Shakespeare on Indian Stage

It is unanimously acknowledged that the entire world has become Shakespeare’s stage as his plays are performed all over the world on several occasions. Shakespeare is called a great borrower who took material from different sources and served old wine with new flavor and taste. Now that borrower has become a great lender to the world as his plays can be well appropriated in any language and on any stage. Even after more than 450 years of Shakespeare’s demise, his plays have not lost their recreational value. It is well recognized that Shakespeare has become a brand for the world of performance and entertainment. His plays continue to have the same appeal to the audience in present time as they had on the Elizabethan stage. Shakespeare’s plays were performed on the Indian stage with the arrival of Britishers but very soon he made his permanent abode in the heart of Indians as his plays are successfully performed on different regional stages after many years of the Britishers departure. As India is a vast country with different regional languages and cultures so it is hard to assess all the regional performances of Shakespeare in India. It will need a joint effort of many scholars to provide a full record of all these performances. In my research paper I have tried to present a record of Shakespeare’s performances on three significant stages-   Bengali, Parsi and Madras

Intrauterine retention of fetal bones, a cause for secondary infertility

Secondary infertility due to retained products of conception in the form of fetal bones is a rare entity. It is usually associated with a history of abortion, either spontaneous or induced. The bony fragments probably act as an intrauterine contraceptive device to stimulate the secretion of endometrial prostaglandins, resulting in secondary infertility. The common symptoms include menstrual disturbances, pelvic pain, dyspareunia, vaginal discharge, spontaneous passage of fetal bones and infertility. Advanced diagnostic technique like hysteroscopy has helped in the diagnosis

Deep Learning-Based Video Compression for Surveillance Footage

The utilization of closed-circuit television (CCTV) monitoring plays a pivotal role in the realm of video processing, providing an effective means for vigilant surveillance. However, a significant challenge associated with this practice is the substantial demand it places on storage space. Traditionally, surveillance footage is stored on hard disk drives, and due to limited storage capacities, it often necessitates periodic deletion. To tackle this issue, we have introduced an innovative method for compressing CCTV video, named “Detection-Based video Compression” (DBVC). Our DBVC model is a two-step process. In the first step, we employ advanced neural network approaches such as Mask-RCNN and YOLOv4 to determine active and idle frames within the surveillance video. These cutting-edge techniques enable precise identification of objects and events of interest in the video feed. In the second step, we construct a new video composed solely of the active frames, eliminating redundant or uneventful segments. After conducting a comprehensive analysis of the experimental results, it is evident that Mask-RCNN stands out with an impressive detection accuracy of 98% on the COCO dataset, making it a robust choice for identifying objects and events in the surveillance footage. Consequently, we chose to leverage the output generated by Mask-RCNN and YOLOv4 for subsequent processing stages. Our DBVC approach is a breakthrough in video compression technology, significantly reducing the storage space required for CCTV footage. In fact, it achieves an average compression ratio of up to 85% when using YOLOv4, surpassing the capabilities of existing state-of-the-art compression methods. This innovation not only optimizes storage efficiency but also maintains a high level of surveillance data integrity, making it a valuable advancement in the field of CCTV video processing and storage management

Cervical Pap smear study and detection of abnormal epithelial lesions and determination of its accuracy by cytohistological correlation in patients of tertiary care teaching hospital in central India

Background: Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in females and is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Pap smear is simple, cost effective and sensitive tool for screening of various non-neoplastic and neoplastic lesions of cervix. The objective of this study was to determine the pattern of various cervical smear abnormalities in our center, to study the prevalence of epithelial cell abnormalities in our study population and to determine the accuracy of Pap test by correlating with histopathology.Methods: This was a retrospective study of 7127 cervical pap smears screened and reported at department of pathology, Sri Aurobindo institute of medical sciences Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India during the period of January 2013 to December 2015. Pap smear was done by the conventional method and reporting was done based on the Bethesda system .Emphasis was put on epithelial cell abnormalities and the findings of abnormal epithelial lesions were correlated with histopathology.Results: In this study, the epithelial cell abnormalities constituted 2% of all cases. Low grade squamous intraepithelial lesion was the most common epithelial cell abnormality found in our study group followed by HSIL and then squamous cell carcinoma. About two thirds of the abnormal epithelial lesions were found in the age group above 40 years. Our cytological diagnosis correlated well with histopathology.Conclusions: Pap smear is a cost effective and sensitive screening method for detection of cancerous, pre-cancerous and non-cancerous lesions of cervix

