Moringa/drumstick (Moringa oleifera Lam.) is a versatile tree vegetable crop, long neglected and rediscovered in recent times. It is indigenous to North India but gained firm foot hold in South India. Much of the information on production technology of drumstick was generated in South India. Many varieties were developed in South India. Its area under commercial cultivation has increased much during the past 30 years particularly after the release of annual types like PKM-1 and PKM-2 from Tamil Nadu. However there is no comprehensive book on drumstick production technology in India including all the accumulated information at one place. This has long been felt as a lacuna.

Energy storage is central for the entire grid, improving resources from wind, solar and hydro to nuclear and fossil fuels, to demand side resources and system efficiency benefits. Energy storage can be performed as a generation, transmission, or distribution asset, and times in a single asset.Energy storage is an enabling technology. When the sun isn't shining or the wind isn't blowing, energy storage can support. When demand shifts and baseload resources can't react quickly enough, again energy storage can support. It saves consumer cost, improves reliability and resilience, integrates generation sources, and helps reduce environmental impacts. This book discusses these aspects while comprehensively covering several energy storage technologies in operation and the ones under demonstration and development. Numerous references are cited for the reader to hunt for more details and if interested in research further. It serves as a text/reference book for students and as a manual for those in the industry and for policy makers. About the Energy Storage: United Nation's Secretary-general António Gueterres, speaking at the launch of the World Meteorological Organization's state of the global climate report on 18th may 2022, said: "First, renewable energy technologies, such as battery storage, must be treated as essential and freely available global public goods. Removing obstacles to knowledge sharing and technological transfer is crucial for a rapid and fair renewable energy transition. Storing renewable electricity is often cited as the greatest barrier to the clean energy transition. I am therefore calling for a global coalition on battery storage to fast-track innovation and deployment - a coalition led and driven by governments, bringing together tech companies, manufacturers, and financiers." "VRE resources such as wind and solar depend on daily and seasonal variations and weather fluctuations; they aren't always available to be dispatched to follow electricity demand....... Energy storage can help VRE-dominated electricity systems balance electricity supply and demand while maintaining reliability in a cost-effective manner...." Says MIT Energy Initiative Director Robert Armstrong, Chevron Professor of Chemical Engineering and chair of the Future of Energy Storage study.The MIT Energy Initiative report confirms that energy storage makes deep decarbonization of reliable electric power systems affordable. "There is no better solution to achieve energy security at present other than the solar and wind energy solutions, coupled with storage systems such as batteries and pumps......." Says Ajay Mathur, Director General of International Solar Alliance.

This book presents well-established modern methods of representation and quantitative evaluation for a variety of entities, constants, functions, vectors, random quantities, fuzzy sets, and abstract entities such as relationships, cooperation, dependence, etc. and reveals striking similarities between these modern concepts and the Hindu-Arabic Decimal Number System. We regularly work with them without realizing these similarities perhaps because the centuries old Indian Number System became so commonplace today that these connections are not evidenced either by citations in the literature. It is hoped that this book will serve to throw some new light on the INS which is held in high esteem by great minds. The size of this book, its presentation in simple terms devoid of mystifying jargon, and its capture of the basic elements of the vast subject of mathematical concepts, especially in the field of systems and signals, are expected to be attractive to both teachers and students.

Most households all over the world take electricity for granted: one flick of a switch on and a room is illuminated or a fan starts running or hot water begins to flow from a geyser. In reality, the entire process of generation of electricity in power plants and its journey to houses or wherever else at the point of use, is quite complicated, involving various stages. It is important for all users to know some aspects of electricity for its safe and cost-effective usage. Likewise, it would be very desirable to have some idea of working of commonly used electrical gadgets in a typical household for their proper use over years. The present book, based on decades of experience of the author as a professional electrical engineer, describes all aspects of electricity into a house, including its safe use, and working of a multitude of electrical appliances, from simple illumination devices, fans, ACs, geysers togadgets in kitchens such as a mixie, oven and induction stove, that would ideally need some knowledge of their working for their efficient and trouble-free operation.An important feature of the book is the detailed discussion concerning renewal sources of electricity generation, esp. electricity from the Sun and how this is going to be THE energy of future in a matter of a few decades.

All hysteresis machines, are characterised by the use of a 'hard' or permanent-magnet material in the rotor of the machine in different forms whilst the stator may be similar to that of a 3-phase induction motor or comprise salient poles. The driving torque in the hysteresis machine is typically related to loss of power resulting from hysteresis in the active part of the rotor. A hysteresis motor which forms the mainstay of a variety of hysteresis machines is a synchronous motor, being self-starting with the developed torque remaining constant throughout. The present book, one of its kind covering the said subject matter, describes in detail the construction and working principle of a variety of commercially available hysteresis machines. The last part of the book is devoted to a comprehensive study of an experimental hysteresis machine. The contents of this part derive entirely from the experimental and analytical work carried out by the author during his doctoral research at the University of Aston in the UK. The exhaustive range of tests and measurements, obtained by the use of uniquely devised transducers and techniques, many of these having been evolved for the first time, showcase numerous aspects of a hysteresis machine, never before brought out anywhere. These relate mainly to the measured waveforms of radial and peripheral flux density in the airgap and active part of the rotor as influenced by the hysteretic properties of the rotor material.
