Basic Mathematical Genetics 3. Markov Models in Genetics 4.

Models in Epidemics. This book is an introduction to applications of the theory of stochastic processes -- more specifically Markov chain theory -- in population dynamics, genetics and epidemics.

A prior exposure to basic probability theory should be helpful, but by no means essential. The book includes a quick review of probability that starts from elementary combinatorial probability and ends with some basic properties of diffusions, including along the way, a fairly extensive account of martingales and Markov chains, mostly with proofs.

This is done fairly rigorously without using measure theoretic tools. In continuation of the effort to keep the prerequisites at the bare minimum, all the basic genetics the reader needs to know is included.

Yet, sophisticated material on Wright-Fisher and Moran models of genetics including diffusion approximations is presented. The material on epidemic models includes several important (less)

Discourse analysis (DA), or discourse studies, is a general term for a number of approaches to analyzing written, spoken or signed language use. It is the branch of linguistics that deals with the study and application of approaches to analyse written, spoken or signed language.

In this book all elements of linguistics relations with discourse analysis are dealt with very objectively. The original aim in undertaking this book was to provide a characterization of a specified area of scientific English which would serve as a basis for the preparation of teaching materials for people learning English as a service (less)

"The present treatise is a continuation of cultural mapping of India in N.K.

Bose's line in the field of folktales for a limited area, viz., Northeast India.

The mapping has been done from three aspects: complete tales, motifs and non motif features. The study is a novel attempt in both the global and Indian contexts of anthropology and folklore/folkloristics.

Its novelty in anthropology, both in the global and Indian contexts, lies in its using folktale motifs for cultural mapping. Its novelty in the global context of folkloristics involves several points: first, it is the first time attempt to prepare maps for a tract of land with respect to motifs; second, it is furnished with a table that (less)

In the beginning, the terms of the Hindu grammarians were uncouthly fitted in the western grammatical scheme, which were later on gradually given up. After several stages of simplification, the Sanskrit grammar has now been reduced to the actual requirement of the classical texts.

Macdonell's or Stenzler's revised grammars perhaps represent the points of culmination. But these scholars had in their mind only the western students who had studied Greek and Latin before taking up Sanskrit.

Therefore mule hate hatam sarvam may be the first exercise in a western Sanskrit Grammar, but an Indian teacher may be puzzled when asked to explain this sentence to his students in the first lesson. Therefore, we (less)

The rise of private power may be the most important and least understood trend of our time. David Rothkopf provides a fresh, timely look at how we have reached a point where thousands of companies have greater power than all but a handful of states.

Beginning with the story of an inquisitive Swedish goat wandering off from his master and inadvertently triggering the birth of the oldest company still in existence, Power, Inc. follows the rise and fall of kings and empires, the making of great fortunes, and the chaos of bloody revolutions.

A fast-paced tale in which champions of liberty are revealed to be paid pamphleteers of moneyed interests and greedy scoundrels trigger changes that lift billions from deprivation, Power, Inc. traces the bruising jockeying for influence right up to today's financial crises, growing inequality, broken international (less)
