Girish Karnad’s Tughlaq: An Exploration of Parsi Theatre on Stage

Girish Raghunath Karnad is a well-known contemporary playwright, screenwriter, translator, director and actor of Indian theatre and films. His position as an experimental playwright is as Badal Sirkar in Bengali, Vijay Tendulkar in Marathi; and Mohan Rakesh and Dharamveer Bharati in Hindi. In the early part of his life he was famous as a Kannada playwright, but with the passage of time he attained the status of a national figure in the realm of Indian theatre. He is one of those playwrights who experienced with the dramatic techniques of Parsi theatre and wrote one of his best plays Tughlaq. Karnad says that he had experienced the folk theatre (like Yakshagana) in his village by sitting with servants but with his parents he had experienced a new kind of theatre using full lights, sounds and all those modern dramatic techniques used in proscenium theatre. He says, “In my childhood, in a small town in Karnataka, I was exposed to two theatre forms that seemed to represent irreconcilably different worlds. Father took the entire family to see play staged by troupes of professional actors called natak companies which toured the countryside throughout the year. The plays were staged in semi-permanent structures on proscenium stages, with wings and drop curtains, and were illuminated by petromax lamps” (301)

An Analysis upon Organization of Some Nuclear Mappings and Quasi-Nuclear Mappings

In this paper we sum up the notable outcome which says that the arrangement of semi nuclear maps is nuclear. All the more accurately, we characterize what we call a 2-quasi?-nuclear guide between normed spaces and we say that the organization of a 2-semi ?-nuclear guide with a semi ?-nuclear guide is a pseudo-?-nuclear guide. Additionally, we say that a semi ?-nuclear guide is a 2-semi ?-nuclear guide. For a nuclear G?-space, we say that a straight guide T between normed spaces is 2-semi ?-nuclear if and only if it is semi ?-nuclear. We present new kind of maps between normed spaces to be specific, p-quasi?-nuclear guide. We say that the piece of a q-semi ?-nuclear guide (0 < q ? 1) with a p-semi ?-nuclear guide (0 < p ? 1) is a pseudo-?-nuclear guide. Additionally we say that for a nuclear G?-space a direct guide T between normed spaces isp-semi ?-nuclear iff it is q-semi ?-nuclear

Artificial Heart Neural Networks An Idea

Artificial Neural Networks Field (ANN Field) is an exciting field of research. ANN field took its inspiration from Human Brain. The heart and Brain are very important for the survival of Humans. Research Scientists published many articles by giving importance to Brain. But scientists have not yet explored much on the Heart which is another important part in addition to the Brain. The primary purpose of publishing this article is to show a path to ANN field Research Scientists by introducing the concept of Heart into Artificial Neural Networks. In this paper, we coined and defined Artificial Heart Neuron, which is the basic part of Artificial Heart Neural Networks Field (AHNN Field) in addition to Artificial Neuron. This work takes its inspiration from both Heart and Brain

LOW POWER REALIZATION OF NETWORK INTERFACE ROUTER

The focus of this Paper is the actual implementation of Network Router and verifies the functionality of the Five port router using the latest verification methodologies and Hardware Verification Languages. In the proposed design the FSM is designed with reduced number of states. Due to reduction of states the amount of time to produce the response became less obviously the frequency is improved. At the same time the memory required to design of this Router chip is also reduced. In the existed design number of LUTS are 724. In the existed design the total memory usage is 297148 kilobytes and the maximum frequency is 76.374MHz, whereas in the proposed design the number of LUTS are 240.In the proposed design, the total memory usage is 249164 kilobytes and the maximum frequency is 81.162MHz

Predictive maintenance of bearing machinery using simulation- a bibliometric study

Modelling is a way of constructing a virtual representation of software and hardware that involves a real-world device. We will discover the behaviour of the system if the software elements of this model are guided by mathematical relationships. For testing conditions that may be difficult to replicate with hardware prototypes alone, modelling and simulation are particularly useful, especially in the early phase of the design process when hardware might not be available. Model-based approach in MATLAB-Simulink can be useful for predictive maintenance of machines as it can reduce unplanned downtimes and maintenance costs when industrial equipment breaks. Through this bibliometric paper, we carefully investigated the previously done research with the help of a number of papers from the Scopus Database. An overall analysis of the papers has been carried out to identify the extent of research done in this domain and understand the nature of the research work carried out considering the evolution of various predictive maintenance strategies being developed in recent years

Carpal alignment in distal radial fractures

BACKGROUND: Carpal malalignment following the malunited distal radial fracture is described to develop as an adaptation to realign the hand to the malunion. It worsens gradually after healing of the fracture due to continued loading of the wrist. It is also reported to develop during the immobilization itself rather than after fracture healing. The present work was aimed to study the natural course and the quantitative assessment of such adaptive carpal realignment following distal radial fracture. METHODS: In a prospective study, 118 distal radial fractures treated with different modalities were followed-up with serial radiographs for a year for assessment of various radiological parameters. RESULTS: Two patterns of carpal malalignment were identified depending upon the effective radio-lunate flexion (ERLF) measured on pre-reduction radiographs. The midcarpal malalignment was seen in 98 radial fractures (83%) with the lunate following the dorsiflexed fracture fragment and a measured ERLF of less than 25°. The second pattern of radio-carpal malalignment showed the fracture fragment to dorsiflex without taking the lunate with a measured ERLF of more than 25°. The scaphoid did not follow the fracture fragment in both the patterns of malalignment. CONCLUSION: It is better to assess distal radial fractures for any wrist ligamentous injury on the post-reduction film with the restored radial anatomy than on the pre-reduction film since most carpal malalignments get corrected with the reduction of the fracture. Similar carpal malalignment reappear with the redisplacement of the fracture as seen in pre-reduction radiographs and develops during the immobilization rather than as a later compensatory mechanism for the malunion

Genomic-Assisted Enhancement in Stress Tolerance for Productivity Improvement in Sorghum

Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench], the fifth most important cereal crop in the world after wheat, rice, maize, and barley, is a multipurpose crop widely grown for food, feed, fodder, forage, and fuel, vital to the food security of many of the world’s poorest people living in fragile agroecological zones. Globally, sorghum is grown on ~42 million hectares area in ~100 countries of Africa, Asia, Oceania, and the Americas. Sorghum grain is used mostly as food (~55%), in the form of flat breads and porridges in Asia and Africa, and as feed (~33%) in the Americas. Stover of sorghum is an increasingly important source of dry season fodder for livestock, especially in South Asia. In India, area under sorghum cultivation has been drastically come down to less than one third in the last six decades but with a limited reduction in total production suggesting the high-yield potential of this crop. Sorghum productivity is far lower compared to its genetic potential owing to a limited exploitation of genetic and genomic resources developed in the recent past. Sorghum production is challenged by various abiotic and biotic stresses leading to a significant reduction in yield. Advances in modern genetics and genomics resources and tools could potentially help to further strengthen sorghum production by accelerating the rate of genetic gains and expediting the breeding cycle to develop cultivars with enhanced yield stability under stress. This chapter reviews the advances made in generating the genetic and genomics resources in sorghum and their interventions in improving the yield stability under abiotic and biotic stresses to improve the productivity of this climate-smart cereal
