In jazz music, the main aspect is improvisation. Improvisation is one of the basic elements of musical performance that separates jazz from other types of musical art. Improvisation is based on the spontaneous construction of melodic phrases based on a harmonic sequence. But in order to achieve mastery of improvisation, it is necessary to have a large amount of theoretical knowledge, such as scales, musical scales, chords and their construction, harmonic sequences, and technical knowledge, that is, to be able to reproduce this theoretical knowledge on the instrument.

After twenty-one preceding sets of practical exercises laid forward in preceding manuscripts, I have inspired from my core ICT academic and research experience to produce this manuscript. Here, a successive set of 31 cohesively written practical exercises in softwares, directly related to the fields of Physics and Construction Calculator Softwares, is laid forward, in a similar style as in the preceding manuscripts. Such exercises apply better to beginner levels in university courses. Of course, its applicability to advanced level courses may be appreciated by many academicians to their discretion. It is retained here that adaptations of these exercises by academicians to their requirements is very possible. It is recommended for students to devise good/workable summary sheets for each exercise, along with writing proper report and referencing needed. For each exercise, a share of analysis is required to develop thinking and critical/professional abilities. Most exercises are devised for computers/laptops along with currently trending smart phones/tablets. Students must communicate properly with their coach, who in turn, are recommended to perform judicious follow-ups.

Attitude control of the rocket is a big challenge in real-time. To make the rocket stable against the influences, this book has examined the control technology such as proportional integral derivative control using an anti-windup mechanism and linear quadratic regulator theory based on the degree of freedom mathematical model. The transient behaviour of both controllers is not smooth and takes more time to settle in the defined location. Specific to the deficiencies of PID and LQR, the proportional integral derivative controller is combined with a fuzzy logic controller to overcome the defects of PID and LQR. In conclusion, this book compares the performance analysis of fuzzy-PID controllers with linear quadratic regulators and proportional integral derivative controllers. The simulation results indicate that the hybrid fuzzy-PID controller has a remarkable improvement in terms of overshoot and settling time besides reducing steady-state error. The proposed hybrid fuzzy-PID controller eliminates the overshoot completely and produces enormous stability for the rocket engine.

The Sustainable Development GoalsThrough the historic UN General Assembly Summit in September 2015, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development was adopted by the UN¿s 193 member states. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and their 169 targets are the main core of this agenda. The Sustainable Development Goals are a clearcut, universal agreement to end poverty and all its facets and establish an equal, just and safe world ¿ for people, planet and prosperity. The SDGs have been developed through an extensive consultative process that brought national governments and millions of citizens from the globe together to negotiate and adopt this ambitious agenda.The concept of sustainable development was adopted by the World Commission on Environment and Development, and there is a consensus agreement that sustainable development encompasses a comprehensive and integrated approach to economic, social, and environmental processes. Debates on sustainable development, however, have focused primarily on the environmental and economic dimensions.

Zinc oxide is an inorganic compound with the formula ZnO. It usually appears as a white powder, nearly insoluble in water. The powder is widely used as an additive into numerous materials and products including plastics, ceramics, glass, cement, rubber (e.g., car tires), lubricants, paints, ointments, adhesives, sealants, pigments, foods (source of Zn nutrient), batteries, ferrites, fire retardants, first aid tapes, etc. ZnO is present in the Earth's crust as the mineral zincite; however, most ZnO used commercially is produced synthetically.In materials science, ZnO is often called a II-VI semiconductor because zinc and oxygen belong to the 2nd and 6th groups of the periodic table, respectively. This semiconductor has several favorable properties: good transparency, high electron mobility, wide band gap, strong room-temperature luminescence, etc. Those properties are already used in emerging applications for transparent electrodes in liquid crystal displays and in energy-saving or heat-protecting windows, and electronic applications of ZnO as thin-film transistors and light-emitting diodes.

Sericulture by-products contain vast, unexplored potential that extends far beyond their conventional textile applications, with both economic and ecological significance. Despite substantial research efforts aimed at expanding the horizons of sericulture, the productive utilization of these by-products is limited due to lack of awareness regarding their full potential, suitable processing techniques, required capabilities, proactive entrepreneurs, and readily accessible markets. Concrete efforts are essential to thoroughly explore, process, and convert abundant sericulture resources into products of remarkable economic value across diverse domains, including human welfare. A comprehensive and focused approach, marked by innovation and cooperation, is the key to unlock the ecological and commercial possibilities that lie within this sector. By fostering synergy and cooperation within the sericulture and associated sectors, this concerted effort holds the promise of not only creating additional employment opportunities but also boosting income levels and foreign exchange earnings.

