Successfully bringing MEMS-based products to market hinges on engineering the component to have sufficient reliability for the intended application, yet the reliability and qualification methodology for MEMS based products is not widely understood. Companies that have a deep understanding of MEMS reliability because of specific high volume manufacturing experience generally view the details of a reliability program as a competitive advantage and are reluctant to share it. MEMS Reliability focuses on the reliability and manufacturability of MEMS at a fundamental product engineering level by addressing process development and characterization, material property characterization, failure mechanisms and physics of failure (PoF), accelerated testing and lifetime prediction, design strategies for improving yield, design for reliability (DfR), packaging and testing. 

Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering

(2nd Edition)

This completely revised edition of the book, written with a design bias, is an outcome of vast experiences of practicing engineers. Besides the treatment of the theories, designs of foundations have been extensively covered. Suitable changes have been incorporated in chapters on “Earth Retaining Walls”, “Foundations” and "Machine Foundations". Since “Roads” are very much “foundations”, there is a chapter on “Roads and Runways”. Keeping in mind the technological advancement and changing techniques, chapters on “Instrumentation”, “Shallow Foundations”, “Deep Foundations”, “Tiebacks & Anchors”, “Reinforced Earth”, “Slabs on Grade”, and “Soil Stabilisation” have been added in this edition. The book fully covers the degree courses in civil engineering and, also, partly covers the curriculum for post-graduate studies. 

Dock and Harbour Engineering

Hasmukh P. Oza and Gautam H Oza

The book deals with all the normal port aspects in a holistic way. Topics, such as "Ship Features", "Traffic Forecasting and Hinterland", "Cargo Handling Equipment", "Construction Materials" etc. have been covered. Other cogent information viz. “Ships for LPG - LNG and Other Bulk Liquids”, “Properties of Liquids and Liquefied Gases”, “Details of Selected Ships”, “Coastal Regulation Zone” and “Port Charges” have also been included. Two case histories have been added in this Revised Edition. One is design of a waterfront structure, a Berth or a Wharf. The second “case” is of another waterfront structure, a Sea Water Intake Station. Fundamental concepts are lucidly presented and derived and empirical formulae given with clarity of underlying assumptions.

Mehbub Gulley, written by Thanksy Thekkekara under the pseudonym Elizabeth Kottarem and published by Partridge India, is an anthology of stories about the lives of ordinary men and women in India, their existential dilemmas and the choices that they make. These stories bring home the sights and sounds of India seen in its small towns, cities and villages. What happens when poor and studious Samuel from Alleppey gets selected to the Indian Administrative Service and marries into a wealthy landowning family? Stefan, a young Austrian tourist finds himself succumbing to the enticements of Hyderabadi Biryani and a dimpled brown nymph, under the shadows of the Charminar in Hyderabad. With an element of humor in every tale, this book offers eighteen short stories which have varied themes – from arranged marriages, divorce, trauma of abused children, how domestic help is treated in India, to the emergence of moral policing. The book is available for online purchase on Amazon India, Flipkart, and the Barnes and Noble website.

Your Shadow Wants to Walk Alone is a book of poems. Originally written in Hindi, these poems have been translated by the author himself into English to connect with one and all. Emotions are universal and they transcend all barriers of geography or age. The book passionately captures the imagination, thoughts, dreams and life through its various phases. All of these connect with one another, even though they appear disjointed many a time. They capture multiple shades. Some of them drive the simplicity of dreams and aspirations, while others contemplate a different way of thinking. Some reflect from deep within and some look far away.

The book includes four of the best known stories by the legendary Marathi writer GA Kulkarni. Iskilar, generally regarded as GA’s masterpiece, packs a microcosm of scenes, lives and philosophies in the time-span of a single night. Deliverance (Mukti) too takes place over a single evening, but is shaped by events of more than one lifetime. Orpheus re-tells the well-known legend, as seen in a very different light by GA’s imagination. The Seeker (Yaatrik) is a take-off on the well loved story of Don Quixote, but reveals its characters – Don and Sancho- in a completely new light. Each of the stories takes the reader on a voyage of discovery, to a new world, new atmosphere, among different people. What one discovers though, are timeless insights about life, man and destiny.

The book is available on Flipkart and Amazon

Kashyap Deorah

Ever wondered why global investors are willing to write million dollar cheques to young and inexperienced entrepreneurs? Why are companies no longer judged on their ability to make profits? How can the valuation of a startup dwarf that of its well-established counterpart? Is it a bubble? Or have the rules of the game changed? Can these hyper-funded technology driven companies become global superpowers? Or is it an unsustainable phenomenon?

The Golden Tap gives you the answers. In a remarkably honest, no holds barred account Kashyap - himself a serial entrepreneur - demystifies the technology ecosystem that exists in India today. 

The Indian RTI Act as passed by parliament has been ranked third worldwide, but is number 66 in terms of implementation! Shalilesh Gandhi wrote this ebook to interpret the words of the law passed by Parliament.  His co-author is Mr. Pralhad Kachare who is a bureaucrat and was heading the RTI training cell at YASHADA.

A unique feature of this book is that its draft was shared with former Chief Information Commissioner Mr. Satyananda Mishra and Mr. Toby Mendel who is one of the leading international experts in transparency laws. They gave their views on the interpretations and the authors incorporated most of them. After that there were some differences in interpretations and nuances which have been mentioned in the footnotes in the book.  The authors claim that this is the most authentic interpretation of the RTI Act. The book could empower citizens and is a plea to all adjudicators to follow the words of the law.

The ebook can be downloaded from this link.  The hardcopy version will be available soon.

This book attempts to partially fill those gaps.  

The book is extremely useful for all students of Yoga. The book is available worldwide on both Amazon.in and Amazon.com
