The Naga Story
There was complete darkness in the room. Rumi and Shekhar shuddered on seeing the sadhus with ash on their bodies and matted hair engaged in silent meditation. The desire to know about Naga sadhus had drawn them there. Some sadhus were meditating; some were chanting loudly, some seemed to be doing silent meditation. Those sadhus were doing penance in the bone-chilling cold in the snowy solitude. Long matted hair was wrapped around their heads. The face was rough; the whole existence was covered with flames of anger - unperturbed, neutral and free from worldly troubles. One would think twice before stepping into this lonely world, but those who have passion, courage to do something, what fear do they have? The life of Shiva devotees and armed Naga Sadhus was no less than an unsolved mystery for them. They are seen in thousands in Kumbh and then suddenly disappear. Who are Naga Sadhus, how is their life and why are they called Dharmarakshak warriors - know all this in this interesting and completely new style novel.
Methanol
This monograph is based on methanol as a fuel for transportation sector, specifically for compression ignition (CI) engines. The contents present examples of utilization of methanol as a fuel for CI engines in different modes of transportation such as railroad, personal vehicles or heavy duty road transportation. The book also focuses on effect of methanol on combustion and performance characteristics of the engine. The effect of methanol on exhaust emission production, prediction and control is also discussed. It also discusses current methanol utilization and its potential, its effect on the engine in terms of efficiency, combustion, performance, pollutants formation and prediction. Part of the chapters are based on review of state-of-the-art while other chapters are dedicated to an original research.

Light Harvesting Nanomaterials
Mankind’s search for alternative energy sources to oil and gas reserves has been fueled by increasing energy demands and technological developments. Today, the prospect of harvesting energy from new sources is a major issue in scientific and economic discourse and will remain to be so in the future decades to come. Sunlight is known as a reliable and renewable energy source which can be utilized to meet forthcoming energy demand if it is exploited in an efficient manner. Light harvesting nanomaterials represent one way in which this can be achieved through biomimetics or artificially designed supramolecular structures. This eBook brings together facts about the underlying principles and theory about light harvesting systems. It presents interdisciplinary research work with emphasis on nanoscale objects used to harvest light. Light Harvesting Nanomaterials details a broad range of systems including solar cells which involve hybrid materials to durable tetrapyrrolic sensitizers and other nanopolymer based systems. This eBook is a valuable reference for advanced readers interested in novel technologies that utilize light energy for functional and technical benefits.
CINEMA BHOJPURI
