 Abstract

Hardware accelerators for deep neural networks (DNNs) play a pivotal role in enabling low-latency inference on power-constrained edge and wearable devices. However, sustained high-performance computation in such accelerators leads to increased energy consumption, reducing their suitability for real-time mobile deployments. This paper presents a novel design of a coarse-grained DVFS-aware hardware accelerator that integrates dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) to improve energy efficiency without compromising correctness or data throughput. To reduce control complexity, the system replaces traditional ML-based DVFS predictors with a lightweight finite-state machine (FSM)-based DVFS mimic. The proposed architecture includes five core components--Global Buffer, Data Dispatcher, Processing Element (PE) Array, DVFS Mimic Controller, and Accelerator Controller--all implemented in synthesizable SystemVerilog. Simulation results confirm that the architecture dynamically adapts computation delays based on simulated V/F levels while maintaining correctness in MAC and ReLU operations. The design is modular, scalable, and well- suited for future integration with AI workloads on edge SoCs.

 Abstract

The Indian judicial system faces a serious problem of delay in case disposal, resulting in pendency of millions of cases across courts. The right to a speedy trial, recognized as a fundamental right under Article 21 of the Constitution of India, has often been undermined by procedural delays, backlog, and overburdened courts. To address this issue, various mechanisms under the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) and now the Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS) allow for disposal of cases without a full trial. These include plea bargaining, summary trials and compounding of offences etc. This study explores how such mechanisms align with the constitutional mandate of speedy trial while ensuring justice.

 Abstract

A pot experiment was conducted to investigate the impact of urea fertilizer treated with corn or conocarpus residues on the growth and nitrogen uptake of wheat plants. Three kilograms of dry sandy loam soil were placed in plastic pots, and four nitrogen levels (0, 60, 120, and 180 kg N ha -1) were applied in the form of urea. The urea was treated using one of the following methods: mixed with conocarpus leaf powder at a rate of 3% of the dry soil weight, mixed with conocarpus root powder at a rate of 3% of the dry soil weight dissolved in an aqueous extract of corn roots at a rate of 1/4 of the field capacity, or coated with dried aqueous extract of corn roots at a ratio of 9% of the urea weight. Additionally, urea treated with a standard chemical inhibitor (PMA) was included in the treatments. Measurements of shoot dry weight, nitrogen concentration, nitrogen uptake, and nitrogen recovery were taken. The results indicated that treating urea fertilizer with water extract or coating it with corn root extract led to enhanced growth parameters compared to the PMA and control treatments. However, treating urea with leaf or root powders resulted in a decrease in plant growth parameters. Urea coated with 9% dried corn root extract produced the highest dry matter of 2.98 g pot-1 and nitrogen uptake of 66.95 mg pot-1, achieving a reduction of 50 kg N ha-1 while yielding similar results to the control and PMA treatments.

 Abstract

Tamaka Shwasa is a chronic and recurrent respiratory disorder described in Ayurvedic Samhitas, closely resembling bronchial asthma in modern medicine. It is characterized by Shwasa Kashtata (dyspnea), Ghurghuraka (wheezing), Kasa (cough), and episodes of Paroxysmal Shwasa often aggravated by environmental triggers, diet, and seasonal variations. In children, Tamaka Shwasa presents with unique clinical challenges due to immature respiratory physiology, genetic predisposition, and environmental susceptibility. Ayurvedic texts describe it as a Yapya Vyadhi (manageable but not completely curable), caused primarily by Vata-Kapha Dosha Prakopa with Pranavaha Srotodushti. Modern pediatrics correlates it with bronchial asthma, emphasizing immune hyper-responsiveness and airway inflammation. Early diagnosis and holistic management are crucial to reduce morbidity and prevent long-term complications. Integrating Ayurvedic approaches with modern pediatric care offers a promising path for improving quality of life and minimizing relapses in children with Tamaka Shwasa.

 Abstract

ABSTRACT The Arthashastra, an influential ancient Indian treatise on statecraft and economic policy, is attributed to Kautilya or Chanakya or Vishnugupta and composed during the rise of the Mauryan Empire. It presents a comprehensive framework for governance that situates economic prosperity (Artha) as the foundation of state power and stability. Kautilya's economic philosophy emphasises a strong and interventionist state as the driving force behind growth, security, and public welfare. His detailed prescriptions on public finance, agriculture, trade, and social security resonate with many principles embedded in modern economic systems. Notably, his vision of a welfare-oriented, developmental state prefigures contemporary notions of state-led development, inclusive growth, and strategic trade policy. At the same time, the text reveals a persistent tension between its autocratic, realpolitik-driven model of governance and the ideals of liberal democracy and free-market capitalism. Rather than a universal blueprint for development, the Arthashastra should be understood as a nuanced and pragmatic intellectual resource, whose enduring significance lies in its welfare-centric approach to statecraft and its ability to provide an alternative perspective to dominant Western economic thought.

 Abstract

In recent years, psychological well-being has become a primary concern in adult mental health discourse, particularly because of the rising incidence of stress, anxiety, and emotional disturbances. Meditation has emerged as a widely accepted complementary practice, with Raja yoga meditation being distinguished by its spiritual and cognitive benefits. Unlike conventional meditation, Raja yoga involves open-eyed introspection, positive affirmations, and a connection with the Supreme Soul. This review examines the empirical evidence and theoretical perspectives surrounding the practice of Raja yoga meditation and its impact on adults' psychological well-being. Findings from various studies suggest positive outcomes, including enhanced emotional regulation, resilience, self-awareness, and life satisfaction. This study also identifies gaps in the existing literature and discusses the implications of integrating Raja yoga meditation into mainstream mental health strategies.
