K.G.F vs K.G.F: Why Chapter 1 is better than Chapter 2


Book Description

K.G.F Chapter 1 felt like an infinitely superior film than K.G.F Chapter 2. That's a preposterous claim to make in the backdrop of the stupendous success of K.G.F Chapter 2 at the box office. However, being the biggest fan of K.G.F Chapter 1, the author Kartik Dayanand Boddapati is very certain that Chapter 1 is the better film. In this short book he provides the logic behind that thinking. This is done by examining the core strengths of Chapter 1 and contrasting that with the storytelling approach of Chapter 2. This is only an attempt to showcase how high the bar has been set with Chapter 1 and how Chapter 2 reaps the benefits of being the sequel despite deviating from the storytelling approach of the original. This short take also provides an answer to the complaint that many had about not being able to emotionally connect to the characters this time. The basics are all covered here; so dive right in for what will hopefully be an engaging read if you are a true fan of this franchise.

Design and Analysis of Experiments


Book Description

Design and Analysis of Experiments provides a rigorous introduction to product and process design improvement through quality and performance optimization. Clear demonstration of widely practiced techniques and procedures allows readers to master fundamental concepts, develop design and analysis skills, and use experimental models and results in real-world applications. Detailed coverage of factorial and fractional factorial design, response surface techniques, regression analysis, biochemistry and biotechnology, single factor experiments, and other critical topics offer highly-relevant guidance through the complexities of the field. Stressing the importance of both conceptual knowledge and practical skills, this text adopts a balanced approach to theory and application. Extensive discussion of modern software tools integrate data from real-world studies, while examples illustrate the efficacy of designed experiments across industry lines, from service and transactional organizations to heavy industry and biotechnology. Broad in scope yet deep in detail, this text is both an essential student resource and an invaluable reference for professionals in engineering, science, manufacturing, statistics, and business management.




Structural Dynamics and Probabilistic Analysis for Engineers


Book Description

Probabilistic structural dynamics offers unparalleled tools for analyzing uncertainties in structural design. Once avoided because it is mathematically rigorous, this technique has recently remerged with the aide of computer software. Written by an author/educator with 40 years of experience in structural design, this user friendly manual integrates theories, formulas and mathematical models to produce a guide that will allow professionals to quickly grasp concepts and start solving problems. In this book, the author uses simple examples that provide templates for creating of more robust case studies later in the book.*Problems are presented in an easy to understand form *Practical guide to software programs to solve design problems *Packed with examples and case studies of actual projects *Classical and the new stochastic factors of safety







Human Motor Actions


Book Description

Under the title The Coordination and Regulation of Movements, an English language version of six of the most important papers of the Russian physiologist Nicholas Bernstein was published in 1967 (Pergamon Press Ltd.). That work has been out of print for some years, but in view of the frequency of its citation in recent works on movement control, a republication was considered desirable. However, since some of the papers in the first edition were written in the 1930's, it was felt that readers' interests would be better served if, after each chapter, an evaluation of the work and, where necessary, an update of the data in the light of more recent findings was included. Contributors of international renown provide such chapters.




The Molecular and Cellular Biology of Wound Repair


Book Description

'Provides comprehensive detail on the various aspects of particular molecules involved in the phases of injury and repair and the cellular movements and processes....This is an excellent reference book for libraries serving biology and health science clientele and for workers in this field of research.' -American Scientist, from a review of the First Edition All chapters of this second edition have been completely revised and expanded-especially the chapters on growth factors and extracellular matrix molecules. New chapters discuss provisional matrix proteins, extracellular matrix receptors, and scarring versus nonscarring wound healing.