The study on Sitophilus oryzae (L.) under the influence of botanicals in stored rice grains was conducted at Central Potato Research Institute, Campus, Modipuram, Meerut, U.P. India. Botanicals are considered as alterative for management of stored grain pests. Dry leaves (crushed) of six plants, viz., neem, eucalyptus, tulsi, melia, mint and chrysanthemum at 1 g and 2 g per 25 g of sterilized rice were used against S. oryzae. Ten adults were introduced into each conical flask having sterilized rice and crushed leaves. Each treatment was replicated thrice. Observations on mortality were recorded periodically at 24 h interval. The experiment was conducted at 28 ± 2°C and 75% R.H. The observations revealed that all the treatments were significantly superior to control. Mortality of the S. oryzae 2 g/25 g of rice was 100% in mint leaves in one day followed by neem, melia, tulsi, eucalptus and chrysanthemum leaves, compared to control.

Uzbekistan is one of the countries with the oldest and rich architectural heritage in Central Asia. Today, more than two thousand medieval architectural monuments are kept under state protection in our country. Historical monuments in the cities of ancient Khiva, Bukhara, Samarkand and Shakhrisabz are included in the list of world cultural heritage of UNESCO. Currently, architectural secret symbolic decorations in these cities are almost unexplored, they are waiting for their solution. For example, the secret world of the secret decorations of the Sherdar madrasa, built in the 17th century in the Samarkand Registan, has been waiting for its solution for almost 400 years. The scientific hypothesis about the solution to the same problem is described in the monograph.This monograph is written for a large group of historians, architectures, artists, teachers and students of secondary and higher educational institutes as well as local people and tourists interested in national heritage of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

Stevia, acknowledged globally as a promising alternative sweetener, has encountered limited adoption among farmers, notably in Bangladesh, despite extensive international research. This challenge is ascribed to a deficiency in understanding suitable cultivation methods adapted to local soil conditions. Addressing this knowledge gap is imperative for the successful implementation of effective stevia cultivation practices. This underscores the necessity to disseminate precise knowledge on cultivation procedures tailored to the distinctive soil conditions prevailing in Bangladesh. Stevia emerges as a valuable sweetening alternative, particularly for individuals with diabetes, offering a solution to the artificial sugar shortage in Bangladesh. As a sweet herb and a calorie-free natural sweetener, the cultivation of stevia also holds the potential to contribute to a healthier economy. Remarkably, experimental findings underscore the superiority of field cultivation in terms of leaf yield per hectare, indicating that adopting field cultivation practices might be the most suitable technology for cultivating stevia in the diverse field conditions of Bangladesh.

The sex¿ratio is a function of three basic factors of sex ratio at birth, differential in mortality of two sex¿s at different stages of life and sex selectivity among the migrants. The number of missing women varies from one region to another according to its socio-cultural and economic beliefs and practices in treating the girls and women. According to estimation of noble prize laureateDr. Amartya Sen, 1990 around 100 million women are ¿missing¿ worldwide (more recent estimates suggest that there are 50 million missing women in India alone). Declining sex ratio is burning problem in India, in general and in particular. The sex composition of the study region shows the missing girls and women, and observed fewer females per thousand males.Therefore, this book deals with the introduction, significance of research work, brief review of literature, choice of study region, objectives, data base and methodology. The rest of the part is about conceptual background and trend of sex ratio, spatial patterns of sex ratio in general and child, in particular and changes from 1991 to 2011. I hope that this book would meet the expectations of the researchers, academicians and students.

Beauveria bassiana is an entomopathogenic fungus that causes white muscardine disease in a range of insects including whiteflies, aphids, thrips, grasshoppers and certain types of beetles. B. bassiana spores simply need to come in contact with a host. Once the host insect is infected, the fungus rapidly grows inside of the insect, feeding on the nutrients present in the host's body and producing toxins in the process. When the host dies, the B. bassiana covers the carcass in a layer of white mold that produces more infective spores. Naturally occurring in the soils of numerous regions globally. A major advantage to using Beauveria bassiana is the fact it can be used up until the day of harvest as the residue is not harmful to consumers.

World experience shows that the use of dynamic objects to create visual models of processes, adaptive modeling of the student in many cases significantly increases the learning effect. To organize a truly effective initial process of distance learning requires systematic work with the shell of the student and the teacher almost every day throughout the training period.

This book is an administrative history of Ethiopian modern civil service from 1961 to 2021. The year 1961 is selected because this year forms an important watershed in the administration history of modern civil service since it witnessed a significant structural and functional change in the Ethiopian civil service institutions as the result of the issuance of the Public Services Order No.23/1961. On the other hand in 2021, the Civil Service Commission was re-established as an autonomous federal government organ having its own legal personality and being accountable for the Prime Minister. In this year, the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia Civil Service Commission not only introduced its ten-year public service sector road-map (2021-2030), but also has issued the revised Federal Employees' Employment, Promotion and Transfer Directive.

