| Abstract | The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is the oldest electromagnetic radiation to reach the earth. Measurements of this radiation play a central role in modern Cosmology. In this presentation, I will describe the information that can be obtained from measurements of the CMB. The importance of these measurements is such that there have been two rounds of Nobel Prizes. The field has been advanced by small ground- and balloon-based measurements followed by space missions including COBE and WMAP. The Planck mission will be launched next year. A new generation of ground-based observations is now beginning, which may lead to yet another space mission. The requirements for such measurements have strongly driven the development of direct detection systems at millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths. The physical and practical issues that generally favor the use of coherent receivers (now based on HEMT amplifiers) at frequencies below -90 GHz and bolometric detectors at higher frequencies will be discussed. The development of this field will be illustrated by describing generic types of technology developments and of experiments. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
