Book Description
This monograph presents a detailed report on the social behaviour and ecology of a previously little known species, the capped langur (presbytis pileata). The author observed capped langurs at Madhupur National Park in Bangladesh, where they live in small one-male groups. This account of his 15-month field study focuses on the relationships among one-male groups and the influence of ecology and seasonal variation in diet upon social behaviour. patterns and aspects of intra-group and intergroup behaviour, whch are then used to test predictions of traditional ecological models of primate social systems. Features of the capped langur's behaviour and ecology that differ from previously studied colobine monkeys are also described in detail.

Alternative Defense Strategies in a Cost-Capped Environment
Author: Mark F. Cancian
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1442259116
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 135
Book Description
This study identifies five alternative strategies and, using CSIS’s Force Cost Calculator, builds a cost-capped force structure, modernization program, and readiness profile for each strategy. It then stress-tests each strategy against four sets of simultaneous conflict scenarios, which the authors devised. The study explores potential ways to mitigate the fiscal pressure forcing these strategic tradeoffs. It concludes by making recommendations for the FY 2017 defense budget and the next Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR).

Quaternary Capped In(Ga)As/GaAs Quantum Dot Infrared Photodetectors
Author: Sourav Adhikary
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 9811052905
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 72
Book Description
This book introduces some alternative methods for enhancing the performance of In(Ga)As/GaAs-based quantum dot infrared photodetectors (QDIPs). In(Ga)As/GaAs-based QDIPs and focal plane array (FPA) cameras have wide application in fields such as military and space science. The core of the study uses a combination of quaternary In0.21Al0.21Ga0.58As and GaAs spacer as a capping layer on In(Ga)As/GaAs quantum dots in the active region of the detector structure. For the purposes of optimization, three types of samples growths are considered with different capping thicknesses. The results presented include TEM, XRD and photoluminescence studies that compare combination barrier thickness and its effect on structural and optical properties. Compressive strain within the heterostructure, thermal stability in high temperature annealing, spectral response, shifts in PL peaks peak,and responsivity and detectivity are all considered. The results also present a narrow spectral width that was obtained by using InAs QDs which is very useful for third generation FPA camera application. The book details effect of post-growth rapid thermal annealing on device characteristics and methods to enhance responsivity and peak detectivity. The contents of this book will be useful to researchers and professionals alike.

The Cloud-Capped Star (Meghe Dhaka Tara)
Author: Manishita Dass
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1838719962
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 113
Book Description
Ritwik Ghatak's The Cloud-Capped Star (Meghe Dhaka Tara, 1960) has been hailed as 'one of the great classics of world cinema' (Adrian Martin), and 'one of the five or six greatest melodramas in cinema history' (Serge Daney). A striking blend of modernist aesthetics and melodramatic force, it is arguably the best-known film by Ghatak, widely considered to be one of the most original, politically committed, and formally innovative film-makers from India. The film's focus on a family uprooted by the Partition of India and its powerful exploration of displacement and historical trauma gives it a renewed relevance in the midst of a global refugee crisis. Manishita Dass situates the film in its historical and cultural contexts and within Ghatak's film-making career, and connects it to his theatrical work and his writings on film and theatre. Her close reading of the film locates its emotional and intellectual power in what she describes as its 'cinematic theatricality,' and brings into focus Ghatak's modernist experiments with melodramatic devices, his deliberate departures from cinematic realism, and distinctive use of sound and music. The book draws on extensive archival research, excavates new layers of meaning, and offers fresh insights into the cosmopolitan cinematic sensibility of a director described as 'one of the most neglected major film-makers in the world' (Jonathan Rosenbaum).
