Film has always acted as a window to the society where it brings out various essences of life. India has always shown prominence in representing its inheritance and rich cultural lineage through different layers of films. Right from “Raja Harishchandra” as a full-length feature film in 1913 to the most contemporary films released on OTT, everything and everyone embedded in any of the films made in India has some level of relevance to the time and society, therefore, they can be called contemporary while projecting some form of social message through their presence. The book “Indian Contemporary Films and Societal Reflection” presents a collection of a list of reviews based on some of the perspectives and concepts portrayed through films like commercialism, gender identity, gender representation, portrayal of power, cinema as a form of art, casteism in cinema, political discourse in cinema, inequality, resilience, relationship, oppression, animation, celluloid reverberations, propaganda and agenda planning, and many more. The twenty-six enthralling chapters from forty-nine authors are collected in this book, which would provide an extensive understanding of different perspectives of films and help identify the societal portrayal of films in various ways.

With nearly 7 billion mobile phone subscriptions worldwide, mobility and computing have become pervasive in our society and business. Moreover, new mobile multimedia communication services are challenging telecommunication operators. To support the significant increase in multimedia traffic—especially video—over wireless networks, new technological infrastructure must be created. Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs) are widely regarded as one of the most promising technologies for future wireless communications. This book explains how to efficiently deliver video, audio, and other data over CRNs. Covering advanced algorithms, protocols, and hardware-/software-based experiments, this book describes how to encode video in a prioritized way to send to dynamic radio links. It discusses different FEC codes for video reliability and explains how different machine learning algorithms can be used for video quality control. It also explains how to use readily available software tools to build a CRN simulation model. This book explains both theoretical and experimental designs. It describes how universal software radio peripheral (USRP) boards can be used for real-time, high-resolution video transmission. It also discusses how a USRP board can sense the spectrum dynamics and how it can be controlled by GNU Radio software. A separate chapter discusses how the network simulator ns-2 can be used to build a simulated CRN platform.

This book contains the new theories for evolution of matter and life on earth. The complete and unique process showing the existence of everything in the Universe has been defined and presented with new concept. The processes of evolution have been written first and the outcome is logically correct as per the existence of everything that we observe in day to day life.The Universe is full of truth, facts and certain probabilities. The factors affecting the probability of existence or happening of the things are infinite in the Universe and thus, under normal condition, the scientists would stick in limits of the Principle of Uncertainty. One cannot determine a fixed value through Uncertainty. Everything is Uncertain at some point of time if compared at different intervals depending on the period of intervals the factors affecting the thing occurs. If the things are within the scope of reach of the understand ability of the scientist, then he will treat it as certain and if goes beyond his understand ability, then he will treat these results as Uncertain. In this book, it is proved that everything is certain based on Permutation and Combination. The permutation and combination methods of nature follow numerous steps with the involvement of numerous factors that gives the results too exhaustive for the humans to consider the result as certain without the concept of using Permutation and Combination.The scientist trying to mixing different theories to reach a new theory will not allow them to reach the conclusive point but instead of earning the livelihood. As so many scientists are working and their thoughts will result in the outcome of the theory based on the use of knowledge that they used from their intrinsic thoughts. There must be one value that would always be fixed and certain at a given point of time. Means, if any reference is changed, then the result has to change. That is, we only work on things whose references are according to our scope and reach, established in advance. The permutation and combination of intrinsic outcome of any of the scientists will lead him to result that would be certain. In case of scientists stuck in Uncertainty, they will try to measure the size of Universe, an object and electrons with the concept that has been written by me couple of years back, that to, know, the size of a thing, tangible or intangible, at least one end is necessary to be known. Here, only the size of an object can be in the scope of the humans.However, this book does not follow the principle of Uncertainty that makes the things more complicated instead of reaching to the solution. The Limitation of scope of humans is so large that very rare would understand the science and society. But this book presents the new dimensions of thoughts to the readers, in this regard.

This book is based on Probabilities that can be variable from zero to one. This means - the probability of any event mentioned in this book is 'nil' to 'hundred-percent-surety'. Thus, the people have to accept it as a possibility and the proof may not be available but can be found by own. Also, in such a case, the person loses right to question about facts. Since, it is not necessary that everyone loses life while driving motorcycle without helmet even on busy road.A person is poor then it doesn't mean he will be good for all. If someone is discriminated it doesn't ensure he will not be biased. If woman is mother, it doesn't mean she cannot betray. A person may be follower of a holy religion but does he thinks himself equal among all.My eyes can see everything in noon, Instead they failed to watch the Sun.Lest, they see nothing in darkYet can watch darkness whole night.I donated for them Those have never been seen.As I hated to care themEven they needed me so keen.Though I tried to prey others peace in whole.During death time I prayed for tranquillity of my soul.Being true and correct is not an easy task. A person is bound to live a double standard life; one for himself which is sometime unknown to him also, the second is for others which he pretends while he is revealed without his acknowledgement. This leads to the disturbance of peace among the individuals and resonate to the whole lives. This book reveals the reasons which limit the people to accomplish peace.

