About the Book: The key words in manufacturing are cost and quality. While this has been generally true throughout the history of manufacturing, we have today entered into a highly competitive stage where quality has assumed overwhelming importance. There is no survival without it. Quality "just does not happen, it is caused". Quality circles, total quality, ISO 9000, etc. are some measures to improve quality. The broad purpose of the present book is to explain the concept of part accuracy and machine tool accuracy and the interaction between them. It considers in detail the influence of various factors affecting accuracy. The factors considered are stiffness, vibrations, thermal effects, tool wear, geometrical inaccuracy inherent in the machine tools themselves, cutting conditions, location and others. The interaction of dimensions in a chain of machining processes is also included. The standards relevant to accuracy are explained. Processes to obtain precision parts are described. The treatment is not just descriptive. Analytical expressions and numerical examples are included. The scope of the book is novel and the subject matter will be highly useful not only to an academic in the area of manufacturing but also to an engineer on the shop floor.

After explaining the essential characteristics and operating features of logic devices, the book considers various types of logic gates and provides experiments which are designed to make the student familiar with these devices. Interfacing problems between logic devices of different families are then considered and various practical solutions are explored. Experiments on more complex devices like multivibrators, counters, decoders, encoders, logic circuits, memories, LED displays, Analog/Digital and Digital/Analogy converters are then systematically discussed. All chapters begin with the theory of the device being considered, its operating characteristics and the results expected from the associated experiments. Each experiment is assigned a set of objectives followed by step-by-step operating procedures for performing the experiment. The book would serve as an excellent text-cum-manual for B.Sc., B.E. and diploma students of Electronics and Computer Science.

In this second and revised edition of Applied Entomology, the text has been updated, with a view to conforming to the revised syllabi of various universities at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, without disturbing the basic structure of the first edition. Basic concepts of entomology have been discussed in an easy-to-understand manner by making use of ample diagrams, figures and tables with lucid explanations. One of the unique features of our book includes the discussion on the ecological aspects of various insect-control methods. It is extremely vital to know the implication of these control procedures on the total ecosystem and then devise an integrated pest management system. This book will prove useful not only for the university students but also for practicing agriculturalists and horticulturalists with its introductory but practical approach to common insect pests` control.

The Mathematical Study Of Group Theory Was Initiated In The Early Nineteenth Century By Such Mathematicians As Gauss, Cauchy, Abel, Hamilton, Galois, Cayley, And Many Others. However, The Advantages Of Group Theory In Physics Were Not Recognized Till 1925 When It Was Applied For Formal Study Of Theoretical Foundations Of Quantum Mechanics, Atomic Structures And Spectra By, To Name A Few, H A Bethe, E P Wigner, Etc. It Has Now Become Indispensable In Several Branches Of Physics And Physical Chemistry.Dr. Joshi Develops The Mathematics Of Group Theory And Then Goes On To Present Its Applications To Quantum Mechanics, Crystallography, And Solid State Physics. For Proper Comprehension Of Representation Theory, He Has Covered Thoroughly Such Diverse But Relevant Topics As Hilbert Spaces, Function Spaces, Operators, And Direct Sum And Product Of Matrices. He Often Proceeds From The Particular To The General So That The Beginning Student Does Not Have An Impression That Group Theory Is Merely A Branch Of Abstract Mathematics. Various Concepts Have Been Explained Consistently By The Use Of The C4V. Besides, It Contains An Improved And More General Proof Of The Schurs First Lemma And An Interpretation Of The Orthogonality Theorem In The Language Of Vector Spaces (Chapter 3).Throughout The Text The Author Gives Attention To Details And Avoids Complicated Notation. This Is A Valuable Book For Senior Students And Researchers In Physics And Physical Chemistry. A Thorough Understanding Of The Methodology And Results Contained In This Book Will Provide The Reader Sound Theoretical Foundations For Advanced Study Of Quantum Mechanics, Solid State Physics And Atomic And Particle Physics To Help Students A Flow-Chart Explaining Step By Step The Method Of Determining A Parallel-Running Example Illustrating The Procedure In Full Details Have Been Included. An Appendix On Mappings And Functions Has Also Been Added.

Materials Numerical Quantities-Forms Tables compiled for the metal trade are dedicated to vocational schools as well as to practical usage at the job site. Although the tables have been compiled for use primarily by the apprentice, the specialized worker will also find them useful. Every effort has been made to shorten the sometimes tedious operations and the arrangement of subject matter is such that its contents are readily available to the practical man. Much painstaking effort must go in compiling and arranging such tables. Information must be so selected that the reader can, from the bulk of material, easily find out the subject of his interest. Often, a decision of either selecting an item or rejecting it proves difficult. Too much material packed into tabular compilations can be as harmful as the omission of some vital pieces of information. Not only the selection but also the arrangement of material requires considerable thought if the contents of the tabular compilations have to be offered for ready reference. Only then can the reader decide where to look for proper information. The principle of order must be evident at once.

The book explains the subject through a series of graded questions and answers and thus helps the students in a better preparation for their examinations. Some questions are of short answer type for which answers are presented in a paragraph. Some questions are of subjective type for which answers are presented at length. Whenever quantitative techniques arise, the procedures are discussed giving the logical/scientific basis for the various steps or operations. Techniques are illustrated. Emphasis is laid on analyzing different classes of managerial problems by properly modelling and tackling them using the right technique/s. The book covers the core subjects of Industrial Engineering, like productivity engineering, work method design and work measurement, linear programming, classical optimization, reliability and quality engineering, production economics and financial management and production management. Designed for undergraduate and postgraduate students of both engineering and management streams, it is hoped that this book would not only help them in preparing for examinations but would also enable them to emerge as successful managers. The book would also be extremely useful for candidates appearing in GATE and other competitive examinations. About The Author: C.
