This is a step-by-step guide where each chapter will teach you a concept by explaining it with clear and lucid examples– each chapter can be read independently. This book is aimed at developers, architects who are building large distributed concurrent and scalable applications using Java/Scala. The book assumes knowledge of Java/JEE concepts but no knowledge of Actor model is assumed.
This book provides a detailed understanding of optimization methods as they are implemented in a variety of manufacturing, fabrication and machining processes. It covers the implementation of statistical methods, multi-criteria decision making methods and evolutionary techniques for single and multi-objective optimization to improve quality, productivity, and sustainability in manufacturing. It reports on the theoretical aspects, special features, recent research and latest development in the field. Optimization of Manufacturing Processes is a valuable source of information for researchers and practitioners, as it fills the gap where no dedicated book is available on intelligent manufacturing/modeling and optimization in manufacturing. Readers will develop an understanding of the implementation of statistical and evolutionary techniques for modeling and optimization in manufacturing.

The rapid growth of modern industry has resulted in a growing demand for construction materials with excellent operational properties. However, the improved features of these materials can significantly hinder their manufacture and, therefore, they can be defined as hard-to-cut. The main difficulties during the manufacturing/processing of hard-to-cut materials are attributed especially to their high hardness and abrasion resistance, high strength at room or elevated temperatures, increased thermal conductivity, as well as resistance to oxidation and corrosion. Nowadays, the group of hard-to-cut materials is extensive and still expanding, which is attributed to the development of a novel manu...
In businesses and organizations, understanding the social reality of individuals, groups, and cultures allows for in-depth understanding and rich analysis of multiple research areas to improve practices. Qualitative research provides important insight into the interactions of the workplace.

Diabetes, also known as Diabetes Mellitus, occurs when the body is unable to make proper use of glucose, its main energy source. As a result the level of glucose in the blood becomes too high – hyperglycemia. There are three main types of diabetes – type 1, type 2 and gestational diabetes. The management of diabetes is a major health challenge. Diabetes is rising day by day. India is going to become the hub for diabetes mellitus patients. Its prevalence is steadily increasing everywhere. Unfortunately lack of access to quality health care by the modern medicines is an important issue to be tackled by other therapeutic means. One of the most important therapeutic means may be indigenous p...
