Book Description
Reductionism is a widely endorsed methodology among biologists, a metaphysical theory advanced to vindicate the biologist's methodology, and an epistemic thesis those opposed to reductionism have been eager to refute. While the methodology has gone from strength to strength in its history of achievements, the metaphysical thesis grounding it remained controversial despite its significant changes over the last 75 years of the philosophy of science. Meanwhile, antireductionism about biology, and especially Darwinian natural selection, became orthodoxy in philosophy of mind, philosophy of science, and philosophy of biology. This Element expounds the debate about reductionism in biology, from the work of the post-positivists to the end of the century debates about supervenience, multiple realizability, and explanatory exclusion. It shows how the more widely accepted 21st century doctrine of 'mechanism' - reductionism with a human face - inherits both the strengths and the challenges of the view it has largely supplanted.

Book Description
This book entitled “OXIDATION AND REDUCTION REAGENTS IN ORGANIC SYNTHESIS” has been particularly addressed to the graduate and postgraduate students who have opted for the Organic Chemistry study course as per the UGC syllabus. This book is equally useful for those students who are preparing for the NET-JRF-CSIR, SET, SLET, GATE, NET-ICAR and other competitive examinations like MPSC and UPSC. This book includes two volumes which divided into four chapters as volume-I cover oxidation and volume-II covers reduction in which general methods of preparations, synthetic applications and mechanism is discussed in details with different sets of examples. The large numbers of problems with solutions have been included at the end of each reagent discussions and covering the questions asked in different universities and competitive examinations. The organic synthesis is one of the most important branch of chemical science which wide exploited in the architecture of organic molecules with high biological significance.

Book Description
Combustion has played a central role in the development of our civilization which it maintains today as its predominant source of energy. The aim of this book is to provide an understanding of both fundamental and applied aspects of low-temperature combustion chemistry and autoignition. The topic is rooted in classical observational science and has grown, through an increasing understanding of the linkage of the phenomenology to coupled chemical reactions, to quite profound advances in the chemical kinetics of both complex and elementary reactions. The driving force has been both the intrinsic interest of an old and intriguing phenomenon and the centrality of its applications to our economic prosperity. The volume provides a coherent view of the subject while, at the same time, each chapter is self-contained.

Book Description
The Cloud Cover Satellite flown in Vanguard vehicles SLV-3 and SLV-4 required a spin rate of 55 r.p.m. when entering orbit. Since the third-stage rocket was spin-stabilized in flight, and because other considerations required that the satellite remain attached long enough to acquire more than the desired 55 r.p.m., a satellite spin-reduction mechanism was developed. Although the mechanisms functioned properly in both flights, the desired spin rate was not achieved owing to uncontrollable flight effects. These effects make the prediction of satellite spin rates after a long pre-separation coasting period extremely difficult. To meet future requirements a control system is needed which can orient a payload according to a predetermined scheme and maintain that orientation for the desired period.

Book Description
The Book Provides A Self-Study Of Different Topics Of Organic Chemistry Viab Problem Solving. The Present 4Th Edition Has Been Completely Rewritten According To The Organic Chemistry Syllabus Of The Net (Csir) Examination. This Necessitated The Deletion Of Several Topics From The Third Edition And Incorporation Of New Ones. Emphasis Has Been Laid On A Variety Of New Reactions, Name Reactions, Reagents In Organic Synthesis And Incorporation Of Their Knowledge In The Entire Coverage Of Organic Chemistry In A Unique Way.A Thorough Study Of The Book Is Expected To Help The Student To Excel Not Only In The University Examination Including The Net Examination, But Also In His Learning Of Various Topics And Before Interview Boards. Several Topics Like Aromaticity, Pericyclic Reactions And Heterocyclic Chemistry Have Now Been Brought Up To Date And The Material Provided Is Complete In Itself.The Presentation Has Been So Designed So As To Thread Through The Entire Organic Chemistry By The Application Of The Knowledge Learnt In One Topic To Newer Situations In Other Topics. The Present Revised Edition Also Includes Numerous Important Developments Since The Third Edition Of The Book Was Published.

Book Description
This open access book addresses the epistemological and ontological significance as well as the scope of new mechanism. In particular, this book addresses the issues of what is "new" about new mechanism, the epistemological and ontological reasons underlying the adoption of mechanistic instead of other modelling strategies as well as the possibility of mechanistic explanation to accommodate a non-trivial notion of emergence. Arguably, new mechanism has been particularly successful in making sense of scientific practice in the molecular life sciences. But what about other sciences? This book enlarges the context of analysis, addressing the issue of the putative compatibility between the current ways of conceiving new mechanism and actual scientific practices in quantum physics, chemistry, biochemistry, developmental biology and the cognitive sciences.
