 Abstract

Asomiya Handpicked Fictions (Katha Book), a collection of 18 Assamese short stories, belongs to North-East Indian Literature. North-East India comprises eight states, such as, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura, and Sikkim. Each state has rich cultural heritage and unique identity. The literary works from North-East India have always been associated with different kinds of themes based on the diversities of its people, culture, land, and society. Along with other literary genres, like novel, poetry, essay, the short story is also a platform for the writers for throwing light on various aspects of North-East Indian society. This article has made an attempt to discuss on the portrayal of women in Assamese short stories, through the study of selected short stories from Asomiya Handpicked Fictions

Abstract: Machine learning has been adopted in a wide range of domains where it shows its superiority over other algorithms. These methods can also be integrated in cyber detection systems with the goal of supporting replacing the first level of security analysts. Although the complete automation of detection and analysis is an still a distant goal, the efficiency of machine learning in cyber security must be evaluated with the due diligence. We present an analysis, addressed to security specialists, of machine learning techniques applied to the different types of cyber attacks. The goal is to assess the current maturity of these solutions and to identify their main limitations that prevent an immediate adoption of those machine learning cyber detection schemes. Our conclusions are based on an extensive review of the literature as well as on experiments performed on real enterprise systems and network traffic in different conditions.

They ruled over six hundred years (1228-1826 AD) with a reasonable stable government, and their kings governed till the British�s annexation in the 1st half of 19th century. The first Ahom King Sukapha established his Caraideo in 1253 AD. After him the later Ahom kings established another four Capital cities at Charagua ,Garhgaon, Rangpur and Jorhat.

 Abstract

Pediatric cancer patients are vulnerable to malnutrition. They exhibit increased needs during disease and treatment. Pediatric friendly nutrition education tool for cancer patients in vernacular medium could address nutritional issues and compliance. Vernacular board game focusing on neutropenic diet was developed, validated for content and approved by practicing dietitians. Questionnaires in local languages to test efficacy, acceptance and relevance were also developed. The Hindi translated board game was tested on 10 pediatric cancer patients (7-10 years) with no specificity to the type of cancer. Responses were taken before and after the intervention and analyzed by T-test and percentages. Statistical significance was considered when p value was < 0.05. Study showed that patients were aware of neutropenic diet and its benefits, but lacked information about complications of noncompliance, and approved food lists. Post intervention, all patients� knowledge about neutropenic diet improved. The results found were statistically significant (p value 0.00). All patients liked the tools and agreed that it helped in understanding nutrition. Characteristics, appearance (100%), informative (60%), interactive (90%) and enjoyable (90%) were rated highest by patients. Nutrition education has positive effect in improving knowledge about nutrition among pediatric cancer patients. Further research is required to bring about a greater change in the health of pediatric cancer patients in the languages understood by them.

 Abstract

With the growing energy demands and depleting natural resources, it is of utmost importance to work on developing alternating source of energy and to improve the existing technology to utilize the existing resources. Coal-based energy generation meets around 70 percent of our energy needs. Now, to move forward towards a cleaner energy production mechanism and to attain the energy security of the country, judicious utilization of Indian coal is essential. The quality of Indian coal is poor and is worsening since the higher quality resources have already been exploited. Coking coal accounts for around 18-20 percent, of which only a small percentage is of prime coking quality. CO-gasification is the technology to improve the utilization of coal to increase the efficiency of coal utilization.

In the coming years, robots and computers could overtake the millions of years of evolution that generated our perception and intelligence. The objective of the paper is to present the perspectives of development of robots and implication and future of Artificial Intelligence in various domains across management. The World Economic Forum in its reports for 2018 has warned that the economies around the world are still vulnerable to new shocks and are unprepared for the new/next wave/flow of automation and robortization.

 Abstract

CFD General Notation System (CGNS) provides an industry standard, portable and extensible scheme for the storage and retrieval of computational fluid dynamics mesh and data. The CGNS standard includes structured and unstructured grid information, boundary condition, multi-zone interface connectivity etc. Any complex mesh and data can be exported as CGNS file and this capability is provided by many CFD software. OpenFOAM, the powerful open-source CFD software, doesn't natively facilitate handling of CGNS mesh. In fact one of the drawbacks of OpenFOAM is generation of complex mesh to be used with it. It will be very useful to develop capability to import mesh data available in CGNS format in OpenFOAM, so that the code can be used for various industrial applications. In order to validate the mesh conversion, local wall shear stress under turbulent flow through straight pipe is analyzed then the flow through torus is analyzed.

 Abstract

This paper critically analyses the construction and deconstruction of �mothering� and �parenthood� through the perspectives of dialectical discourses ranging from medical epistemology, media and social norms. Contemporary developments such as the decriminalization of LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer or Questioning)1 sexuality might not ensure an extended social confirmatory role of a �mother� or a caregiver. Stretching to such concerns, homosexuality and transsexuality as a sexual behavior has been quite debatable through the historical authoritative notions of disciplinary boundaries, questioning the social validation of the �body� and �identity� in terms of pathological progression and popular representations of role internalization and generalization. The inner conflict within the systemic forces of legality and culture remains an ineradicable journey of contesting between spaces of struggle and assertion from varying movements of sexual and behavioral possibilities to a demarcation of limitations.
