"A Short Introduction to Biomedical Engineering", Dr. Sarbadhikari SN, Universities Press India Ltd. Co. (Orient Longman), 2006
Bioengineering is the application of electrical, mechanical, chemical, optical and other engineering principles to understand, modify or control biological (plant and animal ? including human) systems, and also to design and manufacture products for monitoring physiological functions, assisting in diagnoses, assessing prognoses and helping in treatment of patients. A Short Introduction to Biomedical Engineering presents a bird?s eye view of the important components of biomedical engineering for the benefit of undergraduate and postgraduate students.
"Depression and Dementia: Progress in Brain Research, Clinical Applications and Future Trends", Dr. Sarbadhikari SN, Nova Publishers, New York, 2005
Many of the mechanisms of brain action, in health, as well as diseases like depression and dementia, are nonlinear. The psychomotor theory can shed some light on the brain-mind-body interaction in health and disease. The currently available neurochemical and genetic evidences and their correlation with life events from population based studies, may be useful in screening susceptibility to dementia and depression.

"Efficiency Models in Data Envelopment Analysis: Techniques of Evaluation of Productivity of Firms in a Growing Economy", Sengupta, J. K. and Sahoo. B. K., Palgrave Macmillan, United Kingdom, 2006
Abstract: Productivity and efficiency gains are central to the growth of firms in any industry. The industry growth depends on the markets and innovations in products and services and technology. The present volume discusses the various techniques for evaluating firm productivity and its impact on the industry evolution.
Economic analysis has been integrated here with the techniques of management science and operations research, which are called ‘data envelopment analysis’ (DEA). These techniques are useful to the managers and economic policy makers in designing optimal strategies and policies for improving productivity

"Insight into Data Mining : From Theory and Practice", Dr. Soman K.P., Shyam Diwakar, V. Ajay, Prentice-Hall of India, 2004
Data Mining is an emerging technology that has made its way into science, engineering, commerce and industry as many existing inference methods are obsolete for dealing with massive datasets that get accumulated in data warehouses. To make the theory more comprehensible to the students, many illustrations have been used, and this in turn explains how certain parameters of interest change as the algorithm proceeds

"Industrial Instrumentation", Dr.T R Padmanabhan, Springer Verlag- Berlin, 1999
Pneumatic, hydraulic and allied instrumentation schemes have given way to electronic schemes in recent years thanks to the rapid strides in electronics and allied areas. Principles, design and applications of such state-of-the-art instrumentation schemes form the subject matter of this book. Through representative examples, the basic building blocks of instrumentation schemes are identified and each of these building blocks discussed in terms of its design and interface characteristics. The common generic schemes synthesized with such building blocks are dealt with subsequently. This forms the scope of Part I. The focus in Part II is on application. Displacement and allied instrumentation, force and allied instrumentation and process instrumentation in terms of temperature, flow, pressure level and other common process variables are dealt with separately and exhaustively. Despite the diversity in the sensor principles and characteristics and the variety in the applications and their environments, it is possible judiciously to carve out broad areas of application for each type of sensor and the instrumentation built around it. The last chapter categorises instrumentation schemes according to their different levels of complexity. Specific practical examples - especially at involved complexity levels - are discussed in detail.