Physician Detection of Clinical Harm in Machine Translation: Quality Estimation Aids in Reliance and Backtranslation Identifies Critical Errors

A major challenge in the practical use of Machine Translation (MT) is that users lack guidance to make informed decisions about when to rely on outputs. Progress in quality estimation research provides techniques to automatically assess MT quality, but these techniques have primarily been evaluated in vitro by comparison against human judgments outside of a specific context of use. This paper evaluates quality estimation feedback in vivo with a human study simulating decision-making in high-stakes medical settings. Using Emergency Department discharge instructions, we study how interventions based on quality estimation versus backtranslation assist physicians in deciding whether to show MT outputs to a patient. We find that quality estimation improves appropriate reliance on MT, but backtranslation helps physicians detect more clinically harmful errors that QE alone often misses.Comment: EMNLP 202

Resonance vector mode locking

A mode locked fibre laser as a source of ultra-stable pulse train has revolutionised a wide range of fundamental and applied research areas by offering high peak powers, high repetition rates, femtosecond range pulse widths and a narrow linewidth. However, further progress in linewidth narrowing seems to be limited by the complexity of the carrier-envelope phase control. Here for the first time we demonstrate experimentally and theoretically a new mechanism of resonance vector self-mode locking where tuning in-cavity birefringence leads to excitation of the longitudinal modes sidebands accompanied by the resonance phase locking of sidebands with the adjacent longitudinal modes. An additional resonance with acoustic phonons provides the repetition rate tunability and linewidth narrowing down to Hz range that drastically reduces the complexity of the carrier-envelope phase control and so will open the way to advance lasers in the context of applications in metrology, spectroscopy, microwave photonics, astronomy, and telecommunications

Measurement of quarkonium production at forward rapidity in pp collisions at √s=7 TeV

The inclusive production cross sections at forward rapidity of J/ψ , ψ(2S) , Υ (1S) and Υ (2S) are measured in pp collisions at s√=7 TeV with the ALICE detector at the LHC. The analysis is based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.35 pb‾¹ . Quarkonia are reconstructed in the dimuon-decay channel and the signal yields are evaluated by fitting the μ+μ− invariant mass distributions. The differential production cross sections are measured as a function of the transverse momentum pT and rapidity y , over the ranges 0<pT<20 GeV/c for J/ψ , 0<pT<12 GeV/c for all other resonances and for \(2.5 . The measured cross sections integrated over pT and y , and assuming unpolarized quarkonia, are: σJ/ψ=6.69±0.04±0.63 μ b, σψ(2S)=1.13±0.07±0.19 μ b, σΥ(1S)=54.2±5.0±6.7 nb and σΥ(2S)=18.4±3.7±2.9 nb, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second one is systematic. The results are compared to measurements performed by other LHC experiments and to theoretical models

Event-by-event mean pT fluctuations in pp and Pb–Pb collisions at the LHC

Event-by-event fluctuations of the mean transverse momentum of charged particles produced in pp collisions at TeX TeX 0.9, 2.76 and 7 TeV, and Pb–Pb collisions at TeX TeX 2.76 TeV are studied as a function of the charged-particle multiplicity using the ALICE detector at the LHC. Dynamical fluctuations indicative of correlated particle emission are observed in all systems. The results in pp collisions show little dependence on collision energy. The Monte Carlo event generators PYTHIA and PHOJET are in qualitative agreement with the data. Peripheral Pb–Pb data exhibit a similar multiplicity dependence as that observed in pp. In central Pb–Pb, the results deviate from this trend, featuring a significant reduction of the fluctuation strength. The results in Pb–Pb are in qualitative agreement with previous measurements in Au–Au at lower collision energies and with expectations from models that incorporate collective phenomena
