Pedestrians are neglected because they make no noise. They go quietly findings their ways into prevailing chaos. At the city level, each and every resident is a pedestrian, but treated as a neglected road user. A recent study conducted in Indian Cities states that more than 20% of the road accidents involve pedestrian. Hence safety of pedestrian is a basic step to create safer city. A report entitled ¿Road Safety in India: Challenges and Opportunities¿ March 2009 states that road traffic fatalities have been increasing at about 8% annually for the last ten years. About 60% of all fatalities in urban areas belong to pedestrians. Hence pedestrian safety is a challenge for transport planners, traffic engineers, town planners, urban local bodies and policy makers to make the city safer.

Generally, the name ¿cancer¿ brings about a huge sense of terror. It is a big threat to human beings the world over. It is approximated that the number of cancer related deaths in the world may rise up to 11.0 million in 2030. Tobacco and alcohol consumption, exposure to pesticides and radiations, drug abuse, dietary habits, lifestyle changes are some of the prominent causes of cancer. Presently, different strategies are employed for ensuring safe and effective treatment of cancer. Surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy and monoclonal antibody therapy are the most common methods of cancer treatment. However, it is the location and grade of tumour, the stage of the disease and the general state of the patient those determine the choice of the treatment. The latest cancer treatment approaches of the twentieth century include chemotherapy, immunotherapy and targeted therapies. This book aims to highlight cancer scenario at the global level. Attempts have been made to discuss the different causes of cancer. Besides, efforts have been made to discuss different presently available cancer treatment modalities.

"Practical Tilapia Fish Pond Farming. All You Need¿ is a very interesting and fascinating book that explores the actual hands-on practices of growing tilapia fish in production ponds. It carries the reader through a logical step by step approach of the farmer¿s experience in production of tilapia fish starting from pond siting, designing, excavation, pond fertilisation, fingerlings, fish feed, pond management and harvesting. This is a ¿read and dö book.

The significance of Muslim freedom fighters on driving British out of theNational fences, is always one thing which to be kept in every individual¿s heart. Somehow Northern Muslims¿ short history stored in some handful textbooks. Southern Muslims, who laid their lives in the emancipation of state from English Aliens, went with no fame in the chapters of history. Why it has not been mentioned is yet to be discussed one, and in naming it is an arbitrary and capricious exercise by historians, makes anuncertain vacuum. Tipuu Sultan with his extraordinary intellectual and physical abilities emerged as the first ruler to weaken the English forces. While Nizam Ali Khan hold firmly the sleeves of Western troops in the fear of losing his capital and territory, and this followed by his Successors too. Nizam¿s notion altered the shape of Hyderabad in unique. The Malabar Muslims¿ role in independence would have to be written in the annals of history, at the same time a joint clarion call to defend BRITSH from the borders of Malabar which laid down by Ulamas, added gold upon silver.

This book addresses Korean contemporary history and visualizes a unified Korea from the framework of the Korean War, Armistice Structure and a Peace Regime. In 1950, North Korea invaded South Korea. The U.S. and China intervened in the war. Since the armistice agreement in 1953, the Korean Peninsula is still technically at war. North Korea continues its aggression including nuclear challenge. Through the denuclearization, we could dismantle the armistice structure and build a peace regime. This book consists of eight chapters addressing those issues. It examines the Korean War, and South Koreäs operational control during the war and after. It analyzes North Koreäs provocations, discusses the United Nations Command, and examines strategies for the denuclearization. It assesses the Republic of Korea (ROK)-U.S. alliance and designs its future. It explores ROK-Japan security cooperation and a regional security regime. Lastly, the book draws lessons from the inter¿Korean dialogues and proposes a peace regime initiative consisting of North Koreäs denuclearization, transition of wartime operational control, arms control, a regional security regime, and a peace treaty.

Steps in Plant Physiology Basic Concepts is a eighth project of the plant sciences. Botanical knowledge enhances our understanding and appreciation of our world and improves the quality of many people¿s lives. The basic knowledge of plant physiology, that is necessary for experts in agriculture. Most common processes of plant physiology such as Photosynthesis, Respiration, Nitrogen Fixation, Bio-Fertilizer, Plant Hormones and Enzymes are highlighted. The basic concepts of plant stress is complemented with the presentation of physiological mechanisms against different environmental stresses.Plant growth and development is introduced with the characterization and commercial use of plant growth regulators (PGRS, plant hormones). The present reference book will fulfill the basic needs of students, researchers and academicians.

The LabVIEW software used to control the Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) so that measurement process can be automated faster. This project is about a measurement system that provided higher efficiency, diversity and multiple functionality. This project included fundamental connection between Computer and VNA via the Universal Serial Bus (USB) and Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench (LabVIEW) software. In addition, the network configuration Virtual Instrument (VI), data acquisition VI, and automation user interface also included. The purpose of VNA controller is to reduce the time duration taken when a user taking measurement of any Device Under Test (DUT). The LabVIEW VI is designed through a series of developed program simulation by applying LabVIEW Plug and Play ¿ Agilent ENA series control palette. In short, VNA controller has the functions that can configure the VNA¿s bandwidth, center frequencies, frequencies span, and display the graphs generated. This project also designs and develops a user-friendly interface for user in executing automation measurement and saves user time.
