Capital Markets of India: An Investor's Guide

Alan R. Kanuk, "Capital Markets of India: An Investor's Guide"
Wiley 2007 | ISBN-10: 0470137630 | 404 Pages | PDF | 1,7 MB

While China has taken center stage for global investors over the past decade, the majority of individuals and institutions alike have overlooked the opportunity to invest in a largely underappreciated, under-invested, dynamic, and reforming economy: India. Since the early 1990s, India's?government has promoted reforms that have created sustainable 7 1/2 to 8 percent annual growth, with no slow-down in sight. But while the investment world is now beginning to pay serious attention to India, the level of exposure to this market continues to be relatively minor, and the average investor's knowledge of India is minimal.

Capital Markets of India addresses the basics of becoming a new investor in the Indian markets, explaining how the market operates and how you can get involved. It provides the necessary information about Indian financial institutions, such as the stock exchanges and regulatory structure; the strength of these institutions; the safety and integrity of the market; and the trading and settlement process. The author explains the reforms that have taken place and the advantages that they bring to the market, while also outlining market risks.

This detailed guide not only offers basic information about how the markets in India work, but also provides the contacts and facts to help individuals with their own investing plan. It explains how to make investments in the market, the restrictions or requirements for foreigners investing in the domestic markets, and the exact procedures to follow to address these requirements.

Capital Markets of India also provides you with an overview of the products available in this market—including equity and derivative products as well as stocks underlying the various derivative products—along with descriptions of government and private debt markets and various general market and sector-specific indexes, together with their component companies. In addition, a set of useful appendixes provides names, descriptions, and Web site addresses of key market institutions; names, addresses, and phone numbers of important market participants; and many more valuable facts.

India presents a compelling investment opportunity to the savvy investor. Capital Markets of India shows both individual and institutional investors how to take full advantage of it.

Mechanisms in Advanced Organic Chemistry

R. P. Narain, "Mechanisms in Advanced Organic Chemistry"
New Age International | 2009-08-07 | ISBN: 8122426476 | 334 pages | PDF | 1,6 MB

For a very long time the need was felt by graduate and postgraduate students of Chemistry of almost all colleges and of Indian Universities for a book dealing with advanced mechanistic organic chemistry written in understandable language and with suitable examples which can be easily grasped to make their concept clear. Besides students; this has also been the requirement of teachers teaching advanced mechanistic organic chemistry.; Till about 1959 there appears to be the only book by E.S. Gould (Structure and Mechanism of Organic Chemistry) but the examples mentioned in it are so difficult at several places that they elude the comprehension of even teachers; not to talk of students. Around sixties appeared the book by Jerry March (Advanced Organic Chemistry; Reactions; Mechanism and Structure). It was definitely a much better advance than that of Gould; but it has been made so bulky that its cost has become prohibitive. It adores the racks and shelves of libraries. In view of the above difficulties of teacher and students; the present book has been brought out.; Some of its special chapters are the Pericyclic Reactions; which includes Cheletropic; Electrocyclic; sigmatropic and cycloaddition reactions. The concept of stereochemistry and conformation deserve special attention not because they cater to the needs of higher students; but they are immensely useful for candidates trying for UGC and CSIR sponsored competitive examinations; but also those preparing for Union Public Service Commission and State Public Service Commission Exams. The candidates will find the chapters immensely useful and is sure to rouse interest in them in knowing more about mechanistic chemistry.; Spectroscopy is another topic; a good knowledge of which is expected from any good chemist. The spectroscopy finds immense applications in the identification of several unknown compounds in the field of research and medicine. Here one has to be very careful in elucidating the correct structure of entities. Moreover; in every examination (Competitive or regular) one has to show his skill in the area of spectroscopy and therefore chapters on spectroscopy giving a clear and lucid account is also noteworthy.

