This book provides good coverage of the powerful numerical techniques namely, finite element and wavelets, for the solution of partial differential equation to the scientists and engineers with a modest mathematical background. The objective of the book is to provide the necessary mathematical foundation for the advanced level applications of these numerical techniques. The book begins with the description of the steps involved in finite element and wavelets-Galerkin methods. The knowledge of Hilbert and Sobolev spaces is needed to understand the theory of finite element and wavelet-based methods. Therefore, an overview of essential content such as vector spaces, norm, inner product, linear operators, spectral theory, dual space, and distribution theory, etc. with relevant theorems are presented in a coherent and accessible manner. For the graduate students and researchers with diverse educational background, the authors have focused on the applications of numerical techniques which are developed in the last few decades. This includes the wavelet-Galerkin method, lifting scheme, and error estimation technique, etc. Features:• Computer programs in Mathematica/Matlab are incorporated for easy understanding of wavelets.• Presents a range of workout examples for better comprehension of spaces and operators.• Algorithms are presented to facilitate computer programming.• Contains the error estimation techniques necessary for adaptive finite element method. This book is structured to transform in step by step manner the students without any knowledge of finite element, wavelet and functional analysis to the students of strong theoretical understanding who will be ready to take many challenging research problems in this area.

This book addresses software faults—a critical issue that not only reduces the quality of software, but also increases their development costs. Various models for predicting the fault-proneness of software systems have been proposed; however, most of them provide inadequate information, limiting their effectiveness. This book focuses on the prediction of number of faults in software modules, and provides readers with essential insights into the generalized architecture, different techniques, and state-of-the art literature. In addition, it covers various software fault datasets and issues that crop up when predicting number of faults. A must-read for readers seeking a “one-stop” source of information on software fault prediction and recent research trends, the book will especially benefit those interested in pursuing research in this area. At the same time, it will provide experienced researchers with a valuable summary of the latest developments.

Repetitive Corrugation and Straightening (RCS) process is one of the Severe Plastic Deformation (SPD) techniques which introduces a large amount of plastic deformation in a sheet workpiece without significantly changing its cross-sectional geometry. In present work experimentation and Finite Element (FE) study of Repetitive Corrugation and Straightening (RCS) process is being attempted. The work is done in two parts i.e. Finite Element Study and Experimentation work. In the Finite Element study, the effect of triangular and circular teeth effect has been studied and an intermediate teeth design is used. The teeth are of triangular in shape with a rounded top. Experimentation of RCS process is attempted with a 100mm x 100mm x 1 mm of Al6061 sheet. Experimentation was performed for three cycles of RCS process giving 90 Clockwise rotation along the perpendicular axis to the surface after each pass. Three mechanical tests were performed viz. Micro Hardness test, Tensile test and Stiffness test. To study the effect of the process these tests were performed on processed as well as unprocessed sheet sample. The hardness test shows an increase in hardness after every pass.

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]

The book initially presents the basic concepts related to the Semantic Web, Semantic Web-based applications, Web applications, Ontology, and their qualitative aspects. It then presents the evaluation of the structural quality of modular ontologies and review on metrics for the evaluation of ontology behavior.Further, the book discusses the qualitative evaluation of Semantic Web applications deployed on the Cloud, helping readers understand, maintain, integrate, and reuse these applications. The book offers software engineers in general and ontology engineers in particular a single, valuable guide to help them find the best modularization on the basis of goodness of (re) use. It can also serve as an initial source of information for starting research in this domain.

This book focuses on exploring the use of software fault prediction in building reliable and robust software systems. It is divided into the following chapters: Chapter 1 presents an introduction to the study and also introduces basic concepts of software fault prediction. Chapter 2 explains the generalized architecture of the software fault prediction process and discusses its various components. In turn, Chapter 3 provides detailed information on types of fault prediction models and discusses the latest literature on each model. Chapter 4 describes the software fault datasets and diverse issues concerning fault datasets when building fault prediction models. Chapter 5 presents a study evaluating different techniques on the basis of their performance for software fault prediction. Chapter 6 presents another study evaluating techniques for predicting the number of faults in the software modules. In closing, Chapter 7 provides a summary of the topics discussed. The book will beof immense benefit to all readers who are interested in starting research in this area. In addition, it offers experienced researchers a valuable overview of the latest work in this area.

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.

This book covers in-depth discussion of design principles, synthesis and thermal behavior of all types of liquid crystal (LC) dimers. The text presents recent advances in the field of LC dimers consisting of different mesogenic units such as calamitic, discotic and bent-core molecules. It starts with a chapter on the introduction of liquid crystal dimers, including their odd-even behavior, basic classification of dimers and common mesophases in dimers. The text shows how the molecular architectures are being used to develop new materials to study a range of interesting phenomena such as the biaxial nematic phase containing rod-like and disc-like mesogenic units. Finally, the text presents perspectives related to technological relevance of these dimers such as dopants in LC display mixtures exhibiting faster relaxation time, strong flexoelectric coupling and others to effect control over the properties of these materials.
