How Ending Gender Violence in India Improves the Nation\u27s International Reputation and Tourism Industry: A Case for Nationalism

As nations have become far more interconnected by means of globalization in the 21st century, the issues that affect one nation often have affects upon others. As India is a nation with a population of more than 1.2 billion, the issues that affect the nation also affect others. As an assault in Delhi, India made international news on December 16, 2012, the international community has become more aware of the incidents of gender-based violence that exist within the country. The ramifications of the international community\u27s knowledge of the assault included a drastic decrease in both its international reputation and its tourism industry. As tourism provided 6.6% of its total GDP in 2012, it is an industry that is integral to the development of the nation. In order for India to increase its reputation and its tourism industry, gender-based violence in the form of assault and trafficking must be eradicated. This thesis will discuss the roots of gender-based violence specifically in India, and a case study of India\u27s fight against colonialism will be used as an example of how a sense of nationalism was essential in meeting the goal of the nation at that time. As colonialism and gender-based violence are both \u27enemies\u27 to a nation\u27s autonomy and reputation, this thesis will analyze the fact that the nation\u27s ability to form a cohesive national identity, as it did during British rule, is essential for it to achieve its 2013 goals

Investigation of novel high T<SUB>c</SUB> superconducting oxides

Our results of microscopic and macroscopic studies of novel high Tc superconductors are discussed. They permit a straightforward comparison of the nature of the superconductivity in 40 K range (La2CuO4 type) and 90 K range (YBa2Cu3O7type) superconductors

Some applications of nuclear orientation

This thesis describes Nuclear Orientation and radiofrequency magnetic susceptibility experiments on the enhanced nuclear antiferromagnet holmium vanadate (HoVO4) from 1 K down to about 1 mK and in applied fields of up to 2.4 tesla. Adiabatic demagnetisation of single crystals of HoVO4 allowed a mean nuclear spin temperature of about 1 mK to be reached. R.f. magnetic susceptibility measurements at approximately 2.4 mK and in an applied field of about 1.5 x 10-2 T identified the spin 'flop' phase of the nuclear anti-ferromagnet HoVO4. The Néel temperature TN was determined to be 4.0 (2) mK which is in good agreement with the value of 4.8 mK calculated for the dipole-dipole interaction of the enhanced magnetic moments at the Ho site. Gamma-ray anisotropy measurements of 166mHoVO4 showed that in low applied fields (B ≮ 0.5 x 10-2 T) and temperatures of about 1 mK the antiferromagnetic domains were uniformly distributed in the a-a' plane of the tetragonal zircon crystal structure. This was interpreted in terms of pinning of the nuclei due to crystalline imperfections. The spin 'flop' phase was identified in an applied field of 1.2 x 10-2 T which is in good agreement with the susceptibility measurements. Demagnetisation experiments down to the relatively high residual fields of 4.2 x 10-2 T and 7.4 x 10-2 T and temperatures of about 2 mK showed that the effective field at the nucleus was much smaller than the applied field thus indicating that there was some antiferromagnetic ordering even at these relatively high fields. The magnetic dipole moment of 166mHo was estimated to be 3.60 (6) μN from gamma-ray anisotropy measurements of some gamma transitions of known NO parameters. This value is in good agreement with the value of 3.69μN calculated for the Nilsson configuration [6337./2]n [5237/2]p for the extra-core neutron and proton respectively. Mixing ratio (δ) measurements for gamma-ray transitions between the (Kπ = 2+) γ-vibrational and (Kπ = 0+) ground state rotational bands of the daughter nucleus 166Er showed that Ml transition probabilities are predominantly via ΔK = 1 band mixing which is in good agreement with systematics for deformed nuclei in this mass region. Nuclear refrigeration experiments on a powdered compressed HoVO4 - copper pill allowed a lattice temperature of 3.9 (3) mK to be reached. Thermal contact measurements on a similar pill showed that the effective area of contact between the salt particles and copper was only about 30 cm2 which was a small fraction of the total surface area available. Preliminary work on a HoVO4 - gold pill enabled a 60Co ̲C̲o thermometer to be cooled to 6.0 (l) mK.</p

Role of Nonplanar Peptide Unit in Regular Polypeptide Helices - New Model for Pply-Beta-Benzyl-L-Aspartate

The effect of non-planarity of the peptide unit on helical structures stabilized by intrachain hydrogen bonds is discussed. While the present calculations generally agree with those already reported in the literature for right-handed helical structures, it is found that the most stable left-handed structure is a novel helix, called the delta-helix. Its helical parameters are close to these reported for poly-beta-benzyl-L -aspartate. Conformational energy calculations show that poly-beta-benzyl-L -aspartate with the delta-helical structure is considerably more stable than the structure it is generally believed to take up (the omega-helix) by about 15 kcal/mol-residue
