It is shown that such notions as the “dark matter”, the “vacuum energy”, which are sometimes used to explain some disputable phenomena, especially in engineering, can also be explained in terms of the newtonian mechanics
Productivity refers to the physical relation between the quality produced (output) and the quantity of resource used in the course of production (input). Productivity is a relative term indicating the ratio between total output and the total inputs used therein on the other hand production is an absolute concept, which refers to the volume of output. Fuzzy Supervised Neural Network Training Algorithm has been designed and implemented with Matrix Laboratory (MATLAB) and Hypertext Preprocessor as the simulation language. This paper demonstrates the practical application of soft computing algorithm techniques in various well-meaning organizations.
The impact of the staging environment on effectiveness of communication between the performer and the audience has remained contentious. The objective of this paper is to determine the effectiveness of plays about the Yorubas as presented elsewhere in the western world in projecting the Yoruba race. The paper is theoretically grounded on Richard Schechner’s Performance theories and used the documentary approach to sociology of drama to contentanalyze two selected performances in Europe and America. Findings showed that plays with Yoruba socio-cultural background face challenges when being staged in Western world because of its length, cast strength and staging condition which lower their aesthetic values and affect audience interpretation. The paper concluded that utilizing African theatre presentation style could be effective when performing in a foreign land. It therefore recommended its adoption and that cultural promoters should be conversant with the peculiarities of productions that projects Yoruba socio-cultural world-view.
This paper examines the appropriation of the aesthetics of stage lighting as an agency of narratology and communication in theatre. As a communicative art, theatre thrives fundamentally on verbal and none verbal communication. It speaks in many possible ways. But most people hold the wrong notion that the centre of communication in drama and theatre is the written word. Technical inputs such as scenographic art, costume and make up, stage lighting and sound are theatrical elements seen by most people within and outside the school of theatre as decorative arts that only assist to dramatise a play without significance given to them as forms of expression. This paper argues that all other departments and compartments of the theatre are directly involved in the language system of the theatre; the written and spoken words do not stand apart. This implies strongly that theatrical communication is a collective communication of words and para-verbal and non word communication arts. It is against this setting that the paper attempts to explore the aesthetics of light as a language of communication in the stage realisation of democracy in Ben Binebai’s Drama, If Not… A Play of the Gods by the final year students of the Department of Theatre Arts, Niger Delta University. The paper concludes that stage lighting is an effective aesthetic power that clearly unfolds the deeper, meanings, intention, mood and temperament of an organized spectacle on the legitimate space.
Tea plantation industry in India was originally initiated and developed by British enterprises. The management of the estates of various Sterling and British Rupee Public Limited tea companies were vested on the British Managing Agency Houses of Calcutta. They played an important role in converting either a personal lease or proprietary estate into a public limited company. In the tea plantations, the major collieries – commanding greater capital and larger mining rights – were joint – stock firms and 89 per cent of these were controlled by Europeans, mostly British, managing agencies. With the impact of 1930’s World – wide economic depression, the colonial firms fell from grace and made a hasty retreat from India. In this juncture, the European tea Companies were also affected by some acts which were implemented after the independence of India such as Minimum Wages Act (1947), Factory Act (1948), Plantation Labour Act (1951). This grave situation compelled the European planters to think whether they would retain their business in India or not? As a result the European tea companies began to shift their business in South Africa, Uganda, and Rhodesia after selling their gardens to the native Indians. Thus an attempt have been made here to draw a pen – picture on the decline of European entrepreneurship of the tea plantation industry in the tea growing areas of Bengal such as Jalpaiguri and Darjeeling districts.
Stress is the body’s automatic response to any physical or mental demand placed on it. It is subjective and unpleasant felling of distress. Every one of us irrespective of our age, sex, education, occupation, socio-economic status, whether live in rural or urban area face stress.Stress effect body, mind, behavior in many ways and everyone experiences stress differently. It adversely effect a wide range of health condition and yoga is the most comprehensive approach to fighting stress. When we are in stress our nervous system respond by releasing a flood of stress hormone. This hormone stimulates the body for emergency action by “fight-flight or freeze” reaction also known as stress response. The agent which causes stress is known as ‘stressors’. Stress causes many harmful effect on the body such as , Physical impact - Weight gain/loss, Unexpected hair loss, Heart palpitations, High blood pressure, Digestive symptoms (such as dryness of mouth, flatulence, nausea, butterfly stomach)etc. Emotional negative effect includes Mood swing, Anxiety, Can lead to depression & unhealthy coping strategies (i.e. alcohol, drugs).
As Buddha rightly announced, all sentient beings are engulfed in the vast ocean of pain worldwide.Strangely, however, no one in world history seems to have squarely stared at pain and deeply meditated on pain itself so important, so essential to living, and so internally ubiquitous.This essay attempts to probe pain, to harvest two surprises so incredible radically negative and radically positive. First, one, I find pain as mine yet not mine so unbearable that I have to wail it out, writ precise and clear on paper to stare at, as I hug my toothache or my heartache, showing my pain to my pals.Then, two, I am astounded to find my pain thus confessed on paper exercises prudence I have found in life, to spread in my life, and to share with my friends socially into cosmopolitanism heartfelt.Thus, three, after a brief comparison of joy with pain, pain is seen as worthy of being praised as an unbearable dynamo of cosmic concord in human greatness.
The Isomorphic Shell Model is applied to the first three neutron shells in searching for possible stability there It has been found that the even neutron nuclei 4n – 16n show possible stability, some of which exhibit stable excited states as well.
The objective of the proposal is to analyze the user search goals for a query which can be very useful in improving search engine relevance and user experience. Although the research on inferring user goals or intents for text search has received much attention, little has been proposed for image search with visual information. In this project, we propose a novel approach to capture user search goals in image search by exploring images which are extracted by mining single sessions in user click-through logs to reflect user information needs. Moreover, we also propose a novel evaluation criterion to determine the number of user search goals for a query. Modified re-ranking and semantic similarity algorithm are part of this proposal. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
Gene prediction involves protein coding and promoter predictions. There is a need of integrated algorithms which can predict both these regions at a faster rate. Till date, we have individual algorithms for addressing these problems. We have developed a novel classifier IN-AIS-MACA, which can predict both these regions in genomic DNA sequences of length 252bp with 93.5% accuracy and total prediction time of 1031ms. This classifier will certainly create intuition to develop more classifiers like this.
