Man amidst Wilderness: Representation of Virulent Nature in Amitav Ghosh's The Hungry Tide

Human beings are notorious for their vicious exploitation of nature. As civilization progressed, the abuse and misuse gradually increased. Ecocritics and environmentalists have raised their concern about immediate abstinence of these mal treatments and invoked a harmonious concord several times. But it only remained as an intermittent plea that each time got enshrouded by ravenous greed of people. Man's intrusion in forests and foliages always proved catastrophic. They destroyed the harmony and looted natural assets, flora and fauna for personal gains. Literature always presented this debauchery acutely and succeeded in raising global concern many times. It has shown how the natural lifestyle gets hampered by the most intelligent species. It has shown how man can be devoid of humanity while preying upon wild animals. It has presented the ruthless nature of man in cutting down an entire forest in the name of industrialization. But very few literary pieces have shown the resentment of nature towards this race. Amitav Ghosh's The Hungry Tide has shown the opposite tenets of human nature interface. Here humans strive every moment. Whenever they violate nature's course, it doubles the toll. This article focuses on the human expedition over nature and their consequent struggle for existence

DYNAMIC TELEMETRY WITH LATENCY AWARE NETWORK OPTIMIZATION

A Sender uses a continuous feedback loop to estimate remote processing latency. With that estimated value, the Sender continuously adapts its sending behavior to optimally send updates and reduce network consumption. Implementing this dynamic telemetry, the overall system latency is untouched and only the necessary updates are sent

USING A CLOUD-BASED ENTERPRISE NETWORK SECURITY SYSTEM TO PROVIDE DECENTRALIZED BUT UNIFIED GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION (GDPR) CONSENT MANAGEMENT

Techniques presented herein provide a decentralized, yet unified, General Data‑Protection Regulation (GDPR) consent management platform functionality that may utilize Domain Name System level (DNS-level) interposing capabilities of a cloud-based enterprise network security system to collect detailed user privacy preferences, which can be stored locally via a user\u27s browser. Thus, websites may not manage consent, but rather may simply process user requests with inline added consent parameters

A new methanol solvate and Hirshfeld analysis of π-stacking in 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexahydroxytriphenylene solvates

The structure of 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexahydroxytriphenylene (hhtp) methanol monosolvate, C18H12O6•CH3OH, has triclinic symmetry (space group P1). The compound has a threedimensional layered network structure formed by intermolecular hydrogen bonding. Structure analysis with Hirshfeld surfaces is shown to be a sensitive method for comparing π -stacking effects in the five known solvates of hhtp. The title structure shows slightly weaker π -stacking than the dihydrate, but stronger π -stacking than the other three solvates

The synthesis, structure, topology and catalytic application of a novel cubane-based copper(II) metal-organic framework derived from a flexible amido tripodal acid

A novel chiral metal-organic framework, [Cu-4(HL)(2)(H2O)(4)(MeO)(4)](n) (1), has been successfully synthesized from a tripodal flexible ligand (2S, 2'S, 2 '' S)- 2,2', 2 ''-(benzenetricarbonyltris(azanediyl)) tripropanoic acid (H3L). Compound 1 was characterized by IR and X-ray powder diffraction analysis. The structure was determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction analysis revealing that 1 possesses a 3D network, featuring a tetranuclear cubane-type secondary building block [Cu-4(MeO)(4)](4+), formed via the connection of four metal ions to four methoxide ions. These secondary building blocks are linked by four different HL2- ligands to construct a porous three dimensional framework of the dia topology with one-dimensional channels. Compound 1 also acts as a heterogeneous catalyst for the diastereoselective nitroaldol (Henry) reaction, providing high yields (up to 91%) and good diastereoselectivities under ambient conditions. This catalyst can be recycled without significant loss of activity

PROACTIVE MANAGEMENT OF CUSTOMER NETWORKS FOR STABILITY AND RELIABILITY LEVERAGING APPDY INTEGRATION INTO NETWORK SERVICE PRODUCTS

Techniques are described for leveraging the integration of the AppDynamics (AppDy) Software Development Kit (SDK) with network service products that allows for run-time retrieval of key process data on an AppDy platform. The run-time retrieval of key process data will be managed by a network service provider\u27s customer support teams, which can proactively detect customer network degradations before they have an impact on end user experience

An embedding technique to determine ττ backgrounds in proton-proton collision data

An embedding technique is presented to estimate standard model tau tau backgrounds from data with minimal simulation input. In the data, the muons are removed from reconstructed mu mu events and replaced with simulated tau leptons with the same kinematic properties. In this way, a set of hybrid events is obtained that does not rely on simulation except for the decay of the tau leptons. The challenges in describing the underlying event or the production of associated jets in the simulation are avoided. The technique described in this paper was developed for CMS. Its validation and the inherent uncertainties are also discussed. The demonstration of the performance of the technique is based on a sample of proton-proton collisions collected by CMS in 2017 at root s = 13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 41.5 fb(-1).Peer reviewe
