This book is about the β-quantum inequalities. This book covers a range of generalized quantum inequalities in detail. It begins with the basic calculus of the β-quantum operator and then explores various types of inequalities. The content is presented in a straightforward manner and is aimed at senior undergraduate and postgraduate students in engineering and science programs. The book consists of six chapters, and almost all of the material is new and represents the authors' original work. The chapters are organized in a way that is easy to follow, and each chapter concludes with a section containing practical problems.

This book is a humble attempt towards exposition and utilization of value engineering, as an independent design plus production integrated scheme, with significant savings of material and efforts. The new industrial revolution that aims to conserve natural resources, prune down wastage, and spiral toward sustainable living is in perfect harmony with this rediscovered (and a bit reinvented) value engineering plus by authors. The book presents the remarkable system, well-established as value engineering or value methodology, developed by an iconic GE design Engineer, Lawrence Miles. It is a function-cost weighted approach and grounded in reality. The book discusses enhancement of a) creative thinking using techniques other than over-hyped brainstorming, b) including hands-on invention education in curricula from middle school to master’s degree level, c) finally, a sensitization towards, followed by importance of possessing Intellectual Property (patent/utility model) for any tangible process or product created.

This book explores the foundational principles and emerging advancements shaping modern computing, bridging theory and practice across technologies, transforming today’s world. It begins with an introduction to modern computer science before covering key topics such as generative AI, creative content generation, quantum computing, data analytics, and machine learning.

In this book, the author challenges conventional probabilistic interpretations of quantum mechanics by introducing a framework of “qualified determinism” that reexamines the underlying principles of quantum theory. Central to this vision is the Quaternary Interpretation of Quantum Dynamics (QIQD), which employs a quaternary fractal pattern to offer a fresh perspective on the quantum realm and its role in advanced computational processes. Spanning 24 chapters across six parts, the text bridges foundational theory with forward-looking applications, envisioning transformative breakthroughs in quantum-based energy detection systems, room-temperature superconductors, QIQD-inspired nano-devices, and beyond. By uniting rigorous conceptual exploration with a bold technological outlook, this book significantly broadens the horizons of quantum science and paves the way for a new era of quantum innovation.
