R. K. Narayan has emerged as a complex writer whose limpid novels reveal unsuspected depths. He has consciously attempted to naturalize or Indianize the Western novel by transporting the traditions of linear narration, Victorian realism and the modernist psychological multi-text upon the circular and digressive structure, and the symbolical and ethical framework, of the ancient Hindu narratives. This fabular quality in Narayan’s fiction confers universality and depth and extends the...

This paper investigates the computational analysis of unsteady flow of blood and heat transfer through a stenosed artery in a third grade fluid model with slip conditions. Incorporated into the model is an externally applied magnetic field. The solutions of the unsteady non-linear dimensionless momentum and energy equations are obtained using Galerkin’s weighted residual and Fourth order Runge-Kutta methods. Effects of slip velocity, magnetic field, shear thinning, shear thickening and other...

Haňt’a, the narrator of Czech writer Bohumil Hrabal’s novella, Too Loud a Solitude (1976), often reflects on the duality of permanence and intangibility of ideas. This paper attempts to explore how the author resolves the tension between this duality through an understanding of the intermittency between progression and regression. First published in 1976 and translated in English by Michael Henry Heim, the short novel relates the story of an eclectic and dim-witted old man, Haňt’a, who...

In order to carry out an assessment of a student learning outcome, ABET demands that this assessment must be measurable. Thus a need arises to find the rubric score for every question or sub-question that is related to a specific ABET student learning outcome.

Jacob Bernoulli is a very well-known Swiss Mathematician. Around 328 years ago, Jacob Bernoulli worked out on the game of chances (from 1684 to 1689) which forms the background of the theory of probability. His book ‘Ars Conjectandi’ was published by his nephew, another great Mathematician Nicolaus I Bernoulli and brother Johann Bernoulli in 1713. The aim of this article is too high light Jacob Bernoulli’s initial contributions to the theory of probability and Law of Large Numbers.

This paper deals with the design and fabrication of basic Linear Induction Motor (LIM), suitable for Traction application. The different concepts of the motor that are in common with other rotating machines, are identified and studied. An Aluminum sheet lay over iron core, acts as the rotor and the stator is designed for Double Layer winding, having 2 poles. The use of Linear Induction Motors (LIM) ranges from slow moving sliding doors to high speed trains across the globe.
Topics: Linear Induction Motor (LIM), Traction, Design of Stator, Design of Rotor, Design of Windings.
The use of Internet of Things (IoT) devices besides gaining popularity in our daily lives, are gaining speedy entry into the healthcare arena and are being appropriately termed as Internet of Healthcare Things IoHT). Most of these devices are wearable and allow continuous monitoring of physiological functions without manual intervention. Some of these are catalyzing remote healthcare, such as Telehealth and eHeath. However, their use in healthcare poses a special challenge due to accuracy and...

Autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) approach has been applied for modeling and forecasting of rice production of India. Autocorrelation function (ACF) and partial autocorrelation function (PACF) functions were estimated, which led to the identification and construction of ARIMA models, for explaining the time series and forecasting the future production. A significant increasing linear trend in the total rice production in India has been found. The best identified model for the...

Handwriting Analysis or Graphology is a study of the physical traits and patterns of handwriting, implying the psychological state of the writer at the time of writing. Handwriting is the reflection of each individual’s personality.       The writer leaves their identity in the subtle characters of their writing. Handwriting Analysts study the handwriting and predict the behavior of a person based on their skills. To make this more accurate, proposed methodology focuses on computer...

This paper investigates the computational analysis of unsteady flow of blood and heat transfer through a stenosed artery in a third grade fluid model with slip conditions. Incorporated into the model is an externally applied magnetic field. The solutions of the unsteady non-linear dimensionless momentum and energy equations are obtained using Galerkin’s weighted residual and Fourth order Runge-Kutta methods. Effects of slip velocity, magnetic field, shear thinning, shear thickening and other...

A substantial growth in the consumption of plastic is observed all over the world in recent years that has led to dumping of huge quantities of plastic related wastes. This is an environmental issue as waste plastic bottles are difficult to biodegrade and involves processes either to recycle or reuse. Recycling of plastic waste to produce construction material like concrete appears as one of the best solutions for the disposal of plastic waste. This project deals with the possibility of using...

This paper analyses four poems, which portray violence against women resulting from patriarchy. These poems are The Ring and the Book, “My Last Duchess”, “Porphyria, s Lover”, and “The Laboratory”. Using the liberal feminist and psychological theories the paper argues that while women fight to challenge tradition and convention put by men / patriarchy to impede their freedom, men on their part, are bent on maintaining this tradition and convention put in place by patriarchy, a...

The selection process of recruitment in any post poses two types of problems for an authority. The first problem is related to both the online or offline exam process, in which two or more test paper sets are used (difficulty bias) or several examiners evaluate the same test paper (examiner’s bias). This necessitates normalization of the scores and the examination administrators use the equi-percentile method for this purpose.
