Hindi language text search: a literature review

The literature review focuses on the major problems of Hindi text searching over the web. The review reveals the availability of a number of techniques and search engines that have been developed to facilitate Hindi text searching. Among many problems, a dominant one is when a text formed by combinatorial characters or words is searched

Theme of Alienation in John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men

Of Mice and Men (1937) is a novella written by Steinbeck. He has expressed his strong concern for the impoverished and disadvantaged, particularly migrant labourers. He depicts believable individuals in this work to show a glorious past. He has been acquainted with the poor, notably migrant agricultural laborers, both American and Mexican, since arriving in California in the 1930s, and has written from their perspective. His main purpose is to provide a genuine portrait of these people. One of Steinbeck’s most recurring themes is loneliness. Every character in Of Mice and Men, for example, is dealing with loneliness and isolation in some way; the two main characters, George and Lennie, have no families, no social circle, and no background to speak of. They've displaced ranch employees who appear out of nowhere at the start of the tale, with nowhere else to turn but each other. They currently constitute a single entity, each complementing the other. But Lennie is physically strong but intellectually frail, George is mentally strong but physically frail; Lennie is a spendthrift, whereas George is a saver. Lennie has no notion what the ramifications of his actions will be; he acts on instinct. George, on the other hand, is always trying to restrict him and giving him advice on the dos and don’ts of social interaction. Even this George and Lennie team is shattered by the novel's conclusion when George is compelled to murder Lennie to spare him from a far more terrible death. George’s loneliness and isolation must be palpable now that Lennie isn't at his side to keep him company and make him feel alive

The Struggle for the Existence in John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath

The issue of struggle for existence in John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath (1939) is examined in this research article. The struggle for existence is a universal topic that appears in Steinbeck’s writings as well. Steinbeck’s works are full of characters who struggle to make both ends meet as migrant farmers during the Great Depression. He admired those who worked hard and lived honourably. The characters were given Steinbeck’s voice and vibe. Their flaws, struggle for survival, and unwavering courage are not only theirs but also Steinbeck's. Even though the fact that he authored fiction, his characters are realistic in their portrayals of contemporary America. The Grapes of Wrath earned Steinbeck both praise and scorn. It’s based on the American Great Depression, which ran from 1929 to 1939. Many people were destroyed by the stock market fall, which resulted in widespread unemployment. The Dust Bowl of the 1930s followed. Due to a lack of rain and strong gusts, the top soil swept away. Farmers were forced to sell their lands to the banks as a result of this. The Grapes of Wrath was inspired by the migrants’ suffering and sacrifice. This single work serves as a testament to the human experience in tough times

Improvement of Synergetic Effect In Heterogeneous Catalysis By Addition Of Metal Oxides

Over the past few years, synergetic effect has great importance in the heterogeneous catalysis structure. Synergetic effect provides the importance of the activity and stability of catalysis to produce desired product by improving the defects in the solid heterogeneous catalysis. These defects occur due to imperfection of the solid crystal lattices. And these defects can be improved by the addition of various metal oxides, which finally improve the synergetic effect or the defects in the heterogeneous catalysis. The metal oxide additives were found to influence the catalytic activity in the reaction, surface composition of the catalyst and the stability of catalysts during their operation. This paper reviews and assesses the effectiveness of different metal oxides additives in the heterogeneous catalysis activity and stability i.e. by improving synergetic effect in the heterogeneous catalysis. Keywords: synergy effect, encapsulation, mimic enzyme, BET,  coprecipitation, calcination.

The perplexity of malignant ovarian mass in cystadenofibroma: a lesson learnt

The aim of this study is to report a rare case of ovarian cystadenofibroma with even scarcely observed mucinous type histopathological variant and to discuss the modalities which can contribute to prevent misdiagnosing it as a malignant tumor that may inappropriately lead to aggressive surgical interventions. A 40-year-old female presented with pain in lower abdomen and dysmenorrhea of 3 months duration and a large right adnexal mass which had all the features suggestive of malignancy in pre-operative investigations and even on gross overview and cut section. On the contrary histopathology reports confirmed its benign nature and reported it as mucinous cystadenofibroma. Role of Preoperative MRI and intraoperative frozen section cannot be overemphasized in distinguishing ovarian cystadenofibroma from malignant tumors, which can avoid an unnecessary extensive surgery
