Performance Comparison Of Bnp Scheduling Algorithms In Homogeneous Environment
Static Scheduling is the mapping of a program to the resources of a parallel system in order to minimize the execution time. This paper presents static scheduling algorithms that schedule an edge-weighted directed acyclic graph (DAG) to a set of homogeneous processors. The aim is to evaluate and compare the performance of different algorithms and select the best algorithm amongst them. Various BNP algorithms are analyzed and classified into four groups - Highest Level First Estimated Time (HLFET), Dynamic Level Scheduling (DLS), Modified Critical Path (MCP) and Earliest Time First (ETF). Based upon their performance considering various factors, best algorithm is determined
Gendered Social Fabric and Identity Crisis in Mahesh Dattani's Tara
The history of Indian English Drama demonstrates the presence of individual talents and sporadic theatrical activity. The roots of the theatre in Indian Society are certainly very old and deep. Although plays about women have existed since the origin of drama yet feminist drama emerged as a theatrical genre in the sixties bringing the burning issues of gender discrimination as well as the tortures inflicted on the female.

Tara is an ideal character of Mahesh Dattani which has been widely applauded by the audience and the readers alike. Dattani has tried to depict the feminine side which always has to come to terms with the society that favours only male viewpoint in a male-dominated world. The playwright is concerned not only with the issue of gender discrimination in Indian society but also with the contribution of the female to the injustice towards women. Throughout the play, Dattani shows his audience the difference between sex and gender indicating that women don't have their own status and identity in the society. The play effectively belies all the propagandas of equality between male and female

COMPARATIVE STUDY OF ORAL MINOXIDIL AND FINASTERIDE IN THE TREATMENT OF ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA: A SIX-MONTH DOUBLE-BLINDED STUDY
Androgenetic alopecia (AGA), or male pattern baldness, has a negative impact on people's quality of life. Although considerable study on the efficacy and safety of oral finasteride and oral minoxidil in treating androgenetic alopecia has not been conducted, they are both effective treatments.
Materials and methodology: In a double-blind comparison trial, 28 participants received daily oral doses of minoxidil (2.5 mg) and finasteride (1 mg) for six months. Numerous factors, including the Norwood Hamilton scale, photographic assessments, trichoscopy measurements of hair count and shaft thickness, Patient Global Assessment (PGA), and Visual Analog Scale (VAS), were considered to determine effectiveness. To monitor safety, lab investigations and the documentation of negative events were used.
Results: Both minoxidil and finasteride significantly increased hair growth and thickness. At the frontal and vertex sites, the minoxidil group showed an increase in the average hair count and improved hair shaft thickness. In comparison to minoxidil, the finasteride group demonstrated superior hair growth and greater hair counts. Finasteride had little negative side effects and no reported sexual adverse effects.
Conclusion: Over a six-month period, oral finasteride (1 mg) and oral minoxidil (2.5 mg) both showed equivalent efficacy and tolerability in the treatment of AGA. Finasteride produced superior outcomes in terms of hair growth and thickness, whereas minoxidil was well tolerated and had few side effects. People can securely select either course of treatment, guaranteeing a notable improvement in AGA patients' hair growth

Aesthetics of Poetry and Postmodernist Poets: A Review
Postmodernism is a period in which multiple modes or versions of different poetries exist and flourish. Poetry produced in the postmodern era and has an extremely solid nearness in cafes, bars, and even clubs, fundamentally outperforming its more conventional settings and areas. Poetry is becoming ever more synonymous with testing in English schools. poetry is not by learning the rules of scansion, or studying prosody and other theoretical aspects of poetry, although this is important, but by imitation. And what the poet imitates in the poets that he admires is the sound of the poetry, its rhythms, rhyme schemes, patterns, etc., not the lexical meanings of the words. Using the same words as the poets one admires would constitute plagiarism, not imitation, although one may certainly make allusions to other poems by means of what is sometimes called âpoetic licenseâ. poetry is cast as unstable and unreliable but simultaneously inescapable; language is both captor and captive .Poetry study at GCSE level could become a limited and controlled experience, restricted to the confines of the classroom and the pages of exam board anthologies. In this work, we have studied a theory of different poets in view of the aesthetic content of poetry. These poets are exceptionally dynamic and their poetries are different from the theories of art and all other poetries. The industriousness of the expository strategies of aesthetic formalism close by the more up to date scholarly apparatuses of basic hypothesis and social feedback has been examined. They are very active, leading tertulias, engaging with poetry readings and performances in literary and non-literary circles, and endorsing verse on the internet, with the result that the genre is now more open and available to the general public than ever before. For the Transcendentalists all true poets are âchildren of musicâ.
