This book examines the economic history of ancient South Asia by situating the Malwa region of Central India within Afro-Eurasian trade networks to illuminate the role of traders in the political, religious and economic processes connected with the Indo-Sasanian trade in the period of five centuries, circa CE 300-700.The book challenges the long-held centrality of the Roman factor in the South Asian economy by locating the Indo-Sasanian interactions in long distance economic networks with trade as a central feature. It considers the role and influence of traders as an understudied group affecting the contribution of the Indian economy to the world system. Amidst rapidly changing political landscapes, traders of Indian and Sasanian origins are studied as conscious political beings, who formed ties with varieties of polities and religious communities to secure their commercial interests. In addition, their commercial interactions with their Sogdian (Central Asia) and Aksumite (East Africa) counterparts are analyzed. The book also considers the nature of trade routes and the specific connections between mercantile and religious networks, including patterns of construction of religious shrines and temples along trade routes. Integrating epigraphic, numismatic, literary and archaeological evidence, this book moves away from a marginal treatment of the Indo-Sasanian trade in Indian history, and demonstrates how regional economic history must address a plurality of causes, actors, and processes in its assessment of the regional economy. The book will be of interest to students and academics of Indian economic history, as well as the ancient economies of South Asia more broadly.

Special care dentistry for developmentally disabled children involves providing tailored dental care to meet the unique needs of children with developmental disabilities.

With the increase in urban population, it became necessary to keep track of the object of interest. In favor of SDGs for sustainable smart city, with the advancement in technology visual tracking extends to track multi-target present in the scene rather estimating location for single target only. In contrast to single object tracking, multi-target introduces one extra step of detection. Tracking multi-target includes detecting and categorizing the target into multiple classes in the first frame and provides each individual target an ID to keep its track in the subsequent frames of a video stream. One category of multi-target algorithms exploits global information to track the target of the detected target. On the other hand, some algorithms consider present and past information of the target to provide efficient tracking solutions. Apart from these, deep leaning-based algorithms provide reliable and accurate solutions. But, these algorithms are computationally slow when applied in real-time. This book presents and summarizes the various visual tracking algorithms and challenges in the domain. The various feature that can be extracted from the target and target saliency prediction is also covered. It explores a comprehensive analysis of the evolution from traditional methods to deep learning methods, from single object tracking to multi-target tracking. In addition, the application of visual tracking and the future of visual tracking can also be introduced to provide the future aspects in the domain to the reader. This book also discusses the advancement in the area with critical performance analysis of each proposed algorithm. This book will be formulated with intent to uncover the challenges and possibilities of efficient and effective tracking of single or multi-object, addressing the various environmental and hardware challenges. The intended audience includes academicians, engineers, postgraduate students, developers, professionals, military personals, scientists, data analysts, practitioners, and people who are interested in exploring more about tracking.· Another projected audience are the researchers and academicians who identify and develop methodologies, frameworks, tools, and applications through reference citations, literature reviews, quantitative/qualitative results, and discussions.

In this book I have written my journey. Yes, the final journey has shown the reality of death.Yes, death!! that death which is known to all, but don't know when it will come but it won't kill us. I have written this book like satire in the form of lines after studying & understanding Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta, reading the voices of saints and great men.What we call the final journey? In fact, is completely different from the point of view of spirituality. We keep the truth under the mask and call the lie as truth. The truth has been written just by removing the veil of that lie.Hope you all read this book and take your life towards truth.

In India large areas are covered with highly plastic and expansive soil which is not suitable for civil engineering work because expansive soil is weak in strength. Generally, expansive soil swells and shrinks excessively with the change of water content and if any structure is in contact with expansive soil, it experiences differential settlement which leads to failure of structure. Therefore it is not suitable to use expansive soil without modifying its geotechnical properties. There are various process which are available like chemical, mechanical, biological or combined method in order to improve the strength parameters of soils. The soil stabilization has grown up a major concern in construction engineering and many studies have been conducted to determine the use of different types of materials as a new stabilizing agent. Brick is one of the important material which is used in construction. To produce brick, their are numerous brick kiln which has grown over decades in an unplanned way in different parts of the country. Brick dust is a waste material which is produced from brick kiln and which is not recycled yet and generally used for land filling.