India has become a highly visible participant in the information communication technology (ICT) industry. Since the 1990s, it has been one of the fastest growing economies in the world, emerging as the most watched test of global capitalism. The contributors to this volume examine how the ICT-driven development of India appears to have skipped the middle stages of the traditional economic development models and leapfrogged directly to the final stage whereby growth is mostly technologically driven.

Raman and His Effect

G. Venkataraman, "Raman and His Effect".
Publisher: Sangam Books Ltd | ISBN: 8173710082 | 1995 edition | djvu | 114 Pages | 1.12 MB

This book and others in this series written by me are inspired by the memory of my son Suresh who left this world soon after completing school. Suresh and I often used to discuss physics. It was then that I introduced him to the celebrated Feynman Lectures. Hans Bethe has described Feynman as the most original scientist of this century. To that perhaps may be added the statement that Feynman was also the most scintillating teacher of physics in this century.The Feynman Lectures are great but they are at the textbook level and meant for serious reading. Moreover, they are a bit expensive, at least for the average Indian student. It seemed to me that there was scope for small books on diverse topics in physics which would stimulate interest, making at least some of our young students take up later a serious study of physics and reach for the Feynman as well as the Landau classics.Small books inevitably remind me of Gamow's famous volumes. They were wonderful, and stimulated me to no small extent. Times have changed, physics has grown and we clearly need other books, though written in the sanje spirit.

Indian Sweets, Raksha Bandhan Special Recipes

Samsung Contributors, "Indian Sweets, Raksha Bandhan Special Recipes"
Samsung | 2004 | ISBN: R20090715A | 42 pages | PDF | 1,1 MB

A celebration of the bonds between a brother and sister, the family holiday of Raksha Bandhan (Rakhi) is observed in most Indian communities around the world.

In India and many Indian communities, anyone close to you who does not have a sister or brother of their own may be honored as brothers and sisters on this day.

The highlight of the observance is when a sister ties the rakhi, a silk string, around her brother's wrist. More elaborate modern versions may be gold or intricately woven strands of silk, but the traditional rakhi given to brothers on Raksha Bandhan is a single strand of silk that symbolizes the bond. The silk is delicate...almost invisible, but extremely strong. The brother usually gives a gift in return -- sometimes sweets, but very often a generous gift of money to help his sister through the year!

David Stephenson - Pipeline Design for Water Engineers

David Stephenson - Pipeline Design for Water Engineers

"... the book is at its best in the design and analysis sections and could stand on these alone as a well-stocked handbook with copious references for further study," commented the Journal of the National Water Council after publication of an earlier edition of Pipeline Design for Water Engineers.

This classic monograph has been revised and updated to take account of new developments in the field. Recent research in cavitation and flow control has prompted additional sections to be added. There are also new sections on supports to exposed pipes and secondary stress. Additional references and a new layout make up this edition. Some sections appearing in previous editions, noteably on pipe network systems analysis and optimization have been ommitted as they were considered more appropriate in the author's parallel book ``Pipeflow Analysis'' (Developments in Water Science, 19).

Roaming in Wireless Networks

Roaming in Wireless Networks (Communications Engineering)
McGraw-Hill Professional; 1 edition | ISBN: 0071455051 | 324 pages | September 28, 2005 | PDF | 1 Mb

A cell phone’s roaming feature allows the user to get service when traveling beyond the boundaries of his/her service provider. Wireless service providers make approximately 30% of their operating profit from roaming. But despite being a major source of income, roaming suffers from a number of technological problems in the handoff between networks. Signal strength is wildly variable, calls are frequently dropped, and quality of service is poor. Based upon training courses the author teaches at Agilent and Hewlett-Packard, this is the first book to give communications engineers the know-how to faultlessly design and manage roaming services.

