also enhance the material properties of concrete. The unique properties of ceramics, such as high compressive strength and durability, contribute significantly to the overall performance of the resulting composite material. This sustainable approach not only reduces the demand for traditional raw materials but also minimizes the ecological footprint associated with ceramic disposal. The synergy between waste ceramics and concrete holds the promise of fostering environmentally responsible construction practices, thereby contributing to a more resilient and eco-friendly built environment.

Biological activity of a tumour is determined by a balance between proliferative and apoptotic activity of its neoplastic cells. A simultaneous assessment of proliferative and apoptotic activities may be of great help in assessing pathomorphological behavior of tumour. This book addresses two methods for identifying neoplastic cells in different phases of cell cycle, one by the use of AgNoR dots and non-AgNOR dots in nuclei in histological sections after AgNOR staining and another by identifying cells in quiescent or proliferative state as well as identification of necrotic / apoptotic cells in formalin fixed tissue sections after modified AO staining technique in NMU induced tumours in rats. It has got immense importance in prognostic, diagnostic and therapeutic decisions on tumour. These protocols have a potential to evolve as a test to help in selection of most appropriate chemotherapeutic agent against a particular tumour. The book contains good amount of experimental evidences which will enable the students, teachers and research worker as reference tool to obtain information quickly as and when necessary.