This book is based on probabilities that can be variable from 0 to 1. This means that the probability of any event mentioned in this book is nil to 100 percent surety. Thus, the people have to accept it as a possibility, and the proof may not be available but can be found by own. Also, in such a case, the person loses the right to question about facts. It is not necessary that everyone loses a life while driving a motorcycle without helmet, even on busy road. If a person is poor, it doesnt mean that he will be good for all. If someone is discriminated against, it doesnt ensure that he will not be biased. If woman is a mother, it doesnt mean she cannot betray. A person may be follower of a holy religion, but he may not think of himself as equal among all. My eyes can see everything in noon, Instead they failed to watch the sun. Lest, they see nothing in dark Yet can watch darkness whole night. I donated for them Those have never been seen. As I hated to care for them, Even they needed me so keen. Though I tried to prey on others peace in whole. During death time I prayed for tranquility of my soul. Being true and correct is not an easy task. A person is bound to live a double standard lifeone for himself, which is sometime unknown to him, and the second is for others, where he pretends while he is revealed without his acknowledgement. This leads to the disturbance of peace among the individuals, and this resonates through their whole lives. This book reveals the reasons that limit the people to accomplish peace.

Provides a global view of the recent advances in the biological sciences and the adaption of the pathogen to the host plants revealed using NGS. Molecular Omic’s is now a major driving force to learn the adaption genetics and a great challenge to the scientific community, which can be resolved through the application of the NGS technologies. The availability of complete genome sequences, the respective model species for dicot and monocot plant groups, presents a global opportunity to delineate the identification, function and the expression of the genes, to develop new tools for the identification of the new genes and pathway identification. Genome-wide research tools, resources and approaches such as data mining for structural similarities, gene expression profiling at the DNA and RNA level with rapid increase in available genome sequencing efforts, expressed sequence tags (ESTs), RNA-seq, gene expression profiling, induced deletion mutants and insertional mutants, and gene expression knock-down (gene silencing) studies with RNAi and microRNAs have become integral parts of plant molecular omic’s. Molecular diversity and mutational approaches present the first line of approach to unravel the genetic and molecular basis for several traits, QTL related to disease resistance, which includes host approaches to combat the pathogens and to understand the adaptation of the pathogen to the plant host. Using NGS technologies, understanding of adaptation genetics towards stress tolerance has been correlated to the epigenetics. Naturally occurring allelic variations, genome shuffling and variations induced by chemical or radiation mutagenesis are also being used in functional genomics to elucidate the pathway for the pathogen and stress tolerance and is widely illustrated in demonstrating the identification of the genes responsible for tolerance in plants, bacterial and fungal species.

Spectrum Sharing in Wireless Networks: Fairness, Efficiency, and Security provides a broad overview of wireless network spectrum sharing in seven distinct sections: The first section examines the big picture and basic principles, explaining the concepts of spectrum sharing, hardware/software function requirements for efficient sharing, and future trends of sharing strategies. The second section contains more than 10 chapters that discuss differing approaches to efficient spectrum sharing. The authors introduce a new coexistence and sharing scheme for multi-hop networks, describe the space-time sharing concept, introduce LTE-U, and examine sharing in broadcast and unicast environments. They then talk about different cooperation strategies to achieve mutual benefits for primary users (PU) and secondary users (SU), discuss protocols in a spectrum sharing context, and provide different game theory models between PUs and SUs. The third section explains how to model the interactions of PUs and SUs, using an efficient calculation method to determine spectrum availability. Additionally, this section explains how to use scheduling models to achieve efficient SU traffic delivery. The subject of the fourth section is MIMO-oriented design. It focuses on how directional antennas and MIMO antennas greatly enhance wireless network performance. The authors include a few chapters on capacity/rate calculations as well as beamforming issues under MIMO antennas. Power control is covered in the fifth section which also describes the interference-aware power allocation schemes among cognitive radio users and the power control schemes in cognitive radios. The sixth section provides a comprehensive look at security issues, including different types of spectrum sharing attacks and threats as well as corresponding countermeasure schemes. The seventh and final section covers issues pertaining to military applications and examines how the military task protects its data flows when sharing the spectrum with civilian applications.

Solving Free-boundary Problems with Applications in Finance

If something is an illusion, you can describe it if and only if you have escaped from the illusion. The person who himself is a part of the illusion cannot describe it. In India, the people do not like corruption but have to be corrupt to sustain themselves. The people do not want to discriminate, but they have to do so to maintain superiority. The people want to be true but do not know the truth. The people want to be patriotic but are successful only if they are traitorous. So the Indian society is an illusion. This is all due to the fact that the group of people the society believes in is not faithful, those who safeguard the country do not know whom to fight and whom to spare, the people who control finance are not the owners of the money, and the people who really work hard are paid the least. This is all due to the fact that every person or flock has different ideas, concepts, logic, or knowledge. The book is decisive for the Indian society if read with a positive attitude toward humanity.
