India's energy consumption pattern is in transition. The share of gas in the primary commercial energy mix is likely to rise from its current level of 8 % to 20 % by 2024-25. Large gas discoveries in the eastern offshore basin, which came into production in 2009, have doubled domestic supply. However, national gas policies, which were formulated during an era of shortages, have only recently begun to readjust to the emergence of gas as a potential competing fuel in India's energy basket. The Indian gas sector has often been viewed by international observers as an uncertain environment full of policy detail. In light of recent policy changes aimed at cultivating a market-oriented form of functioning, there is a real need for understanding the dynamics of policymaking in the sector. This book suggests that there is a 'bigger story' in the Indian gas sector, and attempts to guide the reader through the reasoning behind its policy construct. The book is organised in two parts; the first part sets out the factual basis for a policy discussion, through an incisive analysis of supply options, and of three major demand assessments for gas. It concludes that the market for Indian gas has failed to develop despite the fact that conditions for a market exist. The second part investigates the reasons for this failure through scrutiny of major government policies. It sets out how there are seemingly conflicting aims in the government's 'Gas Utilisation Policy', and investigates the set of policy tools that have been adopted to reconcile these aims, thus demystifying much of the complex policy matter on Indian gas. The analysis then goes further into the investigation of the main variables which shape the potential future of the Indian gas market, through a study of gas pricing. The conclusions draw out a set of suggestions on potential issues which require resolution or further analyses, in order for gas to fulfil its potential role in India's economic progress.

Introduction to Biometrics

Biometric recognition, or simply biometrics, is the science of establishing the identity of a person based on physical or behavioral attributes. It is a rapidly evolving field with applications ranging from securely accessing one’s computer to gaining entry into a country. While the deployment of large-scale biometric systems in both commercial and government applications has increased the public awareness of this technology, "Introduction to Biometrics" is the first textbook to introduce the fundamentals of Biometrics to undergraduate/graduate students. The three commonly used modalities in the biometrics field, namely, fingerprint, face, and iris are covered in detail in this book. Few other modalities like hand geometry, ear, and gait are also discussed briefly along with advanced topics such as multibiometric systems and security of biometric systems. Exercises for each chapter will be available on the book website to help students gain a better understanding of the topics and obtain practical experience in designing computer programs for biometric applications. These can be found at: http://www.csee.wvu.edu/~ross/BiometricsTextBook/.
Designed for undergraduate and graduate students in computer science and electrical engineering, "Introduction to Biometrics" is also suitable for researchers and biometric and computer security professionals.

This CD-ROM provides a thorough, interactive tutorial on electrocardiogram interpretation and a comprehensive, easily navigable reference library of common and uncommon electrocardiograms. The CD-ROM contains more than 620 12-lead electrocardiograms grouped into three levels of complexity: beginning, intermediate, and advanced. Each tracing is labeled with color-coded annotation arrows to highlight key concepts, and is accompanied by a clinical history and interpretation and a list of diagnostic keywords. The keywords can be used for quick and easy searches when retrieving examples of specific electrocardiogram findings and diagnoses.At the end of each level are 10 non-disclosed tracings with multiple-choice questions. Users can submit their answers to these questions and obtain up to 65 hours of AMA category 1 CME credit.A companion workbook contains reproductions of each electrocardiogram on the CD-ROM, for flexible independent self-study and hard copy ECG review.Windows / Macintosh / Network Compatible
