Molecular modelling is the scientific art of simulating chemical or biological systems, so that computational methods can be applied to understand the process concerned. Models using computers are generated using mathematical equations and are evolved based on experimental information that is taken into consideration during model building. This book is an introduction to the field of molecular modelling and drug design in which biological molecules effective in treating diseases are discovered using in silico methods.

In this book, Part III "Aquatic Angiosperms", the author has described the flowering plants living in water, rooted in the soil and leaves and flowers present above the water level, or totally submerged in water. The parts of the plants have been examined and drawn by the author, who has travelled almost throughout Tamil Nadu. As a teacher of over 30 years in Botany, Annamalai University, he has the experience of 25 years as Botanic Garden in-charge, in Annamalai University. Besides guiding Ph.D and M.Phil Scholars in Cytotaxonomy and Cytogenetics (30 Ph.D and 46 M.Phil), he has also published research papers in most of the families of flowering plants in cytotaxonomy, cytogenetics and chemotaxonomy in Advanced Journals. This book is the continuation of the previous book of the author on Flowering plants of Tamil Nadu, Part I & II Mangrove Flora and Marine Angiosperms.More important plants, their uses, frequency of occurrence and the importance of taking conservation measures are provided in this book.
This book is a valuable introduction to that important but much neglected study -Dravidian culture and its place in Hindu Civilisation
In preparing this book, the author had especially in mind classes in the upper grades of grammar schools, though the work will be found equally well adapted to the needs of any classes of beginners. The ideas which have guided in the treatment of the subject are the following: The study of algebra is a continuation of what the pupil has been doing for years, but it is expected that this new work will result in a knowledge of general truths about numbers, and an increased power of clear thinking. All the differences between this work and that pursued in arithmetic may be traced to the introduction of two new elements, namely, negative numbers and the representation of numbers by letters. The solution of problems is one of the most valuable portions of the work, in that it serves to develop the thought-power of the pupil at the same time that it broadens his knowledge of numbers and their relations. Powers are developed and habits formed only by persistent, long-continued practice. Accordingly, in this book, it is taken for granted that the pupil knows what he may be reasonably expected to have learned from his study of arithmetic; abundant practice is given in the representation of numbers by letters, and great care is taken to make clear the meaning of the minus sign as applied to a single number, together with the modes of operating upon negative numbers; problems are given in every exercise in the book; and, instead of making a statement of what the child is to see in the illustrative example, Questions are asked which shall lead him to second for himself that which he is to learn from the example.
India has a rich heritage of tradition and culture which dates back to the beginning of human existence.

Beyond Good and Evil is a groundbreaking philosophical work by the influential Friedrich Nietzsche. In it, Nietzsche challenges traditional morality and values, arguing that they are subjective constructs that have been imposed upon society by those in power. He advocates for a new way of thinking that goes beyond the dichotomy of good and evil, and instead focuses on the individual's will to power and their ability to create their own values. Nietzsche's unique writing style and provocative ideas make Beyond Good and Evil a must-read for anyone interested in philosophy, psychology, and the nature of human existence. This book is a timeless masterpiece that continues to inspire and challenge readers to this day.
Theory of computation is the scientific discipline concerned with the study of general properties of computation and studies the inherent possibilities and limitations of efficient computation that makes machines more intelligent and enables them to carry out intellectual processes. This book deals with all those concepts by developing the standard mathematical models of computational devices, and by investigating the cognitive and generative capabilities of such machines. The book emphasizes on mathematical reasoning and problem-solving techniques that penetrate computer science. Each chapter gives a clear statement of definition and thoroughly discusses the concepts, principles and theorems with illustrative and other descriptive materials.
