Twaron aramid fibers (AFs) were modified by atmospheric air dielectric barrier discharge plasma with various parameters. The wettability of plasma-treated AF was observed by means of contact angle and surface free energy measurement. Surface roughness was investigated with the help of scanning electron microscopy....

In any development programme it is essential to study the knowledge level of an individual as the knowledge is an important component of the behaviour of an individual along with attitude and skill. Further it is utmost necessary to study/measure the knowledge level in social science research like research on extension education....

Although Parkinson\"\"s disease (PD) is historically seen as a hypokinetic disorder of movements, including speech, recent studies have suggested degradation of sensorimotor integration in PD. It appears that motor speech deficits may not be normally associated with mechanosensory deficits, but the association may be significant in PD....

This book describes the development on the theory of solutions in the cooperative games. Certain developments took place in the sixties and seventies. However the subject had a few interesting developments in the eighties though those developments were not studied enough during that period....

The experiment was carried both under field condition as well as in the net house.In the field,irrigated (with As contaminated water) and non-irrigated soils were used.In the net house, soil monoliths of the irrigated and non-irrigated phases were used....

This book is proposed to develop an SOI (Silicon on Insulator) LDMOS in which a drift region of 1-?m is added to a conventional n-MOS and compare them on various aspects. The drift region utilizes the RESURF effect that is utilized to distribute the electric field into the LDD region....

Blood flow is influenced by stenosis and magnetic field. Stenosis obstructs the blood motion and changes the blood velocity and pressure and that can be maintained by the application of magnetic effect. It is also considered that natural blood flow is laminar though blood’s Reynolds number is very high....

Contract farming is defined as a system for the production and supply of agricultural or horticultural produce under forward contracts between producers/suppliers and buyers....

Ceramic materials and single crystals showing ferroelectric behavior are being used in many applications in electronics and optics. A large number of applications of ferroelectric ceramics also exploit properties that are an indirect consequence of ferroelectricity, such as dielectric, piezoelectric, pyroelectric and electro-optic properties....

In the era of globalization when countries face competition among themselves to be economic forces to reckon with, few things are of paramount importance. These are, from a competing country’s point of view, agricultural production, volume of trade and foreign investments....
