Perspectives on Thematic Concerns in Girish Karnad’s Yayati

Girish Raghunath Karnad is the most influential playwright of present times, who deals history and folktales in his plays to express the Indian tradition for the themes and techniques. Karnad has been awarded with the Padma Bhushan and was honored the prestigious Jnapith Award. His plays were originally written in Kannada and later on were translated into several other languages. Yayati, which was first written in Kannada in 1961, it was also the first dramatic work by Karnad and later was translated the dramatist himself into English. Karnad has extracted history and traditional elements from the Mahabharata to reveal the inanity of human life with all its essential attachment and to highlight contemporary social issues in the Post-Independence literature. The research paper contains view on thematic concerns in Girish Karnad’s Yayati. While doing so, my attempt would also be focused on contemporary social issues in the post-colonial scenario of the Indian society in the modern context

Improved Bounds for Radio k

A number of graph coloring problems have their roots in a communication problem known as the channel assignment problem. The channel assignment problem is the problem of assigning channels (nonnegative integers) to the stations in an optimal way such that interference is avoided as reported by Hale (2005). Radio k-coloring of a graph is a special type of channel assignment problem. Kchikech et al. (2005) have given a lower and an upper bound for radio k-chromatic number of hypercube Qn, and an improvement of their lower bound was obtained by Kola and Panigrahi (2010). In this paper, we further improve Kola et al.'s lower bound as well as Kchikeck et al.'s upper bound. Also, our bounds agree for nearly antipodal number of Qn when n≡2 (mod 4)

FORMULATION AND EVALUATION OF FAST DISSOLVING TABLETS OF RANITIDINE HYDROCHLORIDE BY HOLE TECHNOLOGY

Attempts were made to prepare ranitidine fast dissolving tablets by Novel Hole technology. When these fast dissolving tablets contact with gastro intestinal fluids, the fluid will enters the hole present in the tablet and immediate breaking of the tablet is going to takes place. This fast disintegration of tablets is also influenced by the formation of new absolute area. The prepared FDTs were subjected to various pre and post formulation studies. Its disintegration and dissolution rates were compared with the control formulation (without hole).In-vitro drug release of FDTs (DH6) showed almost 100.92percent of the drug was released at 6th minute, whereas the control formulation D12, shows the 99percent drug release at 20th minute. Overall, this technique is novel and most useful for formulation into fast dissolving tablets.Key words: Novel Fast Dissolving Tablets, Ranitidine, Hole technolog

Stand-Alone Wind Power Generation using Adaline Based Integrated Electronic Load Controller

Wind power is clean, economical and environmentally friendly. It is promising alternative electric power generation source at the time of unavailability of fossil fuel and reduces concern over the harmful effects of climate change due to excessive pollution caused by use of fossil fuels. This paper proposes the adaptive linear element (adaline) algorithm based integrated electronic load controller for an isolated windturbine-driven power generation. The adaline extracts the fundamental component of load current to control the voltage and frequency of generator with balancing loads in an integrated manner. The IELC is realized using zigzag/three single-phase transformers and a six-leg insulated-gate bipolar-transistor-based current controlled voltage-source converter, a chopper switch, and an auxiliary load on its dc bus. The generating system is modeled and simulated in MATLAB environment using Simulink and Simpower System toolboxes.

Hierarchical Deep Learning Architecture For 10K Objects Classification

Evolution of visual object recognition architectures based on Convolutional Neural Networks & Convolutional Deep Belief Networks paradigms has revolutionized artificial Vision Science. These architectures extract & learn the real world hierarchical visual features utilizing supervised & unsupervised learning approaches respectively. Both the approaches yet cannot scale up realistically to provide recognition for a very large number of objects as high as 10K. We propose a two level hierarchical deep learning architecture inspired by divide & conquer principle that decomposes the large scale recognition architecture into root & leaf level model architectures. Each of the root & leaf level models is trained exclusively to provide superior results than possible by any 1-level deep learning architecture prevalent today. The proposed architecture classifies objects in two steps. In the first step the root level model classifies the object in a high level category. In the second step, the leaf level recognition model for the recognized high level category is selected among all the leaf models. This leaf level model is presented with the same input object image which classifies it in a specific category. Also we propose a blend of leaf level models trained with either supervised or unsupervised learning approaches. Unsupervised learning is suitable whenever labelled data is scarce for the specific leaf level models. Currently the training of leaf level models is in progress; where we have trained 25 out of the total 47 leaf level models as of now. We have trained the leaf models with the best case top-5 error rate of 3.2% on the validation data set for the particular leaf models. Also we demonstrate that the validation error of the leaf level models saturates towards the above mentioned accuracy as the number of epochs are increased to more than sixty.Comment: As appeared in proceedings for CS & IT 2015 - Second International Conference on Computer Science & Engineering (CSEN 2015

Effects of Variable Electrical Conductivity Levels in Hydroponic Nutrient Solutions on Morphological and Physiochemical Characteristics of Cucumber Plants in Advanced Greenhouse Cultivation

Cucumber (Cucumus sativus L.) is a fruit of the Cucurbitaceae family that is refreshing, low in calories, and offers various health benefits due to its rich nutritional profile. However, high-tech hydroponic greenhouse production of cucumber is nutrient-intensive and requires efficient management of electrical conductivity (EC) in the growing medium. In this study, three different EC levels (1.3, 2.6, and 3.6 dS/m) were applied to the nutrient medium of hydroponically grown Lebanese and Continental varieties of cucumber. The experiment did not have a significant impact on the number of fruits (p=0.744, p=0.163) or leaves per plant (p=0.252, p=0.377) at varying EC levels. However, in the Continental variety, pH (0.001***) and osmolality (0.005**) were significantly different among the three varied EC levels. High EC levels in the nutrient medium resulted in reduced TSS, pH, and osmolality of the fruit juice. Although the plants grown in low EC conditions produced almost the same number of fruits and leaves per plant as those grown in optimal EC conditions (2.6 dS/m), the physio-chemical attributes of the cucumbers were of inferior quality
