This publication provides readers with an introduction to applied polymer science and its fields like polymer typology. An introduction to polymer characterization is made. The main factors of polymer weathering are discussed. This publication also describes polymer engineering, polymer nanocomposites, copolymers, forensic polymer engineering and in-situ polymerization. An overview of molecular imprinted polymers and other related polymers is provided herein. The role of polymers in plastic surgery and other applications of polymers are described. Special focus also lies on superabsorbent polymers, supramolecular polymers and synthetic biodegradable polymers.

This is the third set of volumes in the well known series entitled Concept''s International Series in Geography. This, multi volume set has a wide coverage under the title Perspectives in Urban Geography. The earlier two sets in the series were: Perspectives in Agricultural Geography and Perspectives in Geomorphology. Traditional studies on aspects of Urban Geography had been concentrating on observational records of developments of towns and cities till the subject came to acquire a behavioural approach recently. What re&Ited was a new matrix of philosophies, methodologies and their ingenious application to what had been researched through the years. The present set of volumes ventures to make a rigorous survey of the literature on Urban Geography after its reorientation as it were. The two major themes of this volume on Perceptual and Cognitive Image of the City are the perception that people have of places and the mental images that are formed from filtered information flows. The study of the cognitive image of the city is a multidisciplinary outlook. It is in urban geography that important ideas have been derived from such,sub-jects as sociology, anthropology, planning, architecture, psychology and ethnology. The geographers have derived information from these disciplines about the mental storage of spatial information, mental map studies and action space studies. The present volume, therefore, concerns itself to the process of decision-making, choice theory analysis of space preference, spatial learning process, environmental cognition and cognitive mapping. Special emphasis in this volume has been laid on the issue of intraurban and rural-urban migration.

Presents Conceptual Synthesis of advance achieved in frontiers of Knowledge and Research in India. The textual contents are spread over special Lectures and research papers of frontline applied phycologists and depicts fine intermeshing fabric of applied Phycology ramifying in realms of applied aspects of diverse sciences of agriculture, physiology, microbiology, biochemistry, Medicine and Environmental biology. The impact of applied phycology would remain obscure until it reaches both scholars pursueing advance courses and research, administrators, and common man alike to wed the Scientific advance to practice. The proceedings should, therefore, find a place in shelves of Libraries and scholars.

This book provides a comprehensive exploration and reflection of the opportunities and challenges that have shaped India’s growth trajectory in past seven decades. The book contains rigorously researched articles on various contemporary issues and debates around four broad key themes on—political economy appraisal, sectoral challenges, employment, labour and informality and social sector performance, offering conceptual understanding, critical analysis and policy implications. In addition to offering significant insights into recent emerging issues such as the agrarian crisis, non-performing assets (NPAs), post-COVID-19 transformations, shifts in the labor market due to artificial intelligence (AI), digitalization, and more, the book also explores the dominant theoretical discourses essential for comprehending India's political economy since independence till recent. The book offers actionable policy recommendations to address existing gaps between policies and practices of India’s development trajectory. The book is particularly intended for research scholars and students, of economics, political science and development studies. Also, policymakers, institutions, general reader and academics worldwide who are interested in understanding the political aspect of Indian economy, its development trajectory, and the challenges and opportunities that nation faces at the cusp of completing 75 years of independence.
