When the “Times of India” of July 11, 1936 reported of man-eating Hyenas at large in a U.P. district, the entire district administration were taken aback and went all- out finding them. Could the beasts be found? In the jungles of Himalayan foot-hills a British hunter-photographer goes after a tigress, which had successfully dodged many of her pursuers, for a snapshot. Was he successful? What are the commonalties between the mythological “Unicorn” and the present day Rhinoceros? What “Maha...

This is the story of a young man who steps out of the precincts of IIT Kanpur in 1973 with a dream in his heart - to become an entrepreneur and contribute to nation-building. With no expertise and no means of capital in pre-Liberalization India, he takes the long and winding road with grit and persistence, and gains overseas education on scholarship, and dons multiple hats for eighteen long years before embarking on his mission. A mission that makes the company he set up to pioneer and exc...

The principle of fiscal federalism enshrined in India’s Constitution is under severe strain today. This book is a key addition to understanding the challenges involved. The authors capture the implications of the abolition of the Planning Commission, the introduction of the controversial Goods and Services Tax regime, and formulation of Terms of Reference of the 15th Finance Commission. These include the increase in vertical fiscal inequity, distortion of fairness in inter-State distributi...

This book presents a simple and systematic description of EM design of antenna arrays. Printed dipole antennas are known to be simple yet more efficient than wire antennas. The dielectric substrate and the presence of ground plane affect the antenna performance and the resonant frequency is shifted. This book includes the EM design and performance analysis of printed dipole arrays on planar and cylindrical substrates. The antenna element is taken as half-wave centre-fed dipole. The substra...

This book presents electromagnetic (EM) design and analysis of dipole antenna array over high impedance substrate (HIS). HIS is a preferred substrate for low-profile antenna design, owing to its unique boundary conditions. Such substrates permit radiating elements to be printed on them without any disturbance in the radiation characteristics. Moreover HIS provides improved impedance matching, enhanced bandwidth, and increased broadside directivity owing to total reflection from the reactiv...

Transportation remains one of the largest contributors to global carbon dioxide emissions with the majority of vehicles using fossil-based fuels such as gasoline and diesel. Therefore, alternatives that come from a renewable feedstock and create fewer carbon emissions are urgently needed. Biodiesel, an alternative to fossil-based diesel fuel, can be produced from renewable or waste feedstocks such as biomass, animal fats and industrial wastes making it much more sustainable. However, chall...
