Man is a gregarious animal. He has reasoning faculty bestowed by the invisible force by whatever name He is called. Communal bonding in reciprocation to the rest of the counterparts is felt in virtues and adversities. The reflections are imminent but complementary. The strength and weakness of human beings as individuals and as a group have volumes to speak. Human beings aspire for personal recognition. The secular spirit dawned with the social contract that appeared on the foundations of modern renaissance thrust which bore fruit and finally attained its ultimate form in the frame of secular and humanistic spirit. The common human motivation which is more or less common to all human civilizations and cultures attained its ultimate and humanistic formulation which incarnated in the present thrive of humanistic thought in this existential manifestations of Black writers. Ralph Ellison is one among those writers which is the area of present study of Invisible Man. The driving force behind the entire study is 'humanism' in the realms of African-American Society. The spiritual insight which sought the perfection and salvation for the African-Americans is overwhelming across the Black arena.

 Abstract

Indian constitution has all the features of federal constitution, the centre and states are independent to make laws in the respective field assigned by the constitution. However, the centre has supremacy in certain situations that is also mentioned in the Constitution itself. If either government tries to transgress the limits an independent judiciary plays an important role as the apex court is considered the protector and guarantor of the Constitution. The concept of federalism in India keeps changing since the commencement of the Constitution. The Indian model of federalism may be one of the most interesting types in the world, characterised by the fact that it begins with a paradox: "centralised federalism". This paper involves the temporal framework in the discourse on Indian federalism by tracing the history of the country's federal structure in four different time periods, from the birth of the India as a republic to these contemporary times. This shows how the political factors are prevailing in each of these four different phases served to strengthen the Indian federal discourse, despite the centralised constitutional set-up of Indian polity. This paper tries to achieve the aim of highlighting the different patterns of Indian federal response shaped by the various political factors over the time and provides the recommendations for strengthening India's federal structure.

 Abstract

A WSN is a collection of sensor nodes organized into a co-operative network. Each sensor node is consisting of microcontroller, memory unit, battery unit and communication interface. WSN were invented to study, control and monitor events and phenomenon. WSNs are having variety of applications in industrial, medical and military areas. Sensor node senses the data, processes it and shares it via communication unit to a base station or a sink node. As these nodes are mostly deployed in harsh environments or unattended areas with limited energy sources, they are more prone to failures. These failures may be due to battery depletions, hardware failures or communication link failures. These may lead to lower desired level of functionality. In this paper, areas of fault occurrences in nodes, importance of fault tolerance and some fault tolerance mechanisms for WSNs are covered in detail.

In order to match the international standards in teaching and research, a mentor must continuously work hard to stay up with the expanding body of knowledge. Standards for excellence in research often place an emphasis on the qualities of objectivity, internal validity, external validity, reliability, rigour, open-mindedness, honest and detailed reporting. Researchers generally lacks credibility, even with its target audience of teachers and administrators maybe because of not using educational research to influence educational practice. There is need for a conceptual framework to serve as the foundation for educational research as there is low comprehension of research methods, and the inability of the research to have an impact on educational policies, programmes, or practice. This paper is an attempt to study the various research initiatives in India, their contribution and identification of lacunae during conduct of research. Suggestions have been given to overcome these lacunae.
