Today's World is now-a-days completely dependent on Digital systems. To fulfill the need of Digital circuits has raised up to the maximum level. For this reason we the authors have designed this fundamental book for beginners to fulfill the basic needs of a graduate student. Digital IC design is a procedural process that involves converting specifications and features into digital blocks and then further into logic circuits. Many of the constraints associated with digital IC design come fr...

Environmental social scientist Urooj Raja explores how to promote environmental action through the repurposing of six hegemonic forces – anthropocentrism, extractivism, capitalism, legal hegemony, technofixes, and imaginative hegemony – drawing upon and offering practical insights rooted in both everyday actions and contemporary resistance studies.This book delves into the concept of adaptive resilience, through which climate and environmental actors (CEAs...

The story of Selaan-Linau is based on the work experience and engagement with the local communities and other stakeholders of the Selaan-Linau Forestry Management Unit, or FMU. Also known as FOMISS-GTZ, it began as a pilot project of the Malaysian-German Cooperation on sustainable forest management in Sarawak from 1998 to 2000. The project worked with the Kelabits, the Kenyahs, and the Penans, the three major ethnic communities in the area, to introduce sustainable community-development pr...

This book provides insights into microfiber pollution in textile industries that would help researchers and professionals to work from the textile point of view to mitigate the problem, and create a green sustainable future. Microplastic pollution has received great importance due to its adverse environmental and health impact. Microplastic particles are found to contaminate the ecosystem. Research has reported microplastics on seashores, in deep seas, freshwater systems including rivers a...

Textile materials shed microfibres during different phases of their life cycle. While much attention has been paid to the impact of microplastics on the environment, there has been less focus on the impact of microfibre pollution, which also poses a serious environmental threat. Microfibre Pollution from Textiles: Research Advances and Mitigation Strategies shines a light on the hidden effects of textile microfibre pollution and examines its generation in manufacturing, use includ...

Mutilated hand injuries are one of the most challenging reconstruction problems than can confront hand surgeons. This issue will cover outcome and functional measurement in mutilating hand injuries; skin coverage considerations in a mutilating hand injury; reconstruction of major degloving injuries of the hand; challenges posed by delayed presentation of mutilating hand injuries; and many more articles surrounding this topic.

The problem of stress corrosion cracking (SCC), which causes sudden failure of metals and other materials subjected to stress in corrosive environment(s), has a significant impact on a number of sectors including the oil and gas industries and nuclear power production. Stress corrosion cracking reviews the fundamentals of the phenomenon as well as examining stress corrosion behaviour in specific materials and particular industries.The book is divided into four parts. Part one covers the me...

This book presents clinical assessment and management solutions for those people who are exposed to Alcohol in Pregnancy. Over the last few decades we have begun to understand the enduring effects of prenatal alcohol exposure on the developing fetus. The consequence of prenatal alcohol exposure - Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders is a lifelong disorder and affects children and adults. It is a condition which is significantly under-recognised for many reasons. Assessment and diagnosis requir...

Africa is poised on the edge of a potential takeoff to sustained economic growth. This takeoff can be abetted by a demographic dividend from the changes in population age structure. Declines in child mortality, followed by declines in fertility, produce a 'bulge' generation and a large number of working age people, giving a boost to the economy. In the short run lower fertility leads to lower youth dependency rates and greater female labor force participation outside the home. Smaller fami...
