    Literature is all that is written in broad terms. Literary that delights the learned. Science literature is literature that gives knowledge primarily to the learned Linguistic history. There is no doubt that the meaning of the word 'Aṅkatam', which means sweet taste of fig buds in certain places in the literature, is the correct technique of saying 'Aṅkatam' which is still in use from the Sangam period to the present day. First of all, in today's world, crimes and grievances are indirectly ridiculed and ridiculed without any counter-opinions. Human society may have made great strides in understanding science. Why even set foot on the moon. Yet, the basic human feeling is one that stays with the mind forever with humor. When Mahatma Gandhi spoke about such humor, he once said that if there was no humor I would have committed suicide sometime in my life. Humor occupies an important and prominent place not only in individual human life but also in the film literature of life

The purpose of this article is to explore how the status quo of love is shown in the Cactus Epic. Man is a social animal. Sociologists want to show human beings as human beings. This situation does not show human beings as human beings but as animals.  The reason for this is the changes that can take place in the context of time and the transition from the human condition to the animal. It is understood that there is no such thing as love.  If love is in the state of a man forever he will not become an animal.  Love in life is the foundation of life that carries us to the end of our lives with discipline

Marvell's genuine voice shows up in the sonnet looking like the traditionalist strict implications which contradict the indulgent themes of the sonnet confounding subject and symbolism and subverting the significant contention of the sonnet. The paper represents that Marvell wears the cover of gratification trying to attempt his hands in the indulgent subject or the contemporary carpe-diem themes which are at chances with Marvell's otherworldly perspectives. Overall, the paper plans to give a verse by-refrain investigation, trailed by a reference section which delineates some critical expressive issues which in their turn uphold the contention of the paper that a sonnet is

    DR.FAUSTUS :THEIST OR ATHEIST

    Get PDF
    Dr. Faustus is the best yet the most disputable of Marlowe's plays. Among the reasons for debate, regardless of whether Dr. Faustus is a skeptic or theist merits most extreme consideration. This paper is proposed to manage the issue. Despite the fact that at different phases of the improvement of the activity, Dr. Faustus recants Trinity, resorts to magic, gets blameworthy of demoniality, for which he is called a skeptic, the force of his later desire for having reclamation and the devastation of his self causes him to arise as a theist. Without these characteristics, Dr. Faustus is said to the exemplification of the personality of Christopher Marlowe himself, who was a skeptic or an individual from an skeptic gathering. Hence, it is likewise an object of conversation to relate Dr. Faustus with Marlowe

    The present research has been undertaken to study the spread and acceptance of TPS 5 Paddy Variety in Kanyakumari District of Tamil Nadu. Ramapuram, Andarkulam and Manavalakurchi villages of Agastheeswaram and Kurenthenkode blocks of Kanyakumari district were purposively selected based on more area under TPS 5 rice cultivation. Sixty rice growers were selected from the villages based on random sampling method. The data were collected using pre-tested interview schedule and analyzed by using appropriate statistical tools. The results revealed that most of the respondents belonged to old age and had followed agriculture as a primary occupation. Most of the respondents had high level of extension participation. The analysis of extent of adoption indicated that seventy five per cent of the respondents adopted TPS 5 variety in Kannipoo season. More than eighty per cent of the respondents had adopted recommended seed rate, age of seedling and spacing. Non availability of quality seeds and machineries in time, high weed infestation and improper usage of pre-emergence herbicide, lack of knowledge on application of recommended fertilizer and pest management practices were the major constraints encountered by the respondents

About 83.00 per cent of entrepreneurs produced coffee powder as a final form of coffee product, nearly two-third (63.00 %) of the entrepreneurs did not have any brand name or logo, cent per cent of them reported manual packing only. Major criteria to fix different price rate of coffee product were International daily market price (90.00 %), factors affecting the price policy were market price fluctuation (93.33 %), season (90.00 %) and Cent per cent of them had adopted coffee price forecasting broadcasted by various media.

    Registration of Brain Images using Fast Walsh Hadamard Transform

    Full text link
    A lot of image registration techniques have been developed with great significance for data analysis in medicine, astrophotography, satellite imaging and few other areas. This work proposes a method for medical image registration using Fast Walsh Hadamard transform. This algorithm registers images of the same or different modalities. Each image bit is lengthened in terms of Fast Walsh Hadamard basis functions. Each basis function is a notion of determining various aspects of local structure, e.g., horizontal edge, corner, etc. These coefficients are normalized and used as numerals in a chosen number system which allows one to form a unique number for each type of local structure. The experimental results show that Fast Walsh Hadamard transform accomplished better results than the conventional Walsh transform in the time domain. Also Fast Walsh Hadamard transform is more reliable in medical image registration consuming less time.Comment: 10 pages, 37 figures, 12 table
