The article seeks to analyse the causes of low growth/failure of small-scale industries (SSI) in a poor and industrially backward state like Orissa, notwithstanding its rich mineral resource endowments and a good number of professionally qualified and well experienced people heading the SSI...

This essay contends that the economic liberalization, privatization and globalization (LPG) model of development in India is virtually depriving the tribal peopl and other agriculture dependent poor people of their traditional means of sustainable livelihood by promoting the unregulated growth...

The present work is devoted to the following question: What is the relation between the deterministic laws of dynamics and probabilistic description of physical processes?

In a previous paper, Misra, Prigogine and Courbage have shown that each Bernoulli dynamical system may be associated through positivity preserving similarity transformations to a stochastics Markov process. Here we give generalized baker transformarmations are necessarily distinct. processes...

Koopman's Lemma states that if a flow Tt is measure preserving for a measure μ on a constant energy surface Ω, then the flow generates a one parameter family of unitary operators Ut on L2 (Ω, μ). We show here a converse, namely that under certain (physically motivated) conditions a unitary...

We extend to Bernoulli systems the explicit construction (elaborated previously for the baker transformation) of non-unitary, invertible transformations Λ, which associate Markovian processes admitting an H-theorem with the unitary dynamical group, through a similarity relation. We characterize...

It is argued that a restriction of the set of observables is necessary in order to effect “reduction of the wave packet”. This restriction leads to an irreversible evolution for the system plus apparatus (S + A), a possibility which exists only when the apparatus is an infinite quantum...
