Geochemistry of Mallampalli Group Phyllite from Pakhal Supergroup, Western Belt of Pakhal Basin in Pg Valley, Telangana: Implications for Provenance & Source Area Weathering
Authors: - Debapriya Adhikary , - Chinchu S.V
Published: May 2024

Phyllites from the Mallampalli group from the Pakhal Supergroup rocks of Pakhal Basin in PG Valley, Telangana,India was analyzed for their major and trace element geochemistry in order to constrain their provenance and source area weathering. The analyses of the phyllites generally define a single geochemical group by their major- and trace-element abundances. The metamorphosed sediments may be classified as immature by their high index of compositional variability values of mostly < 1. HREE are generally depleted whereas LREE are typically enriched relative to average Proterozoic upper crust. Such geochemical characteristics suggest that the source of the phyllites dominantly consisted of felsic rocks. Average Cr and Ni abundances and Cr/Ni ratios of average phyllites of the Mallampalli metasediments indicate that the source consisted of granitic material. Major element data, plotted in Al2O3 – (CaO+Na2O) – K2O ternary diagram indicate that the phyllites have not undergone significant post-depositional K metasomatism. Low to moderately high chemical weathering of the source terrane is indicated by pre metasomatized chemical index of alteration values of 60 – 86. The geochemical data further suggest that the sediments were deposited within a passive margin setting and mostly supplied by the adjacent basement granitoids.

The Contrasts between Traditional and Modern Diplomacy
Authors: - Hikmatullah Mulki , - Abdul Rahman Saeed , - Mohammad Hasham Hasrat
Published: May 2024

Throughout history, diplomacy has been served as a means of creating and managing connections between nations, addressing requirements, and resolving a range of political, economic, social, and cultural issues. It is an axiom that the organization and establishment of states in ancient times differed from the structure of contemporary states. Hence, the nature of their interactions, diplomatic strategies and the appointment of representatives and their roles in foreign countries are entirely distinct from those of the past time. In the past, state diplomacy was temporary, confidential, conducted between two parties, and solely aimed at resolving political issues. Following the Treaty of Westphalia and the subsequent formation of the nation-state system, diplomacy has evolved into its contemporary form. This transformation has been influenced by the advent of modern technology and the proliferation of information and communication tools, which have significantly impacted various facets of human life at both national and international levels. Consequently, there has been a fundamental shift in the nature, scope, participants, objectives, influential factors, and operational mechanisms of diplomacy and diplomatic interactions among nations. This study aims to examine the topic of political science, with a specific focus on international relations professionals. It seeks to explore the distinctions between historical and contemporary diplomacy and to provide a comprehensive and effective response to this inquiry.

Challenges for Leading Edge node FINFET
Authors: - Selva Lakshman Murali
Published: May 2024

The primary focus of this work is to find out the challenges associated with 7nm node finFET. To enable the current generation of gadgets/instruments, foundries are going toward smaller geometries (FinFET 7nm, 5nm, etc.) for manufacturing SOC/ASIC. To support the 7nm technology node without EUV, the Layout Design Rules have been scaled quite aggressively. As a result, obtaining satisfactory performance and yield in High Volume Manufacturing (HVM) has become a difficult undertaking. The gains in terms of power, performance, and other characteristics that become available with reduced geometries are the main drivers driving this movement. Analog/mixed-signal circuits, on the other hand, do not fully achieve these gains. They get increasingly difficult to design, with higher parasitic resistance and capacitance, more layout-dependent effects, and, in certain cases, layout growth. While in terms of fabrication the challenges are in node and cost, mask making, patterning, transistor formation, BEOL, MEOL, Technology parasitic elements and process control etc. This indicate what are the challenges for design of 7nm node FinFET.

Bakhtin discusses his ideas on aesthetics, phenomenology of self, heteroglossia, chronotope,dialogism,carnival, polyphony, centrifugal and centripetal forces, textuality and intertextuality. According to Bakhtin, an individual cannot be the definition of truth but the phenomenon remains unexhausted and unrevealed. He again is of the view that one cannot examine the prehistory of the novelistic discourse with mere literary styles.

The Effects of Social Restraints and Gender Roles on the Female Characters in Sons and Lovers
Authors: - Afroza Siddika
Published: May 2024

Abstract:
This study looks at how societal norms and gender roles are portrayed in D.H. Lawrence's novel Sons and Lovers and how they affect the female characters. In the sociocultural backdrop of late Victorian England, this study examines the complexity of female identity, agency, and autonomy through a thorough analysis of the three main female characters: Gertrude Morel, Miriam Leivers, and Clara Dawes. Using theoretical frameworks from social constructivism, gender studies, and feminist theory, the study explores how societal norms and gender roles influence the relationships, ideas, and behaviors of the female characters. By analyzing the narrative strategies, symbolism, locations, objects, and language that Lawrence uses, the research clarifies the novel's complex representation of social norms and gender expectations. The article also addresses Sons and Lovers applicability to current debates concerning gender issues and social standards, emphasizing the novel's lasting value as a piece of literature that elicits contemplation on the survival of patriarchal systems and the necessity of social transformation. The article concludes by outlining potential directions for future investigation and study in this field, such as interdisciplinary studies that look at the intersections between gender expectations and other identity markers and comparative assessments of gender portrayal in other literary works.

The largest issue facing the deaf and dumb community these days is communication with both the general public and fellow deaf and dumb people. Ordinary individuals can learn new information from spoken language, everyday conversations, and surrounding sounds. Individuals who are hard of hearing or deaf do not enjoy this luxury. These people will gain from this approach since it provides a means of communication. The term "assistive technology" describes gadgets that are rehabilitative, adaptive, and made for people with disabilities. This project aims to develop a system that can recognize sign language, bridging the communication gap by enabling those with speech impairments to interact with others who do not. Hand gestures are important because, in contrast to other techniques, they enable people to express their ideas rapidly. The current work aims to recognize signs using an image processing-based gesture recognition module and convert the corresponding speech to text using a text-to-speech synthesizer

This research paper investigates the effectiveness of a targeted reading intervention program, referred to as Project HOFOMI, on improving the reading comprehension levels of Grade 10 learners. The study employed pretest and post test assessments based on the Reading GATES survey to evaluate changes in students' comprehension abilities before and after the intervention. The results demonstrate a significant enhancement in reading comprehension skills among Grade 10 learners following the implementation of Project HOFOMI. Specifically, a notable shift was observed from Grade 9 to Grade 10 reading levels, indicating the program's success in elevating learners' proficiency. Statistical analysis confirms the substantial impact of Project HOFOMI, with post test scores showing a significant increase compared to pretest scores. Moreover, qualitative feedback from participants highlights high levels of satisfaction and perceived effectiveness of the intervention in fostering comprehensive learning and personal growth. The findings underscore the importance of evidence-based educational interventions in addressing specific learning needs and promoting skill development among students. Recommendations include further investigation into improving outcomes for higher-grade levels and the continuous monitoring and adaptation of intervention strategies to ensure sustained progress in reading comprehension skills.
