The Indian diaspora is increasingly engaging with the homeland by forming a range of migrant organizations — organizations constituting a growing sector of non-State actors who engage with the host country and the country of origin in a sustained and profound way.Research on migrant organizations tends to focus only on transnational migrant organizations in host countries. Indian Migrant Organizations analyses a set of local and transnational organizations formed by Indian migrants, whose activities include mobilizing resources and connections and engaging in numerous development initiatives in India, and studies their engagement particularly in the Indian healthcare and education sectors.In particular, the book discusses how these organizations have evolved, what kind of healthcare and educational projects and activities they are carrying out, and how such collective efforts are affecting development dynamics in India.

This book provides a comprehensive, self-contained guide to solutions of partial differential equations with both finite element and finite volume methods. Upon discussing different formulations of finite element methods, it focuses on solution techniques with various formulations, including collocation, Galerkin, least squares, and stabilized finite element methods. In turn, it presents solutions to problems concerning heat transfer, coupled heat and mass transfer, and structures applications. The book also covers problems relating to incompressible and compressible flow, magnetic refrigeration, and aerodynamics of high-speed reentry vehicles. All in all, this book is intended to equip graduate students and researchers with enough implementation details for using finite element and finite volume methods in a variety of applications in both structural mechanics and fluid dynamics.

This book describes in detail various aspects of fluoride toxicity in animals. Animals, like human beings, suffer from the toxic effects of excess fluoride intake. They show pathological changes in their teeth and bone, together with a marked reduction in appetite, productive and reproductive potentials, which can result in severe economic losses in the dairy industry. Laboratory and wild animals also suffer from this ailment. Animal suffering and economic losses alike can be minimized through early diagnosis of the problem and by adopting suitable preventive and therapeutic measures. The book details the susceptibility of different animal species, important sources of toxicity, clinical signs and symptoms, pathophysiology, diagnostic methods, preventive and therapeutic approaches. It offers a valuable resource for scientists working in the fields of toxicology, veterinary science, animal nutrition, and environmental science, as well as for public health workers, animal welfare activists, public health veterinarians, field veterinarians, medical professionals and all others interested in the subject.
