This Book can be a very useful for characteristics prediction of person. The advantage with this approach is that many times people don¿t want to tell other things that can be helpful in finding their characteristics. They don¿t tell their birth date and birth time by which their characteristics can be predicted by the use of astrology. But signature is such a parameter that no one can stop others from knowing. It is an unbiased and unique trait present in a person and does not change generally with time. The varied applications of this work such as Employment profiling, Business compatibility, Psychological analysis, Marital compatibility, Medical diagnosis, Jury screening, Graphotherapy.

Large output signal is the main bottleneck for the design of a low noise and low power neural amplifier used in a bio-potential acquisition system. This book critically focused on the design and simulation of single electrode array low noise low power neural amplifier for biomedical/Neural signal recording application. Specifically, it is intended to be used in the front-end of a biomedical signal processing block. In this book design of a low power low noise neural amplifier has been discussed with special emphasis given on the optimization of parameter such as noise, power and output swing. For low power and low noise pMOS input transistor and weak inversion topology has been used. Neural amplifier structure used to record signals like Electroencephalography (EEG) Electromyography (EMG, consist of two stage, in the first stage a low noise opamp of 60db used for noise reduction and in the second stage a band pass filter (BPF) which is also act as Programmable Gain amplifier (PGA) is used to get variable gain. This book also discussed a novel Pseudo resistor structure to get tunable cutoff frequency.

Forest soil respiration is the sum of heterotrophic (microbes, soil fauna) and autotrophic (root) respiration. The contribution of each group needs to be understood to evaluate implications of environmental change on soil carbon cycling and sequestration. Soil respiration is a key ecosystem process that releases carbon from the soil in the form of CO2. This CO2 is acquired from the atmosphere and converted into organic compounds in the process of photosynthesis. Plants use these organic compounds to build structural components or respire them to release energy. When plant respiration occurs below-ground in the roots, it adds to soil respiration. Over time, plant structural components are consumed by heterotrophs. This heterotrophic consumption releases CO2 and when this CO2 is released by below-ground organisms, it is considered soil respiration. The amount of soil respiration that occurs in an ecosystem is controlled by several factors. The temperature, moisture, nutrient content and level of oxygen in the soil can produce extremely disparate rates of respiration. These rates of respiration can be measured in a variety of methods as well as to separate the source components.

Wound healing is essential for survival. The goal of wound management is to close the wound as soon as possible. Improperly managed wounds can be life - threatening, functionally disabling, and cosmetically devastating. Cyanoacrylates (CA) have a variety of medical, dental, and commercial applications as adhesives. These adhesives have been extensively used for closure of cutaneous wounds and in a wide variety of surgical procedures. The increasing use of cyanoacrylates in dentistry, particularly as an adhesive and sealing glue, have raised concerns regarding its potential toxicity in humans. The use of the adhesive reduces treatment time and is a pain-free method of closure, allowing good cosmetic results to the facial injuries.

This work is a study of scintillator-based radiation detectors, and how they perform using both traditional and modern photodetectors. More specifically, we examine how a radiation detector utilizing silicon photomultiplier-based readout performs compared to a traditional photomultiplier tube-based detector. Silicon photomultipliers show great promise in contemporary particle physics for their small size, robustness, and efficiency compared to traditional photodetector systems. We investigated the practicality and efficiency of using silicon photomultipliers in radiation detectors.
