The third edition of this text is yet another step ahead of the second edition in that this has one more appendix viz. the theory of errors in addition to the revisions of some small segments. The treatment is as before; rigorous yet elegant and user-friendly and covers a wide range of topics such as transformation, convergence, and multivariate analysis. The special feature of this text is its effort to resolve many outstanding issues of probability and statistics.

Modern angiosperm taxonomy or systematics provides a strong foundation for the progress of biological sciences as it incorporates studies on biosystematics, chemical and serological evidences, numerical taxonomy, cytogenetical and ecological evidences and many others. This book accounts for information on classical and fundamental aspects of taxonomy as well as its recent developments. Special attention has been paid to the chapters on origin of Angiosperms, Theory of Evolution and Evolutionary trends in Angiosperm Flowers. The International Code of Botanical Nomenclature, Important herbaria,

Historically fungi included diverse organisms. In view of the recent developments in their ultra structure, biochemistry and molecular biology, the book provides a fresh look at the status of fungi in the biological world. Unlike traditional textbooks, taxonomic groups of fungi and related organisms studied by mycologists have been reshuffled and assigned positions according to modern scheme of classification. In the light of the advent of genetic manipulation and allied technology, the role of fungi in commercial production of unusual drugs, as hormones and some proteins, is examined. Some re

The present work is concerned with the design of PID controllers, calculation of set point weighting parameter and identification of transfer function models for unstable systems with time delay and without or with a zero. Synthesis method, IMC method and Equating coefficient method are proposed for design of PID controllers. Three methods are proposed to calculate the set point weighting parameters. Closed loop reaction curve method and optimization method are proposed for identifying transfer function models. Several simulation examples on transfer function models of FCC reactor, distillatio

The stable isotopes of hydrogen and oxygen of water molecule, environmental radioactive isotopes 3H, 10Be, 14C, 26Al, 32Si, 36Cl, 39Ar, 53Mn, 59Ni, 81Kr and 137Cs, nuclear explosion- produced 3H, 36Cl, 85Kr, 129I are some of the isotopes which have played a vital role in understanding the movement of water in hydrological cycle especially in hydrology, hydrogeology and water resources. There are many other radioactive isotopes specially 131I, 82Br, 22Na 198Au and other short-lived isotopes which are used as tracers. Further gamma radiations from many radioactive isotopes, specially 137Cs, 134C
