The Nobel Laureate's monumental study surveys hydrodynamic and hydromagnetic stability as a branch of experimental physics. Among the subjects treated: thermal instability of a layer of fluid heated from below, the Benard problem, stability of Couette flow, and the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability.
Mahatma Gandhi: lawyer, champion of non-violence, beloved leader. Nathuram Godse: journalist, nationalist - and the man who murdered him. The Father and the Assassin traces Godse's life over thirty years during India's fight for independence.
A collection of lectures given by Chandrasekhar, the astrophysicist.
Rigorous examination of relationship between loss of energy, mass, and radius of stars in a steady state. Unabridged, corrected republication of original (1939) edition. "The material is throughout presented with enviable crispness and clarity of expression. The work will undoubtedly become an indispensable handbook for future researchers in the field." — Nature.
This book by a Nobel Laureate provides the foundation for analysis of stellar atmospheres, planetary illumination, and sky radiation. Radiation transfer has been investigated as a phenomenon of astrophysics, and it has attained wider interest because of similar problems in the theory of neutron diffusion. Suitable for students and professionals in physics, nuclear physics, astrophysics, and atmospheric studies. 1950 edition.
This is the story of the successes and failures of a civil servant, who successfully navigated challenging areas of public life. Unsparingly honest and forthright, and packed with political gossip, the book offers a ringside view of Indian politics and bureaucracy during the UPA era.
Graph Theory is a subject in mathematics which has application to problems originating from different fields like engineering, economics, genetics, operation research, computer science, etc.This book entitled "SOME RECENT STUDIES IN GRAPH THEORY" deals with the study of some graph valued functions, its properties and characterization interms of crossing number one and forbidden subgraphs.The concept of Pathos is applied to acyclic graphs and new graph valued function called Pathos Line Graph and Pathos Lict Graph are defined and their properties are studied.The properties concentrated mainly are planarity, crossing number one, eulerian and hamiltonian.Using subdivision of a graph the second sequence lict graphs and lictact graphs are defined and these graphs are characterized.Finally, a new concept of Semimultiregular graphs is introduced and Semi Total Block Graphs are studied.This book enriches the knowledge of defining new graph valued functions.Extentions of the concept of Semimultiregular graphs may lead to many applicatons.This book is an ideal for academicians, young researchers in graph theory and can be a subject for the post graduate students in the universities and colleges.
Anupama Chandrasekhar's play When the Crows Visit is a tragedy that transposes the themes of Ibsen's Ghosts into modern-day India.