Because asthmatic children are fragile and inexperienced, they depend on their parents to give them a balanced life. So the quality of parental care, among other factors, is a key determinant of asthma control in children. Parents' levels of education, especially in health matters, form the basis for better quality parental care. This study was conducted in the paediatric emergency and resuscitation department of the CHU Hedi Chaker in Sfax, Southern Tunisia to assess parents' knowledge of asthma and their involvement in the management of this condition. The results obtained confirmed that asthma is a real concern and a problem for parents with an average level of knowledge, especially in terms of the pathophysiology of asthma and the use of treatment, which predisposes this population to more exacerbations, with a consequent deterioration in their quality of life. Given that asthma is the leading chronic disease in children, recognized by some as benign because paediatric mortality is fortunately low, but with a high morbidity rate, it should benefit from major national measures.

The development of a revolutionary transistor architecture that transformed the semiconductor industry may be seen in the timeline of FinFET technology.

FinFET has evolved into the preferred option for high-performance computing systems throughout time thanks to its enhanced power efficiency, decreased leakage, and better control over the current flow.

The book explores the dynamic realm of inventory management models, presenting a distinctive approach that integrates fuzzy logic and cloud fuzzy environments. In this book, each chapter unfolds a diverse array of inventory models with distinct variants. For each model in every chapter, we begin by formulating a crisp model. Subsequently, we extend and augment this model under both fuzzy and cloud fuzzy environments. Our systematic methodology ensures a robust foundation, starting with clear crisp models and progressing into nuanced explorations of fuzzy and cloud fuzzy dimensions. A key feature is our emphasis on comparative analysis, meticulously assessing and contrasting the performance of crisp models against their fuzzy and cloud fuzzy counterparts. This scrutiny provides valuable insights into the advantages of integrating fuzzy and cloud fuzzy environments into traditional inventory models. This book not only contributes diverse inventory models but also establishes a comprehensive understanding of their evolution. The book doesn't just introduce theoretical concepts; it provides a practical roadmap for navigating inventory management complexities.

Redevelopment scheme in Mumbai is essential as it provides the improvised residential to the inhabitants of the housing society. At global level, wherever city is crowded with huge population then it creates burden of land on economy as it is not possible to equip such population in scarce land. Countries like Japan and some European countries faced this problem. As India rank 2nd in the world for the huge population but the land for survival is very small. Density of population per sq.ft. is very high in Mumbai, this high pressure is on the residential land of Mumbai city and suburban. Old aged buildings, dilapidated condition and trespassers who have acquired land illegally in the city are the disadvantages to the residents of housingsociety in Mumbai suburban. The researcher has made it possible to find solution which will be of help not only to Developers, Inhabitants, Legal agencies, Government for making rules and regulations.

In addition to that, it also describes the abundance as well as spatial and temporal distribution of aphids under south Gujarat condition.

AR is a technologically-delivered, improved representation of the real world that incorporates digital visuals, audio, and other senses. The fashion industry is using augmented reality (AR) more and more to improve the shopping experience for customers. It acts as a link between the virtual and real worlds of shopping, enabling customers to digitally try on apparel and accessories prior to making a purchase. The potential of AR contributes to the increasing emphasis in design on improving ergonomics and user interfaces. Products are progressively differentiating themselves based on how well they provide consumers with crucial operational and safety information. AR is changing the way that people think about showrooms and product demos, as well as the way they interact with customers. Customers have higher levels of satisfaction with their purchases, more accurate expectations, and increased confidence in their purchasing decisions when they can virtually preview how things will appear or perform in a real-world situation before making a purchase. In the future, augmented reality might potentially completely replace the need for showrooms and physical storefronts.

This book talks about the results obtained from an experimental study on the effects of different dietary protein sources on growth performance, water quality, hematological parameters and disease resistance in Nile tilapia. Three locally formulated protein feeds: Black soldier fly larvae ( BSF) meal, Freshwater shrimp meal and Soybean meal, and a commercial diet ( control diet) were tested for growth performance. The results indicate that the weight gain rates of juvenile Nile tilapia fingerlings fed on BSF, Freshwater shrimp meal and Soybean meal were higher than the control diet.

Currently, the use of distributed intelligence with microprocessors that communicate through optical fibers and the use of personal computers as human-machine interfaces is common. Therefore, new developments are constantly being made in this area, and as a result, costs are reduced and performance is improved. In addition, more trained personnel are familiar with this new technology. The heavily centralized, top-down systems used in the 1960s and 1970s are no longer appropriate, as decentralized systems can more easily adapt to future changes than centralized systems. In addition, different generations of equipment made by different manufacturers can be easily combined in them. Updating or expanding such a distributed system is simple. For example, in the following, a comparison between a common electric high pressure post and a fully automatic high pressure post using digital technology has been made.
