Interval Semirings

This book has seven chapters. In chapter one we give the basics needed to make this book a self contained one. Chapter two introduces the notion of interval semigroups and interval semifields and are algebraically analysed. Chapter three introduces special types of interval semirings like matrix interval semirings and interval polynomial semirings. Chapter four for the first time introduces the notion of group interval semirings, semigroup interval semirings, loop interval semirings and groupoid interval semirings and these structures are studied. Interval neutrosophic semirings are introduced in chapter five. Applications of these structures are given in chapter six. The final chapter suggests around 120 problems for the reader.Comment: 155 pages; Published by Kappa & Omega in 201

Advance Drying Technology for Heat Sensitive Products

This book presents the advance drying technology for heat sensitive products cited from international journals, handbooks, and current research of authors. In the first edition, the printing and publication was funded Diponegoro University. In this second edition, the publication was supported from Directory of Higher Education under competitive research grant. The topic discusses the current drying technology for heat sensitive product, challenges, development and application in accordance with high quality product as well as efficient energy usage. Unlike first edition, this book observes and evaluates several food products drying under air dehumidification. The conceptual process has been also submitted to Indonesian Patent 2014. In the first edition, the book consisted of 7 chapters. Whereas, in this second edition, the book was extended up to 10 chapters completed with application of air dehumidification for food drying. Chapter 1 discusses about the challenge and progress on drying technology development. Chapter 2 describes the application and research of vacuum and freezes dryer. It is followed by the concept of air dehumidified by zeolite for efficient drying, depicted in Chapter 3. Chapter 4 evaluates the conventional condenser and adsorption dryer for low temperature drying. Chapter 5 is an overview of microwave and radio frequency dryer. After that, Chapter 6 presents the types of dryers applied in industries involving tray, spray, fluidized, moving bed, and drum dryer. Chapter 7 evaluates the future possible development for innovative dryer namely adsorption dryer with zeolite for industry. Chapters 8, 9 and 10 present the application of air dehumidification for agriculture and food drying. These chapters are results of the research conducted during 2012 – 2014

[Review of] Cora Govers and Hans Vermeulen, eds. The Politics of Ethnic Consciousness

Govers and Vermeulen\u27s book seems to be a timely one, considering the resurgence of inter-ethnic strife that is causing so much misery in many parts of the world, especially since the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the cold war. The book, however, is not an expose on the politics of ethnic consciousness. Rather, it is a collection of case studies that address certain aspects of ethnic consciousness. Govers and Vermeulen provide the theoretical context for these studies in the introductory first chapter of the book. Indeed, the book can be usefully divided into two main parts, with the first chapter constituting one part and the rest of the chapters constituting the other
