Prestressed Concrete covers the fundamentals of prestressing, systems of prestressing, losses, the ultimate strength of sections in flexure, shear and torsion, anchorage zone stresses, limit state concepts and holistic design of prestressed concrete elements. The book also provides information on design of determinate structures and indeterminate structures (beams and frames) inclusive of cable profiling. It discusses special structures like pipes, water tanks, etc. and the behavior of composite structures such as precast prestressed concrete beams cast- in-situ R.C. slab, along with its design provisions. It is a valuable guide for practicing engineers, students, and researchers.

Taking a science-based look at an emerging area of medicine, this book discusses the biology of adaptation at the molecular, cellular, and system levels in response to a variety of stressful conditions. Leading international experts present a total of 37 chapters that cover a common continuum of adaptations. For easy reading, the information has been grouped under the sub-headings: Cardiovasular Adaptation, Adaptations to Changes in Altitude and Microgravity, and Environmental Stresses. Examples of cross adaptations are included where repeated exposure to one stimulus may have applications in the treatment and prophylaxis of different diseases.

Industries that use machines in their day-to-day operations include power, automobile, steel, and chemical plants sectors, to mention just a few. As these industries' services evolve, their machines must also evolve. To design these machines, you must understand both their performance requirements and the physical concepts governing their motion. Emphasizing the industrial relevance of the subject matter, Mechanics of Machines provides the fundamental information students need to decide on the criteria for designing new machines and for analyzing the root cause of problems arising out of malfunctioning of existing equipment.

Object Oriented Programming Using C++ provides the details of C++ required for both traditional programming and object oriented programming in such a lucid manner that the reader does not require any prior knowledge of C. The text begins by addressing the fundamentals of C++; such as control statements, arrays, pointers, and structures and function. It then moves on to provide coverage on object oriented programming features of C++, discussions on implementation of data structures like linked lists, stacks, queues, binary trees using pointers, and classes. The book concludes with coverage on graphics in C++, string functions, operator loading, and advanced formatting features.

Designed to ensure undergraduate chemistry students have basic computer proficiency, this book introduces the fundamentals of computers, then builds a solid foundation in programming using the BASIC programming language and simple examples from chemistry. The author's straightforward approach moves smoothly from simple to complex ideas, from elementary input/output statements through data string manipulation and searching methods to graphics and numerical methods. The last two chapters discuss a variety of available software packages particularly useful in chemistry. Each chapter includes solved examples and review questions that reinforce and stimulate interest in the ideas presented.
