Discusses the modeling of additive manufacturing processes using artificial intelligence Looks at the optimization of designs, technologies and materials of AM and the use of simulation in AM Includes case studies and real-world problems from today's industries and society

Three Flights Down is a pure work of fiction that bears little or no resemblance to events in real life. After all, which fiction novelist is going to say his book is based on a true story? I for example, clearly am not. But if you, the reader, have by chance picked up this book, know this. This book is about love. Not the kind of love that we see every day, but a different kind of love, a love that finds place in-between sheets and in between friendships. It is about a city and it is about a society that is yet to come to terms with the fact that its era has long gone while yet remaining hopeful for a future which is yet to come. It's a story about people who live in a city and get trapped by the sheer emotional whirlwind that comes with it. It also has jokes.

The book explores the impact of rapid technological advancements on mental and physical well-being, highlighting the pressures they create. It suggests that reconnecting with joyful memories and loved ones can provide relief and peace of mind. Emphasizing the importance of mental tranquility, it encourages readers to reflect on their past happiness as a way to cope with contemporary challenges. The urgency to read it stems from the need to navigate these pressures effectively in today’s fast-paced world.

The book delves into the concept of zero waste, outlining its definition and benefits, along with the waste hierarchy. It emphasizes the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) and explores market-based campaigns for recycling. Detailed discussions on various recyclables, including metals, electronics, and textiles, are presented. Composting and vermi-composting techniques are also covered. Subsequent chapters focus on the recycling processes for specific materials such as plastics, glass, paper, and steel, providing a comprehensive guide to sustainable waste management practices.

The book explores the synthesis, properties, and applications of silver nanoparticles. It begins with various synthesis methods, including chemical, physical, biological, and microwave-assisted techniques. The properties section covers physical, optical, and biological characteristics, detailing measurement techniques and interactions like plasmon resonances. The final chapter focuses on practical applications, highlighting products such as silver algaecides, disinfectants, medical devices, antimicrobial textiles, and packaging solutions, showcasing the versatility of silver nanoparticles in various industries.

The book explores the fascinating world of fullerenes across six comprehensive chapters. It begins with the structures of C-60 and higher fullerenes, followed by their nomenclature. The preparation and synthesis methods, along with purification techniques, are thoroughly discussed. Subsequent chapters delve into the solubility, physical properties, and various species of fullerenes, including alkali-doped and endohedral types. The final chapter focuses on the biomedicinal applications of fullerenes, highlighting their potential in medical science.

Focusing on the role of the transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-1) gene, this study investigates its impact on end-stage renal disease (ESRD) among diabetic and hypertensive patients in the North Indian Punjabi population. It highlights the significant contribution of diabetes and hypertension to ESRD, with diabetes accounting for nearly 30% of cases in developing countries. Given the high prevalence of diabetes in India, understanding TGF-1's involvement is crucial for addressing the complex interactions of genetic and environmental factors in this inflammatory disease.

Focusing on advanced techniques for keyframe extraction and matching, this book delves into content-based video retrieval methodologies. It discusses the importance of selecting representative frames from videos to enhance indexing and search efficiency. The author, Ajay Kumar, presents algorithms that facilitate effective video retrieval, making this work essential for researchers and practitioners in multimedia information retrieval.

Focusing on the applications and significance of disulphide-containing oligodeoxynucleotides, the book presents eight comprehensive chapters. It begins with an introduction to the scope of the research and a literature review, followed by detailed discussions on the synthesis and physico-chemical methods used. Subsequent chapters explore the modulation of duplex stability, results from DNA/DNA duplex formation studies, and the formation of Triplex DNA structures. The final chapter highlights the stabilization of RNA/DNA duplex structures, summarizing the key findings of the research.

Exploring the complexity of DNA, the book begins with fundamental double helix structures and advances to intricate formations like Guanine-Quadruplexes and telomeric structures. It delves into non-duplex DNA models, covering topics such as Intrinsically Bent DNA, Left-Handed DNA (Z-DNA), B-Z Junctions, Hairpins, Cruciforms, Triple Helices, and H-DNA. The final chapter shifts focus to RNA, detailing Pseudoknots and their significance in molecular biology.
