    Sangam Literatures are the source of insights into the culture and milestones in the development of human life. In proverbial songs based on love and heroism, they compiled the best of the remaining songs that had been destroyed by the ocean, termite, and the flood, and named it Sangam literature. Sangam Tamilians lived a life of luxury by setting up separate departments of five lands Kurinji, Mullai, Marutham, Neithal and Palai lands and setting up separate flats for their inner life and heroic outer life. People who lived in each land had set up businesses and adapted their lives to suit that land. People in every land, they joined together and made their businesses better. Agriculture was the main occupation among them. In each land they adapted their way of life according to the social environment of the land. Food is the basic need for human life. They used new agriculture techniques to cultivate the land and increased productivity to fulfill their needs. They had two types of agriculture lands, wet and dry lands. Dry land agriculture was featured in Kurinji and Mullai. Wetland agriculture featured in Marutham and Neithal. Its significance is expressed in the Sangam literature songs

    Get PDF
    One of the sparkling stars in the galaxy of Indian writers, Gita Mehta is the brightest. Her novels are written with Indian perspectives and they are explorations of the tension generated by the east-west encounters. Her novel A River Sutra is a colourful fictional account of India that mirrors Indian history and culture. It connects Indian mythology with various depictions of love in its many aspects. It told through a pen-pusher and his encounter with six pilgrims on the banks of the Narmada. In Western Feminist studies, the woman is always portrayed with a quest for freedom from the urban exploitative society to nature. It is appealing to determine that this concept receives a new dimension in a different cultural context. In this novel, Mehta has shifted her focus from the interactions between India and the west to exploring the diversity of cultures within India. Gita Mehta uses the Narmada as the thread, which holds together the main story and the six sub-stories. The present paper discusses in detail the theory of eco-criticism and it aims at highlighting an understanding of various terms like green studies and nature studies, as well as describes in fair detail, the different subfields of eco-criticism, namely, Cultural ecology, Eco-feminism and Gyno-Ecology

    Data transmission in advanced space communications are suffering with the different types of noises. Further, these noises causeburst errors indata. Thus, the error correction codes (ECC) plays the major role to detect and correct the errors. However, the conventional hamming encoders, decoderswere detected and corrected only one bit error. Therefore, this work implementation the Multi-Bit Error Detection and CorrectionCodes (MBE-DCC) for multiple bits error detection and correction. Initially, MBE-DCC encoding operation is implemented by using generator matrix, which contains both identity bits and parity bits. Then, encoded code word is transmitted into the channel of space communication, where encoded data corrupted by different types of noises, errors. Therefore, the MBE-DCC decoding operation performed at receiver side of space communications, which corrected all the errors using syndrome detection, error location detection, and error correction modules.  The simulations revealed that the proposed MBE-DCC resulted in superior performance than conventional ECC method

    In this technological world the healthcare is very crucial and difficult to spend time for the wellbeing. The lifestyle disease can transform in to the life threating disease and lead to critical stages. Colorectal lymphomas are the 3rd most malignancy death in the entire world. The estimation of the volume of lymphomas is often used by Magnetic Resonance Imaging during medical diagnosis, particularly in advanced stages. The research study can be classified in multiple stages. In the initial stages, an automated method is used to calculated the volume of the colorectal lymphomas using 3D MRI images. The process begins with feature extraction using Iterative Multilinear Component Analysis and Multiscale Phase level set segmentation based on CNN model. Then, a logical frustum model is utilized for 3D simulation of colon lymphoma for rendering the medical data. The next stages is focused on tackling the matter of segmentation and classification of abnormality and normality of lymph nodes. A semi supervised fuzzy logic algorithm for clustering is used for segmentation, whereas bee herd optimization algorithm with scale down for employed to intensify corresponding classifier rate of detection. Finally, classification is performed using Deep residual Boltzmann CNN. Our proposed methodology gives a better results and diagnosis prediction for lymphomas for an accuracy 97.7%, sensitivity 95.7% and specify as 95.8% which is superior than the traditional approach

    Breast cancer treatment is being transformed by artificial intelligence (AI). Nevertheless, most scientists, engineers, and physicians aren't ready to contribute to the healthcare AI revolution. In this paper, we discuss our experiences teaching a new American student undergraduate course that seeks to train the next generation for cross-cultural design thinking, which we believe is critical for AI to realize its full potential in breast cancer treatment. The main tasks of this course are preparing, performing and translating interviews with healthcare professionals from both Portugal and the USA. Since the course is offered in Portugal as a short-term faculty-led study abroad program, students can explore the effect of culture on healthcare delivery and the design of healthcare technologies. The learning tests demonstrated student growth for breast cancer treatment in many areas important for the development of AI. In respect to understanding breast cancer care, most students had undervalued the effect of cancer and its treatment on the quality of life of women before taking this course and most were unaware of the importance of multidisciplinary care teams. Regarding AI in medical, students became more mindful of data privacy issues and the need to consider the effect of AI on healthcare professionals

    Dentinogenesis imperfecta type 1-Shield’s classification (1973): a rare case report and literature review

    Get PDF
    Dentinogenesis imperfecta (DI) is an autosomal dominant disorder that affects the dentin development. It is characterized by the presence of opalescent dentin, with dusky blue to brownish discoloration of the teeth. This condition is genetically and clinically heterogeneous; DI may affect only the teeth or it may be associated with the osteogenesis imperfect (OI). When both are associated there are various degrees of clinical presentation from mild form with less significant signs to severe form such as death in infancy. The most familiar classification system of this hereditary disorder is Shields classification which is of 3 types namely, type I, DI associated with OI, type II is not associated with OI. Type III which is also known as ‘Brandywine type’ DI.  This case report describes a rare case of 32-year-old female patient who showed the characteristic features of Shield’s classification type I with penetrance of defect through 4 generations.

    Vitamin D stands at the frontline of current scientific endeavours, being a topic of great interest to medical researchers all over the globe. Vitamin D deficiency (VDD) has been arising as a pandemic around the world. Globally about one billion people are known to have VDD and it is the most common undiagnosed medical condition Vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene is located in the chromosome12cen-q12. Taq1 gene is present in the 3’UTR (untranslated region), is a T/C nucleotide substitution (ATT/ATC) in exon IX coding for isoleucine. This could potentially influence the activity of 1, 25 dihydroxy vitamin D [1, 25(OH)2 D] by mRNA instability or by affecting the regulation of translation. From this study we conclude that the predominant VDR Taq1genotype is homozygous t
