This book focuses on Erdélyi–Kober fractional calculus from a statistical perspective inspired by solar neutrino physics. Results of diffusion entropy analysis and standard deviation analysis of data from the Super-Kamiokande solar neutrino experiment lead to the development of anomalous diffusion and reaction in terms of fractional calculus. The new statistical perspective of Erdélyi–Kober fractional operators outlined in this book will have fundamental applications in the theory of anoma...

TheH-function or popularly known in the literature as Fox’sH-function has recently found applications in a large variety of problems connected with reaction, diffusion, reaction–diffusion, engineering and communication, fractional differ- tial and integral equations, many areas of theoretical physics, statistical distribution theory, etc. One of the standard books and most cited book on the topic is the 1978 book of Mathai and Saxena. Since then, the subject has grown a lot, mainly in the ...

This textbook presents a rigorous approach to multivariable calculus in the context of model building and optimization problems. This comprehensive overview is based on lectures given at five SERC Schools from 2008 to 2012 and covers a broad range of topics that will enable readers to understand and create deterministic and nondeterministic models. Researchers, advanced undergraduate, and graduate students in mathematics, statistics, physics, engineering, and biological sciences will find ...

China’s trade patterns are evolving. While it started in light manufacturing and the assembly of more sophisticated products as part of global supply chains, China is now moving up the value chain, “onshoring” the production of higher-value-added upstream products and moving into more sophisticated downstream products as well. At the same time, with its wages rising, it has started to exit some lower-end, more labor-intensive sectors. These changes are taking place in the broader context of C...

Fractional calculus in terms of mathematics and statistics and its applications to problems in natural sciences is NOT yet part of university teaching curricula. This book is one attempt to provide an approach to include topics of fractional calculus into university curricula. Additionally the material is useful for people who do research work in the areas of special functions, fractional calculus, applications of fractional calculus, and mathematical statistics.

In his sparkling memoir, M.K. Raina documents the many lives he has lived. From sharing the stage with some of the most celebrated actors in India to his journey as a young man witnessing the violence and horrors rampant through the streets of Kashmir, an entire history of northern India is painted with subtle elegance.Brimming with delightful anecdotes as well as poignant, painful memories of a region that once was, this book is a tour de force.

The discourse of 'green growth' has recently gained ground in environmental governance deliberations and policy proposals. It is presented as a fresh and innovative agenda centred on the deployment of engineering sophistication, managerial acumen and market mechanisms to redress the environmental and social derelictions of the existing development model.But the green growth project is deeply inadequate, whether assessed against criteria of social justice or the achievement of susta...

This is a book far removed from the clichs of the Raj. Set mainly in south India, it is the story of a middle aged academic caught up in a scandal that threatens to overwhelm his career & family. It deals with the many aspects of love and introduces a range of diverse characters. There is humour, wisdom and sadness and an insight into the politics of academia.

Through an enterprising and adventurous spirit, she is able to live life to the fullest. Wanderlust Adventures of the Girl Who Could highlights ...

The 4,2,1 day story of this world is the best kept secret in the Bible. Not anymore. A day is for a thousand years for the Lord. The Old Testament period is four thousand years (4 days). The New Testament period of grace of Jesus is two thousand years (2 days) and Christ’s rule on earth is for one thousand years (1 day). The marker on the ground is AD 28, the year Jesus died. Just before his coming, there is seven years of Great Tribulation. Even Mona Lisa will lose her smile in those terr...

This open access book explores the fundamental workings of the Sun, unraveling the mysteries of solar structure, neutrino emissions, and the profound interplay between solar physics, nuclear reactions, and neutrino properties. Dive into the intricate world of nuclear and neutrino astrophysics with this book.Beginning with the renowned solar neutrino problem, the authors recount the historical journey that commenced in 1968 with experiments aiming to detect solar neutrinos. These pi...
