The 2nd edition has been thoroughly revised and is intended as a wakeup call in the stagnant and dormant field of switching algebra and logic circuit design. It presents the material in a concise but thorough way. The topics selected are an in-depth presentation of switching algebra, a theory of memory circuits (sometimes called flop flops), a new approach to asynchronous circuits, and a newly added part presenting a unique programming technique (or language) for programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Be ready for the unorthodox and controversial.

English | 2024 | ISBN: 9819964679 | 311 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 62 MB
This book presents select proceedings of North-East Research Conclave (NERC 2022) on innovative design for societal needs. Human Society and culture are a continuously evolving, complex, and intelligent system. The social needs of humans today are exacerbated by extremely unbalanced regional economic development and cultural identity crises across the globe and within states. This edited book presents cutting-edge research on how design innovation can be used to bring sustainable and meaningful social change. It also provides novel directions for future researchers interested in exploring the impact of design innovation and design thinking on human society. The book can be a valuable reference for beginners, researchers, and professionals interested in innovative design and allied fields.

Free Download Green Approaches in Building Design and Management Practices: Windows of Opportunity Towards Circularity
English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031467590 | 210 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 12 MB
This book examines green transition and circular economy in the fields of building design and Real Estate management. By outlining windows for seizing the opportunity to integrate circular approaches in current building practices, the book provides information tools to support building stakeholders (e.g. building designer and managers, manufacturers, Real Estate owners, maintenance operators, facility managers, etc.) in: (i) understanding circular re-strategies (e.g. reuse, remanufacturing, repurposing, etc.), the related requirements and the pre-conditions for their implementation within building design and management practices; (ii) reviewing design approaches at the product and building scale, also highlighting new circularity-related contents for the Briefing Documents; (iii) developing circular organizational and contract models for the procurement of Facility Management services, also integrating new circularity-related contents in Invitations to Tenders (ITTs); and (iv) assessing the quality and the effectiveness of circular practices, also highlighting circularity performance metrics and indicators in the context of corporate sustainability reporting.

Learning design is an ill-structured process that must account for multiple stakeholders, contextual constraints, and other instructional needs. Whereas many theories outline learning theories, less is known about the formative design process and how it impacts the design and development of learning technologies. This is critical because a formative view considers the issues that educators encounter and how to overcome them during the learning design process.

Free Download Entangled Ecologies as Metaphors of State Design
English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031465172 | 354 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 14 MB
This book takes a unique approach to the ethnographic and analytical explorations of ecologies in the making. The core theme of the work will be the emerging anthropocene contexts that simultaneously bring unprecedented human interactions with the non-human as well as the emergence of hybrid ecologies. There will be dependence on existing literature, own ethnographic work that has already went into this, the closer introspection of immediate geographies as well as the pertinent debates. There has been a reconfiguration of meaning and nature of spaces in the context of social relations produced by neo-liberal globalization. States as they have been are transforming and are influenced by policies made beyond borders. This work is marked out by careful enquiry on ecologies in the making with the backdrop of distinct regional developmentalist trajectories as well as specific ethnography from Kerala, South-West India.