IT Financial Management

Maxime Sottini, "IT Financial Management"
Van Haren Publishing | 2009 | ISBN: 9087535015 | 230 pages | PDF | 1,9 MB

It is now accepted that IT functions are a fundamental part of the competitive business model. Instead of simply offering services IT must create value for the business. This practical title describes the strong financial skills that IT managers must have in order to support:

*Operations: Finance departments rely heavily on IT managers being able to identify, track and measure costs sometimes at a very granular level

*Budgeting: the very technical nature of IT operations means that budgeting can be more complex than many other areas

*Project Delivery: large technical project deliveries means that costs can be correspondingly complex to account for

*Business Modeling; pricing models rely heavily on IT managers skills and accuracy. Where one service supports many commercial offerings a strong model is needed to apportion costs appropriately

*Investment and business cases: a sound understanding of the financial contribution the IT assets make to the overall business is critical to gain support for ongoing investment

This outstanding title covers the main financial concepts that managers need to be familiar with in order for IT to take its proper senior place as a contributor to the business. It assumes a basic level of financial understanding and builds on the techniques required almost daily; therefore it is overwhelmingly practical and based on real world scenarios. Not only are the techniques fully described but issues such as roles, implementation, daily management and even tooling are detailed.

Secure Coding in C and C++

Robert C. Seacord, "Secure Coding in C and C++"
Addison-Wesley Professional | 2005-09-19 | ISBN: 0321335724 | 368 pages | CHM | 3 MB

"The security of information systems has not improved at a rate consistent with the growth and sophistication of the attacks being made against them. To address this problem, we must improve the underlying strategies and techniques used to create our systems. Specifically, we must build security in from the start, rather than append it as an afterthought. That's the point of Secure Coding in C and C++. In careful detail, this book shows software developers how to build high-quality systems that are less vulnerable to costly and even catastrophic attack. It's a book that every developer should read before the start of any serious project." --Frank Abagnale, author, lecturer, and leading consultant on fraud prevention and secure documents Learn the Root Causes of Software Vulnerabilities and How to Avoid Them Commonly exploited software vulnerabilities are usually caused by avoidable software defects. Having analyzed nearly 18,000 vulnerability reports over the past ten years, the CERT/Coordination Center (CERT/CC) has determined that a relatively small number of root causes account for most of them. This book identifies and explains these causes and shows the steps that can be taken to prevent exploitation. Moreover, this book encourages programmers to adopt security best practices and develop a security mindset that can help protect software from tomorrow's attacks, not just today's. Drawing on the CERT/CC's reports and conclusions, Robert Seacord systematically identifies the program errors most likely to lead to security breaches, shows how they can be exploited, reviews the potential consequences, and presents secure alternatives. Coverage includes technical detail on how to
*Improve the overall security of any C/C++ application
*Thwart buffer overflows and stack-smashing attacks that exploit insecure string manipulation logic
*Avoid vulnerabilities and security flaws resulting from the incorrect use of dynamic memory management functions
*Eliminate integer-related problems: integer overflows, sign errors, and truncation errors
*Correctly use formatted output functions without introducing format-string vulnerabilities
*Avoid I/O vulnerabilities, including race conditions Secure Coding in C and C++ presents hundreds of examples of secure code, insecure code, and exploits, implemented for Windows and Linux. If you're responsible for creating secure C or C++ software--or for keeping it safe--no other book offers you this much detailed, expert assistance.

Gavin JT Powell, Oracle High Performance Tuning for 9i and 10g
Digital Press | ISBN: 1555583059 | 2003 | CHM | 544 pages | 10.54 MB

Master the three parts of tuning an Oracle database: data modeling, SQL code tuning and physical database configuration. A data model contains tables and relationships between tables. Tuning a data model involves nNormalization and dDe-normalization. Different approaches are required depending on the application, such as OLTP or a Data Warehouse. Inappropriate database design can make SQL code impossible to tune. Poor data modeling can have a most profound effect on database performance since all SQL code is constructed from the data model. Poorly written SQL code is often a culprit in performance problems and is expensive to rectify. However, tuning of SQL code is generally cheaper than changing the data model. SQL code tend to be contained inside independent blocks within applications or stored procedures.
